One crazy week

Hey guys

Ok wow crazy week hey infact crazy year so far.

Two massive earthquakes, a Tsunami and Artists block..... seriously

SO yes I'm sure someone is saying the end is nigh, and others are saying the great shift is nigh and others are hoping to see god or zeus or whoever burn in from the atmosphere and tear us humans a new one.



Also if anyone knows anyone in Libya that knows what the hell is happening over there, could you please tell us cos damn with the news the way it is they are severely smokescreening the Libyan conflict. Is it even a conflict I dont know cos yes news on it is scarce.


Wow I keep wanting to say something empowering and positive to those of you in Japan and New Zealand and I'm really powerless I can't really say anything without sounding like a hypocrite. What do I say wthout sounding trite and pretentious.

All I can do is salute both countries, and hope for the best.


So yeah last 2 weeks have been nuts, been on a creative block so haven't produced any work that I'm particularily proud of, I have however been very busy practicing which is what I feel is the best thing to do in a creative slump.

Been going through my colour theory, anatomy, pencil technique and have even tried other ways of holding my pencil.
 It doesn't make the situation any less miserable but at least I don't feel like I've pissed two weeks away being mopey.
Because I've used the time to better myself and in The Empire Strikes Back Yoda has a lil something to say about being mindful of where you are now which has been resonating with me these last coupla weeks.

By Yoda I mean the real Yoda from Empire and Return, not cg captain obvious yoda from episodes 1,2,3.
Choose the wrong Yoda and you'll get crap advice, simple.

Also for those of you who care I'm now single, I'm sure this is somehow affecting my mood too.
thought you should know.

As always thanks for reading.

Sorry if this has been a miffy lil blog post, but I feel miffy or shit, yes shit is more manly than miffy.


So I'm sorry if I put you all in a shit mood.

And now for some artwork :D


Yes I just finished this it's fresh and yeah I kinda dig it, in fact I dig it a lot and I used a very limited palette, practice, practice, practice remember.


Pink was used to bring out the greens yellows and blues, decided cool foreground would add a creepy feel.
Also split the lighting a lil to help give him a lighter side of evil.
