Pod Interface Designs

These are some concept ideas for the computer interface on the escape pod from the pilot show of the same name.


This was the first piece i had done, an overtly complicated design although Punchdrunk did like the large eye in the middle.











This is the only piece i had done with the main character in it. The extendable arm was a piece of development from Desmond Walsh's idea.









This idea was developed through the previous ideas and looking at the space available within the 3D model of the Pod to use. Since the Pod will be fairly small and claustrophobic, the computer needed to be of a certain size.

Ria and Ryan Episode 3 News

I am currently participating in the highly anticipated next episode of Ria and Ryan!



Sarah, Dave and I are writing the Script, and storyboarding as we are going along so that we can get onto the 3D stuff as soon as possible! The above image was drawn By Sarah and coloured by me! As always, all Ria and Ryan images are copyrighted!

Robot Space Pirates Phase 2

I'm trying to think why i have no work posted for this past month... and then i remember I've been working quite hard and forgot to post! Its been mostly work for Punchdrunk, including the Music Video SIF and Concept for POD 003. Here are some pencil sketches of Robot Space pirates that i have designed for POD:



The ideas for the characters 'Legs' and 'Clam' were originally green lit, though now sadly they aren't going to be used. 'Harv', Who is going to be used, is the combination of 'Hal' and another Robot Design done by Mr Dave Bates, as requested by Punchdrunk. 'Mart' is going through a design change as well, but his head will remain the same!

I will post final colour versions of the final Robots when they are ready! These images are copyrighted.

Robot Space Pirates V1 - 'Bones'

This is one of many Designs of a Robotic Space Pirate for a Pilot show of a black comedy called 'Pod'. I've christened him 'Bones'. I Designed a version without clothes so that i would be able to design clothing on top of the figure.



I liked this one so much i decided to colour it. I'm proud of the Skull and crossbones being used as part of the bodies frame, and the idea of a blown off eye representing an eyepatch.

Whether or not the design will be used remains to be seen.

Fleetwood Mac Character Designs

These are Character Designs and 2D Models to Most of the past and present members of the Band 'Fleetwood Mac', which were originally intended to be used in a TV Documentary about the group, put together by Alba International. Since the look and feel of the designs and animations did not fit the mood of the documentary, the animations aren't going to be used. As you can see, the models are ready to be animated, as they have moving joints and props. The parchment texture was also going to be how the clips would have looked. You can see the Test animation here and now you can see the designs of the full lineup here!

These images were designed By myself and the other members of wewantpudding. Full credits at the bottom of the blog post! These images are copyrighted.
