SCULPTURE AND MODEL WORK 2003-2004

GAME CHARACTER MAQUETTE

This was a character for a personal game concept.
A victorian 'cutting' from a haunted walled garden.
It stands at 8 inches tall including the base.

 BOAT MODEL

I'm still working on this, it takes a long time to hand cut 2400 rivets.
It's about 10 inches in height and is made from balso and styrene.
It's constructed in segments to be cast.

 3 DAY SPEED CHARACTER TEST

This guy is an unpainted quick sculpt to test a character idea.
I liked him so much I built his weapons and armour using
Steel, brass, resin, fuse wire, milliput putty and styrene.
He stands at 5 inches tall and is made mostly of air-clay.

The shoulder armour fret work was done using tiny titanium drill bits.
The shield boss spike and rivets are real steel cut from large head pins.

 MIXED MODELS FROM 2003

Some model work both personal and for clients such as 'I-DESIGN' and 'VIS ENTERTAINMENT'

2004 'SPYRO' SPECULATIVE PITCH (unsigned)

Back around 2004, or maybe even 2003 VIS ENTERTAINMENT were looking at a number of license options, and a fresh take on the 'SPYRO' franchise was one. These illustrations, and some others in his thread were all done over 4 rather hectic days. I remember I had a really bad man cold at the time.



This was done in an afternoon, I think it was mostly just translucent painting with 'wet edges' turned on.

'BRAVE' ONGOING COVER WORK DERIVED FROM MY ART. (Unacredited?)

I had no idea these titles had been produced but it was a happy surprise that my original pitched cover had been edited by somebody and finally got an airing, I was much happier with it than the montage variant. I loved painting those chipped flint spearheads!

Nice to see he's got a tougher lady friend now.
Like Venus Blue Jeans to Rogue Trooper.

My shield and feathers, but new lettering.

Don;t remember this variant but it's all my stuff.
I don't think I did this comp though.

This was the one I remember being the release cover.

Rear of the box. Does what it says on the tin.
