Shitter for Twitter

Well it had to happen sooner or later, I now exist on Twitter. Mainly to help Promote my band and the one I manage. So if you like Jazz covers of Hip-Hop bands or Jazz/Fusion feel free to check us out and enjoy the fact that I'll never update it.

Quint






First three pages of a Supernatual/Noir I'm collaborating on, I'm doing the art.

I've drawn inspiration from Victorian England, German Expressionism and punk visual art in an attempt to create a world with a Film Noir feel without being to exclusive about it. Made using paper, ink, scrap materials, photocopier and a typewriter for the text. These three pages are all I'll upload until the entire projects done. It's coming along nicely, everythings thumbnailed. But doing it a page at a time is becoming a bit impractical as I have to delve into town for a photocopier and scanner.

Props to my friend Hobson for being my gun consultant on the project.

If you like what you see please don't hesitate to feverishly tell your friends it's the best thing you have ever seen, you can enjoy their confused disappointment.

There's concept art to my character hanging around here: http://smudgedredd.deviantart.com/

Epic Redesign: Beatrix from FF9


'Ere ya go!'

Redesign of Beatrix from Final Fantasy 9. Reckon I'll draw her again with the hood up eventually. I aimed to give her some elements of the traditional Paladin look crossed with a Spaghetti Western style Musketeer, if such a thing even exists.

I drew her mirrored in pencils then traced her, painted over the trace with watercolours, traced the original again then placed that over the paint, then I inked that with pens and markers and rubbed away the pencils. Then I scanned it into a computer box and had to jigsaw her back together.

Oh if you care I live here too:

Optimus Prime gets a new theme tune.



Was amusing my younger sister by singing old theme tunes messed up. Think this is awful? Wait till you here Fireman Sam sung over the Spider-Man theme song.

Words to the pictures:

Autobots, Deceptacons

Optimus Prime x2
I'm a robot in Disguise
Optimus Prime x2
Megatron is not my friend

Deceptacons are out of luck
Got an Ion Blaster when i'm not a truck
But my trailer where does it go
When I transform? nobody knows!

Optimus Prime x2
Have a Matrix in my Chest
Optimus Prime x2
and Peter Cullen does my voice

Grain



Grain introduces us to a young male who's life has reached the pinnacle of patience. His job is monotonous and dull, his love life is strained at best, everywhere he his surrounded by people who are quite literally in his way. Armed with nothing but a hammer he plots a way to truly escape.
