The beginning of the end

I've just ordered my book off Blurb.com and fingers crossed it arrives before my deadline! Unfortunately blogspot has turned on me and I can't upload ANY of my final images in my book, so for now you'l have to imagine what they look like... but I did manage to upload the front cover. Which has no real title. I was going to name it after the title of the Alexander Mcqueen collection, but then I found out it was actually named 'Untitled' which I wasn't convinced would make the best title for my book. Anyway watch this space, I may one day actually be able to upload my jpegs of my final work.

150 Drawings Later..

And I've finally started working on my final images. These are a little preview, there going to change (hopefully for the better) but I'm starting to find the style I want and actually started enjoying it! Lots and lots to do, it's just dawning on me how little time is left, and how much I don't want to leave. But I've been a bit obsessed over the past week, I've started having dreams about photoshop needless to say I'm looking forward to my easter break. And if anyone would give me some feedback I'd be grateful...

Front And Back

Here are the index pages I did, correlating the designer and my drawings, along with a foreword (like they do in real books!) and I made a cover, as it turns out, hardback covers have to be black with the book makers I went to. Boo.

Snow Queens

New theme alert: snow queens, I took my inspiration from Narnia, and kind of ran with it, these are more ethereal then anything, but I liked the idea of creating images of strong icy women with a bit of a wintry twist. But as always let me know what you think. I'm having to up the speed on wrapping the project up so I may not post much for a while. But this term is now coming to a close, and it has been a challenging one to say the least, for many reasons, but the one thing that's kept me going is how much I've enjoyed the drawings, (and the thought of going home for christmas!) So I hope I'l do them justice when it comes to getting the final thing together. So here's some snowy drawings for the festive season!

The Final Tribe

The title of this post is slightly misleading, this is not infact the final collection, I still have a few more images to finish. But this is basically how they will look once their in the book (I might change up the sequence a little) I could have waited till they were all done but I'm at different stages with all the themes so it's difficult to blog up to date with these things. Anyway, as usual please let me know what you think now they've all been colourised (photoshop is getting the better of me!) I would love to hear your thoughts/ suggestions, more posts to come....

Who lives in a house like this?

This is my final layout for the dolls house Ted Baker project. The actual house looks a lot better then in this image but it gets across the layout of what the shop window would look like. Overall I'm pleased with the house, it's quite big in scale and it's my first step into 3d model making. I will be adding more detailed photographs of the interior and the finished thing soon.
