This is some testing footage from my VFX project. It was made by taking a green screen on location and filming. We then took the footage into After Effects and were able to manipulate the footage and just try some different things out. I added a nuclear explosion to the background and a fire effect that times with the footage. I just wanted to have a bit of fun with it :)

Ashara (Khajiit)

I was going through some of my old screenshots on Steam and found a screenshot of my old Khajiit character from The Elder Scrolls Skyrim. I still really like the design I came up with for her. It really give off the stealthy rogue look. I also enjoyed my use of mixed media using pen and pencil and how it came out on the finale result.

My attempt at making logo for my characters raider gang. I tried to make it look rustic so it would look like something the raiders would be able to paint in the post apocalypse to signify Stag territory.

RadKing

My raider boss design inspired by the raiders from the Fallout games and the psycho's from the Borderland series. It's just a quick sketch I did while traveling between home and college, though i hope to revisit it later and flesh out the design further. 

Raider Overboss (Fallout charcter design).

I was trying to think of something fun to draw for my blog and since I have been playing fallout 4 recently I decided to draw the character I created for my latest playthrough. The entire idea behind this character is to be completely evil because I was annoyed at how the main story forces you to play as a good character.

Anyhow this was a faun piece to draw as i'm still experimenting with body poses as I find I struggle coming up with poses that suit the character i'm drawing. 

Newcastle

Here is a collection of photo's I took while in Newcastle. The first three are from when I  on a trip to The Baltic. nothing at the Baltic grabbed me enough to take a photo but at least I was able to get some photos of the river on the walk back. I love the look of the desolate buildings along the Quayside, they have a very post apocalyptic feeling. I also like how there are spots where old barren buildings are in among the more modern buildings.
The last three photo's are from my trip to the Victoria Tunnel by Shields Road. There are some great places to get photo's of street art around there. I really enjoy the bricked up building I came across with 'Home sweet home' crawled onto the window. Then just along from that I found the Queens head which I just love. I love how part of the face has eroded and someone has filled the space tom make it look very skeletol.

Tali'Zorah 3 marker challenge

My second 3 marker challenge. Again, following on from my last piece, this is just more practice. Im really happy with how the colours ended up working together and like my Mysterio drawing I was happy to do more of the intricate patters. I'm also happy with how the reflections in the glass visor came out.  

My first 3 marker challenge.

More practice with my markers. I started by drawing this character, a sort of Orc/elfish rogue. I then selected 3 markers at random and forced my self to do all my colouring using just those 3 colours. This is also the first time i have tried blending with markers and i think it worked rather well. Other then the 3 coloured markers I also used a white pen to make the warpaint pop more and make the edges cleaner. I'm still practicing but hopefully improving.

Mysterio!

I decided to draw Marvel's Mysterio to practice using my new Sharpie's. This was a really fun piece to do with all the overlapping lines that make up the texture on his suit and the patterns on his bracers. I have also started some other drawings which I hope to try out the 3 marker challenge on. Hopefully limiting myself to 3 colours will allow me to create something striking.

Hello, my name is Mac and I study Animation, Games and visual FX at Newcastle College. I am making this blog to showcase/document my work and progress through the year. This may include anything from concept art and animations to my inspirations and personal work. I may also post photo's from trips I go on if i find something that looks interesting and might inspire later works.

For my first post I thought I would share something from my first year on the course. The task we were given was to create a motion graphic for sony's playstation. Something that captures the brand and is recognisable to the consumer. (made with Adobe Illustrator and After Effects)
