OFFSET x SOUVENIR: POSTER

As mentioned in the previous post, I'm uploading my final poster today. I think the development through the other two posters is pretty easy to see. I really like to draw things flying.

OFFSET x SOUVENIR groundwork

 Hey. I had a busy year last year and didn't update this blog even once. I wasn't drawing a lot either to be honest except for posters and other quickly lashed out functional designs. I'm actually not sure about the longevity of this blog. I might end up moving somewhere else entirely... but for now here's some work I did for this event organised by Mr Steve McCarthy.

I can sort of indecisive at times.. so I ended up doing three different versions of the poster. These are two unused designs. I'll post the final poster on the day of the event.

Family Portrait.

Spent most of my weekend working on this. Acrylics on the lid of a wooden wine crate. It's a late submission for a charity auction. Hopefully it'll get accepted. Below the camera-phone quality photo is the digital colour sketch I did before hand. I need to paint more. It was fun.
It's a sort of a family portrait of cacti. Inspired by the Old Man cactus and Old Lady cactus in the middle. It ended up a bit crowded and I prefer the shapes and sizes in the digital but I guess this is what happens when you haven't painted in about a year. Also this is easily the biggest piece I've ever painted.

Asian Water Buffalo.

I drew this for last month's theme on the BoulderMedia art blog.

Mose Day

For Erin and Mose. Mose turned four last week. So I drew a picture. Dandelions because I was enjoying our little patch of them until the landlord came and gave the garden a buzz cut :c

 

Falco

I can explain but I won't.

Face

Mr. Robert Semple himself. Drawing people I know is more fun than it should be.

Oh also: you might have noticed I cleaned up some posts here a bit. Stupid doodles and the like have been moved to a new purpose-built tumblr: Cosmonautical Quotidian.

Greenery

Here are some concept images for a thing I was working on and now am not working on but may return to some incarnation of it in the future.

Speedpainting

Some speedpainting I did yesterday. The characters in the top picture are Niamh's lovely pirate couple. They're a lot of fun to draw.
COLOUR ♡♡♡♡♡

Here comes the sun.

Guilty sketch dump

Started trying to watch Peep Show in order. I think it's really a show you need to watch with someone or it can be kind of painful. Ah well. I drew this with Sakura fineliners - those pens that people use to ~ink their beautiful manga drawrerings~. I feel like there's a floaty-haired, long-lashed shojo manga goddess crying somewhere.
Next some sketches that I was mucking around with in Photoshop instead of doing film work :C

 

 Oh I remember why I started distracting myself: OH MY GOD NEIGHBOURS MAKE YOUR BABY STOP CRYING WHAT ARE YOU DOING FFFFFFFF.

Boarding

Some colour boards from my film project. In no particular order.

My friend is old now.

Steady on

I was in Tesco just after Christmas and was horrified to see they had already cleared their wall of Christmas confectionery in favour of, not Valentine's gifts as you might think but: Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies. WAT. It's (was at that point) FOUR MONTHS AWAY D:

I just wanted to share that fact. Having drawn this quickly as a sort of experiment seemed like a good opportunity to mention it.

Layouting

Hello. It's been nearly a month since I posted here. That's terrible. All I have to offer for the time being is this layout I was working on.

I almost like it. Which makes it my favourite bit of my film project so far.

普通

 

Some fanart today. Watching Gainax's Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. These are Panty(R) and Stocking(L). Really generic looking. Hurts my eyes.

June

My picture for the Inklude Collective calendar. My month is JUNE. June always has a rubbish, boring picture. I felt a responsibility to change this. Is this okay? Idk if I was being too scene kid on it with the filters at the end.

FSF*04

Finished pre-production manual today. Fun thesis time now. I'm sure it'll be fine. Right? Right?
