I saw Zooptopia / Zootropolis on monday , and it was honestly one of the best animated movies I have seen in a while =D, really interesting world, likeable characters and a host of  funny scenes. Certainly a film and world I would be interested in returning too in my art in the future.

I recommend you make time to watch it at some point.

I have finished  two of my fake  Disney/ 2d animation screenshots 

For my family as A special christmas present this year. 

Each scene I used actual locations from inside my house and experimented with a few filters and texture brushes to make the backdrops pop a little more. 

overall in the last two weeks each piece has taken 15 hours.

I have had a lot of commission and potential paid work come up since last week so updates to the blog may slow down because of this. But anyway here is a taster of something I am personally working on for my family this christmas. :) 

as a fan of old animation  I have always had the dream of recreating the real world in to 

slice of life Don Bluth/Disney inspired screen shots. :) 

heres two failed attempts from a few years back in 2008 I think. 

I am planning to give each member of my family their own personal screen shot As a sign of thanks for all the years they have put up with me and my work. 

its not going to be easy to pull off but its an ambition of mine I would like to make a reality before the end of year, maybe even make it a new form of caricaturing for 2016.

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.

Great News for Jowybean 19/1/14

Hello all a lot has happened this month alone.

Today as i post this will be my Last day of proper freedom for a while because i have got a brand new full time job. 

I had to leave my current job as a graphic designer at this small graphics and signage company because i found out about this great opportunity to work for a silverware company that have been looking to employ an illustrator/art worker to help them create presentations for clients and create illustrations for the range of objects they make. I went for a chat /interview last Monday and my enthusiastic response to their company and desire to get a real job rather then stay online doing my brony commissions. Helped convince them i was the best person for the role.

I had a nice send off from my old boss on Tuesday with chocolates and a mlp toy wishing me luck in this new job i am about to start tomorrow morning at 8-5. Much longer hours and less breaks then the other job but that’s a sacrifice i am happy to make. I can still attend my annual brony meetups on Friday night so i am not losing out on my social life either. 

Naturally i am little nervous about the job hoping it does not get boring or stressful. But from what i saw from Mondays visit its  going to be very engaging and creative, cannot wait.

Content may be sparse on the blog for a while i will try and make updating the blog a regular thing so the hiatus between posts is not huge.

you can check out my DA where i submit a lot more stuff

 Right now I will enjoy the freedom I have for the rest of today

Until next Post LATERS ;)
