[alf_to_the_rescue]

Having just found this part of the forum I thought Id put some of my work up, a mixture of personal and course related stuff working in various mediums and various themes. All comments are welcome. Stuff will go up as I can get it/finish it/make it etc. Areas of interest and work include illustration, graphics, 3d design, animation and film.

These are great, quite a variety of mediums indeed!
Welcome to the Showcase, I hope you stick around and post more.

How did you do the first two - drawing with a tablet on the photo in Photoshop?

Thanks dude, my uni course is pretty varied so I have to work in 2d, 3d and 4d areas. Umm, the first two were using my graphics tablet in Illustrator, just some simple vector shapes and lines over the photos.

Some illustrations I completed for some stamps, based on promoting Northern Ireland in a new manner. I never used the cross, felt it looked out of place with the other images. The top image is a "Millenium Milepost". I based the images on landmarks, bothe old and new.
