The Slenderman / Slenderman - 2014


I have always had a fondness towards the internet boogieman, The Slenderman AKA Slenderman. So it was only a matter of time before I did some fan-art and my version of the iconic image. Slenderman lives.

The Ninja of Vehemence- THE DEADFLEASHCULT - Textured speed paint.

I really wanted to make a super group of characters with the idea behind it taking Japanese style prints of actors. My love for things that tend to rot and a new way of attacking the digital painting side of things. I use a technique I adopted from learning 3D animation and "texturing" my concept. This makes the skin appear more legitimate and overall. More rotten. Here is my second character The Ninja of Vehemence.

The Puppet Sorcerer - THE DEADFLESH CULT - Speed paint

I really wanted to make a super group of characters with the idea behind it taking Japanese style prints of actors. My love for things that tend to rot and a new way of attacking the digital painting side of things. I use a technique I adopted from learning 3D animation and "texturing" my concept. This makes the skin appear more legitimate and overall. More rotten. Here is my first character and mastermind of attack THE PUPPET SORCERER.

1) Main texture 



2) Decide on a colour palate 

3) Basic colour added texture and minor light source / shadow
4) Match colours to suit using hue and saturation
5) Work on minor details
6) Add more shadows and detail to add depth.
7) Slight adjustments with the colour / hue.

3 versions of the same piece. In card, Facebook quality and instagram quality.

Demonic Zombie back breaker - Scariest pose

I am a massive Horror fan. But in learning animation there is not to many jobs in the macabre. So for the past few years I have focused on drama, thriller and children shows. Currently working with one of my favourite New Zealand death/ thrash metal bands

Horror is actual one of the hardiest genres to do, but I was unaware of this.

I wanted to do a very difficult demonic , spider walk style pose. Something I had not drawn before.

I wanted to do a quick(ish) study ( 7 hours ). This was something I had wanted to draw for about three months. Final I had problem solved it my head. I love Jacen Burrows and his work. His line style and characters are just rad and very scary.

Here is the end result.
