Had a bit of a cold last week and didn't feel much like drawing anything for the mural, getting back into this now. Wasn't happy with my original Rubble drawing, made a second attempt, not sure if it's that much of an improvement but nevermind.

Thanks for the continues support guys. I'm aiming to get the digital draft to a fairly finished state as it's my guide when I draw on the wall. As with the dinosaur mural there'll probably be small changes, some things seem to need a few tweaks when you see them full size. Took a break from...

Added Tracker, Skye and Rocky.

"Arf! Arf!" it's Robo-Dog - From woof sketch to finished item Looking with fresh eyes at the Rubble drawing I did yesterday I've a few issues, the head proportions are a little funky and I don't like the teeth. Might redraw or maybe try to adjust when I put on the wall. It'll keep for a...

Been away from this for too long. I really want to get the digital draft finished so I can start putting paint on the wall. Decided on a canvas size of 4300 pixels wide for the draft. There's no colour harmony needed for this rainbow hued cartoon image so I can conveniently chop the scene up and...

I did end up re-using the first sketch but with sections re-drawn and positions adjusted on the original parts.

Ha! Never thought of that :)

Gaaagh! forgot to take the light switch into account, that was careless of me :). So I'm adjusting the layout, raising tracker above the switch and moving Rocky to the opposite side above Zuma and under Skye. I've also divided the area into 100mm squares, want a finer wall-transfer grid than...

I've heard of Rick and Morty, I'll have to check it out. Experience and skill often makes drawing an unnecessary step.

Worked over the sketch to establish the poses. Still not completely familiar with the characters which is why I need the checklist to count them off as I add them :)

Thanks for the kind words guys, As it's for a 3yr old I want to keep the image fairly simple with clear separation between the characters. What I'm thinking is having the pups sort of burst out from the corner towards the viewer. 10 figures plus the logo with the option to add more later to the...

Thanks for the interest, like the previous mural I intend to show some process steps. Seeing as a fitted wardrobe covers one side of the room, I think the best space is the opposite corner next to the door. Probably going to put PP pups on both sides of the corner. I've been familiarising...

The monitor died on my desktop PC so I've been mostly off-grid for the past few weeks. Rather than replace it I got myself a pen display from XP-Pen. It's only 15.6". At some point I'll need a new full size screen but my puny 13yr old PC is a bit laggy supporting 2 displays (it's been tried)...

These sketches help me get into the form of the object. It feels like procrastination but I seem to benefit from messing about drawing before I start 3D modelling. I know this is quite derivative of my mural image. I seem to have a fondness for these front-on views of running theropods.

Been toying with the idea of making more 3D dinos so I've finally made a start. I fancy recreating the Ceratosaurus/Stegosaurus face off that I did for the mural or at least a version of it. The Cerato is one of my all time favourites, a more primitive theropod than the Allosaurus it lived...

Intriguing. Audodesk and SideFX successfully sell their 3D DCC big hitters on Linux so paid software can be successful on the platform. Linux's small market share is probably the main stumbling block for smaller developers. It's a shame because Rhino3D wold rock on Linux but I can appreciate...

Just remembered I left the Dolphin model on Blendswap along with a Sub-D horse and an early attempt at a Styracosaurus. Anyone can download and mess with them if they fancy, the Styrac is possibly not that useful as I fixed it in an asymmetrical pose (for some reason), it could be used for...

I don't think the Mac's day has gone especially in the graphic and print industry, much of which still considers Macs as compulsory. When I worked in GD studios it simply wasn't an option, you worked on a Mac and that was that. Really though I'm not a fan of proprietary systems including MS...

This one is even older, must've made this about 2009/2010. Modelled in Lightwave and rendered in Cinema 4D (we had copies where I was working at the time). I wanted to have a go with the hair system which had been recently added to C4d. Also I love Leopards. My work computer (an Apple Mac G4)...

Thanks guys you're very kind. Looking back I have a few criticisms, the caustics (refracted light pattern from the water surface) is too focused and defined and should've been a little softer, sea floor is bit grainy also. The fish species is mullet if anyone is wondering . Looks fine to me...
