Catching Up

Been a long time since I've posted, but then earlier this year, the cancer returned to my dad and chewed him up. He died March 7th and I really haven't had much of an inclination to post since then.
Anyways, heres a bit of a sketch-dump of bits and bats I've been doing this year. There are some larger versions of some pieces on my DeviantArt account.

Star Spawn (Experiment 2 Results Part Two).

Experiment 2

Okay, so for this experiment, I asked my friends to provide me with a 'straight on' (mugshot) style image of their faces, which i was going to merge / manipulate into one new face, and then begin to paint on to produce something in the style of HR GIGER.

Sadly, in 48 hours I had only two responses. Here are Jack and Lyall's submissions:

This however has allowed me to produce two different pieces. Below are the first roughs / thumbnails of the works - both of which I intend to complete by 09/04/2012 and upload both here and DeviantArt.

With Lyall having a beard, the direction soon took a Lovecraftian turn, and we now see him as a Cthulu-spawn.

With Jacks image, I opted for the Gigerism I initially intended - using stock images to create randomised patterns to play upon - giving it a biomechanical edge.

Please stay alert to see the final pieces when they are uploaded.

Edit:

Some Kind of Lovecraft...

Whilst having massive frustration at having to retrace (for a second time) the entirety of artwork I have done for a commercial poster, I decided to take a break - and filled it with the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

This is the end result.
