I love Vampires

This was the piece was talking about…little work here and there on it. Finally done. I’m liking the little lighting effects and subtle gradients and blurs.

I Named him Torgis

Character names… I don’t have any story for why I named him Torgis. It popped into my head and I saved the file as Torgis. That’s the end. I had painted this whole elaborate background with mountains, but it was a fail. The white background just framed it nicely.

Sketch a day keeps the mind alight

It’s been too long that I’ve been browsing other ladies and gents blogs. The inspiration overload has been great. But it has also left me behind in posting some of my own progress.

This might not be much but it’s some of the loose sketches I’ve been doing lately. More stylized and loose than my more rigid style I’ve been working with in the past.

I’ve been drawing most of my inspiration from the the Anime movie Tekkon Kinkreet. Obviously it’s not as loose. I just love the energy and movement of the characters.

For a few nights I was being very diligent with daring for atleast 2 hours in between other freelance. Trying to focus on female heads. I used reference at time, but I found the characters I drew without I actually prefer.

I got a Human Anatomy for Artists for Christmas from my gorgeous lady. Excellent book, I’ve only started. I’ve been drawing for so long and it’s something I’ve always said I’d learn, but you know how it goes you just want to get straight into the drawing. Learning sucks – right?

Aliens are all around us

Here is what is really an experiment with some bur and glow effects I’ve been trying to perfect. Trying to give it a bit of film filter and some depth, even within this dark background.

Bare Project

I was lucky enough to be 1 of 100 invited artists to participate in amicollective’s BARE project.

Quote from the Bare Project website:

BARE! The am i collective’s latest project marries our motley in-house talents with a handpicked crop of outside artists to share in our vision – provoking boundary pushing art while helping others. We’ve prettied up the soon-to-be-famous, limited edition, 40cm-tall BAREs. Next we want to send these beasties to galleries in all corners of the world. Then we’ll auction them off, on line. Before finally donating all the proceeds to child welfare. Because BARE really cares about you. And the children.

Check out the rest of the amazing BARE’s by some really talented artists from South Africa.

Oh and here’s a picture of me with my BARE and a shot of my humble studio which is soon to be relocated to Tamboerskloof.
