Aliens Summer Smash Round 1

That's right people, this week marked my return to competitive art.
As mentioned last week, I'm competing in the Summer Smash movie tournament over at Outcast Studios and my first round match up was due this week.

My opponent Dany2069 and I were given the movie 'Aliens' and told to go nuts and just produce any kind of related art. Could be a poster, tonal study, favourite moment, just anything.

Time was not on my side this week though with my Web Design job and weeping over my failed haircut taking up alot of time.

I did however quickly churn this out.

This of course is a teaser poster for a movie that doesn't exist. I tried to make the idea as simple as possible, giving you a clear idea of what the movie would be about etc. If I had time, I would maybe go back and fix the horrible anatomy but hey I'm happy enough for a few hours.

Here's what Dan the man through up

He's definitely nailed the essence and tone of the Alien franchise much more than I did!

Update: I'm winning 6-3 so far =D putting me in a good position for round 2.

The Scottscars 2023

The 2023 Scottscars For the film industry, 2023 was a year of soaring highs, particularly in animation, as well as crippling strains- see the SAG-AFTA strike or the state of Marvel and DC. So grab yourself a Venti Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato, with sugar free syrup and enjoy the 2023 Scottscars- the awards they all want to win, they just don't know it yet. The running order as always: The 2023 Scottsars Awards Last years predictions 2024 movie predictions My 2023 Stats Because the Scottscars are 100% my personal opinion, here’s what we’re working with! I had a very busy year doing the festival circuit across the world for my own short animated film, Candlelight , so I didn't see as much as usual in terms of feature films- although I have watched 75,348 short films this year. Movies watched: 72 Cinema : 29 times, 11 Imax Most watched actor/actress: Jackie Chan Most Watched Director: Brett Ratner (oh dear 💀) Notable films I haven’t seen this year: Tar Maestro The Boy an

The 2022 Scottscars

The 2022 Scottscars Hello readers! Hope you’re both well. 2022 was a funny old year in the movies. There’s certainly a sense of Hollywood trying to find its place in the new post-covid landscape, to varying success. Disney’s MCU experiments had mixed results, with the Disney plus shows varying wildly in quality and Thor 4 being an attempt to make a film about cancer into a stand up comedy routine. The year started with Will Smith’s slapping Oscars performance, then the world heard about Amber Heard’s dog stepping on a bee, Ezra Miller continued to be the absolute worst, Henry Cavill being in and out and all about with the Witcher and Superman, Warner Brothers showing absolutely zero confidence in their products by shelving 2 COMPLETED movies and James Gunn deciding to toss out the entire DC universe and rebooting it from scratch. But one thing that DOESN’T change is the most obscure and least renowned film awards of the year (It’s tradition now, so we're stuck with it). Welcome

Guess the Sketch!

So I've decided that my artwork's went waaaay downhill since I moved to digital sketching and inking. I still prefer digital for non messy colouring but for sketching, nothing beats a good ol' pencil. So for my first serious pencil sketch since my Sherlock Holmes sketch back in about 2008 I decided to sketch ......... Why don't you guess? Here's my first initial outlines, which to be honest looks like a troll in drag. Anyone who guesses right before I update the post with my progress can pick what I draw next! That's right people- FREE COMMISSION! Post your guesses here on the blog if you have a googlemail/gmail account or in the link on my facebook Dear, dear I've got my work cut out for me
