Gallery Update
Human Image

The Future Perfect gallery has been updated with some concepts for another story set in its timeline as well as another for the first story. More to come and I’ll eventually split the gallery into sub-galleries based on which stories the images belong to. [Two examples below.]
Time to get working on competition pieces before the deadlines run out though! 
Freedom!

Well all the uni work is finally over with, except dissertation presentation but nevermind that. Had a rest for a few days, played some games and watched plenty of TV, the only thing left is a holiday… However that can wait until I find out whether I get into Dare to be Digital or not. Our team has an interview on the 10th, but we’re now one programmer down. Life just can’t be easy, can it?
I’ve also updated the Personas gallery with work I did during the last month, in between coursewok. Most of these are just practice pieces and trying out new styles and methods. Since I’m now free of uni work I expect there’ll be plenty of updates on the website and hopefully some actual work that’s good. Some previews of the work are here but visit the gallery for higher resolution versions.

Well been busy as usual, just a quick update on someting I don’t normally work on: vehicular design (It’s in the Future Perfect gallery). This is extra special as it’s part of my dissertation work. There’ll be a 3D model of it soon though, hopefully it’ll look good. Plenty of other stuff to do in the meantime!
The Cull

Well it’s been busy lately. My new PS3 arrived a short while back and I’ve been playing Killzone plenty. I still have a huge amount of games I haven’t even purchased yet let alone start playing and now the new ones like Deus Ex are nearly. There just isn’t enough time to do anything!
Aside from the usual uni work, which will be uploaded once finished, and an ongoing commission, I decided to review my folio and cull the fat. I removed some of the images of lesser quality but there’s still a couple there for the sake of symmetry. This has dramatically increased my urge to boost my skills and paint some more environmental scenes to a higher quality in order to replace some of the crap still there. I thought that there needs to be at least four new landscape pieces and the same number of new character pieces as well as four more mechanically orientated works which is something I’m actually doing for my dissertation!
Still looking around for jobs but with the renewed drive for artwork this has put on the backburner for a few weeks, though if anybody I’ve applied to thinks they like my work, feel free to tell me 
Back to work. Many updates to come in the following weeks!
YLOD + Work = Burnout

Well what an unlucky Chinese New Year for me, my PS3 decided to conk out on Wednesday just as I went to install Bayonetta so I spent the next few hours trying to get it working again. Luckily I managed to free the disc but I don’t think there’s any chance of recovering any save data though. For the most part it’s no big deal but there were a few saves which would have proved helpful for further play on some games like my New Game+ on Demon’s Souls. 
The positive (or negative lol) is that I now have one less distraction from work, at least until my order for a new white Slim arrives in a couple of weeks Coupled with the arrival of Killzone 3 I doubt I will get a lot of work done so working now is a good idea.
If there’s anybody out there who looks at this site more than once, they might notice I haven’t updated in a while so just to break up work I did a few pieces for relaxation, two in the Future Perfect gallery and one in Personas. The new persona is something of a departure for me since it has a slightly caracturised style whilst the two concepts in the Future Perfect gallery have helped me to practice painting at speed and not to worry about accuracy in detail too much.
Also, yesterday the first short story from the Future Perfect universe was sent to a publisher by Barnaby after we spent some time doing some final edits. It’ll be a while before we hear back from them but it’d be nice to have something published.

Just a quick update in the middle of all the work I’m supposed to be doing. Added a piece of concept art to the Future Perfect gallery. The scene is directly related the first story we have written, which is unfinished but we hope to get published at some point. More to come during the winter season!

Added a new competition link. I haven’t created a gallery for this work yet because I think doing so might nullify chances of winning so I’ve just created a link to the entry page. It’s in the Challenges and Competitions section but you can also click here to see the work.
The competition forced me to think quick and was good practice for that particular style, which I don’t use very often anymore as you can see from the rest of my website. I still have Dreamscape and Dominance War V to compete in yet, but it’s not likely I’ll make a start until January but look forward to it!

In anticipation of the two major upcoming and ongoing competitions (as mentioned in the last post) I’ve given the challenges section a quick overhaul so that it’s now arranged by date, the newest work listed first. I think this works better for the challenges but not for the rest of the work as those are all ongoing projects. Hopefully you’ll see some nice work added to that catergory in a month or so.

Well it’s been a while since I’ve updated the site but uni work has really taken over. I guess it’s good in a way as I should have several really big and impressive porfolio pieces by some time next Spring… which is too late in my opinion. So I took some time this weekend to do some painting of my own. You can have a better look at it in the Personas/Portfolio section. I just wanted to paint!!
I haven’t been able to even play many games lately but I guess it’s better I leave them alone while I do some work and search for a job for next year. Also, Dominance War V is looming …
EDIT: added a quick speedpaint into the Hong Kong Gangsters page too. Nothing special but just to keep the project alive.

Just an update post, added a portrait to the Future Perfect gallery and an image of its WIPs. I might start making an webcomic or manga soon I think. Just recently I’d been thinking about careers and wondered if becoming a manga artist might be good for me. The year will be absolutely jam packed with uni work but maybe I can churn out a couple of chapters here or there.
