Honey I Shrunk the Kids: Backyard Camping out edition

I was working on a few things last weekend, and the Downsizing movie competition on Talenthouse got me thinking about what the world would be like if people were 5 inches taller. Well, if human nature has taught me anything, any invention that can't be weaponised is sexualised, so you can only imagine the 'giantess' category on Pornhub would likely grow considerably.

Yeah, anywho, I thought about how one's backyard would instantly become a Safari with a simple shift in perspective, and imagined a family interacting with nature on a whole new plain.

And a quick sketch and digital render later, came up with this:

 Check it out on Talenthouse!

Humongous marshmallows. Campfire by a matchstick. That guy with a guitar that only knows one chord. Death ladybug waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Good Stuff.

Sum up,
It's snowing today...

On the tip of my Insidious tongue...

Okay pretty sure you wanted to see the next poster I did for the Insidious / Talenthouse competition. Right? Sure you do.

Check it:

A remix of the previous still image renders I did, but this one meets qualifying criteria. Is she about to swallow it? Did she just bring it up? Was it under her tongue the whole time? Who knows. But being The Last Key, it is sure to be a keepsake you'd want to keep close to the chest. Let me know what you guys think? Comment section!

Evil Comes Home – "Insidious: The Last Key" Poster Art 2.5

Entered the Insidious: The Last Key via Talenthouse (as you know) so thought I would share another entry, although I doubt they will qualify as I used the reference images in the design. But thought I'd share 'em anyways.

I had a rethink and did another design using some of the elements I created from scratch here; I'll share that another time.

Thought it at least deserve a post.

The contest is currently in deliberation, so hopefully by the 15th will hear whether any got through to the final stages!

Sum up,

Fingers crossed and crucified. Listening to Bane's Theme music from The Dark Knight Rises. 

"Insidious: The Last Key" Concept Poster 2

Remember that Insidious concept poster art I shared with you lovely people? Of course you do. That was the first of few.

The second I'm about to share was the first one I attempted. Saw the Texas Chainsaw Massacre poster and how simple and text orientated it was. Not saying I succeeded with this one but I found the idea of the white space appealing for some reason.

Apparition be like "I got the keys, the keys, the keys". Check out the poster on Talenthouse: https://www.talenthouse.com/i/1366/submission/279557/c3bd5d99

Sum up,

Gear up.

"Insidious: The Last Key" invites evil home. And I made a poster for the event

It's been a while superfriends. And it seems I have fallen back into some old habits. Nothing overly nefarious like experimental military-grade narcotics. Nope. Talking about entering a design competition on Talenthouse – https://www.talenthouse.com/i/create-artwork-inspired-by-insidious-the-last-key?ref=Fb

So I created a bunch of posters to promote the coming Insidious: The Last Key movie coming out in January 2018. And I thought I'd might as well share what I did over the next couple of days.

First up! Check out this simple graphic poster I designed:

Evil truly comes home. One of my initial ideas, I aimed for something simple to give the impression of a sinister element creeping in. And what's worse than untidy, matted hair. Apparitions with untidy, matted hair.

Check out the trailer. Not a horror fan though. Nothing against the genre. Just a bit of a p**y.

Sum Up,

More to follow, and it gets better...

My least favourite game, but I'm good at it – waiting

Finally finished that painting I've been working on. I'll need to kinda take a picture or two too, but eventually I'll get to it. Thinking of starting a second, so looking about how to stretch my own canvas. See how that goes. Gonna need to buy more shit, apparently

But now, what's on the agenda? Waiting. For a lot of stuff. Work. Suit And Bone VFX. COD WWII to download an update file. Lot of waiting. But writing my first feature script and doing my comic helps to kill the time I guess.

Will share some stuff I'm working on next week.

Sum up
RTJ concert in like a few days!

Bringing out and Cleaning the ol' painting skills like a rusty .22

It's been a while since I even laid eyes on a piece of canvas. So you can only imagine how awkward it was to start painting again. But nonetheless, I am at this very moment buying acrylics.

Started by setting up some tonal background before sketching my subject:

And I know my art teacher said to avoid using black in paintings but I guess I'll be breaking rules in this here shopping list when I buy 500ml worth of the stuff. Blacker the berry, baby...

Will update more when I get through to it, hombres!

Sum up,

It's been a long week. Has anyone seen Terminator 2 in 3D? Greatest Sci-Fi ever! Plus anyone have any tips of painting with acrylic do let me know.

It's been a busy few weeks storyboarding a few projects for a few people/production houses.

Thought I'd share an unused frame from one of 'em

Check it out, soccer fans!

I think it's a satellite still orbiting earth hailing from that penalty shot David Beckham took at Euro all those years ago.

Thanks to Mr. White for the opportunity!

Sum up,

Design + Boarding. Next week is self.

#TAPNews straight to the vein

Good stuff.

PIMA + the Process of Progress

Tomorrow's a new day. Yeah well, haven't been myself. Partly due to the god awful news in Manchester and the cretins that will be sure to benefit from the tragedy by using it to spout their disrespectful respective bullshit. So trying my best to techno-detox at the moment.

So tomorrow sees me starting some new storyboard work for a particular YouTube channel. Should be good. Spent the last week, however, doing design for thepima.org. Talking elements for the website, business cards, newsletter templates, information packs... all o' that.

Check out the site; things still in progress, but your proof I've been stuck in. And of course, some stuff in regards to TheActionPixel.com... we started a bit of a news segment videos #TAPNews. Check them out on Facebook www.fb.com/TheActionPixel + via YouTube www.youtube.com/theactionpixel.

Sum up,

Minxing things up

Forgot to drop this one. Recently did some design work for artiste Minx. Known here for a while now and she's doing big things touring and all the shebang and she needed some stickers designed to further promote her brand.

Did a preliminary sketch based on what she was after and moved from there:

From there, it was a few tweaks:

And voila! End result:

Turned out well, me thinks. Be sure to check out the lovely lady and her music. Has a song with the Mr. MFN Exquire. Nice.

Sum up,

More design for TAP this week. Will share. Promise 🖖.

Here's my card...

It's about that time once again. Well, once every what, 9 - 10 years. Never been the one to do a massive amount of business cards. As it turns out, most of my work comes from word of mouth. But sometimes you got to X-Men Gambit-it up with some pristine business cards.

Got these printed at printed.com, which was Goodprint back in the day, and they never fail to get the job done right. One card misprint, but otherwise quality is great.

Designed this recently with all my social media and new portfolio website. At the moment still adding stuff to the websites re: storyboard works but all in all been busy working on a few stuff for People In Motion – a charity that's doing massive things at the moment in the field of athletics, movement and sports. Hold tight for that. 

But for now, I am currently trying to get some ideas down for new T-Shirts for TheActionPixel.com + TheActionPixel.store, as I may have found a new supplier that I can actually depend on. Because god knows after the month I've had, I need people in my circle to be held to some goddamn accountability for their ghastly shortcomings. And that's putting it kindly.

Sum up,

Hem Tag, I'm it.

Guess who's back...

Hey, dudes and dudettes! Thought it best to dust off the ol' blog, let the people of the interweb know what the Due's been up to. at the moment, well... Not a whole lot. Well from the usual corporate, looking for follow-up projects, tying up loose end personal projects. Whoa is the life of the freelance.

starting circa tomorrow will be posting more, including so stuff I'm currently working on for a sports charity, plus what's happening with The Action Pixel brand - especially the blog and the store✌🏿️!

Til next time.

Sum up,

Back on my regimen
