Hi guys! My name is Gavin , i'm 23 years old and i'm from Dublin, Ireland. I'm currently studying classical and computer animation in BCFE. This year is almost over and then i've one year left. The ambition is to get into visual development/character/creature design. I love doing everything, I know I should probably focus on one area first though! So i'll get this going i'll start back a few years ago and try and get things up to date eventually.

So first up was some roberto ferri studies/master copies

Thanks a million mate I will! :D

This is a project i've worked on, on and off for the past couple of months while in college, it was for one of my classes. We had to design a book cover or page from the classic 'The Pied Piper' so this was my attempt at it and here's the process image. I still want to push it further over the next couple of days and sort out the kids faces on the left.

And this is the latest stage, any feedback is more than welcome i'm all ears
