Once Upon A Time In A Faraway Ireland...

Apologies for the late post this evening. I got on a roll with work and figured it foolish to break it considering the productive stagnation I seem to have adopted as of late. And thanks to a bum week, I've barely got further with Sushi work let alone anything new and fun for blog times.

So, bearing in mind that I've been working on backgrounds recently, I figured this post should continue in this vein. Here I've delved back to a project we started about this time last year, that unfortunately never quite made it to see the light of day... Set in Ireland and based on the Protestant/Catholic divide, the animation told the story of a Catholic schoolgirl who wandered into the Protestant area of town on her way home.

It was going to be magical. 

Despite the fact it never quite came together, I'm quite pleased with some of the work I produced during it. So here are 3 of my favourite backgrounds I produced for the film.

Considering this was my first time doing both backgrounds and digi painting, I don't feel I did too badly...

Make Your Own Title

Titles can be hard. This one allows you to be creative. This is me giving back.

Just a short post this time I think... I did a wee doodle for a friends 21st last night... But then got a bit carried away...

Hand inked then digi-coloured.

I'm pretty pleased with it actually. But am well aware I greatly need to improve my digi work. Currently in an internal battle with my love of linear work. I love line work, but most of my favourite illustrations that I aspire to don't have it. My goal is trying to find a happy medium. Pffffffffff...

The robot character is from my friend's comic which you can (and definitely should) purchase here:

GALERON AND TEGEN

Whereas the fox is from my comic which you could purchase here, if you so wish...:

THE SUN AND THE FOX

Oh and finally, I uploaded my linetest from a PREVIOUS POST, so have a gander, and please leave any constructive comments you have. Now I've spent some time away from it, I can see a few things I need to tighten up anyway.
