Tank Girl fan art.

This week I decided to enter the OzComics weekly Facebook challenge. I've been a silent observer for a couple of months now and have entertained the thought of jumping in, but it wasn't until they announced this topic that I could no longer resist temptation. Jamie Hewlett is a hero of mine and the fact that Tank Girl is just beyond awesome goes without saying. I've tried my best to do her justice here. I am not a very strong line artist, I feel like I work a lot better in a painterly style so this was a challenge for me. I obviously still have a lot to learn and since I was working entirely digitally I think my linework was somewhat restricted. It is missing those lovely blobs and shapes that happen naturally when done with real ink, and it's also, let's face it, just pretty messy and incoherent! I also chose to use a fairly restricted colour palette which I feel is working OK.. Overall this was a lot of fun and is quite different to my usual stuff. And now I had better get back to all the work and homework that I SHOULD have been doing these past two days....

The Lil' Mechanic

Just spent a few minutes doing these (obviously) VERY rough sketches of a little steampunk mechanic, just to satisfy my 'creative needs'.... She's a character that I have had in my head for a while now.. I'd love to use her as a little project, eventually create a nice sculpt in ZBrush and even some finished renders! I can dream, can't I? I am TERRIBLE at seeing things like this to fruition though, so I am thinking about setting up a blog devoted solely to this little project.. Maybe having people watching my progress will help me to find the motivation I need to actually see something through for myself. Feedback would be ace! Which one do you guys like the most?

Quick sketch before bed..

Just messing around with perspective.

Grumpy.

Happy holidays, everybody! XD

Quick zombie..

Zombies seem to have been following me around this month! They have appeared as the theme for several forums and competitions, and I have been watching The Walking Dead and playing Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare (briefly... it's damn scary...). Anyway, with all these zombies around, I feel like I am the only artist I know who hasn't at least sketched one yet! Had some free time tonight for the first time in a while, so here 'tis.


P.S. I realise this is an unnaturally sassy looking zombie... it started as a sketch of a healthy human girl before I decided to zombify her. May do another one soon with the regulation vacant zombie expression that we all know so well...
