Squinting at my unfinished drafts...

Alex A. Breed

Face number five. The return of Marshal Breed with his killer squint and his dusty, dusty poncho. Perhaps once day I shall finish writing my western with this delightful leading man. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

Reflections in the moon light

Boba Fett

For the second face I thought, perhaps I'd save a bit of time by not painting any hair. I didn't. But I did have fun painting my favourite bounty hunter. Boba Fett at night. With a little sprinkle of stars.

Resident Scientist

Luis Serra Navarro

The man, the myth, twinkle toes, pretentious bastard colleague, my favourite idiot... you know... Luis.

'Goodness knows I saw it coming, or at least I'll claim I did.

But in truth I'm lost for words.

What have I done?

It's too late for that.

what have I become?

Truth is, nothing yet.'

Cloak and Braid

Raleigh Samson

Well, it's only been a year. Have another Raleigh Samson. Here he is on a little excursion in the Emerald Graves. His Lyrium addiction now only a faint memory. 

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. 

The Stupendium Store

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

Go check it out! 

THE ARK & THE TINDERBOX | Frostpunk 2 Song!

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.

Just a whole lotta love

 

co-captains

I process things I love by painting them. And boy, oh boy, am I processing right now. 

I love this show. I love everything about it. And I love them. My favourite co-captions. :-)

Million mile stare

Boba Fett

 Another one of Boba contemplating life in the moon light.

One of those days

Boba Fett

Just a tired, ex bounty hunter contemplating his life decisions in the moon light. (and me standing just off screen, two thumbs up shouting 'you're doing amazing, sweetie!')

My name is Boba Fett

Boba Fett

So I finally watched the Book of Boba Fett. And let's just say that if you don't enjoy talking about Boba Fett's dusty desert pyjamas and Temuera Morrison's delightful freckles, then you're probably not going to get much meaningful conversation out of me right now. Woof. ;-)

Like an Abba music video

 

Mama Mia

Not sure what is going on here. Well, I mean, they're twins, but that's all I got.

Inconvenient earrings

 

Trois

Face number three for the 29 faces.

Small, pointy ears

Face number two. Wohoo.

 Face number two for the 29 faces. I enjoyed painting that neck. :-)

The Dickens

Charles Dickens

So Dickens take a, Dickens take a bow. And heaven knows he's miserable now. 

Aaaaall the faces of February 2021

Video compilation on my Vimeo channel. 

It's been a blast everyone! :-D

He's bad

Emperor Nero

... so baddie, at badness he's the daddy.

A magical moment has occurred. I give you my 29th face for the 29 Faces challenge. This is the first time ever in all the years that I have taken part that I have managed 29 faces in 28 days. I'm so happy! 😁

Not just a hop, but non-stop

Wilbur and Orville Wright

Their engine's small, but powerful. Propelled to a great height!

Alexaaaaander!

Al the Great

Alexander is his name, Macedonia's most famous commander. History calls 'The Great' but he prefers 'The Greatest'.

Henry VII

Henry VII

He's the original Tu-tu-tu-tudor. Father of that dynasty. The man who closes the War of the Roses. That's right, that's right, that's he.
