A couple more. All done for ImagineFX magazine, so copyrighted to Future Publishing. The giant mushroom one is from last year, but the other two are to be found in the issue 139, hitting the stores...

We want it to get closer by kilometres, not millimetres, Sav. I seem to recall you working on a script/screenplay based on Piggotty at one point. Did that lead anywhere you can tell us about? Or...

Thanks Sav. You are always very kind.

Hey, I don't suppose you've done anything about a sequel to your wonderful Piggotty Wood book? I'm always ainticipating seeing a new thread starting where...

Here are the few that wouldn't attach in one go. . . . The last displayed is an earlier stage from the first displayed (rusting robot), to show how bare it looked before I went crazy with the sticker...

This place has been very quiet of late, and I'm in no position to criticise that, given how long it's been since I contributed, or commented. To start to remedy that, here are a few bits and pieces...

Hey gang,

Apologies for the long silences. Lots of distractions going on, including a first grandchild born in January.

Doesn't mean I've not been chugging away work wise, but I don't use...

Thanks Copespeak. Best bit about it was that it was fun to do despite the pressure. And ArtRage performed great. Such a super bit of kit.

Sorry to have ben so quiet, chaps. Lots of juggling and family stuff going on. Life basically, like we all have to deal with.

I'm always switching between AR and SKB for my drawing and painting,...

Well many thanks for the kind words of encouragement chaps.


Limey-G -
That's a very kind thing to say. Much appreciated, thanks.

Boxy -
No reference, but I must have looked at loads of...

Thanks for the encouragement, and sorry for the long silence. Keep forgetting to drop stuff in here. Before I do though - do take note of Boxy's links just above this entry and note the fact that...

Hi guys,

IFX magazine have just dropped a video capture on Youtube, that I created in support of an article I did for their Q&A section. It's about painting an armoured owl. Don't be put off by...

Thanks again chaps.

Still not quite polished off the vampiric one, while I tackle another in the deadline pipeline. Just a picture of an old crypt that kind of goes with it. I'm splattering...

Many thanks as ever for the encouragement chaps.
Wading on with it, between necessary trips to the recycling centre to dump some of the crap from our overladen garage. Here's where it has struggled...

Hi guys,
And many thanks yet again for the nice words.

Caesar - it's all ArtRage. Those leaves and grass are just a combo of some custom made stickers and painting back into it. Not happy with...

Many thanks for the nice comments and support chaps. Apologies for the delay in replying - deadline chases and all that.

Caesar - Not sure how log that candle piece took exactly. I was juggling...

Ooh you don't want to get in there Steve. So messy and disorganised.
No you are quite right about the shadows being sort of warm in this candle one, as opposed to the more obvious choice of blues...

Thanks for the support chaps. Sorry it's taken a while to reply. Have my head down chasing deadlines all over the place and so my goblin has stalled. I'll get back to him. Meanwhile here are a...

I bought it too Sav - totally without hesitation.

Off you go then. Next project. You've had the extra encouragement you mentioned so no excuses now . . . .

Thanks Lima. You are very kind.

I'm chasing my tail like mad on a deadline at the moment and so can only snatch minutes to spend on this while files are saving and such - or I just need to get my...

Hey Sav,
Great to hear you are thinking about another book idea.
Personally I don't think there is any need to go back and fiddle with your utterly charming first.

The majority of us get that...

That's good information Sav.

I don't suppose you are considering doing another little gem in the same mold? In all your spare time . . . . .
It would be delightful to see another thread like...

Hey thanks for all the kind comments, chaps. You are always so supportive and it's really appreciated.

Talking about lighting, which some of you mentioned.
It's a bit of an old illustrator's...

Here is one more on that last thing - a detail.

Talking of paid work as I was, here are three beer labels just done - I've submitted them to the gallery today also.

They are for Broughton Ales,...

Many thanks guys. Your kind, supportive comments are always appreciated.

Here is where that giant thing went to.
Plus another thing in the pipeline, which may well ahve to go right on the back...

You are always really encouraging Caesar. Thank you so much for that. Not much progress while I juggle several jobs madly, but here's a couple more early WIP's.
