Zombunnies Line Stickers

There's a set of Zombunny stickers you can use to spice up your conversations on Line now.

I'm not sure what the UK usage is but I know Line is big in Japan and the rest of Asia.

Treat yourself to the sticker set - it's only 69p. That's bargain!

Zombunnies on Pop Jam

Busy week last week: I've been putting together a Zombunnies channel for Mind Candy's new venture. Pop Jam. It's kind of like Instagram for kids but with a doodle feature. It reminds me of the work we were doing at FaceParty ten (gulp) year ago and, by the looks of it ten years too early.

I've done work for Mind Candy and Moshi Monsters on and off for years. I was right there at the start, some of the original trophies you could win in game were designed by me and I really like the company - even though they insisted I do an art test when I was applying for freelance work there last year - with my credentials! Pride got the best and I refused.

But we're all friends again now and it's a pleasure to be involved with them once more. Especially nice is to be working with old time friend Ed Harrison of What What who is involved in the running of Pop Jam and who I last saw in real life in a rainy, boozy evening in Shinjuku a couple of years back. That's how cool we are!

So if you know some super cool kids, point them to the Pop Jam app and get them following the Zombunnies. I have big plans for them!

Tower defence

 Here are some designs for a tower defence game I was working on. Sadly it was aborted, which was a shame as it played pretty well.

 Here are some goblins, the typical troop character of the game. I was going for a cute but deadly vibe.

This ogre would be the more defended muscle character. I was messing around with textures but the sprites would have been minuscule in game so you'd have never seen such detail.

 I really like this mangy feline warrior. I don't think anyone else on the team did though.

The most fun was designing traps for the troops to blunder into. The garden level was a particular favourite.

Original Zombie Zoo Sketch

I've just been doing a bit of a computer cleanup and going through my old files I came across this. It was the original sketch for the characters for the AussieBum Zombie Zoo designs. You have seen what it ended up as in previous posts and if you want to buy a pair get yourself over to the AussieBum shop pronto.

AussieBum Zombie Zoo underwear

Here's my latest designs for my old pals at AussieBum. They wanted animals, I wanted zombies and we compromised somewhere in the middle. You don't need me to tell you this again but you can buy them online at their lovely website and they will ship them out to you for free. Have a look here and get yourself the set.

Hallowe'en

Hallowe'en is a strange festival. I like the spookiness of it and what it stands for in the ancient ways - but somehow together it all seems wrong and really tacky.

Never mind - I drew a few monsters and that to celebrate and I'll be dressing up tomorrow to scare children.
