2020. Enough.

January 2020. What a shitty start to the year. The coronavirus. Kobe. Brexit. Politics and the idiots sharing all the type of propaganda that would get a nod from Goebbels in his heyday. It's like, "okay, enough".

But alas, I'm here doing the freelance schtick, looking for work, waiting for work, then resurrecting and starting whole new projects.

Currently working on a piece that has me resurrecting the sakura pens. Technology is great but tactile is king. The feel of pen and paper should never be tossed to the side. Skills get really rusty when that happens. I've learned the hard way.

Currently WIP, but I'll share once done:

Sum up, Bloodshot to bloodclaat.

Pyramid Scheming

Had a bit of a storyboard gig for a rum brand and whilst, obviously, it's a work in progress, thought I'd share this unused frame.

Definitely want to visit Guatemala and the pyramids one day. Heard a lot of 'this is Sparta', Kano-heart-stealing ish went on with those high priests.

Anywho, check it, little sketchy scampy scamp:

The steps to my monastery are steep...

The World Ends In 5 Days

**UPDATE** The music is here. Check out below; #4 slaps:


New post! It's one of them things where you're posting non-stop on TheActionPixel.com it just takes up all the time. But you know that already, right.

But in any case here is some creative news that I can share.

Did some cover art for Scrulove next EP (nowadays we just call any compilation an album by all appearances; shows you how dated I am). It's called The World Ends In Five Days.

Check out the art:

Came up with the basic concept and spent a hectic Sunday, trying to take the perfect picture. An unforeseen issue with lighting (not my forte, for sure), but alas the images I needed were salvageable, more or less. Blended images and textures in Photoshop and the rest is history.

The album goes live in... like less than an hour so I'll add a Spotify link below for you to listen.

Sum up,
Lighting 101, smh. But we godder done. 💐👓

MMXIX: The Showreels

www.bluntspear.com

www.bluntspear.com

I have truly neglected this blog, haven't I? Well, to shoot myself some bail, TheActionPixel.com is a relentless, unforgiving beast. That and adulting. Boy, did my parents not warn me about adulting. But hey, now that we got the weak excuses out of the way, thought I'd share what I've been up to last. And well that was editing my showreel. Showreels, in fact.

I decided to go on a bit of a revamp workwise and needed to update my showreel, for storyboard and motion graphics. And it's a doozy. Compared to my 2009 showreel. Oh the difference a decade makes.

Check them out below:

Let me know what you think?! Sum up, Almost forgot the format for this blog. But hey, let's see how I get on with this thing.

Run them Infinity Jewels and get this hot data blast

This week was not as busy, but still managed to get a few projects off. More work tomorrow. Such is life. Plus conjuring up some designs for a product. It's pretty out there. Not really, but it could take you to proverbial space. Lol. More on that some other time. Check out a concept art idea I started for a client that didn't get used. I stopped halfway through, obviously. Change of direction. Check it out!
 
Anyone saw Infinity War yet? Not sure if I feel entirely inspired to write a TAP Review on TheActionPixel.com. But hey, one of those things you have to put work in even when you not in top shape.

Sum up,
Lightbender,

Johnnie Walker "Godfather" Storyboards

Hey people. Recent storyboards I did for a promo vid for Johnnie Walker. How to mix a Godfather drink 🍹. Real easy if you have like three hands. Also did other versions (Old Fashioned I believe). Via Hangar Seven.

Check out the end result. Pretty suave.

Sum up,

TAP. S&B. Nothing has changed except I'm finally back in that scriptwriting groove.
