Concept Art for a Feature

Thought it wouldn't hurt to show some of the concept art I recently did for a feature I've been brought on to. Will be storyboarding it as well. Pin my medal of valour high on my chest. Let's go to war. IED placed under a narrow dirt road....wait for it....then KABOOM!

Layers on layers, colour, tone, light, multiply, add, linear light. 9 images in the space of 4 days. All in all good stuff.

Spent too much time looking for pictures of methlabs. I'm probably on a law enforcement database somewhere.

Sum up,

That's all folks

Doc Heads is going Live!

I'm back. Literally just finished 9 production drawings for a feature film in the works. Feeling great, as boards are to follow. More on that later. As you may have guessed, can't go into more details, oh, sometimes working in film makes you feel like a spy. Images though are top heavy, can't wait to really dig in.

Anywho, Doc Heads' presents presently got the go ahead, so expect some filmy doccy class on current. That aside you'll see some o' my GFX... having designed the logo donkey years ago helps as well. Lesson to the wise, always put out the best at that particular moment in time, whether you are working for fee or free. Look at the ad space for the program:



Starts September, 25th 9 pm. Sundays. Gotta love it. Good job Tristan.

Sum up,
Production drawings are awesome, Harbinger the ebook is Live on Amazon, iBooks, Reader and Nook. Good stuff, busy month ahead.

Bluntspear on Society6

Thought I'd see what it is about. Definitely more artist orientated, although I did find having to save as jpg a bit annoying. But you get over that quickly when you see some of the really cool artwork that is up there. Hopefully I can add to it. Check it out: www.society6.com/bluntspear

Sum up,
4 x 1 relay. Jamaica stand up. Too hot to stop.

Funnily, I have been secretly called on many occasions a Doc Head...

Been working on some GFX for a pilot of a documentary series. It's stemming from very humble beginnings: it's based on a documentary screening event held in Brick Lane called Doc Heads (every month or every other month I believe) by Tristan, Andy and a few slew of others. Great hosts, and seems that a possible tv segment is in the cards, having got quite a healthy following from the event. Proud of em. The bulk of the gfx work is done. The show will be called Doc Head Presents, promises to be filled with all that indie goodness. Mmm, advancement with a hint of defiance. Working around the concept of the 'Guerilla Filmaker'- anti-everything. Just so long as we aren't confined by the ethnocentric sensibilities of 'elite' film snobbery. Sorry its hunting for that story, whatever the issue. Never mind a budget. Anywho, first render of the ident:

What is more anti-establishment and artistic than graffiti? Brought it up in AE, made it look like it was sprayed on. Hopefully the pitch goes through smoothly.

Sum up,
Deliver.

A2 Revolution poster for sale (profits go to DEC)

So Harbinger is going through the whole ePub process. Bit annoying now. In anticipation of its release, I've started an ad campaign here and in the US via Facebook. You may have seen them...or not but click on em if you do, or if don't want to play the waiting/chance game then go to the sidebar and 'LIKE' the Harbinger FB page ----------->

So I have turned my attention to other things. May be designing a cover for a book soonish...sometime in September. Need to finish editting that video and get more area shots when I touchdown near Remi. Redman and coursework of course. New music video in talks at the moment.

Plus I am selling a few posters on here (revolution posters- see sidebar). It's £1.19 for one, 3 for £3. Postage is £3, and will be shipped in sturdy postal tube, recorded delivery. Sales will be donated to the DEC. So get crackin'. To donate just go to the side bar (again) and click BUY. Gotta have a paypal account, though.   -------------->

Ok, that's that for now. I'm needed in the batcave. Alfred, get me my eating shirt.

Sum up,
Draw your hurts in the sand. Carve your triumphs in stone.

When work trickles rather than pours on...

...is annoying but you know its a prelude of good things to come. Yesterday, I met up with my brother in arms Remi King to start the edit for the Stak video. Might need to get more area shots but the initial edit is on its way and its looking very promising. Also will be putting my hands into the motion graphics pot. The Red Man animation I have been working on has had me using tools I usually don't using in AE. Which is a good thing. Thats what happens when you are self taught. If you have found a way of doing something, your not quite eager to learn much else. But once the learning process is carried, usually through forced necessity, you remember exactly why you love what you do. It's weird I know. I think its the bad 3D nightmares of old that left me frustrated after hours of modelling, rendering and double vision.

Red Man is coming along. Slowly. Exported a few animated clips and about to put them on the timeline. See how it all looks. Here are some illustrations/framework I've done in the past week. I know I said I wouldn't post anything Red Man related until I got a bulk of it done, but I've been so diligent, I don't think posting one or two things will mess with my work feng shui. Simple ish:

Also been working on a logo for music group 'Heroine Highrise'. First logo, was ok, but too funky.

Second one's not done, still working on it. Need to get my ass in gear. As it stands:

Yeah, I know, get to work punk!
 'Til then super-friends...

Sum up,
Got an unexpected text. Now I am amped. Back on my Ronin ish!
Oo, yeah, Harbinger is coming!  Like the book on Facebook or drop a message on Twitter - Harbinger on Twitter
