Now for Something Completely Different 4/2/15

For the last few days i have had the inspiration to create traditional illustrations that reflect the juxtaposing of two different countries to crate one massive metropolis.

In this case its  the UK and Japan.

I used some obvious tropes to represent both nations examples being the old pub for the UK and the narrow streets for Japan.

Humanization.com project 28/1/15 update

Continuing the inking of the pages for Humanisation.com project gallery: http://jowybean.deviantart.com/gallery/43419780/Humanise-com-Graphic-novel-project
story Synopsis

1000 years ago earth is wiped out by war of neutral bombs. At this time the Internet, as we know it was been updated and had began to think independently. Now 1000 years later the Internet has transformed in to a virtual reality where severs websites and programs of all kinds have become living breathing beings connecting together to from a thriving metropolis. Our two main protagonists CADRA the normal farm girl working in the code fields and Mutt her pet dragon suddenly embark on an epic quest to find the code that could bring down the controlling powers of the big bosses Google Apple and many others but what is this mysterious code you say? :P
This project is a collaboration between me and my father who is writing the script for the whole series. We are planing to have issue one printed around March time. =D

Don't worry this is not being lazy with inking its supposed to become more faded as you go down the page.

I have recently been inspired to try and do more digital painting practising my semi realistic render of animated looking figures. 

when it comes to generic Manga first thing that comes to most minds I imagine is the long haired high Japanese school girl. Its one of the most overdone tropes. But because of the simplicity of the subjects character design (minus the eyes) it works well for experimenting with values.  

Here is the WIP of the attempt 

This was the original I started with but due to so many obvious mistakes and a great deal of derpness in the face I scraped it and started again. 

I like to add random characters in the backdrop for a bit of extra life.

Now for Something Completely Different 14/1/15

Architecture and city environments have always been a big inspiration and fascination in my art since I was 10 years old. A lot of my early work that I became known for was to do with buildings and modern city planning. these types of illustrations usually ended up having a fantastical approach to their architectural designs some that mimic what we have today.

examples of old work below  

Despite how busy I am with commissions and other projects on my DA account I have found myself longing for the old days. I set aside time to have a go at drawing my fictional architecture/ landscapes,while putting in to practice everything I have leaned and improved on, from perceptive to line thickness. 

the difference is amazing but my loose style of sketching is still visible.
