Jack - Rabbit Mage
Unfinished final image for my rabbit mage. Due to a power cut I completely lost this image and tried to finish it last minute. Will continue to develop it before the degree show. I've lost some of his 'cuteness' and will try to get that back.
Goblin Fairy
Quick sketches of Goblin characters
I really struggled with the hair on this one as I didn't have that much experience doing wavy hair and especially in bright colours. I used a tutorial on hair and I think I learn a lot on how to put it together. I also have trouble with backgrounds but I tried to keep it simplistic and I think it works quite well. I would have defined the snail better as well as the wood in the background had I more time to work on it. The anatomy of the back was very tricky to get right and I still don't think it's quite anatomically correct but I think it's okay.

Animal sketches
Try to work out how to get these three standing next to each other. Plan to look at pictures of famous trios, such as the three musketeers, to get a better dynamic between them.
Quick rabbit warrior sketch.
Here I started planning outfits using a tutorial from digital tutors.
I began using shapes to create different looks.
A comic style sketch of one of my characters.
A colour outfit sketch of Biscuit, using some of the ideas from my prior outfit sketches.
Another sketch of one of my different characters but I don't like it so much. I struggled with using red light and I think her outfit doesn't blend well with the era I imagine them inhabiting.
A more finished piece on my rabbit warrior, due to a power cut I lost a LOT of detail on this and another piece. I'd love to add more details to this and get it to a stage of completion. I'll continue to work on it after hand in.
Rabbit Rogue Lines
Inspiration boards for the rabbit project including photos of my own rabbits on whom the characters are based.
From this quick sketch I chose the image on the far bottom left to develop into a finished piece.
Rabbit rogue lines in progress. Here I am going over a secondary sketch and refining them in black.
I picked out a basic palette and blocked them in using references to similar coloured rabbits in the black and tan colouration.
I started adding shade and a gradient. I worked on the armour to get a leather like texture.
I started softening the edges of the fur here as well as working on the details such as feathers and beads.
Here is my final piece with a close up sans lines of the face to show the work with fur textures.
And the final piece with lines, which I decided at the end it looked better with after working without them for a while.
My David
Concept art banner that a housemate asked for to do for her grad film. Here are other options I looked at.
