Illustrator & Photoshp

I just had a little play with Illustrator earlier on in the week to do my line work for a simple drawing that I did for an previous piece of work. I actually enjoyed this after sooo long of avoiding the dreaded pen tool, however I am now very much in love with it!
I then took the bare line work from illustrator into Photoshop to color it up and it worked pretty well. Although this was a simple experiment it has definitely made me want to use this technique in more of my work and I plan to experiment with illustrator further through the summer for my return in September.

3D Character

I have designed a alien character which I am currently wrestling with Cinema 4D to make him come to life in the world of 3D. So far his general body shape, legs and feet are fully formed but I need to correct his arms and hands before I set out in the rig to make him walk......or dance!
Here's a shot of it in progress and I am hoping to ave him complete by Wednesday this week.

The body is made up of segments

 His feet have been box modelled.

So I'm off to get cracking on his hands, and I'll keep you posted on his progress.

Barnaby Barford

Hi all,
I was lucky enough to go to a great exhibition and lecture by Barnaby Barford, an artist who mainly works with ceramics, at the Laing Art gallery this week. His latest exhibition was entitled The Big Win and it was really great.
I really enjoyed his work, he is very free about how he express his thoughts on cultural factors, which is really refreshing and his ability to work with a narrative and the though he puts into his work is amazing. The story behind each piece is both in your face and hidden within each piece just waiting for the viewer to find it.
If you get a chance to pop down to the gallery, its definitely worth it, really enjoyed the exhibition.

Thanks
