Before and After's

Its been a while since I last updated this, I have been knuckling down on projects and went through a spout of not liking many of my works. But I have some pieces I DO like!! And I just want to show you them before colouring and after for comparisons. 

If you'd lime to asked questions about my techniques used, photoshop brushes, anything feel free.

Big Sleep Final

So I've finally submitted my project for the book cover unit. It was The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. A I mainly work with figurative pieces I also want to post the single items of my project.

I wanted to compose an action scene taken from a scene in the book were Marlowe the main character has to escape his captors whilst still handcuffed.

 Even though I didn't include the handcuffs in the illustration...

 Even though it is not necessary I uploaded Marlowe with a background...

 This was the first compisission I created with custome texture backgrounds.

 With a couple of alterations this was my second development stage.

 This was my final design, the title text was created by me and the Authors name and sub headings were the 'Hoefler Text' type face.

Work In Progress

Just a little steampunk pencil drawing I'm working on for a college project, isn't he lovely :)

I'll only sleep when The Big Sleep happens

The Big Sleep: Slightly More Detailed Ideas

Having chosen a couple of ideas I preferred I then went on to refine the ideas.

I have since scrapped these ideas completely.
