Humanisation.Com project update13/11/14

Humaniztion.com

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?

The story is being written by my Dad and drawn by me. After a long hiatus we have finally decided to bring it back to life =D and get some actual pages done before the end of year.

This universe works in a similar way to Honnouji Academy from Kill LA Kill in that the lower you are the more deprived you are in society
the city is always constantly growing and expanding so theres no sense of gravity or logic.

The fields at the bottom are the code fields where poor framers plow up digital resources to give to the world for power. 

Only way in to the metropolis is on the information highway

Although my intention was not this i do get a bit of a Studio Ghibli vibe off the art. =D
Keep an eye out for more concept art and WIP pages of Humanisation.com :)

Some more Sever designs today.Its Facebook and Steam or lord Steam as I like to call him

Until Next Post LATERS :)

As a bit of anatomy practise i redesigned the main protagonists of the story CADRA to appear a lot more human then cartoon  

by doing this model sheet This will help me immensely in drawing her in the comic panels. Even after all my years of life drawing I still tend to go off model with my human characters. :doh:

Mutt is down there for a size comparison as He will be present with Cadra everywhere she goes.

fun fact: Mutt dresses as a cat for a sight gag each issue he will be in a different cat costume and everyone but Cadra will question it.

(Back from the delete bin) Humanisation.Com project 10/11/14

Humanise.com (or to save legal action from a website with a similar name) Humaniztion.com. is a graphic novel project  that my Dad is writing and I am drawing. After a long hiatus we have finally decided to bring it back to life =D and get some actual comic pages done before the end of  the year.

These are design ideas for the physical look of Twitter and Craigslist part of the (Severs) who will play a big role in the story.

Other initial sketches based on the other severs that represent a different website like Youtube, Tumblr, and Steam. Some of their design are more straight forward then others because some of the biggest websites are a lot more complex then they look and the designs are supposed to reflect that. 

Until next post LATERS :)

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 its an evening of discussions and debates about the existence of God next to the world and universes, While you get to eat really good indian food for free. So far its been very deep and interesting and has made me question few things. I used my memories of going to church as a young kid to juxtapose metaphors with visual interpretations from each talk.

Until next post LATERS :)

Maid Marian and Her Merry Men Portraits project 31/10/14

Ever since I discovered the amazing artist Todd Schorr and his blend of cartoons and pulp art. I have wanted to render characters in to a semi realistic render like he does in his paintings. a lot of well known properties and characters have had this concept executed by a lot of talented artists =). But i felt that lesser known or forgotten shows do not get this treatment. I intend to change this with the new body of work I present to you for this months illustration project.

Maid Marin and her Merry Men

For those of you who do not know Maid Marian was a BBC kids tv series written and staring the great Tony Robinson (from Black Adder). It even got produced in to a colourful comic book with the wonderful cartoon work of Paul Cemmick (He is now an artist for our national SFX magazine). The premise was that Marian was the fearless leader rebelling against an angry King John and Sheriff of Nottingham (who Tony Robinson played). While the (quote) hero Robin Hood and the other merry men were kind of useless and weak yet Marian would tolerate their incompetence. Robin was a coward and cared more about his fashion then fighting.

The aim of these illustrations was to take Cemmicks character designs from the comic and translate them in to a more semi realistic style that represented the characters personality. Due to time constraints this month (mostly to do with Poycon Uk) I was only able to get four of the main cast done but I made sure that each portrait was up to a high standard I also used different light sources to make each individual stand out and look visually more interesting.

Sadly its hard to find the comics nowadays  but the TV show you can find on Youtube. :)

Until next Post Laters ;)

Been a good week or so since i did any OC drawings :P

Max is a strawberry jellybean with an obsession for technology computers and gaming he usually can be found with a head set on yelling at his monitor. Holinder is the type of character who has an OCD for technology and hordes a lot of it even if its pretty much junk.. His also a prankster and very snarky. Like Jowy he too goes to Left Hand High and lives in the same apartment. :)

here we get a good concept idea of Max (Bean) Holinder's cluttered machine filled bedroom. Jowy does not approve.

You can check out what information I have on my characters here ;)

Until next Post Laters 

Jowy shenaggins 27/10/14 new month long illustration project almost done

Phew Coming to the end of another hard working month and my new Illustration project is almost done. 

Its not going to be as epic as my Middle East 2050 series but its still going to be done to a very high quality. 

It also would fit into the fan art category.

All will be relieved this Friday ;) 

Until next Post Laters
