Updates

After a whirlwind January where I posted three different times, I have been a little off the radar. I had taken a break from creative work for a while, mainly because of some personal circumstances within my family. I am now getting back into the habit of creating content again and my two most recent pieces are graphic design work. The first piece is a gamer character based on myself which was created for the Campbell Gaming Youtube page . This channel was created by my good friend Jon Campbell for game streams and that I will be appearing on every now and again.

The second piece is a Raccoon warrior piece that I created for a client who had actually seen this as a sketch and commissioned me to colour it digitally for his own use.

Going forward, I have a few things planned out. I seem to be pushing myself more in the design direction at the moment which doesn’t overly faze me, despite being a specialist in animation. It is not due to a lack of ideas, as I am brimming with those, but more so time.

I organise my projects in a list of importance and I work through it that way. Sometimes projects get totally moved to the bottom of the list and some get pulled forward. This technique isn’t for everyone, however it is a technique I have found very useful and works well for me.

Going forward from here I have plans to do a one shot comic and see what the reaction to that is. However I have also designed a character recently that I would very much like to use as a comic and take a chance with that. My first interest in the creative business was actually in comic books and I really want to attempt it.

Animation wise I have a few ideas in the works, I have almost finished planning stages in the BBC project that I have been working on and it will be moving into full production very soon. 

I will be sure to post updates as soon as I am able to. I have also storyboarded an idea for a sequel to my Saul & Pepper cartoon and this may be the next animated piece I work on.

More Pirates!

Alongside working on my new animation "Meatballs" (below) I have also been coming up with new character designs, and it is Pirates (yet again!) The crew I'm building are more of a villain crew, and I picture them as the antagonists to my first crew. I will eventually get around to digitally colouring these then who knows, maybe I will develop things further with a one off comic.

 This is the Captain of the crew, and Captain Avery's nemesis.

This character (Amarog) is highly powerful and surprisingly fast.

This character is called Simi. He isn't the most skilled fighter, however, due to his ability to climb and his speed, he makes himself a powerful contender.

I think of this character as a total wild card, borderline psychopath.

Here we have the protagonists crew.
