The return of Timperley Childs

I was talking to a friend the other day who was saying how much my style had changed in the last 10 years or so. I like to think he implied it was for the better but he refused to be drawn on the subject. So I thought I'd take a character I designed when I was working for him back at the turn of the millennium when the British video games industry was at its peak and compare it with how I'd draw it now. Sadly I couldn't find this character on my computer but I know I have it somewhere on a postcard and will scan it in when I find it but luckily she is burnt onto my mind so I can easily remember how she looks. It is, of course, the amazing S.P.A.N.K. agent Timperley Childs.

Also as an extra bonus I can show you the various stages of the design process as people often ask me how I create such amazing characters (of course they never do). You can follow the stages and even see a couple of different types of shading styles right down at the bottom there.

Sketchbook page

Some people treat their sketchbooks reverently, keeping all their ideas safely stashed away in a pristine collection. Not I. I've streamlined one today, throwing out all the rubbish and refining the rest into a specific book for my current big project, which is going to be ace, thanks for asking.
But before I cast this book into the recycle bin I thought I'd scan and share this gem for you. Pigs dressed as Link and robots, Bubble Bobble characters, a flamingo and a lion. Happy Easter!

Sketch of a dog with a funny head

My dog's got no nose.

Well how does it smell?

Awful.

I did a little biro sketch on the train the other day and I quite liked it so I coloured it in on a computer so that I could put it on here. I don't know what I was thinking as I absentmindedly doodled it, but the rest of the page was filled with pictures of rotting animals too. They were all pretty rubbish though.

I am the King of the Sea

By Posedion's beard! I noticed this little doodle done in biro in my notebook the other day. I quite like it so I've scanned it in and coloured it up.
