FOTC Poster Artistry

Hi this is my effort at a Flight of the Conchords Band Poster. Their was a competition on their website for fans to submit a new poster for the show. The cutoff was yesterday and thanks to their tricky and my lack of reading I missed the deadline. It was yesterday at 11:59 am and I thought it was 11:59 pm, which makes entirely more sense. Anyway I thought I would share my work. I think I would have had a strong chance but, lesson learned and I did have fun making it.
Let me know what you guys think and watch the show it is hilarious (Sunday at 10pm HBO).

Likenesses and logos are trademarks of HBO and Flight of the Conchords.

Kiwi Attack!!

Hi Guys here is a Sketch that got a little crazy :) I was working on the Poster contest for Flight of the Conchords and I thought I would show a New Zealand battle against Australia. (Go New Zealand lol). Enjoy.

Two more Videos

Here are two more videos that I found interesting and although some of you have seen these before, I thought I would post them anyway. The first is actually a spoof of the Snuggie ad, and is what I see when watching the commercial. If you have seen them watch them again, because they are funny. I will post some more artwork shortly this is just filling the gap. Have a nice day everyone.

Perry the Platypus

Hi here is a quick night sketch. Someone told me about this secret agent Platypus named Agent P on this Disney show called Phineas and Ferb. I looked him up and found him to be quite beloved by fans and well designed, this is merely fan art. No one expects the Platypus until he dons his Fedora. Done in Photoshop.

Nightmare Sketches

Here is a new piece I am working on. Just something silly that I thought of recently and wanted to paint. I thought I would let people in on some of the stages I went through. Final work is below. Enjoy.

The Nightmare-finished

Hi Guys here is the finished piece. I decided to go with a little bit of a more simple approach. Done in Painter X, and it took a couple of hours. C&C welcome

Speed paint

Hi Guys here is a speed paint, took me about an hour. Done in Painter X.

Karen and Jim

Hi Guys, its been awhile, but here is my latest portrait work. Took some beating to get it somewhat to the level I wanted. Karen and Jim are my new Parents in-law and I thought I would do a somewhat more classical portrait. Done in Photoshop. Comments are welcome.

Making Of : Hanuman

Hi, I thought I would try to show some of my process. It kind of changes depending on the project. Sometimes I sketch it out, or some times I just start with silhouettes and shapes. If I do a sketch, it is not detailed, it is more about placement, ideas, and rhythms. At first I tried to upload this as a animated GIF file, but eventually I learned that Blogger doesn't support them. So I made a video. It is really poor quality, but I think it still shows the process. I may just post bigger images of the process sided by side next time. You can find the finished version of Hanuman lower on this page. Let me know what you think.

Practice

Hi guys, here is a still life done in Painter X in oils. Enjoy.

Hanuman

Done in Painter X, little bit in Photoshop. Enjoy. C&C welcome.
