Like Cthulhu in a Santa outfit

Another Monday night drawing, my first attempt at using my phone for anything like this, I used Sketchbook Mobile to make this, I just did it with my finger and  used about 3 layers. Hit the link if your interested in getting it for android there is a free and a paid for version and another "pro" one for tablets. I did this without a capactive pen but I'd suggest getting one, they are  alot easier to use (if you have chubby fingers like me).

As for the Sant'ta these were basically time police, that protected the universe from time disturbances, and punished anyone that commits an offence, once they realized that they couldn't charge us they decided to get rid of the planet anyway because the superhero population would change the balance of power. Fun fun, and hat off to the GM.  Nice festive killer time cop for the season.

The graphics card in my laptop is shot and replacing it and everything else that's wrong with it is going to cost too much to justify it really, but fingers crossed I can at least get Photoshop running again.

Enjoy your holidays, and try not to get too drunk ;)

"Thank you, sir. I comprehend."

A couple of drawings today, laptop is still out of commission but I've hooked the scanner up to the net-book, no cleanup on this tiny screen. 

The second image is just for fun It might go along with last week ;) 

The first one is relevant to a news article I was reading, Google Voice Search a way to control the android phone with speech recognition, has been around for a while, hell I even had it on my G1 (Cyanogen ROM). Now that Siri for the iPhone has come out all polished and shiny and cool looking, Google are going to have to step up their game a little... I've read a few places that Googles answer to Siri is called Majel and it'll only be incorporated into voice searches at first. Now, the reason its called Majel? Well nothings confirmed but I'd like to think it's a nice homage to Majel Barrett-Roddenberry. The voice of Enterprises Computer in star trek, and I think it's brilliant so you get this nice doodle.

Zombie Survival

Laptop's still out of commission, it will be 'til after Christmas. Here's an image of a pet project that's rattling around my brain it's a secret for now though ;_;

I had to draw this whilst under attack from the new kitten, she's all teeth and claws. If it moves she kills it, if it doesn't, she kills it.

If I survive the next mauling I'll post some pictures/drawings. I'm hoping the laptop is up and running again soon I could do with getting back to Photoshop.

Appologies

I have missed a few weeks, and have been struggling with posting things on here. I am sorry for that. I truly am. Technology certainly has not been my friend recently. But there is nothing new with that.

I have been out with my camera over the last few weeks, so I'm going to update a little with a bit of a snapshot of what I have been taking with my camera. Because that has been the only way I have been inspired at all.

The picture above is me attempting to get unusual perspective, by sitting the camera on a wall. It gives the perception that the plants are on a size with the building. It obviously isn't, but I feel that it is something that adds a different dimension to a photograph. This isn't something that interests most people, but it is something I find really exciting. I like being able to change how a scene looks, just by positioning the camera slightly different. It is almost magical, when I think about it. 

I have tried to get the same effect in this image. I feel that this one is a bit more successful, in that the flowers look large compared to the building behind it. I also feel like the pink parts of the flower petals really look bright, brought out by the flash in the camera. 

I try not to be over complicated with my photographs, as I have had no education on it, and just have the ideas which are in my head. Whilst I do think about what kind of image I want to take, I don't try to think too much. I feel that sometimes pictures I just 'take' on a whim are better than the ones that I actually take a lot of time over. Which is ironic really. 

Illustrator FUN!

Hey there back again thought I put some thing up that has been done on illustrator again.


The last few weeks I have been helping to build a new student intranet at the college I go to. and this is some thing that was built for an image slideshow.

so this was created following a tutorial and all that was used to do it was creating a line then useing the 3d option in illustrator to extrude it out into the back ground.

So this is the final look for it imported it into Photoshop add the text to it all. well if you can make it out the text is  from a rule pack for one of the games workshop tournaments. Hopefully no will notice that :) this was a fun and stress piece of work to create as I wasn't too sure on what to do for the back ground but i thought i keep it simple and have it a see through bg.
