Green Sun, Blue Moon & Meteorites

Another part of the 5 piece 'Bizarre Phenomenon' project. This one being - 17th October 1564-  Inexplicable catastrophes, inscriptions on meteorites, black snow, blue moons, green suns, showers of blood. Georgetown Guyana.

Picked out the points I thought would be most fun to do ... so kinda ignored the inscriptions part on the meteorites ahh well ;)

Hope people like it. Lots of brushes and textures used to get it how it is.

Rampaged Reality - Blog

I highly recommend this blog/site to anybody whom has an interest or love for geeky stuff (like I do :D) such as movies & games.

I stumbled across it last night and ended up spending about 2 hours trawling through page after page of artwork that Justin Page has found and finds inspiring or likes :)
So yeah a lot of varied artwork contributions from various talented artists!

Enjoy!

Rampage Reality

Here is a personal favourite from my finds upon the website, an very colourful alien inspired piece by Beaucoupzero

Of which I have as my desktop background :D

MvC3 - Episode 3 Trailer

Ok I'm can't get a video upon my blog (I dunno how to :S) So here's a link, please check out the Episode 3 Trailer.

As you can probably guess from me posting this I am EXTREMELY excited for the new Marvel Vs Capcom 3 game coming out next year! I haven't played any of the previous titles but with a huge new found love for both companies involved I'm sure I am going to love this game when it comes out.

Please enjoy this new trailer, somewhat of a basis for the story mode it seems?

Oh and here are the 32 confirmed characters so far...

Characters (C) Marvel & Capcom

600 PAGE VIEWS! :D & Ron Guyatt Artwork

Thank you to everybody who's taken the time to stop by my blog!!!! I really appreciate everyone who has taken a look, however long or short it may be!

Can't seem to find anything new & exciting enough to post up of my own, so how about an artist I came across today via Kotaku.com?
I really like his Movie-esque game posters and various other work. Please if you get chance take a look at Ron Guyatt's work on his Deviantart he's got some great work on there!

Oh & from now I shall hopefully add more inspirations and artists work I like up more frequently, of course accompanied by my own art :)

My Art of 2010

Here is some of my favourite pieces from each month of 2010. Kind of annoying really as certain months have about 3/4 favourite pieces and others are really hard in trying to find favourite pieces of mine :S

Hope people like it anyways!
With another one to come next year lets hope!!!

Bizarre Phenomenon - Flying Alien?!

Here is part of a 5 piece project.
Was given 11 different case studies or sentences really in regards to random and bizarre happenings throughout time.

This one being - '30th November 1880-  Argosies of celestial travellers. Winged beings at a height of 8000 feet in the sky above Palermo.'

The main emphasis in my piece is the winged being(s)

Very obvious influences of 'Alien' and others like Beedrill from Pokemon, Avatar creatures, Ridley from Metroid & insects (scorpions especially)

Ogg & His Eggs... DONE.

Here's what I've done for my 'Instructions Project' in which I chose to do a Caveman (being Ogg) telling people how to make scrambled eggs. With the help of some friends and funny ingredients.
Was quite fun doing this actually, apart from leaving it til the last minute as always haha

Hope people like it! It's not really to be taken seriously, kid's book meets instructions really. Fits the criteria of instructions... right ;)

Wii GAMESSSS :D

Ok I've spent a good part of tonight watching Lastexile0's Youtube videos, like that of Kirby's Epic Yarn & Donkey Kong Country Returns and in doing so couldn't be more excited for Christmas as Donkey Kong is most definitely on my Christmas list!!! As is Epic Mickey again :) Seen a substantial amount to make me want it again! :)

Epic Yarn however isn't out in the UK til February time next year (sadtimes) :( I can wait, but it does look stunning visually.

Tomorrow shall be hopefully spent completing my Instructions project, so Ogg & his eggs haha. I just really want to play games though :( .....

That is all (pointless post) hahah.

Another one .... BEARS :)

Just for fun!

After an Illustrator/Designer by the name of Alison Milner coming in for a talk at university this week I have been more inclined to do print/design based artwork for a commercial purpose. And what with my mum coming back from a Polar Bear trip + near being christmas, I thought why not

Hope people like it!

Polar Bear Christmas Print

Playing around with colours, textures and such with some Polar Bear images my Mum took on a recent trip to Canada, and here's what happened :D

Thought it would make quite a nice Christmas Card print, with the colours and warm tone added.

