Vampirella
19 July 2010
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.

Warfear’s New CD cover art
10 July 2010
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.

‘This Island Earth’
8 July 2010
This was a quick ink sketch of the Metaluna alien from ‘This Island Earth’.
I had no reference of the alien and drew just from memory, hence the sleek look, it looksmore like something from Kamen rider..LOL
But I decided to give it a quick colour treatment anyways and make it look like a insert in a comic book or something.
Enjoy

The art work is going to be used for a black and white T-shirt print.
This is the revised version
I was curious to see what it could look like in colour so this is what I came up with

Dance Mecabre
16 May 2010
I wanted to try somthing a little different here, basicaly its still the same B-Movie poster format that I use.
But what I wanted to try this time, is a combination of classical horror comics and pin-ups combined.
So this one is my first test run, I took the idea from a old eerie comic and then added all my goodies to it, to create Dance Mecabre.
Here is a closeup on the linework, scanned in at 300DPI I used brightness and contrast to create the very deep lines
Then adding a multiply layer I painted under the line work to keep the ‘comic book feel’
Till later

Female Nude study
7 May 2010
Decided to do a life study, found this really nice photo to work from.
What I liked about the photo was that it was taken out side so there was lots of hard shadows and warm highlights, I kept the chair in as well to ground the figure more and place her in some sort of setting even though the background is abstract, this was something that was missing from my previous pin-ups , no props so it was hard to place the figure as to where they are in the scene.
