Well after a very very long hiatus I'm back again and drawing again. I just picked a new Intuos4 Tablet and some Touch Art Director Felt Pens. I'm getting a scanner again tomorrow. So I'll post up what I've been doing.

I'm currently working on a short film as the Lead Concept/Storyboard artist, I can't give away details but I can share my design work.

 Heres one of my first character concepts that will be in the film. 

 

Anyways till tomorrow, Its good to be back. I missed ya all.

Hang on - 'I'm on a break, so I can get lots of work done' . .. ?  Are we talking moonlighting here?

SKB is great isn't it?  I''m in ArtRage at the moment but can never stay away from Autodesk's pencil for long.  Do you use the custom brush capabilities?  I can imagine you coming up with all sorts of wondrous additions to your already marvellous sketches.
