And after a really long self inflicted hiatus I am back to working on Retro Quest.

Long awaited start of a brief swapping project between my friend Tiff and I.
The Brief: Create an illustration of a typical everyday object that
you walk past on a daily basis.
Think of something that you get so used to seeing everyday, so you
don’t typically pay much attention to it.
Once you have decided on your object, do something quirky to it to
make it not-so-ordinary!
Object: The Coffee Cup

An icon for my brother's latest app, skeleton key. Great for keeping track of the many passwords and logins we keep these days...

So now I'm in the swing of my new job, I have a bit more energy to start working on these screens again.
Here's scene 11...there's something suss going on in that background hmm...

And we have scene 5. I am rather proud of my rock :) I'm getting a little better and a little faster each time I do this. And all your encouragement helps too ;)

Hello! So this is production ready scene 4 of the game. (Well to be honest I'll probably revisit it later to fiddle with the ship a bit more but really wanted to show you anyway.)

The human body will never cease to amaze me! Saw this and just had to try my own version.
Stare at the dots on my nose for 30 seconds, then look at a white wall or ceiling and blink rapidly. Your brain will interpret this inverted image into the original colour. Crazy!

So here's initial artwork that will become one of the scenes in my project with my Bro, Retro Quest. A game for the iPhone and iPad based off the old school Space quest games.

I've been reading a lot of fantasy lately (and loving it!) and felt inspired to break out a sketch. Did this in about 30mins, couldn't quite work out the angle of the feet so I just left it up to the imagination :).
