Big choir

Moved the camera up and to the left from the previous one to try a different viewpoint.

Carols by candlelight

Church choir card design. I went to a Nathan Fowkes workshop on colour and light last weekend through Schoolism. So I am trying to work out how to implement some of the principles Nathan talked about to improve my work. Practise will make perfect.

Christmas Special steam engine

Why does Santa have a train as well as a magical sleigh? This is a good question- most likely for entering countries with restricted airspace.

Over the Threshold

She's the one

Wedding card design. Sticking to pastel colours.

Going bridal

New wedding card design. Going for simple and elegant with this one.

Just Married

Wedding card design. I went with a classic Bentley style car. Originally it was white but I changed it to green and increased the reflectivity of the paint. Was a challenge to work out the reflections.

Christmas skating

Ice skating scene set in a city centre park. Commission.

All in white

American-style church Christmas card design.

Lake Placid

Male range card design.

Santa

Christmas card design. I am trying to work out my 'own' version of Santa in terms of facial features, beard shape etc.

Joey vs The Gundam

 

My son and I have been having some fun building some model kits recently. This one went a little out of control when we decided to implement an AI system into the build.....

Dad Birthday design

An entirely different birthday card for a Dad. Commission. The grey text etc indicates foiling.

Couple of nativity designs for cards painted up first in Photoshop and then in Painter.

There was something a bit strange about the new guy

Creature design illustration.

Romantic Christmas sleigh ride

Christmas card design with a touch of romance in the air.

Santa tending reindeer

Christmas card illustration. Ive been really enjoying painting animals recently and looking into their anatomy. Horses and reindeer are quite similar in many respects.

Santa delivery run

Christmas card illustration. Trying to push the boat (or sleigh) out a bit perspective-wise.

Santa Express

Im going to return to this and the biplane and do some design work on Santa vehicles and see how far I can push the designs. For now these are Christmas card designs.

Maiden flight of the Spirit of Christmas

The gardener

Gardener relaxing in his allotment. Male range card design.

The ace

Male range greetings card design. Was a bit tricky as for greetings cards you always have to obscure the face so it can be 'any man'. I was going for the leafy tennis club look rather than pro circuit.

Exploring rockpools

A boy and his dog at the beach. Greetings card design.

Sunday league football

Football birthday card design.

Wine design

Vineyard design for male range greetings card

F1 racing

Two f1 racing designs. I used a tilted horizon to increase the dynamism of the image.

A robot design I came up with and painted up. I'm going to work it up into a posed full body illustration later.
