Ancalagon (First of the Fire Drakes)
He arose from the inferno pits of Angband like a storm of wind and fire as a last defense of the realm of Dor Daedeloth

"The Morween"

Have you seen "Outlander" if not its a great movie and you should see it. This guy is called "The Morween" who is the creature bent on vengeance. I wanted to sculpt this one because it was a bit different and the skin and the tail would be a challenge. I spent a lot of time on the small details on this one and had considered butchering some of the kids night lights and use them to make the red lights that appear all over its tail and body in the movie. Maybe nextime.

The Green Gargoyle

I really liked this guy someone gave me a picture of him and I though I'd give it a bash and try and mimic the skin (which I did using bark off a tree) I used green to paint him because when he was grey it looked to much like a bulk produced resin statue.

"Go The Tigers"

I decided to try something a bit different from what I usually do and and after making a Melbourne Storm Artwork for a commission I thought the Tigers Logo would look great in 3D. I sold it within a few hours of showing it off when I finished.

Beckhams Dragon





New Client New Job, Boss at work wanted a dragon for his son. Had to be a "realish" looking dragon and had to be purple (favourite colour). Had a great idea with tree concept. Worked real well and decided that purple stripes might look better than a totally purple dragon. I'll have to find a better way to do the skin as it took me hours to roll the little balls at random sizes and put them on, anyway here is "Beckhams Dragon"

Gears of War Lt Carmine




This was for a Fan of "Gears of War" that I work with. He is a character from the game "Gears of War" called Anthony Carmine. I got a chance to use my new turquoise paint with a thick lacquer over the top for the armour. He supplied me with a few images of him and his armour weapons etc and I was quite happy with the turnout.

Blue Dragonfly

This one was a present that someone wanted for their cousin who loved Dragonfly's and her favourite colour was blue hence "The Blue Dragonfly".
I did a lot of experimenting for the wings as I really wanted some see through wings with the veins showing. I ended up with some thick plastic and some thick black 3d paint and of cause a nice stick.

Drinking Leprechaun



Another Job this time some one wanted a Leprechaun. He had a picture of quite an aggressive one drinking a large pint of Guinness. Used some special dyed Cotton for hair this time. I would have put him in a nice big dark green coat but the picture had him in a vest with his sleeves rolled up ready for a drink and a biff.

Buddah Wall Art








I had a hankering to do some more wall art and got a friend to describe the area she wanted to put the art and also what she was into. Mostly it left me with free range. As it was for outside I can up with this. The Buddha was painted with gold paint and then again with an ageing solution to darken the gold and to try to blend it in as much to the black background I made. I really enjoyed making this one.

Fashion

This one was some thing new for my wife's office , She is in the fashion industry and showed me a few ideas off the Internet and this was my first attempt at canvas painting. I really enjoyed doing this one and it gave me a taste of a different style of art. I'm keen the have another go this time maybe some sort of abstract buddah or face.
What do you think.
