Funding project

Help us out!  I have been working on an Indie game for iOs platform, and managed to do a load of artwork for it so far.  But I am going to need to hire a programmer and musician, and a few other things.  I still have a lot of artwork and animation to do, and to enable me to do this, I have started a project on www.indiegogo.com.  Please go take a look, and donate if at all possible!  Any little bit will greatly help!  Thanks.

Well, it's been far to long since I posted here! I have been very busy working on getting iPhone and iPad games going, and finally found 2guys locally, that are looking to do the same thing.  I have done a few games for overseas clients, one in Australia, one in USA, 2 in SA, and busy with a guy in Italy.  But I have been wanting to get my own games made up, and sold.  I met with 2 guys who are programmers and want to do the same thing.  So we have been brainstorming some ideas, and have two that we have started working on.  The first is a Math's game, I don't want to give away too much on that, but I will be uploading images of the work in progress as I go.  These are of the main character, a futuristic Einstein.  I still have to get him animated, into an "attack" pose, then he goes back to the rest pose.  Also will have to create a "win" pose.  So far this is looking good.  We have 10 characters for the player to choose from, all leading up to the final strongest character, Einstein. You can follow our progress on here or the other two guys blogs www.actionscript.co.za    and   www.stobbs.co.za

Ok, it's been way to long! But I have been very busy with a side project, that I would like to showcase here!
 I have been working on a short graphic novel with 7 other great illustrators, through a website illopond. We got together to produce a Steampunk book, were each illustrator had to write and illustrate their own 8page story.  It was tuff at first doing this on the side while trying to make a living! But the guys I worked with were a great support, and would regularly help each other with advice and updates!  It's actually amazing how well it worked out, considering we are all situated in different country's with different timezones! The book is "8 a Steampunk Anthology" and can be purchased here .  I have added a few pages and adds below. So rush on over and order a massive pile!! Please!! 

Thought I would let you in on what I'm busy working on right now. This is for a client, who wants some character designed for his online game, I think for facebook. Anyway, I can't say to much about it, the usual NDA etc. So far Ive got these characters roughed out. 2managers, 2lawyers, 2pop singers guy and girl. He wanted the lawyers to look smooth one younger than the other, and the managers one indie type casual, the other a bit more upmarket. The singers speek for themselves I think. He has yet to see them, so there will probably be some changes to come. I still have to do some background scenes for the game, not my speciality, I get board doing backgrounds.

Alonso horse character design

I recently had to do a character for a client, that wanted a horse, to look like Alonso the F1 racer.  It turned out to be an interresting challenge.  As you can see it started out quite different to were it ended up. I really like the finished product tho!  The client wanted the pose to reflect the image of "Uncle Sam" were he is pointing at the audience.  I have attached the various stages as he progressed.

Well, I have been off this site for far too long, so I'm making it a thing I must do once a week, ya, right! Anyhooooo, here are some character designs I finished up a few months ago. The Afro haired girl is one I did the sketches for a few years ago, and just recently decided to take it to completion. As you can see, she changed quite a bit. The original was for a kids book, so it was more toned down. I like the end result.

Liquorice Superheros

I did these for the clients of Liquorice SA, for end of year do that they had for their clients. They made poster prints of them and handed them out to their clients at a dinner! was fun doing them, here are some of them. The Spidergirl one was a problem, I had done her feet bigger to use forshortening properly, but the client could not understand this and wanted the feet smaller so the women who it was for did not get upset that she had big feet!! go figure!?
