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,

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.

Minx, Ant-Man and The Wasp, and Honey + Lemon

Have you guys seen the Ant-Man And The Wasp trailer! Absolutely banging! But how the do Paul Rudd like that? Can you imagine him with wings? Nah, me neither. Not exactly the most graceful. If you haven't seen it you should check it out: https://www.theactionpixel.com/comics/marvel-studios-ant-man-and-the-wasp-official-trailer/

But thought I'd share a late quick design I did for @Minx4Music

Good stuff.

Sum up,
Recovering from a flu-filled January. Okay universe, nice one bro. A few bees and lemon trees had to work overtime to produce what I consumed this month to soothe my symptoms. Wouldn't wish that on anybody. Bleh.

Is it Hentai if you still have your clothes on?

It's been a shitty few days. Nothing that can't be overcome I guess. Just a lot of hemorrhaging and misdirection and dealing with quitters. But on the plus side, I made this sketch. Well, making. Tentacle porn.  Nah, although tentacles are present. Think I'll make it part of the TAP t-shirt design. Will update when I've added some lines and colour.

Inspired mainly by the fantasy artwork you find gracing the cover of Conan back in the day. Oh, and did you guys know Conan is back at Marvel come next year?! Pretty awesome news. But we digress.

Who know repetitively drawing those suction cups would be so tasking. But that's where I am at currently. And if my ass would stop getting distracted I'd have probably finished already. But I am currently battling the YouTube wormhole and dealing with adult disappointment. Whoa is me. Nah, I'm alright. Thanks for asking.

Til then...

Sum up,
No Vaseline
