pnate - not at all man, thank you. :) I'm sorta redoing my portfolio atm, so if that one makes the cut, I'll revisit it. The paintover's disappeared off photobucket now though (I saw it when you first commented). If you see this, any chance you could send it to me? Much appreciated :) Haha, I'll keep that in mind, cheers dude. :)

Still in Vietnam (Hoi An now). Travelling and working is pretty sweet so far, even if I don't do quite as much work as before, and I don't do quite as much "travelling" as some other people. This seems like a pretty good compromise. Only one little hiccup so far... I've been working on a Cintiq Companion and it's been amazing. And it was being amazing right up until the point it stopped charging. In a coffee shop. In Vietnam. Massive hassle getting it to Singapore to have it repaired, but long story short, I had about 10 days without a machine. Luckily I hadn't taken on much client stuff (didn't want too much pressure while I test the water on this travelling thing) so not a total disaster.. But still, pretty annoying. Anyway, it's fixed now, but that should explain all the sketchbook stuff in this post :).

Sketchbook stuff first. Sorry for the shitty photos. Couldn't fit a scanner in the backpack ;)


























































Concept art stuff

Finished that Pilot


Process


City Environment


And just started this tank. I kinda like how it looks now, but I should probably paint this lines out and clean it up a bit.


Illustration Stuff
Studies I never posted


Internal Illustration type thing. I dunno.


And playing around with layout


Bonus photos of some of the places I've been working (more actual work being done in some places than others). I don't want to clog my sketchbook up with this stuff, so this is just a few. Feel free to follow me on Instagram if you wanna see more of that kind of stuff :)

Coffee shop


On the floor in a different coffee shop


Airport, waiting for check in


Beach - not a lot of work going on here, if I'm honest ;)
