A redo

Wow I really haven't been doing a lot creatively lately! O_O
Anyhow, I needed to sort out my portfolio for various reasons and ended up doing a re-gig on my space propulsion article image from a while back. I wasn't happy with it before and always preferred the character in the background to the one in the front so here's a re-arrangement without the silver surfer style character:

Sketchbook

I hadn't done a lot of free drawing since I left uni so the last few weeks I've been going out to museums when I can. These are a selection of my sketchbook drawings.

Ipswich Museum:

Dublin National Museum:

Cambridge Zoology Museum:

Alpine Soundtrack

Two versions of an entry into a supremebeing competition to create an image inspired by the phrase 'alpine soundtrack.' The wave pattern in the sky, emanating from the mountains, is drawn from a cool special photo of what actual soundwaves look like that I found.

P.s: this is the first thing I've made using my brand new CS5 rather than my slightly dodgy version of CS2! :)

Chinese Dragon

It's been a while since I did anything new. This is possibly a competition entry but mostly just a more extensive experiment with the layered pattern/texture technique I've developed recently (as you can see on the scales and the hair.) Also, I love dragons! :)

My First Sleeping Beauty

My entry for a ballet poster competition; 'My First Sleeping Beauty.' Part of the competion is judged on voting, so if you like my entry, please vote for me here: talenthouse. :)

IP1 again

I worked on this editorial for IP1 a while ago but couldn't post it till the magazine came out yesterday.
