PERSONAL CONCEPT WORK - 2005

WEHRMACHT MECHANISED GRENADIERS ENTER LONDON UNDERGROUND RUINS


This piece was a personal idea based on WW2 just continuing, and the allies being fought back after a German 'BOMB' was
perfected and used. I wanted it to look dusty and ruined as if they were arriving some years later to survey their handywork.
CHARACTER ELEVATION


Created for a competition, where the goal was to redesign a classic cartoon character. 14 days work.





This was a study in detail and weight and weathering.
I was thinking of construction vehicles and Running Man's 'LAST YEARS WINNERS' when I painted it.


'MOTHER GREEN'


This was a vehicle concept I was working on based on Vietnam photogrpahy and tilt-shift vtol vehicle concepts.
It's mostly built in Maya over roughly10 days and has minor post-tweaks in Photoshop. It remains W.I.P. 2005

SIDE ELEVATION OF A RACING FIGHTER.


I'd been thinking about how seaguls bank and swoop and wanted to draw a vehicle that
had two free articulated wings so it sould scoop air and turn in impossible arcs.
ARTIFICIAL CURIOSITY 

There's not really a narrative to this piece.
I just liked the idea of a big simple robot being fascinated by an innocent creature
doing something it didnt understand (eating). I was thinking about 'OF MICE AND MEN'

'VALKYRIE' THE EYE IN THE SKY

This piece was for a personal project (ongoing) where WW2 just keeps going like in
'THINGS TO COME' by H.G.WELLS. I thought of German P.O.W. women being
trained as long range snipers to stem the Red Wave because of dwindling manpower.
There would have been some dark blackmail type motivation employed to coerce them


GOLAN WATCHERS


I had this idea about a scorching hot dusty day somehwere in the middle east, with giant inert robots keeping the 'peace'.

VATICAN GUARD

This was speculative work for Clive Barker.
It was for JERICHO before it was signed and I had the idea of
making Vatican Guards into ceramic armoured spec-ops guys.

'VIVE LA FRANCE' - FRENCH AIR MARINE


Literally a flight of fancy, this clunky armoured French paratrooper was for a game idea I had
been looking at for a few years, again based on the idea of a war (WW1) simply continuning.

 B4Udie


I made this cover up over a day or so, it was just an idea based on playing with language and
typography. It was produced in 2004 and I liked the idea of robot guns sat on top of buildings
they'd claimbed up to get a better shot at airborn agressors. I was thinking of Appleseed then.

 BAND POSTER - 'THE RED WELL'


This was a quick poster I made up for a friends band. It used an oil paiting I had done years back for an art school project.
I still reall liked the colours, and I'm pretty certain I had the cover for the 'WATCHMEN' in the back of my mind. 2003
