E4 Sting

I thought I would enter an idea in for the E4 sting competition this year.

The one idea I had, which I didn't end up using was based on the dating app 'Tinder'. Instead of seeing people though, I had animal characters pop up. The hand would keep swiping left (Which is No) until it reached E4.

Here's the characters for the app.

 A llama

 A pugg

and a sloth.

The idea I eventually went with was based on the Zoetrope. I had this quick idea of making it really old school, a bit like a silent film. And as the animation quickens up, the colour comes back to make it a little bit more modern.

First of all I animated the E4 icon doing a simple jump using Adobe flash. Using the 12 steps I then laid them out on the circle that I used to be my Zoetrope.

I made a little box then so you can only see one E4.

I used Adobe After Effects to do the animation, and this is what it looks like.

It's been a while

Hello pawb! I haven't posted anything for a while because I have been working!!! Got a job at the end of March working in Landooon as a background artist on the Mr Bean cartoon series. Really enjoying it, great experience working on a series and also living in London.

I have been keeping up drawing, but normally their just little doodles in work or watching TV.

Haven't got much to show you so here is a quick doodle of Seth Rogen using pen and pencil,

own stuff

Currently working on a background to keep me busy, as I have no work on the go at the moment. My brother has been talking about the new Assassins Creed, and I liked the look of the background of tropic island, etc. So giving it a go.

Hey, sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. I've been doing a bit of freelance work which I can't really show but here's a few backgrounds for illustrations I'm working on. Hope you like

This is for underwater scene. I used a gradient layer and then added watercolour textures for the effect.

Here's an arctic scene. Really like the colour palette for this scene, keeping to greens and blues
