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.

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.

Character sheet for 'Wind Spirit child'

Looks cool doesn't it?

For the past year, I have been working on an 'indie fantasy role playing game' with some friends from South Bank University and Wimbeldon College of Arts. I am in charge of character design so I made a test for a character using Photoshop so that another guy in our group can model it in 3ds max! This was my first time filling in my drawing with digital colour. I think next time I will try Illustrator (less pixelation). Other than that I think she looks beaut! 

The character is a child of the Wind Spirit. She can fly and manipulate the wind (totes fantasy derivative). In this alternate world, it is common to have 'children of the...' Wind Spirit, Fire Spirit, Earth Spirit...etc. It just means they possess the attributes of that spirit. And they get to wear a funky outfit!

To paint/colour in digitally is just like physical colouring in and drawing. For me, the more I work at it and practice, the more control I have over the stylus. Painting by hand would have been way quicker for me and I would physically have an original artwork but don't they say it's all about trying out new things?

Ideabook

I've started this new thing called an 'ideabook' where in this book I draw out ideas and sketches from my imagination. I already do a lot of drawing from observation so I need to balance the two. Plus, I want to work on my ideas and to strengthen them by practicing and training my mind to conjure up thoughts and ideas - hence: 'ideabook'.

So far there are mostly sketches of a new manga series idea of Wizard apprentices...

manga series

A manga series  I am working on. I hope to get the first few chapters down and printed this summer ^_^

These girls are in their battle outfits! Think X-men Evolution meets Tokyo Mew Mew.

I have been working on a story/manga/comic for some years now I am slowly bringing the characters and story to life. 

I love drawing these types of wings!
