Rugby

Here is another sporting sketch I did. This piece is based on an image I saw of a rugby player "spear tackling "his opponent. It is interesting to note the effect of gravity on facial expressions. You can notice the force of gravity dragging the face of the player doing the tackling downwards towards the ground. I must say I am enjoying doing these sporting based sketches, it really helps focus the mind and eye on depth, shape and character interaction.

Images of IA Northern Exposure window

Hello everyone, I thought I would post some images of the IA display window, which featured in this years Northern Exposure festival. I have also posted some images showing various members of the IA committee constructing the display. I must say the people I worked with to get this baby done worked bloody hard! Well done Matt, Sonia, Chris, Jodi, Jeremy and Andrea!
Hope you like the photos!

Action illustration

I felt like doing a action illustration, so I did this illustration based on a photograph I found of two football players.

Character Style Sheet

Hello all,
I finished a character style sheet last night for a medieval foot solider character. I thought I would share it with the world. I completed the line work by hand in pen and ink and then coloured the piece in Corel Painter. Enjoy!
