Lasercut Oni, had to cut the rest of the shape by hand, i think that the burned in wood effect is mega cool!

Tuesday 18 October 2011

Added a little colour to the design, i am much more confident with picking and choosing colours and adding highlights after a little research and reading on colour theory, i believe it shows! the brush swipes were a little bit to finish it all off and work perfectly

Monday 17 October 2011

New work using the Oni Demons theme again, this is the initial Ink work that im going to experiment with lasercutting, i want to try a few different effects!

Nintendo Case Base Design

This is the Base design for my Super Nintendo Case project, i designed this from scratch using a little inspiration from the original nintendo cases and artwork! thought i would have a go at making it 3D since it makes it that little bit more proffesional

The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past

This one was very very hard for me, it took much longer than the others. the reason for this? its possibly one of my favorite games of all time, ever! i really wanted to do it justice, i procrastinated for ages on layout, spacing, and which artwork to include, i eventualy got to something that i liked, i feel i could have done more but that is just the perfectionist in me! i feel its awesome as it is, and it HAD to have the classic gold colour!

Super Mario Kart

Next was Super Mario Kart! this was difficult as i couldn't choose between the japanese or western box art, its a similar image but utilmutly the japanese won outright, its just that little bit cooler... i went a bit crazy with the original artwork cause i had the booklet for this one so i could scan the originals, i couldn't leave them behind! i love the old drawings so much!

Super Mario World

Super Mario World was up next, i based my cover more heavily on the Japanese release of the game as the artwork is so much more intricate than the European art work

Super Nintendo Re-Design

if you have ever had a Super Nintendo then you know that the cardboard cases they come in get mashed up if you dont look after them, and if your buying second hand, you pay a bit too much for the ones in good boxes! so my project to house my snes games in VHS tape cases began...

Super Mario World
Super Mario Allstars was up first, i used the red and gold colour theme from the recently redesigned Allstars released on the Wii, i used the Europe artwork and my own screenshots for the back cover

Spaceman Jim! Mk II


Okay this time i used my regular method of brush and ink for the line-work, then scanned it and used the Wacom for colour... i think this method works much better!

Mike Tan - Album Work



Some design work for a friends personal album project
the album is entitled "Chinese Lanterns"
not sure if it should be the Gold or Black yet!

Spaceman Jim!


Some practice with the Wacom from a pencil sketch from the sketchbook!
used the digital to ink and colour, took longer than inking with drawing inks but a good finish with colours....
