Time's a-tickin'

2008-09-30T22:08:00.001-07:00

Well unfortunately of late i haven't had a huge amount of time to do personal work as i've been at my day job quite a bit, and been training (martial arts) 4 nights a week. So it's quite slow at the moment. I have however been working on an Unreal Tournament III Mod called Hostile Takeover 2050 (www.hostiletakeover2050.com :P) on which i've been working as a concept artist and texture artist. I hope i will get the chance to post some of that work at some stage soon, but we'll just see where we're at in development :) Got a couple of pieces i'm TRYING to finish off, but as i said before i don't have a lot of time for it. I'll try to get them done though ;)

Till then...

Zbrush 3

Well i've started playing around with zbrush to try to work some 3D into my folio. Here's my first head :) Few hours of playing around, still got a lot to go obviously. I think i also need to work on keeping my mesh stable, it seems it starts to deform around curvaceous areas like the ears / eyes.

Well i recently uploaded some work for a contest over at the Imagine FX forums which was based on character design. Here is the sketch, IFX version, and painting (minus IFX layout)

I was in talks at one stage with an independent printer down here about doing some tshirt designs. Unfortunately the project has fallen through, but the idea was cool :) Here are some of the designs i had mocked up for the run!

Ouch

Well bugger me it's been a while. Sorry, been a bit flat out down here lately.
Ok well time for an update - here are a collection of a few older works, some basic sketches etc and a couple of other things i may paint up or model. On that note i've just started teaching myself zbrush in the hopes of landing a studio job here in Melbourne, so hopefully i'll be able to upload some progress with that soon. Anyway, on with the show!!

More recent (and a little more serious work :D)

2007-09-12T09:10:00.000-07:00

Here are a number of illustrations and concept pieces done for a variety of projects, specifically around the last 6 months or so. Black and white work is in photoshop, the others are acrylics / oils generally. Over the next couple of months i'll be uploading (hopefully) a lot more of this kind of work, along with sketches that i'm doing / working on etc. So we'll see how we go :D

A few older concepts, sketches and tidbits to tickle the right side of the brain

Here's a few more pieces done here and there over the past couple of years. Concept sketches, briefed paintings etc. Next post will be more recent work!

Scribbles, sketches and other crazy brain sprouts

Here is a collection of sketches and crap over the past year or two. Just in case you were interested in the "behind the scenes" kind of stuff :) A lot of my thought process is just an explosion of ideas really, and more often than not work springs to a more finished state a short time later...

Eek the blank canvas.

Right o. First post. Well as you can see from the heading, my name is Evan Raynor. I am a freelance concept artist / illustrator about to finish my final year of study in the Illustration field. So.... as you could imagine, i'll be posting bit and pieces here, final works, sketches, you name it it'll be here. Of course you could always drop me a line if there was something specific you wanted me to upload.

Well here goes.... to attack the blank canvas
