OK, here's my finished piece for the...
“ California Screamin’ Downunder 2”
Art Competition and Exhibition
Sunday April 3rd to April 17thKustom Lane Gallery
8 Luton Lane, Hawthorn 3122

It has taken me about 2 weeks of solid work to get it to this stage. I had the idea early in the year. Painted using many layers of water color and inks for the linework. I'd done a number of preliminary sketches and color treatments prior to get it right.

Pretty Little Thing

Here's my latest watercolor and Ink painting/drawing. This one is of my wife.

Sphinx: Development

Someone asked me to put up the full transition of this one. So here it is.
Enjoy.

Dallas In Profile

This is my first finished piece using my new water colors. I realy like using them. It was done for a friends 30th Birthday. Happy Birthday Nic.

Birthday Invitation

This is a Birthday Party Invitation at a winery I did for my Mother In-Law. The drawing was done in my sketch book then scaned and colored in the computer. I'm quite happy with the final product.
























And heres a close up of the portrait.

The Fenrir

This is another character design I have done showing a transition from sketch to full color.

Sphinx: Char Design

This is a character design I have done for one of my projects I am working on. Thought I'd put together a transition of the stages for something a bit different.

Animation Test

Animation & Background Test from Mark Sheard
This is some animation tests I did for my short film I am developing at the moment. It felt good to do some traditional animation again, albeit drawing straight into the computer with an old wacom.

Flower of Rhode: Character Designs

Here are some of the character designs I have been working on for my next short film. It's only at the development stage at the moment though. So stay tuned for more as it comes.





























Here are a couple of expression tests I did. I always like to do these. It helps you get into the character more and flesh it out a bit more.

















...and another design of a pack mule of sorts. I have some animation test which I'll put up on my next post. Till then.

Board & Horney

These are some pieces I did for Blue Tile Lounge's "Rolling Through the 60's" skateboard art exhibition. It was my first time painting on a skateboard. And shoes for that matter.
