On time this year. Here's one of the final scenes of Revenge of the Sith. Hope you like it.

Previous drawings from 2012 and 2013.

Happy Star Wars Day!

June The Ninth Be With You

I missed May the 4th this year so here's something to make up for it.

Plo Koon is a top Jedi.

I always thought that in the films he should have had a yellow lightsaber like he did originally in Jedi Power Battles and came close to giving him one in this but decided to go for the blue in the end.

Almost at 20,000 views so will do something cool when that happens (maybe a Congo War Child video update). 

Bye.

Star Wars Day 2012 (Darth Maul)

 Just a quick drawing to warm up for the massive amount of drawing I have to do over the next week. As it's May the 4th I decided to do a Star Wars-themed picture so here's Darth Maul (probably the best thing about The Phantom Menace). Might do one every year!

 Also my amazing girlfriend bought me a Lego Boba Fett clock (click the Star Wars label at the bottom of this post to see my other Star Wars stuff including a sketch of Boba!): 

 More stuff coming soon byyyyyyyyeeeeeee and may the force be with you.

March 2012 Update (with added Star Wars)

 Hello.
It's been too long since I posted anything and I've lost the knack of starting a post with a load of bullshit so I'm just going to post pictures and tell you what they are etc... (Don't forget to right-click > new tab if you want to see the images in full resolution)

 I decided to add a lightsaber to my graduation photo and it received a massive amount of positive feedback on Facebook (I graduated last year with a 2:1 with hons in Computer Games Design):

 Then my friend Dan of Toxic Games (creators of Q.U.B.E) asked me to do one for him! I'm in the Q.U.B.E credits as a tester! My first credit in a game :) It's a great game and you should definitely check it out. You can find it on Steam and loads of other places.

 Similar stuff again here although a lot more recent. A friend asked me to Star Wars up some photos of his brother and nephew, both of whom love the films, so here they are. I'm very happy with how they turned out and they are probably some of my best photo manipulating in Photoshop so far:

Jack

and Jamie

  Next up is an image I have only finished tonight. It's a Photoshop painting of an angry parrot, created as a promotional image for my friend Steve aka Phrazer for his soon to be released track 'Angry Parrot'. Visit his Soundcloud and listen now!

 This last picture is a WIP of a creepy Mario drawing I am slowly doing. I made the mistake of posting it on Facebook as it is here and got some really positive feedback meaning that I decided it was good enough like this. I really want to finish it though:

 In other artwork related news I had my first potentially paid commission for a website header but it fell through and they used their own design. I was very happy with the work I did and it showed progression in my design skills but I won't be posting the work on here as it might act as promotion for their website and basically fuck that. I learnt quite a bit from the experience though which is great!  

 Finally my two housemates (Pete and Ollie) and I have been playing a lot of multiplayer Minecraft on the Exiled Gaming server and have made some really cool stuff. We have set up a Youtube channel for videos of our adventures on the servers as well as some up-and-coming building instruction videos by me.

 Here's our first video. I'm blocodile and I don't have a mic (subscribe, like, comment, share etc):

 Hope you like what I've had to show. Hopefully Blogodile droppings will become more frequent again soon. Please like, follow, comment and all that stuff if you feel like helping me out :) 

 Bye.

Car Wars

 Check this out if you like Star Wars/the environment/cool stuff/Greenpeace/clever branding and marketing.

Basically I barged into this without learning the facts but I don't care.

Give it a go.


More drawing soon. I've been busy playing Deus Ex 3 and sorting out moving into a new house but I'm going to get on with it tonight.


BYE


P.s. Here's a picture of Darth Vader I did as one of the first things on my Wacom (Intuos3 A4) about 2 years ago:

Bit of drawing practice

 I decided I really need to practise drawing again and was particularly inspired by Feng Zhu's incredible design videos.

 I thought I'd post what I've done so far over the past month or so, it's not much but there you go.

Here's one of Boba Fett in a simplified costume: 

 

  I was planning to draw Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button and after Lewis won the German grand prix I drew him. I couldn't be bothered to draw Button but, as he had a great win the week after, I might come back to it. I was going to do a more detailed drawing but thought this looked cool:

 

 Finally a quick drawing of Gaz from Modern Warfare, great character design and voice acting as ever. Unlike the other two this is a straight copy from an in-game screenshot. I'm still trying to get my photoshop brushes nailed and this was practise for that, among other things. 

 

 Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think. BYE
