Conceptual work

Following the completion of pre-production on my film, 'Purge' I can show some conceptual work that did not get used in the final design. These are the earliest concepts for Precious the dog.

Little Mule

Little mule likes to paint ^^
This was a cute (perhaps over cute) attempt at a more stylized childrens cartoon. Simplifying animals is great fun to do, anyway, and seeing as I draw a lot of more grotesque art, its nice to keep the sweet side fresh.

Christmas Pictures!

One of these is a doodle I expanded on showing Awa the troll (hasnt he changed? :)) I was inspired during a great lecture and drew him. Never been in a lecture theatre like that, it was with individual desks, like I imagined they would be! Huge!
The horse one was an Equine Secret Santa gift on Deviant Art. I was really pleased with it - they look shiny and plump in the snow ^^

Wrath

A gift for Jessie :) I've been trying to do more tattoo based designs in the hope of making some money, seems to be working as I know a studio willing to take some designs on!

Guardian Angel commission

Another one of my 'crippled angels' as they have come to be known, though this one is less grotesque then normal. It was a commissioned piece so was a little bit toned down: this angel is protecting his human fiercely. It made me want to paint another concept; an angel fallen from grace because she fell in love with Eve (i.e. human sin and human ideals).

The sketch is of a troll - I've improved on trolls quite markedly! :D

Angel Studies

Further angel study for painting.

Crippled by the weight of human cruelty, this angel is blind and deaf. It's mind is simple, and it cannot comprehend the ways of man - yet like a child the angel continues regardless, immortal and loyal to a God it never sees, in pursuit of the elusive beauty of the world.

A more grotesque angel is more beautiful, don't you think? :) I really enjoy drawing angels because there are so many metaphors involved in them; they are different to everyone. I think I've improved by drawing them too ^^ Hopefully I will put this image into some sort of desktop background, when I have time. They refer to one of my short stories, 'Canary Factory'.
