The Walking Dead: the Animated Series - Rick Grimes

Rick Grimes animated

As a huge fan of the Walking Dead in all of its incarnations (Comic, TV series and the Video Game) wouldn't it be great to see an animated series (for adults, obviously) of it?

Day Of The Tentacle - Animated Illustration

As a kid I loved playing Graphic Adventures, especially those by LucasArts. Day of the Tentacle (or DOTT for short) was the sequel to Maniac Mansion and was the first "Talkie" game I played (this was the first game to have speech throughout which seems like a bizarre thing to mention in todays world, but back then it was a big deal!) 

For those that don't know, the main characters in DOTT, Bernard, Hoagie and Laverne used the Chron-o-John to travel through time to prevent the evil Purple Tentacle from manipulating time to control the world! As you can probably guess, it was a very surreal and funny game! 

This one was just begging to be animated!  The image was featured on Kotaku, Little Chimp Society and the creator of Day Of The Tentacle, Tim Schafer liked it, and remarked "Nice! Probably more things moving there than in the actual game! :)" 
As Bernard would say: "Neat!"

Have fun,

David

World of Warcraft illustration for PSD Tuts+

We were recently asked to create a Photoshop illustration process tutorial for PSD Tuts+ based on Blizzard Entertainment's insanely large and addictive game, the World of Warcraft. 

At the risk of polarizing our audience, although we've played numerous Alliance based characters, Sarah and I always had a soft spot for the Horde; the Undead quests were always much funnier! So naturally we chose to illustrate some of our personal favourite characters from the Horde side of the game including a Sporeling, Sylvanas Windrunner, Arthas, a Tuskarr and the Head of the Headless Horseman (don't ask, just trust me that he was funny!) and of course the World of Warcraft figurehead, the dreaded Murloc!

You can read the tutorial at PSD Tuts+ here

Have fun,

David

Music Star! Editorial illustration for Apps Magazine

This image was an editorial illustration for Apps Magazine for a feature on IOS Apps that can transform you into a music star! With the cool Transformers noise and everything!

Okay, not with the cool Transformers noise. Actually I can't guarantee that you'll become a star just by using an iPad or iPhone either, but then I'm not in the music business.I'm not even a good singer. In fact most cats and dogs tend to get quite angry if I start singing. I'm digressing aren't I?

I've done a few illustrations for Apps Magazine recently, but this is definitely one of my favourites. This image was the one that made us decide we really enjoy working in our "animated style".

You can see more about Apps magazine on their website and follow Apps magazine on Twitter. 

Have fun,

David
