How Lemmin gets to work


Quick study of a Hezrou in artrage. I have the D&D figurine on my desk (christmas gift from Amy), with the addition of a scarily happy Lemmin Kainen riding it.

Samus - Bounty Hunter



Started this before the weekend. Probably my last Metroid thing for a while. 1920x1200 here

Parallaxin'

So the brush setsposted a few weeks ago were created with a specific project in mind;- This site. It's a work in progress, but let me explain what's going on here.

If you load up the site and resize your browser window horizontally, you will notice a lot of the illustration elements slide along independently of each other at different speeds, in what is known as a parallax effect.


The client requested this functionality after seeing the technique used on a previous project that I was commissioned for, Reisa Elva. This time around, instead of computer generated toon-like illustrations, I chose to approach this project in a more traditional manner, with a watercolor style illustration.

Parallax sites as a whole are a fun gimmick (easter egg?), that hopefully people will at least find by accident.
