Lil' Monster Modelling

Returned to Maya to practice some modelling, based on a quick doodle sketch of a little monster creature. The translation from 2D to 3D isn't quite there yet...But more to come!

Hippo Illustration

An animal study turned into another photoshop experiment - today I was practicing creating aged  retro styles using the halftone technique. I ended up trying to make a 1950's esque science book of some kind. I included the process condensed below

Pen Tool Experimenting

Earlier today I finished the Art-of book using Blurb and has been ordered!

Business Card designs

I've been working on putting together some business cards - I am currently thinking of using rendered stills from the koi and the crane as the front. 

Ive also made a sheet of 'back of card' designs, but i've settled for the pink one as below for an example image for now.

 Also am unsure wether to use several designs, or go for 1 single business card design.. Below are the designs so far
