'THE HELL HOUND' (LATEST PRIVATE COMMISSION)

FIRST ROUGH DRAFT PLANS FOR A COMMISSION I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON FOR SOME FRIENDS. THEY HAVE 3 CUTE LITTLE DOGS THAT THEY WANTED PAINTING AND THE BRIEF WAS TOTALLY OPEN... BUT THEY ARE PUNK AF SO I KNEW THEY'D BE UP FOR SOMETHING COOL! HENCE THE '3-HEADED HELL HOUND' CONCEPT. THE IDEA IS FOR THE FINAL PIECE TO RESEMBLE AN AUTHENTIC FORGOTTEN, VINTAGE HORROR POSTER. I LOVE GETTING BRIEFS LIKE THIS, WHICH BASICALLY INCORPORATES LOTS OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS (HORROR, MONSTERS, KITSCH, DOGS, VINTAGE POSTERS ETC), SO REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING STARTED ON IT THIS WEEK. I'LL POST THE FINAL PIECE WHEN IT'S DONE.

RECENT CONCEPT ART

 

I'M TRYING TO GET INTO THE HABIT OF PLANNING WORK BEFORE JUST LAUNCHING STRAIGHT IN TO THE FINAL FINISHED PIECE... SO THIS IS A ROUGH FOR SOME  CONCEPT ART I'LL BE PRODUCING FOR AN UPCOMING INDEPENDENT FILM ABOUT PLAGUE DOCTORS. THE COMBINATION OF THE FILM'S DARK, ATMOSPHERIC FEEL AND THE ICONIC PLAGUE DOCTOR COSTUME HAVE ME PRETTY EXCITED TO GET STARTED ON THIS BUT I ALSO QUITE LIKE THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS INITIAL ROUGH IMAGE, ROUGHS AND PLANNING ARE DEFINITELY THE WAY FORWARD!

STORYBOARDS

HERE ARE A COUPLE OF ROUGH 'BOARDS FROM A SET I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR AN INDEPENDENT SHORT THAT'S GOING INTO PRODUCTION SOON - AGED HANDS ARE ALWAYS INTERESTING TO DRAW SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO FINISHING THESE OFF. MY GOAL FOR THE SUMMER IS TO DEVELOP AND ADD TO MY STORYBOARDING PORTFOLIO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH A VIEW TO GETTING REGULAR WORK - I REALLY ENJOY IT AND ALSO FEEL THAT IT SOMEHOW JUSTIFIES MY LIFELONG, OBSESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF FILMS! HAHA
