To all the aspiring artists, DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE!! Having been in the creative industry for a few years now (going on 10 but who's counting!) I wanted to give some advice.

I recently started a new job and with all new jobs it is exciting, daunting, and it feels we have really hit the top, this is the one! it's now 7 weeks in and you start to realise, what if this isn't the one, am I going to have enough skills to hit the jobs market again, what's going to be next? You only find yourself at this stage because quite frankly, you have let things slip.

These past few weeks have been the very best of my career so far, digitally painting all day, researching Disney artwork... I would come home and have the mind set, ahh, I have done enough hard slogging work these past 8 years I need a break. NO!! Don't listen to that voice don't ever settle, and definitely never think you have learned enough from life because it can creep up behind you and give you an almighty wallop!

So my plan is to finish a few things by Christmas, enjoy the break then get stuck right into my game Omni. This will mean extra hours at the computer, this will mean turning down invitations and this will mean getting my head back into some online courses. Art needs to evolve, so learn from my past mistakes and make sure you are always ready to battle whatever gets thrown at you.

And if you are wondering about courses please check out SCHOOLISM.

This is a little article that I was recently featured in, great to have something out there and if you would like to read it please follow this link :) https://studiovox.com/blog/five-digital-artists-you-should-know

I had a great weekend playing around with some styles, I added a splash of colour for now but when I have some time I would like to complete them.

Personal piece for my game, this character isn't what she seems... Using her siren like magic to beckon beings and creatures to her silent call she uses potions and magic to defeat her foes. Wouldn't you rather have this deadly beauty as an ally?

Goya is a new character I have been working on for my game, he has a tiger spirit who he summons when in battle to help him destroy enemies.

Happy New Year! And welcome to my blog, I have been attending some life drawing classes in the evenings after my day job as a games artist. This year I want to create 4 different human characters to give a bit of diversity to my portfolio. After that I am going to include them in my own game, so lots going on here and let's all keep drawing, 2016 is going to be great for art!

Had a lot of fun working on this piece, took a couple days. I wanted it to have a Zelda feel to it and it might be a style I explore a bit more.

Working on something new, trying to combine my 2D & 3D

These are some little daily doodles I try to fit in on the train to work :)
