In 2017 i was working at Dneg London animating some Kaiju shots on Pacific Rim2. I loved the work, its not often we get to animate big monsters. However i did have a daily commute that lasted 2 and a half hours both ways so decided to do my best to use that time constructively do some sketching.

Decided to do an ink painting study just for the sake of drawing and because i like the process. Trying to combine some of my favourite things. Birds, gothic horror and montage poster art. Sergio Toppi has always been a big inspiration.

Making Creatures has always been my happy place. I finally got round to doing some lookdev and texture work on the Turtle creature i first sculpted almost a decade ago. Trying out some look variations with lots of comping, photo bash, paintover and renders from Blender.πŸ™‚

Bolthead, one of the Gnomes gang. I imagine these guys would be the size of a small Rat. I thought that giving them a rat like tail and eyes would make them more creepy! #monster #horror #art #blender #zbrush

Creature/character design sculpt from 2018. Some additional sculpting was done by Clare Price on this guy to help me hit a client deadline.

I sculpted this Kemushi caterpillar Kaiju during the summer of 2018. The main influence for this design was the Hickory Horned Devil caterpillar.

I tend not to do fan art generally (nothing against it) but i got so immersed into the world of Spice Frontier that I was inspired to design a creature that could fit in this universe stylistically.

Concept sculpt from 2016. Big inspiration from Brian Froud on this one. The great Amy Ash modelled the Claw hand on this one. Mischievous music -Steven Beddall-Jellybean Heist.
