You what?

The Enormous Blogodile is now on the Youtube: www.youtube.com/user/EnormousBlogoVision.
It's like a lower quality vimeo at the moment but it could be used for different stuff later on.

I've put a thing on the top right of the blog with links to all the other blogodile caves and my email address for if you want to email me an email. I've also added a load of other unnecessary shit which you might have noticedbye

Day 22 (Something You Miss)

I did this one to look a bit like an advert:

I haven't had a proper drink all summer just a few occasional beers. Smirnoff Black is amazing.

This is a mixed media piece combining rich matt paint on walls, photography and digital text and imagery. Perhaps surprisingly the original photo was not adjusted or altered at all apart from the addition of the logo.

Depending on your point of view this picture took between one and nine hours to complete.

BYE!!!!!!!

1000... 1000 views ah ah aaaah

The Enormous Blogodile is proud to report that we have paid host to over 1000 views this month.

Day 21 (Something You Want)

I want... to see The Streets live...

because Mike Skinner is one of the best.

Done mainly with digital airbrush with Mike in digital "worn oil pastel".

Not much else to say, I'm quite pleased with it although I did rush him a bit.

Day 20 (Something Orange)

Phew, finally caught up with them.
Here's today's (yesterday's now) offering:

It's a pumpkin with some carrots in, in case you couldn't tell.

Like most of my pictures it looks better from further away. In fact when I uploaded it the thumbnail was a lot paler and desaturated and looked a bit better, but too late.

I tried a new medium, "Tapered Gauche" this time, and it's cool because it hides the fact that I rushed this one a bit by looking like it's supposed to look rushed.

There's some other materials in the background.

Two thirds of the way there now!

OKthinkthatsitbye

Update: Tried upping the lightness like the uploader thumbnail. Looked ok small but just looked washed out close up.

Day 19 (Something New)

Yesterday's picture done today as I spent most of my drawing time yesterday painting my Dad's bedroom:

It looks slightly odd. It's the exploded diagram of my Dad's new Dyson Ball hoover.
It reminded me of Shigeru Komatsuzaki's illustrations of Thunderbirds and other awesome sci-fi stuff (http://pinktentacle.com/2010/06/sci-fi-illustrations-by-shigeru-komatsuzaki/), really love his stuff.
I reckon the hoover parts look kind of like a space ship...
Hopefully Day 20 up later.

Day 18 (Just a Doodle)

After the runaway worldwide success of Day 16 I did another animation:

Day 18 (Just a Doodle) from Oliver Elliott on Vimeo.
You're welcome.
Veteran Blogodile fans will remember the Super Mario image from the early days (http://theenormousblogodile.blogspot.com/2010/01/itsa-me.html).
Bit of an audio glitch at one point by the sound of it but plllllllp.
Days 19 and 20 up laterz.
Bye

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

OK I did another animation today and managed to get it finished in time to upload to Vimeo before I leave, however my laptop is boiling and 74% into uploading I decided to open another tab which crashed chrome meaning I have to upload again which will take over half an hour (it's quite a big file) + the hour they add on for whatever reasons.
I thought about uploading it with the blogger video thing so you could see it but I think I'll wait until Sunday and get it in the best quality.
Sozzers but it gives you more time look at today(yesterday)'s pic and something to look forward to on sunday LOL.

Day 17 (Favourite Plant)

This is yesterday's, had a few things to do in the day so didn't have time to finish it:

This plant doesn't exist. It a combination of a Weeping Willow and Snapdragons, which do exist.

The leaves are digital oil and the petals digital chalk.

I'm very pleased with this one already.

Hopefully Day 18 will be up later, if not there's a chance it, and the next few days, won't be up for a while as I'm going to be at my Dad's and possibly busy for a few days after that. 

Anyways enjoy.

Bye
