Hobbies & Pet Projects
These next examples cover my pet projects and composition "doodles" which I love indulge in...
Big Star Wars fan. Although the prequels were not my favourites. This was to be the first poster of two, I have yet to do one based of the original movies :-) This image was made up of various stills and concept images of the movies. I treated the separate elements to give them all a consistent painted feel, as well as substantial amounts of digital paint over in some areas.
As a massive life long Doctor Who fan I put together a poster featuring all the Doctors and a some of his more memorable enemies. Again using production stills I found, I brought all the elements together and passed a paint filter across them to get a consistent feel and then digitally painted in or out details to fit the image.
I'm a huge Retro Gaming fan. I love my old consoles (8bit generation) and the old arcade games too. I finally realized a dream of mine to
build my own Arcade machine. All the vinyls for the cab where designed a created by myself as well as applying them too (I used to be a
sign writer in my youth) :)
Currently I own - Arcade Cab, Vectrex, Sega Saturn, Sega Master System, SNES, Atari Jaguar, PS2, Game Cube, Commodore CD32, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Nintendo 3DS XL as well as hundreds of games across all these platforms. (Crazy I know).
