so.it's over.

but not really. apparently the fat lady's booked in to play our degree show because that's when we officially put this degree business to bed.

so. i will hold off getting all mushy and sentimental until then. besides, there's still a crap tone of work to be done before our show at the truman goes up! hell yeeeaaaahhh!!

in the mean time HOLY SHIT YOU ACTUALLY RE-DID THAT BLOODY CHAMBER PROJECT. and just in time for hand in too…

company of wolves:

the bloody chamber:

puss in boots:

cover:

ok. so not quite as disastrous as last time… perhaps? i'll leave that up to you. and the external examiner. oo err.

while we're on the topic of thugs with rather twisted sexual undertones, i recently discovered the rather twisted world of jeremie perin. the guy is responsible for some of the most cockamamie bug fuck insane music videos you EVER have seen. you will be left reaching for the soul-bleach. that i promise.

here's one that's not quite so lude. actually, it's pretty beautifully animated... and the art/ character work is freaking stunning. that said, this started off looking like it was going to be pretty freakin' pervy. but then the two minuet mark happened. and things went more bananas than gwen stiffani could ever imagine….




finally, today is happy norway day- so go out and have yourselves a rip-roaringly good time!

you know what? it's probably high time you posted something that wasn't an exaggerated stick figure. or naked. so here are the finals from our first project as third years for which we had to produce a cover and three illustrations for angela carter's bloody chamber.

cover-



the bloody chamber-



puss in boots-


the company of wolves-


except they're not really finals. O PHYCHE! nah, the crit for this pointed out about a billion and one things that could be tweeked and reworked (not to mention the issue of my fantastically gender- channelled women. good god, i really need to learn how to draw things with uteruses) so these are going to get a big fat over haul in time for when they mark us at january. BRING IT.

so if you made it through all these half baked ideas, here's a little something for your efforts:



GOOD STUFF!

WHAT'S THIS? ANOTHER POST OF ASSORTED BITS AND BOBS?



scrapped idea from the bloody chamber project. at some very early point in the project, out tutor pointed out that quite a few of our pusses in boots looked liked they were fresh off the stage of the local pantomime/shrek set. from there, i somehow wound up up with this bad lewis caroll acid trip. huh.



aaaaaaaaaaand some more life drawing. now with 100% more clothing.

SKETCHBOOK SUNDAY!

so for our first project, the powers that be had us illustrating selected stories from angela carter's the bloody chamber. if we manage to come up with anything half way decent, the finals will be sent to duke it out in the folio society's latest competition.

here's a buch of half baked ideas. there were a lot of those. seems like the key thing they want to drill into us this year is how INSANELY important it is to keep pushing and pushing and pushing your ideas.
