Merry Christmas!

I hope it's a safe and happy one for you all.

Teen High Zombie Squad

The jaunty-yet-never-magniloquent Mr Darren Randall has revealed some footage from Teen High Zombie Squad! Here's the description from his blog:

"Teen High Zombie Squad began as a personal project I developed in my own time, working with the very talented stylings of my good friend James Brouwer, who developed the character designs with me. We merged our art styles together calling it "Brundle fly" resulting in the art style you see in the video. The project was pitched to Krome Studios where it was successful as far as getting a team of up to 12 assigned to the project. Under my direction, we created this trailer and a playable demo in 3 weeks (a lot of the art assets here were already built before the project was pitched to Krome). The trailer was successful in catching the eyes of a few different publishers but unfortunately Krome recently went into liquidation. As the creator, art director and co-character designer this is my most proud work to date."


**We should also mention that the environment concepts/stylings were done by the despicably talented Mr Jeremy Love.**

10 Second Sketch

I quite like this one.

Allons-y

A quick piece for a pitch that went nowhere...

Phaeton In His Chariot

Here's another fun project from the fearsome yet benevolent Robert Chandler of Space Age Films...

Mary Marvel

Here's my new 'Favourite Character I Never Knew Existed'.

Seen From The Bus

Her skateboard is long but she is quite small;
At least she won't have that far to fall.

By The Wayside

Hi, Internets! Here are some ditched first draft images from a couple of cool projects I'm working on at the moment.

Grotto

This is what, the eleventy-fifth mermaid I've posted?

Downtown Coolsville

While I was on leave after GG's birth, we watched The Iron Giant for the first time with MM (4 years and 3 months). I tried my hardest not to cry during the film. (Failed.)

Go Team!

Hey Internets! Earlier this month we welcomed our daughter GG into the world. Here's the newest member of the Awesome Squad at 2 days old.

Webslinger

A little lad sent me a picture of Spider-Man and asked for one in return! Here's the one I did:

Under Wraps

Here's a small teaser from another project I'm working on with the very debonair Mr Robert Chandler, of Space Age Films. Very excited for this one!

City Of Fire

A project I'm involved in has made it onto the web - it's 'City Of Fire', from Robert Chandler and Hibbert Ralph Film. Hopefully I'll have more to post from this as it develops!

New Shambles

The Super Art Shambles group blog experiment ground to a halt almost a year ago, so I thought I'd make it live up to its name and use it as a graveyard for all those unfinished sketches I have lying around.

Clickety click!

Coming Soon(ish)

So... Courtesy of the dashing and talented Mr. Tom Taylor, this is happening:

...this is shaping up nicely too:


The last year or so has been pretty big, here's hoping for a huge year ahead!

One For June

I've already matched my posting output for May!

May Post

End of May and no posts?!!

...here's a bird.

...what just happened?

Yesterday was my last day at Krome Studios.

I gave 2 weeks notice on Thursday, and having accrued about 2 weeks leave meant that I resigned on Thursday, left on Friday - must be the shortest notice period I've ever worked.

I'm still reeling from the sudden departure; there's no denying Krome has had its issues, but they were willing to give me a chance back in 2007, 6 months after I came back to Australia from 3 years overseas.

So thanks to everyone at Krome - for their repartee, buffoonery, helpfulness and generosity through often trying circumstances. You will be missed.

Jetpacks! Fisticuffs!

Drama!

Nonsense

Lots of that here.


Sorry for the lack of posts, Internets! Should have some more pictures up soon.

Exercise is good for you and your dragon.

Robots & Cowboys

Hey Internets - maybe if work calms down I can post more often... For now, here are a dreaming robot and the picture for JJ's 2nd birthday invitation.

Winter

I'm sure being snowbound can be terribly frustrating, but it's been great to hear of the fun my friends in the UK have been having in all that snow... I do miss a proper winter.
