Quick painting test, unconscious meeting.



A quick half and hour piece to understand a few flaws with the concept i made the other day. This was produced to understand how glow effects, particles and painted textures would look when strewed together. Although the contrasting colours need more work and its still very underdeveloped. It tells me that both the characters need to have different facial structures, more lifelike and believable proportions and needs to establish more of the fact conscious is floating instead of creepily looking at Lilith.

The hair fibres work, but need to be much more finer and the facial structures are too imagined. Ill will need to find some references next time I paint faces. The particle glow around the crystal works to highlight a more focused appeal. Im quite pleased with the crystal as it attracts a good amount of reflection and attraction to the situation.


Its an idea saved for another day. But the lessons learnt today have already influenced another painting I am producing. And its going to be a good one. Until then, i might undertake some t-shirt designs involving wolves with swords… who knows.

Lilith's Back, Everybody!!! oh, and some other small sketchbook work...

An unfinished section of a painting, titled, 'The Throne of Crows.' My main focus is trying to get a real sense of depth in this picture. And somehow fill it with threatening crows and a possible throne. 
Early design's of conscience and Lilith before i made them into what they are now.

Two design choices almost a year apart from one another. Its evident Lilith's design and even art-style changes whenever I produce a new drawing. At this stage, I'm coming up with a style that could one day be easy enough to animate but also have something thats stylistically pleasing to watch.


Small thumbnail idea for Lilith and conscious meeting. Punningly titled 'an unconscious meeting.' 


Painting Potential, maybe? 

I think Florence is evil, And somewhat incompitient.
Very long running joke. Jose is an accidental Anglo Saxon. Thats all you need to know.

Self explanatory, i want to do some clay modelling of Lilith sometime over the summer.

Ive actually competed a final design for this, but I'm considering placing the design on a shirt first before I put a digital watermarked copy online. (Its that valuable that I want to watermark it, MY GOD!!)

Wunderstamp Collection.



I completed the final design's, to be bought as a set from any outsiders wanting to use the postal service.
The Layout design was inspired by a tree shape. When torn off as separate stamps, they become reminiscent of directional arrows; appropriate for any postal service.

-These final designs were submitted for a project at University. I had to portray a new declared country along with a figure head of power, to invent the perception that these stamps were real.

A full backstory can be read below.

Wunderkat and His Brother just can't get along.

Old wonder residence is filled with bears. They preserve trees that New wonder uses for their gain. The wise king of Old Wonder decreed that, old wonder should be run by Wunder's Brother in his absense.  He holds as much disagreement as the bears, and fights among them in the ranks, but some of the bears are despised by this decision. Why should the old kingdom be run by the brother of the enemy? 
New Wunder… Fittingly changed in the name of the King.  Their populace is filled with Wunderjacks. Humans who, cut down trees, to make Wunder happy. He absolutely despises bears, as much as their forests. Although his purposes are still unknown, all that I can say about him is; he's a ruthless dictator. Menacing, coy and unsettlingly calm. People say that when he opens his eyes, you see him for what he truly is, but by then, you are already dead.




Very short animation idea. Involves an egg and a flower. Probably only I understand.

Shine on, you crazy diamond.




I developed an old picture I did three months ago.
After viewing some of Ken Wong's artwork, i saw how he had upgraded one of his old concepts and made it a lot better with the skills he'd gained since producing his first concept two years ago.

I look at mine and thought id do the same

Three weeks ago, A team of us made zines for a Illustration module at university. Afterwards, the whole class held an event, where we exchanged each others zines as a fun alternative to forgetting about the project an moving on to the next.

The Process it took to make a zine. I only produced two individual pieces but i compiled most of the typography for my team.


HO HA!!! laughter is the best medicine.
I primarily focused on paper cutting for the lettering of each illustration produced.


One of my ones shown, in book format.
