So here are is a sneek peek at the new Warfear artwork.
The scanned pencil artwork, I basically pump up the white and black contrast.
Then I combine the pencil work with old paper texture to have a surface to start painting on.
Now I start to lay down the basic colour wash over the entire image to establish the overall tone to the artwork
Details of the painting in progress…stay tuned for more updates

THE EPIC MOVIE POSTER DESIGN CONTEST II: AWESOME EPICNESS!!
So here is the details to this crazy cool competition.
[link]
I decided to go with the poster design of ‘DRACULA’S HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN’.
After reading the brief, I decided to make a poster like the old hammer House of horrors movie posters- in the poster they would try to tell a bit of the story.
So in my version I have the werewolf ‘WALDEMAR DRACUL’ in the final battle with ‘KHLAREE’ the evil sorcerer, I wanted to create the feeling of who? is going to win, will the werewolf be rid of his curse forever or will Khlaree stab him in the heart with the silver dagger forged from the banks of the Nile.
BIANCA, is my third character- a mysterious gypsy, in the poster I wanted to give her appearance of a weaver of fates.
SO here is the final artwork
And here is a inspiration board I made, to help spark ideas for when I was creating the final piece, some of the elements you might notce like the pattern motif an the background.

This is my entry for the ipsyvanessalake.com competition on deviant art.
The premise of the competion is to make a artwork using Vanessa Lake as the subject matter and is totally open to intrepretation.
This is my submission for the IspyVanessaLake competition that is been hosted by fellow deviant *Attache.
I wanted to try to combine a sort of burlesque show poster with a sort of strip-o-rama.
I really enjoyed doing this Vanessa Lake is an amazing model, I can see why she is so popular.
Enjoy

This was a collaborated effort between myself and Justin Mabry, a very talented sculpter and maskmaker.
So we decided that http://www.nightowlpro.com/index.html , needed a new fresh look and I wanted the Shockmonster to be a star of the show, so I created a spoof movie poster based on the shockmonster mask.
I also decided to re-shuffle the poster to fit my longposter format as well, as they are slowly becomming my signature pieces.
Here are the different versions of the Shock monster poster…Enjoy.

Being a massive fan of the Ilsa series, I decide to do a take on Ilsa Tigress of Siberia.
What I wanted to do with this was to create a more pinup based poster and create a image thats a literal representaion of the the movie’s title.
I also wanted to incorporate the old style of cencorship by playcing stars over the acressse’s nipples on the poster.
Here is the original movie poster:
Here is my poster version as well as the long format version of the poster.

HI All
I have been doing some high detail renders at work for the last two weeks, and so I thought I would do try something a little different to my usual style of rendering for my own art.
I have always loved the full door size poster of Vampirella so I decided I would make one of the same format, I did take a few liberties with her costume.
I wanted to show her resting or waking from a very basic wooden coffin with a sexy vampire look, that says “come to me my human sheep I want your blood”
I also decided to ditch the boots, I mean who goes to sleep with thier shoes on, so thats why she has not yet got her boots on.

So here is a new commission artwork from the band Warfear for a CD cover of thier upcomming EP.
The theme was a take on left for dead , but adding the band members as the undead.
I decided to go for a sort of EC style comic look, but a little more updated so less halftone and more intense colour in the image and the use of textures as well.
I used halftone more extensively on the backdrop buildings and alleyway beacuse I wanted the zombies to be the focus of the piece.
To break the composistion up a bit as well and make it less centralised I made the creatures look and point outwards.
