Scampenstein: be part of something Monstrous 30/12/14


Good evening all.

You might be wondering what this Scampenstein post is about. Well for once this is not my own personal project. 

Scampenstein is a potential graphic novel/ gothic animated film that Award winning filmmaker and screenwriter Brendan O,Neil  is currently getting funded on indie gogo. The plot is up on the campaign page.But apart from the promotional image above no visuals to show the film idea off. Thats where I come in, as the main character designer and graphic artist for the project. So far the campaign has been getting a lot of endorsement from british celebrities like Stephen Fry on Twitter. 



Scampenstein is planed to harken back to the old days of Dreamworks / Disney style 2D animation with a unique twist on the Frankenstin mythos.

Also just so you know this Dog monster idea will not be ripping off Tim Burtons Frankenweenie.

We are looking to expand in to the bigger more mainstream market with the film and comic.

If you can share this post and the indie campaign page around the internet and on animation blogs then that will help in the exposure of the project and bring more artists and creatives to join the team, when the feature goes in to production. theres also a facebook page 
Now with me being the only other person on board their project you can expect to see more concept art and promotional material for Scrampenstin.

I had a very relaxing Christmas and now i am feeling refreshed for the new year and what productivity it will bring 
over last two days i have been expanding and refining the world my own characters live in given places names and some concept art.  




The Sowing Valley 

A tranquil jungle haven that is made purely of fabric and stitches it holds together the entire world and is home to the oldest race known to civilisation called the sewing maidens.

Tune Sky Way 

The most musical and loudest highway that connects two of the biggest regions in the world The Playland Kingdom and Ramsusville.

Poiska 

A mutated twisted and grimly industrial city/harbour that defiles the laws of gravity and logic. Also they speak in a language linked to pollution.

 Last two months I have been doing a lot of flat colour character design commissions for a best friend of mine who nick names himself as Fezz. essentially I have helped him design characters for his War hammer and WOW guild, as well as characters for his personal stories and RPGs his in the process of writing. 

I have not done any character designs like this since my time in university three years ago (when i used to do a lot of character design)t  these flat coloured commissions have been a great excuse to improve on my drawings of human / fantasy characters.

and there seems to be more work to come with these characters in involved in actual scenes.

Blinkers: A Whole New World 8/12/14


  

Blinkers, It started as a quick idea sketch on Friday just to practise my manga style a little. 


Fast forward to yesterday and I spent my weekend expanding this idea in to a possible manga /comic for the future. though Lets First creak on with the Humanization.com comic before we even attempt this ^^;.


Gerne 

Comedy/drama/fantasy,Supernatural/ Slice of Life/ body swapping

To give you an idea of what influenced this concept heres a few samples:)

Ranma 1/2 
(where a guy becomes the opposite Gender when he is splashed by cold water) , Songs from Mike Pattons Band Mr Bungle, Mafia culture, Caribbean islands, Little Nemo and The artist Todd Schorr (look him up and your see why I adore his Art)  

Synopsis

Ross is your typical 12 year old boy who lives on a group of fictional Hawaii/ Caribbean islands/. He works hard at school and sends a lot of time outside due to his parents being corporate business people and not making enough time for their son. He also has a phobia to pretty much anything scary from clowns to monsters.

One day Ross is at his computer and blinks his eyes, suddenly he finds himself in a whole new world and body, a young women’s body.  After naturally freaking out He soon learns that This world is an alternate reality to his where he is a girl called Rosemary and that he is a Blinker.

Blinkers are essentially a special race of human beings with the ability to travel through space and time and inhabit the body of a parallel universe version of themselves just by blinking/closing their eyes and reverting back to their normal bodies the same way. They come in all shapes, sizes and not all of them are human. There are no warnings for Blinkers to know when their powers awaken, once there becomes a reason for the blinking to exist then it will appear to them even if the reason is not clear to the person.

In this world Rosemary’s home is over run by a crime mafia syndicate of clowns, freaks, and monsters all out for power and trying to become the dominant spices of the islands .Rosemary is part of a special spy group called CAP (Capture, Assassinate, and Persecute) intent on taking out the the big bad’s in the 3 families and restoring order to the chaotic world.

Ross now has to try and continue to live his daily life in his world while (Mentally preparing himself) when he Blinks in to the body of Rosemary to fight off the corruption and evil that plagues the changed islands. But being a kid inside a girls body can he cope with the sociable female life, the tough missions of CAP, face his fears of scary things. And even bear to live and work with chain smoking foulmouthed Cole his alleged best friend in this world?.

although Ross believes his the only Blinker in this reality he is not alone. The islands and cities are over run by Blinkers some who come from his home town. The difficulty here is the enemies he is trying to take down in this universe could be his closet acquaintances or friends back home and vice versa .How does he know who is who?, only time and a lot of blinking will tell. ;)

If i never do go further with this I certainly will add this element in to Humanization.com http://jowybean.deviantart.com/gallery/43419780/Humanise-com-Graphic-novel-project

Fair and Humanization.com project 3/12/14

I was at small christmas fair yesterday morning in Aston University run by BSEEN the program I joined last year to set up my freelance career. We did not sell a lot but I got to speak to a few possible commissioners plus me and my dad got to talk in detail about the future of Humanzation.com comic.




This wonderful girl brought one of my big prints based on the first splash page of Humanization.com and then tweeted about it which is awesome. 
Signs of the growth of my freelance business this year. :)


Also got another inked in page for Hunanization done last night

Its so nice for a change to be able to do some more good old traditional art for this project.

Hello this is going to something something a little more detailed in terms of the subject.

I have recently been going to this event every Monday night called Balti and Big Questions (that finished this week). It was an evening of discussions and debates about the existence of God next to the world and universe, While you get to eat really good indian food for free. It was very deep and interesting and has made me question a few things. I used my memories of going to church as a young kid to juxtapose visual metaphors as interpretations from each talk. They may not make a lot of sense from the outside but like every good piece of art you need to look deeper in to the visuals.  

Greed 


Gay in the Christian faith
