Character Design Page

Hello! Despite a sprained ankle and the terrible weather I can't help but feel chipper today. That's right, I use words like chipper! Anyway, while I'm in such a good mood I thought I'd share a really great website called "Character Design Page."

"Character Design Page" shines the spotlight on some of the best character design talent in the business. Not only the big names like Stephen Silver but one's who you may never have heard of, especially if like me you're an outsider looking into that particular market. For me it's a great resource, not only for the inspiration it gives me but also for the insightful process videos they share. If you're an illustrator then you should really take a look. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

LOUD NOISES!

Classic wrestlers project - Andre The Giant

Classic wrestler number 3! Andre the Giant.

You may have seen Andre in the classic movie "The Princess Bride" as Fezzik. If not why not. Stop what you're doing, get it and watch it!

PS. I got some great tips from Ctrl Paint for this doodle. Well worth a look.

Inigo Montoya

A quick Photoshop doodle of Inigo Montoya from the The Princess Bride. Ok, fine it looks more like Captain Hook but there are significant similarities between the two characters.

"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die". Class!

Conan

Procrastination of the day as it will be known for this day forth is Conan.

Sherlock Holmes

The first movie I watched this year was Sherlock Holmes, which despite all my negative expectations was a lot of fun. Not at all like a Guy Ritchie movie. Anyway, I wanted to practice my caricature's and my production techniques so I started work on this illustration. It's not finished and chances are it'll remain that way as I've got a lot on this month.
