Harry Hamachi


Here we have Harry Hamachi, AKA 'Hamza' who is looking all grumpy and un-amused. I really like the shadow that is cast under by the table. There is something about form and shadow that been interesting me a lot lately; I have noticed it a lot in things around me and as a reoccurring theme in my work. I do think shadows help make an image pop.

Take x Rona


I just realised I never posted the final illustration for my Sharona Moon and Takeichi Nishi characters, AKA 'Take x Rona'. First I sketch my characters like, ALL THE TIME, then when I get a good one I photograph it and then trace over it in Illustrator, adding colour and detail ^_^

Girls

Lately I have noticed my graphics tablet and Adobe Illustrator have been bonding quite a bit! This is a series of illustrations that is called 'Girls' and plays with form, shape and the female appearance.

Manga Novel Rough - riso test










Following on from my previous post, here I have a rough of the first page in my shojo manga series. I decided to test riso printing my manga drawing as I was trying to fix a riso printer anyway; playing around with colours and strange combination. 

Work in progress.

Summer Vacation riso print




Summer Vacation

Yep - I'm trying to find ways of executing my manga-deriving art that is a different to the hyper-digital-art aesthetic. This is done by being digitally riso printed. Like with most things, I just need to keep making more and see what happens!
