Simply Stupendous!

The Frostiest of Punk

A little while ago I was commissioned by the fabulousness that is The Stupendium to paint a portrait for their next video project - a stupendous and dramatic music video to celebrate the release of the game 'Frost Punk 2'.

For those unfamiliar, 'The Stupendium is a UK based musician, animator and content creator, creating weird, wonderful and usually incredibly nerdy songs and music videos.' 

So if you love video games and love funny, quirky, poignant, dramatic and surprisingly heart wrenching music videos about video games with top tier wordsmithing... check them out!

The Stupendium YouTube Channel

They also have neat merchandise shop where you can purchase prints of the frosty version of my painting featured in the video and lots of other cool things.

I had so much fun painting this, and I am thrilled at how epic the video turned out.

Go check it out!

It's been a looong road...

 

Raleigh Samson

... getting from there to here.

As they sing in the theme song from Star Trek Enterprise. And boy has it been a long time.

It has been been over two years since I finished a personal piece. I actually started this one in order to test a Xencelabs Pen Display 24 for work. It's a wonderful piece of kit, and so not my thing. What can I say, drawing on screens just doesn't do it for me. So I returned to my tablet and pen to finish it.

For your consideration... My take on Raleigh Samson from the Dragon Age games. Oddly topical since the next Dragon Age game is coming out soon.

I do love taking tragic characters who have had all the worst luck and give them redemption and a happy ending. Which is exactly what is happening here. Look at him all smiling and recovering from Lyrium addiction after having joined the Inquisition. Boy gone done good after all.

A sketch from 29 Faces back in Feb. A bit of soothing tonal work in this crazy time.
