Penguin Book Cover Competition 2014

This is my almost finished cover for the penguin competition; I looked for visual elements that have survived since the book was published in the 1960's and after exploring speech bubbles, water fountains and cliches, I decided on bottlecaps. I wanted to convey the story in a subtle way; the tower of caps on the front cover is supposed to represent the way in which the author builds tension in the book, until its ultimate and sudden collapse, sprawling the caps over the back cover as well as using the spine to illustrate the caps falling.

Ben

Found this photo of my dog on my camera and had completely forgotten that I'd even taken it. I haven't posted in a while but I'm making no excuses. Here is Ben catching the last of the winter sun:

It had to be in black and white because I'm an amateur and filters make up for mistakes!

Got a bit excited..

Got a bit excited and coloured my Eldarin in like a child with crayons. I am planning on completing a tutorial to colour from black and white so this is by no means finished. Just fancied sharing it as there are a couple differences in design since the last post.

Eldarin

I've started my concept art project on David Gemmell's novel 'Dark Moon'. Here is one of the characters I've been illustrating the past couple hours after giving up after weeks on another!

This is an Eldarin; a race of intelligent pacifists. Its still in greyscale as I havent finished the values and details. I'll update as much as possible!

HRSS Logo

So I thought I'd update the HRSS clan logo. Good to do something ridiculous every now and then.

Let me know what you think.

Painting again.

It's been a while since I have properly painted. My dissertation is my main priority, it still is, just thought I'd have a play with my tablet again. anyway here's an intense face..

Back from Corfu!

I'm back from Corfu after a great relaxing holiday, where I drew, slept, read and ate my way through the 9 days. Here are some of my drawings from that time, most of which inspirations and ideas for my up and coming University project "Dark Moon".
