Great Gatsby, Batman! (well, no Batman...)

The last of the pictures I did for Tammy, this time from her favourite book, The Great Gatsby.

Charlotte's Web and Smaug

Another couple of pictures I did for Tammy's classroom, this time a Charlotte's Web picture, and Smaug from The Hobbit (based roughly on an Archaeopteryx, rather than the movie version).

Superhero (secret identity) sketches

These are some character sketches that I put together for someone who... kinda dropped out. Anyway, I liked them. The idea is a kid who becomes a vigilante. My design started off nerdy, but then I was asked to make him look 'cooler'. I've also got a very rough sketch of his armour, but that design got changed quite a bit later. I'll post the (in my opinion, much better) designs for the armour later.

Cyber Spider

Something I knocked together for a t-shirt design. This is the first thing I've drawn from start to finish on my tablet. I enjoyed it as a learning experience, I definitely like the more controlled quality of colour I was able to get, and the extra time I spent on the colouring felt worth it.

Hope you like it ,too.

The King of Diamonds

This is a picture I did for someone who wanted a superhero version of playing card characters, so I did the King of Diamonds.

Thai street scene

A rough sketch for a design for the boxes at a Thai Restaurant that wasn't picked up.

Doctor Who sketches

Yeah... After I posted that commission piece, I realised I'd forgotten to post another lot of sketches that I didn't use. I know one of them looks like David Tennant, but they're all actually meant to be Matt Smith. I think he must have been regenerating or something.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Doctor Who Commission

This piece was well-received, but I would have made some more revisions to it if I'd had more time. I'm still basically happy with it, but with another day, I think I could have done an even better likeness.

Iron Man Commission piece

This is the commission piece I was working on with the Iron Man sketches. I'm pretty happy with it, though there's one or two bits that slightly irk me, if I'm honest.

Doctor Who Again

More Doctor Who sketches for my commission.

3 Iron Mans!

(Get it? Like Iron Man 3 - which I coincidentally saw at the weekend and really enjoyed) More sketches preparing for my Iron Man commission - a more detailed sketch of the movie armour (Mark 42, I believe), and a couple of experimental posed sketches.

Dctor Who sketches

So, I just watched the Doctor and Clara's journey to the centre of the TARDIS (and I think I need to watch it all over again), so here's some sketches of him that I did for another commission.

Iron Man sketches

I was asked if I could do an Iron Man picture, so I spent quite a bit of time sketching him in Australia. He's a very different hero to the superheros I like to draw, and even to the cyborgs I've been doing in Acquisition, so it was an interesting exercise.

This is what I've been working on lately, a commission for a lady I work with, of her daughter, as a child, and now.
