Happy holidays!

Happy holidays folks!

SWAT

Speed painting from a while back - Photoshop

Batman

Retro Batman - ZBrush sketch

Long claws

Following, the dinosaur theme of my last sculpt entitled Long legs is another idea I was keen to explore  entitled Long claws - not a particularly original name folks!

Skinny legs

 

I have a Tyrannosaurus Rex model on my desk in work which I'd bought some time last year. So, with a couple of hours spare today it inspired me to sculpt 'Skinny legs'. ZBrush + Photoshop

Orc Warrior

Works been busy over at Big Picture Studio but I've finally found the time for a ZBrush speed sculpt - Good to be back in the land of Zeeee!

Supers / Identities

Once again it's all about Superhero's in the cinema folks. Retro Iron Man, Hulk & Fantastic Four identity concepts.

Roy Batty / Blade Runner

With the announcement that British director Sir Ridley Scott is to make a new instalment of his 1982 cult sci-fi Blade Runner, I decided to watch it last night for the first time in a while. Like a good bottle of wine Syd Mead’s production design just keeps getting better with age. Future (Perfect) an upcoming exhibition at BravinLee Programs in New York is showcasing the work of Concept designer Syd Mead. So, inspired by the film I decided to paint the leader of the replicants ‘Roy Batty’ played by Rutger Hauer – Great Sci-Fi stuff!

Toy Rocket Ship

Made by my wife for our son Dylan.

Watermark Monster

I stumbled across this unusual image today, It's a photo of a watermark I took it some time ago that reminded me of a dragon - will design a creature based on this one day.

Monster warm up

This week I'm mostly be designing monsters... GRRRRRR!!! Here's a warm up monster to get me in the mood.

Speed painting

Book cover design

I hadn't painted anything from scratch for a while and quite liked the idea of using the Chalk brush in Photoshop. This is what I came up with.

Apple folk

Had to pick up a Magsafe Power Adapter from the good folk at Apple this week, they don't come cheap!

In-cinema advertising

Every wondered who designs the oversized pop up displays in cinema foyers? Here's one I recently worked on for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. To see the complete film advertising campaign for Ghost Rider visit: www.bigpicturestudio.co.uk

Noodling & Doodling

Waiting for feedback this morning on a new film advertising campaign I'm currently working on called Nativity 2! left me time to doodle up a Cosmic Slug!

Horned beasty

I designed this creature a few weeks back but didn't have the time to add the finishing touches in Photoshop.

Big Greeny

It's been ages since I've been able to doodle a design or even write a new post for my blog since Big Picture Studio has been up and running. To dip my toe back in the water I decided to sculpt the head of a kick-ass big green lizard - It's good to be back!

Retro Jet

More lunchtime doodles.

Retro Rocketship

Had a few hours spare in the studio this week so decided to illustrate a retro Rocketship in spired by the 1930s science fiction TV series Flash Gordon, complete with low tech FX.
