WIP stages of girl with monster plants in garden illustration

This illustration features a girl watering some 'monster' plants. It was completed during Summer 2018 and was painted digitally in 'Auto Sketchbook Pro'. The image above shows some stages in the creation of the 'dark art' illustration. In the first panel can be seen the rough drawing, done on an Android tablet using the prevoiusly mentioned program. The second panel now show some rough painting of the drawing. As the program works on layers the drawing is held 'above' the painted layer so I can use the drawing as a guide. This second stage is still done on the tablet, so the image is a small file in reality with limited definition, but fine for working out colours and tones. Once the second stage is completed and i an happy with the working out at that scale, the entire file is then exported to a W10 desktop computer, again running 'Auto Sketchbook Pro', and in which the file is then continued to be worked on. However the file is also greatly enlarged from the small it was, so that the finished illustration can be hightly deatiled for printing etc. The third panel shows the completed illustration, which can be seen in detail on this link.

Created during July 2018, this illustration features a boy standing on a hill top imagining himself as a pilot flying through the air and zooming upwards at fantastic speeds. He has a helmet and wings made out of cardboard. Behind him a large, powerful (but impossible) airplane suddenly roars past him, pulling up grass and flowers from the hill.

Cute Mistress with Whip and Roses WIP stages

Cute Mistress with Whip and Roses WIP stages

WIP Stages of 'Cute Mistress with Whip and Roses' illustration

This illustration was created during early January 2018. The centerpiece of this cartoon, erotic image is the portrayal of a classic mistress, with a long bullwhip. In the background are some wooden crosses with handcuffs attached, tools of her trade. The scene is finished off with beautiful, but painful if handled incorrectly, rose flowers, reflecting the mistress character.
The illustration is drawn and painted digitally using 'Auto Sketchbook Pro', using an android tablet for the drawing and basic colouring, as shown in the first 2 images. Later in the creation process the file was opened on a more powerful W10 computer, also running the same programe. To finish off the image was then placed into Photoshop to allow final touches to be made.
The final image can be seen here.

The panel above shows the original drawing, done in Photoshop and the final illustration, digitally painted in Photoshop, of this artwork called 'Cartoon Zombie Party'. It can be seen that some changes happened between the original concept and the final one, mainly bearing the setting with a tree and church originally featuring in the landscape. The drawing for the characters became tighter as the work continued, as part of the finished style of the art was to have a 'line' drawing included.
The illustration was done in September 2014, and can be seen here.

Above is a  comparison between a drawing (done digitally in photoshop) with the finished painting, also done digitally within photoshop. It can be seen that a series of lines, to indicate a base of prospective indications was planned form an early stage to aid in placement of the interior of the supermarket and animals to populate it.The artwork of 'Animal supermarket' was created in 2010.

drawing vs finished art 'Mummy Awakes'

This picture shows a comparison between a rough drawing compared to the finished, digital artwork. The actual illustration is called 'Mummy Awake' and was completed in 2009. The first panel shows the rough drawing completed as done for the painting. It is lacking in any details as can be seen. The finished 'mummy' illustration was done digitally by painting in Photoshop. Most of the details and colour choices in the image are decided 'on the fly', but what is consistent however is the position of all the elements based on the drawing, which remain fixed within the composition.

The artwork can be seen in detail here.

Cartoon Zombie Party

Cartoon Zombie Party

This digital image was done in September 2014 and illustrates a party being enjoyed by a number of cartoon zombies in a graveyard on Halloween. Originally the artwork was going to be drawn as 'vector' based drawn art with flat colours. In the end the whole thing was done in photoshop. The characters have a flattish, cartoony colouring to them but with some brushmarks. Unusually for me the background has not been painted but I have used photographs heavily treated for the trees, sky and grass. On top of the whole image 'grunge' effects have been placed to add some finishing sparkle.

I wanted the 'horror' to be as funny as possible to a general audience. The zombies have cartoony poses, worms coming out of them and eyeballs popping out. One zombie has had his head drop off while rising from the grave.

A collection of cartoon Dinosaurs are at a Dinosaur museum. But in this world the dinosaurs are fully alive and enjoying the exhibits. The main exhibits however are a group of fossils of human skeletons involved in a staged battle. To the right is a display case with some human artefacts.

Some of the Dinosaurs are on day trips out with families. A dating couple are taking photos of each other and another Dinosaur can be seen on the upper gallery having a sandwich. One visitor to the museum is having some help finding his way around by a dinosaur pointing out his position on a map.

Dinosaur Judge in UK Court of Law

Dinosaur Judge in UK Court of Law

Ever wondered why bankers, politicians burglars, rapists ,big companies, you name it, just seem to get away with it and have a slap on the wrist, whereas the victim is let down and more likely to be prosecuted. Well here’s the answer! This illustration of a UK court of law shows a typical judge. He is blind, covered in cobwebs and doesn’t know what century it is, and is basically a dinosaur. All he knows its that he has to wear some old pantomime outfit and funny wig. Typically in a court room setting will be those additional weasely, slippery characters who make a fortune stating the obvious.

This illustration, featuring the two dinosaurs in a UK law court was painted in photoshop to A4 size.

Romantic Valentine Skeletons in Graveyard

Romantic Valentine Skeletons in Graveyard

 

This illustration was painted in photoshop in Jan 2014. It shows two skeletons in love on st Valentines day night in a graveyard. The male skeleton is presenting his beloved with a bouquet of flowers, for which the female is extremely happy. The design of the skeletons are slightly cartoony to make them more appealing and easier to draw. The colours of the scene are quite muted, but the flowers less so. The diagonal of the males arm with the flowers thrusting in to the scene, is balanced out in the composition with the diagonal of the landscape with church in the opposite direction.

Tony Blair in Hell with Devil and holding Weapons of Mass Destruction document

 

This illustration, painted in photoshop, depicts Tony Blair, former UK Prime Minister in his future residence, Hell. The locations other main resident, the Devil, looks on happily as Mr Blair trots around, clutching his Government's 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' document, which as it now turns out was full of lies and resulted in many wasted deaths of British Service men on a war that had no foundation. The cave in Hell contains other inhabitants, hiding in the shadows and looking on, while the confused Mr Blair, clutching his melting crucifix and hoping he can hide behind his faith, realises he can't talk himself out of this one!

Children and Snowman playing together

Children and Snowman playing together

This illustration was created in the last days of 2013, and features a large snowman wearing a hat, carrot and scarf having fun in the snow with two happy children. I decided to give the children 'manga' features and have a slightly graphic look to the image by having a pattern of snowflakes and beams of light rather than a 'scene' as such, creating a bold and simple composition. The fan of light beams helps to focus on the subject matter.

The illustration is created in photshop to A3 size.

The girl, with her massive mop of hair and the cute, wide eyed cat are drawn with a black line around the outline and features. To make a nice contrast to the main characters, the background elements are drawn with no defining black line around them. The drawing is created in a 'manga' style, and output at A3 size.
