I realise we need some context here. I was going to summarise it, but the context for this is only a couple of hundred words long, so get ready either for some scrummy world building or to scroll. Harriet, the Halfling girl who met them earlier, was still at Reception. The thick red book detailingContinue reading “Visual Diary – Did you… find any girls?”

Paddington – Tom Kerridge Coloured
Doing this has made me realise two things: one, that I am an illustrator, not an animator – and two, when I animate, I can make it look pretty bloody good. Other things I’ve done is import that big pavilion background into the working file (with the four crops), and put these frames (but transparent)Continue reading “Paddington – Tom Kerridge Coloured”
Sewing Project – Old Shorts
One of the big presents I got for Christmas this year was a sewing machine. I’ve handmade a few clothes and items in the past year – my jester’s shirt most notably, and my cloak – and hand-sewing is incredibly time consuming. Today I threaded it up for the first time and messed about withContinue reading “Sewing Project – Old Shorts”
Visual Diary – Christmas Posts!
I took time this year to create some posts to acknowledge my work in 2022. This took the form of two posts I created in advance on Christmas Eve and one I drew on Christmas Day. This first one is actually a redraw of a Christmas post from 2016. This final one was the oneContinue reading “Visual Diary – Christmas Posts!”
Visual Diary – Vampires
Spending some time up in Southerndown this Christmas bought back the Vampire universe in my heart. The Vampire universe was born right after I visited my dad last July, and was in full swing in mid-August when I was moving house. We can take a Freudian dip into my sudden enjoyment of permanent, unchanging statesContinue reading “Visual Diary – Vampires”
Visual Diary – Switching Off
Just sketching up a few examples of Antonia spacing out. Each sketch is from a different universe. Themes of comfort and moving hands.
Visual Diary – At the Inn
This one was sweet. Drawn to heal the heart. Still in the fantasy AU, where Ludwig is nearly two feet taller than Drake because he has giant genes.
Paddington – Tom Kerridge Shot
Today I woke up with fear in my heart, but after a morning of work I’m feeling good, loose, happy and I learned a lot! I learned how to manipulate video in Photoshop and to export as a series of images. This will be hugely useful to me with any frame by frame animation IContinue reading “Paddington – Tom Kerridge Shot”
Paddington – Mad Laddington
Cool for everyone witnessing this project thread to get to see my neurons die in real time as the words “Paddington Bear” weave themselves into my thoughts in any way they can. Prime examples are of me calling Roderick “Paderick Roddington”, me trying to say I had to blog paddington but instead trying to “PlagContinue reading “Paddington – Mad Laddington”
Visual Diary – Bound?!
Ever since I drew the Bound reel for Drake and Ludwig – a sweet, loving thing – I’ve wanted to create a sister reel for Mitzi and Antonia that just epitomises silliness and chaos. I took the same audio as before and added a bunch of dumb noises at the end. Again, I challenged myselfContinue reading “Visual Diary – Bound?!”
