A test of knight.

2012-02-05T22:32:00.002Z

A test of knighthood.

I'm now coming to terms with the new ibisPaint software. Had a few trials and errors with this one in the process. Again... I am loving the compatibility of videos, images, websites and blogs etc.

Woah get it. I love the compatability between... EVERYTHING! From ipad app to ibisPaint account, to Facebook, to Youtube, to Blogger!

Here is my first ibisPaint video!

Post 1 of MTMT's third year.

I purchased a new stylus... The 'Pogo sketch.'

It is a dream, here's the outcome. A female character from Monster hunter Portable 3rd.

2011-02-03T00:52:00.002Z

Some rough work for a Hit2o strip. I say rough... I think the whole strip will be this sort of quality, fast imagery and black and white.

Shine On You Crazy Diamonds

2011-01-29T01:06:00.003Z

Jones. Again more imagery for Hit2o. Think I have a sturdy story in my head. Could do with sorting it into comic strip format.

This was a very quick image to try and sink my teeth into new ArtStudio app for iPad. I must say it works well and think there is more on offer than SketchBook. Both apps have there pro's and con's.

2010-10-13T00:39:00.002+01:00

Woah, it's been awhile.

This Red Mage was made in Sketch Book Pro for the iPad.
I started with light sketches then added colours and a phat ink line over the top using the layers system. Even managed to upload and post on MTMT from the iPad using Blogpress.

Loving the iPad, it's a powerful tool and a great product.

Added a 'Deviant Art' link on the side bar. It will take you to my page. Give it a try!

:D

HIT2O

2010-08-03T17:28:00.003+01:00

So here it is, a finished image for some cover art for my Water Gun Assassin idea.
I was thinking about calling it Hit2O. Has a ring to it, right?

Shiny Diamonds

2010-08-02T14:38:00.002+01:00

Cover Art

2010-07-26T19:12:00.002+01:00

I was told about some cult game called 'street wars,' or something like that. Players become hit men and have to assassinate others who are registered with a water gun. Carrying a water pistol on me at all times and assassinating people before they realize sounds fun.

Instead of joining though I just decided to draw stuff. So this is suppose to be some cover art for a team of assassins. Will have it finished soon.

Water Guns!

Deviant Today, Art Tomorrow.

2010-07-26T13:52:00.002+01:00

Went and sorted my profile on that piece of shit that is deviantArt. I wish DA would kick people who weren't actually doing anything creative. It's like facebook for some people. It's clogged up with crap.

Anyway... I am http://cordenology.deviantart.com but everything on there is already on here, except maybe some early stuff from college.

Feathers 'n' Spectrums

2010-07-14T17:59:00.003+01:00

Finished!

I'm happy with it, I'm doing no more.

Two 40cm x 30cm canvas, acrylic paint.

Almost!

2010-07-14T15:30:00.002+01:00

Another day another stretch. It's coming on nicely, although alot of time was wasted on something I was never keane on. A few more bits n bobs to do. Feathers and spectrums.

Nocturnal

2010-07-13T14:43:00.002+01:00

Got home from work, felt the urge, needed release, started painting! Going for something epic, something special.

At the moment... A nocturnal theme on two 40cm x 30cm canvas with acrylic.

Stick 'em Up!

2010-07-09T17:07:00.003+01:00

Sat and drew Frankie! Fine liners and photoshop!

Assassins Creed

2010-06-27T11:27:00.002+01:00

I'm not particularly a fan of the series but this speed scribble I did whilst at work.

BIRO!

Sleeve of the Sea

2010-06-22T14:30:00.002+01:00

New tag added: Tattoo

This was scribbled during a short holiday break. It's a working progress for a sleeve tattoo. (Shoulder to mid arm for now.) Oceanic waves crashing and some slithery tentacles.

Needs plenty of work if its to become permanent.

Fathers Day

2010-06-18T16:10:00.003+01:00

A quick image for Fathers Day! Basking Carp, Coi, Mirror, or whatever they are.

Crayons n' fine liners.

Petroleum

2010-06-14T13:05:00.002+01:00

During a short break in Southern Wales I took a series of shots at an old farm which had even older petrol pumps.

Little Red Riding Hood

2010-06-14T12:07:00.004+01:00

Ideas for a new canvas. Little Red Riding Hood. I'm thinking about creating a this on a canvas with deep washed colours and have the Big Bad Wolf leaping overhead.

Crayons for now.

Gunslinger

2010-06-08T19:06:00.001+01:00

I don't know what it is about girls with guns but it's hot and I thought I'd give it a go. Was only a fast image but it's a start!

