More Cthulhu!

Ullo!
More on my Cthulhu entry at CGHub! I went with the idea of a guy fishing, ooh he catches something and uh oh, it's Cthulhu ;D I need some opinions on the colour versions, whether I should keep the outline there or not...








So which version?
And here's the original idea I was gonna go with, - plain ol Cthulhu popping outta the ground, destroying a city, blah. Wanted it to be a little different.


Bai for now!

Cthulhu fhtagn

Ullo!
Am thinking of participating in the latest CGHub drawing jam, based on my fave elder god, Cthulhu! So I drew up some rough sketches here:




Deciding on which to go with, and then what to do with it ;D
Have a good weekend all!

The Hunter of Humans

Ullo! First off, the website is finally up and running!! Visit it here: www.artcastles.com

It's shared with my twin sister, Asti :) Next, some free time designs! The alligator who likes hunting in his fave swamp (I'm thinking he hunts humans...)



And the rough (which I often prefer!)

Tshcussy!

Mech Wolverine!

Ullo!
Back from the MADE event in Germany - had an excellent time, met lots of cool people, and learn a billion tips. Had some spare time recently, so quickly threw together a Wolverine mech ;D




Lotsa fun! Here's another Crysis 2 trailer - can see one of my scenes near the end, of the Met Life building collapsing!

New website coming!!

Ullo!
Quick post to say I will have a personal website up online next week, at looooong last! :) Will come online when I get back from Berlin.

Tschussy!

EDIT:
Ok I couldn't update without a drawing!! So here is a creature family (the one on the right comes from a drawing from earlier this year).

Backgrounds

Ullo all!
Just a little teaser for a side project I'm working on, some backgrounds plus the roughs (there will usually be a figure in them).



Am off to MADE in Berlin this week, very exciting :D Plus Berlin's a great city (...and they have Dunkin Donuts!).
Bai!

Halo-ish animatic

Ullo!
My promised animatic! Bit of Halo going on here, fun to draw that style armour :) Just felt the need for some animatic action, free time (music from Halo 3).



Off to see The Prodigy tonight, they're here in Frankfurt! Hahaha it'll be entertaining if nothing else :)
Have a good weekend all!

EDIT: Here's the board!

'Deceptive Elegance'

Ullo!
My entry for CGHub's latest Creature Planet challenge, 'Deceptive Elegance'. It's a lovey naked lady who entices guys; so hypnotised is he, he doesn't see what she's hiding behind/ON her back! I kinda wish I'd went for a more dramatic angle, but too late now. Here's the final and some thumbs.





Next up should be an animatic I'm working on! Oh oh, saw the ending of Lost....not sure what to make of it. But I do know I'd love to have some Lost marathons, watchng through it all again :D
Cheers!

The Cave of Eyes

The blog title speaks for itself ;D Lunchtime speedy worked on a tiny bit more after work.





I've started on God of War 3 now; it's pretty violent, ay? Great fun :) The in game camera seems to have a life of its own, its own cinematic flair, as it creeps up behind you, then zooms out to show you some cool sight. And arghhhh last ever Lost this Sunday!!! I used to joke I couldn't die before Lost finished - does that mean I can on Monday? :S
Cheers!

Forest walk 2

Ullo!
A forest walk. This began life from the extreme close up of a previous drawing, and I worked out the shapes from there :)



I just watched one of the saddest episodes of Lost ever! This show better have a good ending, or...orrr...we'll all feel like idiots ;) Ahh but it's been fun.
Bye!

CAT in mech

Ullo!
This here is dedicated to my 2 lovely cats ;) The ginger one was always much bigger than the white, but due to a recent growth spurt, he's now much bigger than her. So this is the ginger one regaining her dominance...with a mech!

Beserk Electricity Generating Centaur!

Ullo!
This here is my entry for the CG Hub Creature Planets 'Berserk Electricity Generating Centaur' (!) contest. Only had a day to do, as I didn't realise the deadline was so close. Was a great practice though, shall try and do more of them!
For the creature, I imagine that it actually gathers in electricity through its weapons as it prepares to attack. This poor little guy at the front really doesn't stand a chance ;)



Cheers!

Shark man!

Ullo!
Just a speed drawing, trying to draw characters faster (well, EVERYTHING faster!). This here is a shark man whow has discovered fire and can't stop laughing ;)



Bai!

The shortest animatic in the world!

Ullo!
Still working on my environments, must improve! More monsters soon, I promise :) So here I had the time, thought I'd make into a tiiiiiiiiiiny little animatic, just a pan really (with the vines on separate layers) seen after the pic. Will he go left or right??





And just another first person study, this time along the Main river here in Frankfurt :)



Playing Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on my DS; that game is HARD! Or am I bad? Either way, it's great :D
Seeya!

Monster and stuff

Ullo!
First image is a MoNsTeR!! It's drawing in energy, ready to explode. I should probably scan in the line drawing process of it...


Then a quickish little landscape. (A huge monster approaches, and the citizens of the town are fleeing!).


And during the weekend we went to the Dippemesse here in Frankfurt - a big funfair :) Here's me on one of the rides!


Cheers!
