Brighton Rock

edenfre — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:46:50 +0000

The last one of the 4 projects I got was to make a 6 page graphic novel from the book Brighton rock by Graham Greene. Ii is a really good book, even though I found myself hating every main character in it… I decided to illustrate my favorite part of the book which is when Pinkie is recording his voice for Rose. If I had had more time, I would have added some more grey-tones, shadowing and fixed some of the drawings. But I feel pretty happy with it considering the time I had.

I liked the Brighton Rock movie from the 30′s a lot, but found it sad that they censored/changed the things pinkie says when he is recording.

How to put a head in the bed

I was supposed to create a macabre “how to” book. So I came up with loads of different ideas, but the teacher found most (all) of them to be to macabre. So I ended up with the tittle “How to put a head in the bed”. I struggled a bit with the art style on this one. Originally I intended it to look a bit art deco, like those old commercials from the 1930′s. You can see one of the finished art deco spreads her:

But due to the lack of time, and seeing how many liked my sketches for this book, I ended up keeping the sketch style for it.

This book will teach you how to place a decapitated head in someones bed while they are sleeping.

I am pretty sure there are some spelling errors in there.

This was definitely my favorite out of the 4 projects I was given.

Hitchcock Posters

Finished all of the projects today! Which means I finally have the time to socialize again.

One of the projects handed in today was a project about Hitchcock posters. I was supposed to make 3 different Alfred Hitchcock film posters. Started the project with watching some of his greatest classics, and after that some of his less known ones. I ended up making posters for “the Birds”, “Vertigo” and “Trouble with Harry”. They were printed out in A2, so they are quite big.

I surprised myself by not making a poster for Psycho, which is one of my favorite films.

Vertigo has one of the funniest endings I have seen in a long time. Where did the nun come from?

I was surprised that I had never heard of Trouble with Harry before. It is one of my favorite Hitchcock films now.

Still a classic.

Magic Monkey Beans – animation finished!

Finally finished it! I feel kind of bad for the monkey in it, but to be fair, he was pulling my face…

Animation update

edenfre — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 08:26:38 +0000

I am still animating day and night, but I am finally starting to see the end of it (Hopefully by the end of this week.). So just to keep you guys updated, I have decided to add some stills from the animation. I LOVE the feeling you get when you are starting to see the end of a project

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Magic Monkey-Beans Background

edenfre — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 16:22:50 +0000

I haven’t really had any time to celebrate Christmas this year because of uni work. Well, I am kinda in control on the other three projects, but the animation is time-consuming. But it is starting to look like something now at least, so I just might be able to go out an celebrate the new year with friends (I was actually thinking of celebrating it with my grandma at one point just to be able to do more work…)

I need to get back to work now, so I’m just gonna put in some backgrounds I’m using in the animation.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, and If I don’t upload anything until next year, Have a happy new year!

Life-drawing

edenfre — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 21:04:29 +0000

So, every Wednesday since this term started, I have been drawing naked people. Some call it life-drawing, some call it drawing naked people. I only had about between 1-30 minutes on these so that is why some of them look a bit unfinished. I don’t mind it though. Find it quite fun to have to draw fast sometimes.

1 min. on each person.

15 min.

30 min.

Don’t remember.

Animation Character sketches

edenfre — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 23:17:02 +0000

Other than the “How to put a head in to someones bed” book project, I am also working on an animation. The assignment for my animation was to play around with mixing animation and live action. So basically, I can do whatever I want for this one! The Title ended up being Magic Monkey Beans. And this is two of the creatures that will be in it.

How to put a head into someones bed confusion

edenfre — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:26:07 +0000

I am currently working on making an artists book called “How to put a head into someones bed”. Which is supposed to be an instruction manual on how to place a decapitated head into someones bed while they are asleep. At first I wanted it to have a sort of art deco style to it. But now I am not so sure, being that most people seem to like my rough sketches more than the more finished ones. And I do kinda like my sketches too.

These are the more finished ones.

And this is the sketch.

Hmm… I think ill focus on some of the other projects for now, and come back to this one later.

Ho ho ho

So the illustration course at Middlesex has made its own special Christmas/advent calendar this year. Everyone drew one day each and I got the 8th of December. I decided to draw a lovely Christmas ho (ho ho).

I have no idea how her top manages to stay in place…