If you like, why not take a look at it on my RedBubble.com account :) http://www.redbubble.com/people/tomwright156/art/6340001-2-polar-bear-christmas-print ... Prints available!

Entertainment Invasion

The entertainment part of the 'Out of the Box' project, the business part being that of the Chimp.

Basically just the iPhone being the game itself, being a Space Invader, thought it suited the shape well. With it beaming up all this technology or entertainment, with some of it escaping (PacMan & Tetris)
Very symmetrical and technology based for obvious reasons & lots of pixel based imagery for the apps.

Retro gaming meets current gaming I suppose.

Polar Bear!

Today my Mum came back from a work trip to Churchill in Canada, she works for a holiday company, Tropical Sky. Basically it was to see what the Polar Bear watching package they sell is like to promote it and such. Much to my pleasure she took A LOT of photographs, so here is one of the best ones of which she's allowed me to edit for Photographic purposes ;)
Hope people like it!! Will definitely have to make a visit to Churchill sometime in my life, looks such an amazing place.

Available for prints upon my RedBubble.com site - http://www.redbubble.com/people/tomwright156/art/6334768-1-polar-bear-bandw all purchases are really appreciated!

Thanks :)

200 + Pageviews ... THANK YOU :)

Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to stop by this blog. Really appreciate any time people have given to take a quick look :D

Instructions Project - How To Cook Eggs With Ogg

^ LOL at the title hahaha :)
Basically here is what I have done so far for a project in which we have to do illustrations for instructions. They can be for whatever they want, so I'm doing how to make scrambled dino eggs with a caveman... named Ogg.
Each picture will follow this pattern (and there's going to be 14 steps) this is just the introductory 'Meet Ogg' first step. HEAVILY influenced by chibi style & the cooking mama look.

It's got a kid's book but instructions feel to it. Accessible to all ;)
Will be featuring Mammoths milk, Tim The T-Rex, Ogg's whizzing whisk hahah and more.

Hope people like it, it's not like my usual stuff at all but always up for trying something new :)

Monkey Business .... Well Chimp ;)

Half of part of a editorial college project to do artwork on both a Phone + Business App Package & the same with an entertainment package. 

Here is the business one, basically playing on the idea of chimps trying to work things. But taking the whole business thing out of context and flipping it, so the chimp (the businessman) wants just... one thing (the banana) and can't find it.


The context was to be in an editorial for The Sunday Times in which it would be quite light hearted, talking about all these phone packages and such.

Feminism & Information Is Beautiful

Two quite recent projects, both featuring Nintendo characters.
Information Is Beautiful was a project based on the idea of presenting information or data in a pretty way basically, so I did a Nintendo Franchise sales pie chart. The second project feminism was whatever we wanted it to be, could interpret how we wanted really. I chose to do the kind of idea of 'behind every good man is an even greater woman' I believe that's how the saying goes maybe?! .. So yeah behind possibly gaming's greatest hero, Super Mario is .... Peach.
Picture says it all really... haha
Hope you all like them!!! :)

College - Phantom Limbs

Part of a college project in which we (being my class) were given different case studies about various disorders, mine being Phantom Limbs. A case in which people whom have lost limbs by amputation or however have a feeling that their limbs are there, be it tingling feeling or quite sharp sudden pains. Went for a quite literal interpretation of the name of the case study.

MvC3 Art Submission

Here is my submission for the European Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Art contest.
Featuring 6 characters; For Marvel - Spiderman, Iron Man & Wolverine and 3 Capcom - Amaterasu, Morrigan & Spencer.
Took quite a while, but pleased with the outcome :) 

Prints :)

Some older imagery that I've altered to make more print based...

Again all of which are available at http://www.redbubble.com/people/tomwright156 :)

Captain Bugs

Another older piece of artwork done for a personal college project in which I combined Marvel Characters & Looney Tunes, alongside some Marvel Artwork I produced.
So here is Bugs Bunny + Captain America = Captain Bugs

Wildlife Photography

Well I thought for my first post I'd do something different bearing in mind I'm an aspiring Illustrator thought I would upload some wildlife photography I'm quite pleased with before I begin uploading the handy work as such.

Here are some photographys taken at both Howlett & Portlympe wildlife parks in Kent.
