'Racer'..Lunch time Speedpaint - 50 mins

Still not great but Im hanging in there...very much in my 'childrens illustration' comfort zone though.

lunchtime speedpaint - 'One eye'

Soo Im trying to loosen up after getting bogged down with more 'tight' pieces at work. This was painful, Im not proud of it but it had to be done... so warts 'n' all here is it. Hopefully the more I do the better they'll be, just got to form the habit again.

lunchtime Thundercat design

So sometimes at lunch when I can pull myself away from my sarnies we have a speedpaint thing... this is about 40 mins..

....and more

..because Blogger seemed fit to only allow me to attach five or so images and I wasnt finished goddamit!

Your Saturday afternoon Happy Meal

It appears that Ive become somewhat of an estranged father of late in terms of this blog, I've just been so busy with work and things, y'know...slide. So as a way to make a mends please accept a bumper offering. Consider this, if you will, as our Saturday afteroon trip to McDonalds and the emotional bribe of a happy meal.

No! you dont get a toy...I'm not made of money. I guess the harsh and somewhat ironic reality of this all, is that I used this blog to try and get my standard up, and now its getting there and I'm actually employed as a concept artist I've got less stuff to post and less time to do personal work.

Even grimier

Right, another. It's been bothering me why I'm not as happy with these as I'd expect. I have a couple of thoughts, the last few images I've posted I've not had control over the composition so they aren't as dynamic as I'd like, also the images aren't the subject matter you'd get excited about. The other reason could be is that they aren't any good, whichever it is it's all good practice for when I work on my magnum opus

Grimey...

A slightly more gritty affair. It didn't really come out as I wanted but meh... yeah that's right I'm in a 'meh' mood

..a very big house in the cooouunntttrryyyy!

A bit more sedate...

I was working in the lab late one night..

So I finally got around to doing something with this, I think I could have pushed it a little further but this'll do for now.
