A commission and a gift

Thought I'd post these up as they're fairly recent.

Over Christmas I was asked to paint something to be given as a birthday gift. As the recipient is a Final Fantasy fan, that's the kind of look I went for. The original is A3 size but this is just a low-res version:

The idea was for it to be printed out on canvas, and I got to see it when it was done! It came out really well, the photo is a little dark but that was just my camera - the print itself was lovely. It's 2ft by 3ft and there wasn't any loss of picture quality!

On an unrelated note, this was painted for someone on the Fancy Rats forum:

And this has nothing to do with anything, it's just a sketch I meant to post up a while ago:

I'm going to re-shuffle my site soon, and I'll probably remove these as I don't think they're really worth putting up. I'll dump them here instead:

He is going to live in ColourRunners, yes indeedy.

Graduated at last

Complete with silly hats and everything!

I think the look of general bewilderment on my face sums the day up nicely.

So now the job hunt begins. It seems I've been neglecting this blog a fair bit, but now I have a website set up I'm planning to use it a bit more, for sketches, works-in-progress etc. I think I hide my stuff away too much, so I'm trying to kick the habit and get it out in the open more! I uploaded another pic to the website the other week as well, so feel free to have a look if you haven't already. Might as well get the ball rolling...

Quick doodle-y thing I did the other night:

Another new blog for another new project...

I've set up a joint blog with Harry for the final project (I've also made a personal one but, like a 13 year old girl's diary, it's a secret). There isn't a whole lot posted on it at the moment but here it is: http://colourrunners.blogspot.com/

Colour Runners is a working title. Figured it was better than just calling it "Working Title", though I thought that had its charms.
