Illustration for friends :)

So I have this friend who is insanely inlove with pandas! Like she's got a serious love for the monotone bears! :D we all love her dearly for it, so I decided to draw her a panda haha along with one of my favourite creatures, the racoon! I feel happy with this illustration cause I'm developing my style and feel well, daily :) I feel the colour compliments the drawing well :) comments are welcome!

Shia

Thank transformers for this one. It got me thinking, what would it be like if Shia leBeouff got an upgrade and became kind an android, crazy but that's what went through my mind :) plus my liking for the angelic had its role in the composition. Its an old piece I did in illustrator quite quickly just to get the idea across.

Muse

This was just an idea I had, while looking at works from Stanely lau, and listening to some awesome song, and this was the result :) done early this year when I first started painting so excuse its rough state.

Sketch

This is a sketch I love so much! You know when you do something, take a step back and go,"damn, did I do that?" That's the effect this has on me. Its one of my sketches from last year, where I let my imagination go wild.

I'd been working on a character, who was pretty cool, then decided to make him capable of transforming into a creature that could do things he couldn't. So I gave him the black lines running down a cheetah's face, then spots, then this, then that, and in the end, it was a cheetah man, fused with an elephant and a fox! Inspirations were very diverse, I like :)

More body painting?!

Right, so I'd been getting some requests for designing tattoos in the past months, which was pretty exciting, but I must say one of the most awesome requests I'd gotten was from a club manager of a Joburg club, The Doors, who asked me to showcase my skills and paint Henna patterns on club goers, pretty insane right? So I had to prepare somehow, I mean I'm new to this stuff haha, so what better way the to use my girlfriend as a model?

The black and white is one of the photos from the painting that went down at the club, courtesy of Black Apple Productions.http://m.facebook.com/B.Apple.Productions?refid=13&ref=logo

Tattoo Designs

Ok so after I got a pretty good response on my contribution to my previous post about my body painting work, people started requesting tattoo designs from me! As one of my body painting pieces http://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150809166113471&id=546313470&set=a.10150468750518471.366295.546313470&ref=logo had drawn a pretty good response from people. So I got a lot of offers to start designing tattoos which I'm currently still doing, this is one of the pretty cool ones I've done. It was later tattooed on a friend by a tattoo artist, not me.( Infact, it was the boyfriend of the model I painted in my last post; small world :P)

Body painting

So, oneday a friend of mine sends me a message that someone wanted a painter, I got into contact with the client, yet little did I know, I'd be body painting! Turned out a photographer wanted an artist to paint a model, I turned out to be that artist, this is the model and the rest is history :)

Sketches-Tired of waiting to be saved?

This is painting I'm working on right now, its an idea that I drew up in my visual journal. Its supposed to be an environmental campaign, for animals fighting back for their habitats. Polar bears in particular, upset by the melting polar ice caps, haha, as you can see its abit comical. A lot of friends suggested sending it to the WWF, perhaps they like the idea :)

Sketch- The Runners

This is a rough sketch I just finished of my futuristic theme, I'm calling it "The Runners", as it is influenced by my other passion, free-running and parkour.

In the scene 3 men take down a drone, one of the men does a free-running manoeuvre, called a "webster" as he takes out the drone. You can trust that I will soon be painting this one :D.

7th order- Fan art

Any of my good friends know that I have a secret passion for angels. So when the movie Legion came out a few years back I was first to know and love it!

I've always loved drawing angels, this image was based on a poster of legion, as I liked how they portrayed angels in the film, sort of badass. Angels with guns is just hardcore so I just added another layer, turning my angel into a proper soldier, kind of futuristic. :)

Sketches

This artwork from my visual journal is one I posted up on my facebook album earlier this year, although it wasn't finished. I finally got inspiration to add final details, and I kind of like it. I didn't want to change a lot since the Original idea was an image found on old parchment that was sketched on by an artist on expedition who had no paper on him haha, random but that's what goes on in my head. :)

Photography

This is my favourite photograph I took using one of those old school cameras! haha I think Its called an SLR.

Digital Paintings

These are a number of paintings I've completed over the coarse of this year. Digital painting is quite new for me as I only Started this year, but I fell inlove with it none the less, most of my work is experimental, a few commisions here and there! So as I make more paintings, I'll link them here and feel free to comment. Thank you :D
