I’ve been experimenting with various software as I embark on doing regular arty type videos. In the future I’ll be posting work in progress videos such as sketches and paintings showing how the artwork progresses in stages.

Mouse-X Poster art 2
Here’s one version of part of the artwork for the Mouse-X film poster I’ve been working on. It’s been great working on this project and I’m looking forward to watching this short film when it’s complete later this year. Here’s the link to the website again Mouse-X
Mass Effect Felicia Day oil painting
I am pretty much finished now. Here’s a close up of the repainted face which I am now happy with. Felicia has been through many faces and hairstyles to get to this point π
Looking at the canvas it’s impossible to tell what has gone on in the previous layers of paint. I had scratched off any build up of dry paint from before so it’s all smooth.
And here’s the full painting.
The painting continues… Felicia Day Mass Effect painting

Update 27/03/13 the work done on the face is starting to be worth the effort now. Still not perfect, too happy looking at the moment but the likeness is getting closer.
(EDIT: 07/04/13 What the hell was I thinking, this looks nothing like her… please look at the final image to see improvements :D)
I have a few days off from the day job which I am using as a finishing off week. Felicia day Shepard from Mass Effect is a definite to finish this week in time for the Geek & Sundry 1 year anniversary. I shall be adding the G&S logo onto the armour before it’s finished. Anyway you’ll notice the face has changed again slightly as I’m still not happy with it. Getting better now though.

Mouse-X Poster art
I’m working on a piece of art for the Sci-Fi short film Mouse-X. I produced the storyboards and concept art for the film last year. Since then the film has been shot and is currently in post production.
I have been asked to do the poster art based on the original concept piece I did with the main character peering through a large man size mouse hole. The new artwork needs more detail and needs to resemble the actor who plays the main character Anderson.
Here is a section of the work in progress and below that the original concept art. The film has it’s own website now Mouse-X website

Latest update number 14. Fireballs painted into the sky 3 days before the Meteor flew through the Russian sky. Not saying I predicted it but… π Work done on the gun and armour also.
Latest update number 13. Distractions have kept me away but I’m back and close to the finishing line. The most fun part for me is finishing off the painting with detail and lighting. I’ve started on the armour now.
