Small Individual Projects

Since I've finished university and my book, I'm searching for jobs now and here's some other paintings I've done to make sure I don't lose my touch.

This is The Twits written Roald Dahl, my take from the eyeball prank scene.
People I used for reference were Katie Champion and Mark Lee, Katie is an animtor and Mark is a technical illustrator.

This is from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and is my version of the second spirit, which is the Ghost of Christmas Present along with the two children; Ignorance and Want, that appear beneath his robes. My friend and technician posed for the ghost and my two friends Greg Hick and Jody Kmiotek were the children.

The Ugly Duckling crying because he has no friends and feels all alone and ugly. This is a clean up sketch, cross lined to show shading, and a quick mock up painting. I didn't really want a big detailed background at this point as I wanted to focus on the character.

Another painting but I wanted to see how it would look if I left the shading lines in.

Here is the final character painting of the duckling, I might go back and add a little more background, as in a few tufts of grass and mud and stones with a peek of sky so it won't look as bare.
