"Hunting"

This week's theme is "hunting".

And there is nothing more subtle than a sky shark.

And the theme is... hair!

Team Miro is keeping sharp with weekly themes to challenge us. This week it was "hair".

I got an idea in my head that turned into a burning need to be diagnosed as clinically insane. Welcome to the hair landscape! Or, the home of Cousin It.

Rendered in Photoshop. A lot. An awful, awful lot.

Edit: I kicked up the highlights and overall brightness to make the scene look more daylit.

Fashion Illustration


A project showing an existing garment by a famous designer (in this case, a gothic-punk dress by Vivienne Westwood) with our own spin on it.

This fashion illustration was hand-drawn and scanned, then rendered in Photoshop.

More sophisticated traveller...


Guess what country this poster represents?

It makes me want to scream "TOMATOES!"

Rendered in gouache to get that extra big fruity red.

The Sophisticated Traveller

If you're coming here because of the exhibition at Design Centre Enmore, WELCOME!

I'm actually a 3D animator by trade, but since I came from a technical background, I wanted to broaden my skillset by studying design and illustration.

From here, I'm aiming to create my own graphic novels.

Oh, and on the left we see a collage of a Maori dressed in a Japanese Kabuki style, because he is... a sophisticated traveller! I liked the idea but I had no idea how it would turn out. I think it worked rather nicely.

Medieval Cart... eep!


A major project for drawing class, featuring a medieval cart.

So, I decided to show a broken cart with a suspended horse. Because I am like that.

Combination of watercolour and ink.
