Satisfaction

A quick doodle I did for a portrait I was redoing. Inspired by Disney/Frozen. 

Galactic Crown Brand Corned Beef

Crown Brand Corned Beef Advertisement

Here it is! the final design for the Corned Beef advert poster, after weeks and weeks (with a sprained wrist.. not fun in the slightest) I have it completed and i'm pleased with the outcome :) Majority of it was done in Illustrator; the characters and type, the rest was done in Photoshop. I'm still learning the ropes of Photoshop so to me, this was a challenge but a fun one! Yay just in time for assessment this week :)

Space themed Crown Brand corned beef advert

Just a progress shot, (though i'm a fair bit further on than this image shows, but it's the only image I took of my progress haha..) of my design for the Crown Brand corned beef space themed advert. Mixed wild robot cat, space woman and cute alien :) Been having fun doing this piece but it's taking me much longer to complete than anticipated due to an injury to my wrist which is taking its sweet time to heal. Slow and steady.. slow and steady.

New Favourite Artists Discovery

Recently I've been lacking in posts due to constantly keeping track on University work, I do apologise! However, (sorry this isn't a post of my work, I know you're all heartbroken) in my constant search in finding artists I like and get inspired by I came across two, yes that's TWO new artists that I love. They both work as a Visual Development artist for Disney Animation which makes me love them more as I'm a sucker for a good Disney film.

The first artist being Helen Mingjue Chen, I found her on Instagram where I've found a lot of my new favourite artists believe it or not, and went on a search for websites and blogs by her to see her work in full. You can find her work here and here.

She has also done work as the main artists on this little animation called 'The Paperman' which I only found out recently but knew of the little animation months ago, so that was a nice little piece of information as the artwork in it, I really like! Here is the trailer to the animation below; it is a Disney Oscar Nominated Animated short film and here is the full animation (around 6 mins). Helen has also done work in films such as Tangled, Wreck it Ralph, Frankenweenie and Pinnochio.

The second artist is Brittney Lee, another visual dev artist for Disney Animation. I found her work through Helen Chens blog and immediately took a liking to her vibrant work. You can find her work here. Her style always seems to have that fun essence to it, her characters looking happy and bubbly, bright colour palettes and such. Brittney has a lovely style and her use of typography is very playful! She is very talented with paper layered work. Here are some of my favourites!

An Audience for a Rock Metal Festival

An Audience for a Rock Metal Festival

A gouache painting on wood of an audience at a rock metal festival. I wanted to stay away from the grungy stereotypical metal festival and go for a more vibrant psychedelic look. I experimented with styles and decided to leave the skin colour the tone of the wood.

Serco Prize Inspiration #1: Steve Simpson

Illustrated Coffee Cup Design - Steve Simpson

For the past few weeks I've been working on various things but one project we have been given is to enter the Serco Prize Competition 2013 which can be found here. The theme is London stories, fictional or non-fictional, well known or not well known and after hours of searching I found a ghost story which sparked my interest about a chicken in Pond Square. I thought it would be a brilliant way to go about this competition, doing something funny and spooky (quite a coincidence that it's close to Halloween too wooooh.) While choosing a story to base my design on I was also looking through a variety of my favourite artists to help inspire me and I decided upon Steve Simpson as his style is quite like how I wanted mine to look like in the end. He has lots of fun factors within his pieces and is incredible at typography which is something ill be dabbling in with this piece. Steve Simpson also uses limited colour palates brilliantly which is another reason I chose to base my piece around his work. The competition deadline is 3rd November.. Wish me luck!
