Work In Progress - Print Making

I have carved my first Lino blocks today and have printed my first test pieces. The outcomes were expected and I have a long way to go, but think this medium and I will be well suited.

Work In Progress - Death Dress Up

One of many illustrative projects that I would like to work on.



I keep on doodling this guy so I reckon I had better do something with him.

Canvas - started work - need motivation.

Print making - need the right tools, could work okay.

Stencil - Needs work in simplifying the lines for the cutouts.

Work In Progress - Female Sculpt

A very odd beginning. My initiation into sculpting with 'Green Stuff' Modelling putty.
I had no idea what this would be for, or why I was creating this. It has sat, unattended for about three years. It got a coat of paint and a little more work in that time, but continued just to be moved around whilst I was searching or storing other items.



I'm going to 'finish' this off, however, I don't really understand what finishing off will entail.

I'm leaning towards cyborg and Mech additions.

It won't look realistic or right but will look okay.

Work in action - District

One of the part time projects I am involved in involves creating a miniature based table top wargame.

District is written by a good friend, and whilst I am no great shakes at creating rulesets I have been asked to provide some illustrations of the universe the game inhabits.



One of my first attempts at exploring this universe. I need to produce better work , which will happen.

Another attempt made was this.



I am very unsure about this effort. My composition skills are lacking as is my figurative work, amongst other errors. A long term project will be to attempt more life drawing and life studies, an aspect that I have previously avoided.

Revitalisation

I am revitalising this old blog. Set to be a repository and time line of my ideas from conception or initial thoughts through to completion.

Initially the focus should be on illustrative work, from doodles sketches to completion via canvases, paintings, pencil drawings or digital artwork.

May include stories or ideas which become physical projects such as the models I am currently working on.