Saber G

2010-06-07T00:33:00.004+01:00

Had a crack at finishing 'Aikido.' A long sword character from Monster Hunter. I've been meaning to finish this image for months now.

Only the monster, background and after effects remain.

Hello? Listen! This Way!

2010-06-03T16:08:00.002+01:00

Well, I was only gonna do a little bit of it today, but because driving theory is soooo boring I didn't wanna go back. So I finished the whole thing!

Erased the sketched Navi and just brushed him in... looks better.

Tiiiiiiiiiig!!!

(A quick post edit... Added a lighter variation.)

Malestrom

2010-05-25T11:32:00.002+01:00

Started as a scribble/ideas for a new canvas. I continued to work the image with a B pencil and now I'm loving it! Really tempted to switch it to the canvas. Get some nice paints and colours on the go!

Oh yeah!

Brave New Worlds

2010-05-14T21:04:00.005+01:00

Woop Woop!

Now this one was sketched on the canvas god knows when. Saw it today and decided to finish it!

I think it deserves to be touched up and finished entirely... But another time!

Woop Woop!

Spent most of this morning scanning all these images from a lil notepad. I've been scribbling in it alot this year. This is what I've come up with!

One of these is being converted into a canvas!

More Emotion Than Skill

2010-05-07T15:38:00.005+01:00

Well the previous speed scribble certainly did conjure up some motivation. Converted it to the canvas.

This was done really fast. Didn't really know what I was doing either.... That being said, I had lots of fun and love the outcome! Allowed me to really loosen up and just let it happen.

No Matter How Big or How Small

2010-05-07T14:07:00.002+01:00

This is a speed scribble I did in bed last night. I'm gonna start doin more of therse random scribbles. Hopefuly to conjure some spark or inspiration for a possible bigger piece.

This deffinately sparked something. I wanna work this image on the computer now. Some earthly colossus rising from the depths, looked upon by a small girl.

Flying Into The Void

2010-04-24T13:05:00.004+01:00

This is an older image, but I painted in a new cloud scape background. I want to add some stuff on Imagine FX and start a small gallery on there. So I'm touching up a few of my fave fantasy images. Think I'll touch up the Frankie image and the Diablos armour kit next.

I also want to try and enter some of the monthly competitions to see if I can make it into the magazine.

In The Heat Of Battle

2010-04-22T14:30:00.003+01:00

It's comin on now, slowly but surely.

Pretty much finished 3 of the 5 characters in the scene. Not even touched the background yet.
Thought'd upload what I'd got so far, still loads and loads to do.

Updating Done!

2010-04-22T13:10:00.004+01:00

It's the second year of Made Today Make Tomorrow and I think I'm happy with the new look.

Added more section buttons and added more text to the welcome section.

So now you're only one click away from seeing the main sections of the blog without back tracking through the archives!

Woot Woot!

A Quick Update

2010-04-18T17:28:00.002+01:00

So a few things here...

I'd completely forgot that it was recently MTMT's 1st anniversary/birthday or whatever you wanna call it. I'd been meaning to update and tweak a few things anyway, but this gave me more reason to do so.

Firstly... New Banner
Secondly... New Background
And Thirdly... An image on side bar to act as a shortcut link to my favourite sections of the blog... Only one for now. “Caricature” I'll be changing the image soon though... I don't like it.

Other than that, not alot else going on. Apart from a corrupt file scare...

Sand In My Boots

2010-04-12T14:22:00.004+01:00

Now you see a little more. The battle is taking place in the desert. Can't believe how much attention an image like this needs.

Loving it! But still loads to do!

Anyone Got Tranq Bombs?

2010-04-11T21:10:00.003+01:00

Setting the scene a little bit more now, added 3 hunters and a wing.

Still need to do loooaaads! Stay tuned.

Two Horned Devil

2010-04-08T16:59:00.004+01:00

The beginning of a battle scene.

This is a Diablos from Monster Hunter 2nd G, yeah thats right 2nd G not Unite. Take that Japan! And hurry up with 3rd! Heh Heh!

Anyway...
The image is based on a screen shot I took in game. Gonna add some hunters in there... Got a Lancer (Me), 2 Long Swords (Nob n Sqrl) and a heavy bowgunner (Tbo).

Works rather well if I might say so myself. Also... gave the voice acting a shot... More funny than serious.

2010-03-29T16:06:00.003+01:00

Working on and testing Lip Sync's today. These are the different mouth pieces ready for speach.
Hopefully I'll have a vid up with some sounds and mouth movement later.
