The Look Out

Fat Cockswain

Ummm, Lord Cockswain kinda let himself go...

Sup Bolt?(Thrower)

Poor blog - so dusty and unloved...

Here, have a music!

Much better.

Gojira, Godzilla, Tomayto, Tomahto.

Oh lookit! Some Godzilla concept artwork!

I barely did anything on Gareth Edward's Godzilla if I'm honest - my mates Christian Pearce and Andrew Baker did the montsers's share (snicker) of the design at Weta Workshop for the big guy himself, but I did devote a few hours and did maybe half a dozen or more early concepts - most of which I've featured here, and are also in the amazing Godzilla: Art of Destruction book.

I've been a Godzilla fan since I was a kid (hell, me and Christian started a punk rock band named in honour of his nemesis King Ghidorah.) so we wanted to keep our Godzilla pretty faithful to the original.

Not that we didn't experiment, but you can see the most conservative of my designs at the bottom here - it's pretty much 1954 Godzilla with mo' scales yo.

I'm not sure why I went all gangster there... anyway...

Some people have said our Godzilla is fat, and it's possible to describe those people with a medical term: morons. These people have obviously never had a good look at Gojira and admired his thunder thighs.

The final design that made it to the movie was pretty spot on I reckon and I'm proud to have played a small part in designing him.

Crunt Fuckly - He Love Too Much

G-Tuned goodness

Just got a new pick-up for my old G-tuned guitar and it's transformed it!

I've had this gat for maybe 19 years and I bought it to replace one I stupidly smashed into pieces during a Nihil show in Hamilton . I took the pick-up from that poor smashed thing and put it into what was to become my permanently low tuned monster.

Turns out that pick-up was broken (duh) and never worked right.

I also never really knew about intonation and the fact that turning down to G means you should really move the bridge back... so I had that fixed recently too.

All that adds up to me playing more gat than ever and loving it.

Me and Christian P plus Ben Hawker are trying to put together some songs for a new band in this super-low and delicious tuning, so I'll post some of that eventually.

In the meantime, here's a rough sketch I wrote and played the other day:

AGM Monsters

These poor little mutants were designs I did for two of Neill Blomkamp's sneaky short youtube clips.

The second one is based on a napkin sketch that Neill drew, so you can blame him for the giant slimy testebags. He's a strange man with strange whims.

The final sculpts were done by my mate and sculpting maestro, David Meng and produced in silicon, painted and hair-punched at Weta Workshop.

Neill just posted this great pic of the props on instagram:

And you can see the two clips they're from below:



If you think these are weird, then I think the next step,  Marvin is gonna surprise even more...

Taillefer - Les Sentinelles - French WW1 Comic hero

This is Taillefer from the French comic series Les Sentinelles.

While my Dr. Grordbort's Exhibtion was in Nantes a couple years back I met Julien Mokrani who's making a film adaptation of the comic and I did a quick interpretation for him of the main character.

Looks like it could be bloody epic, and anything that features robotic soldiers fighting World War One has my vote.

A write up about the film version here at Le Figaro.

Umami Monster and MECHA-HOP designs, for Garage Project Beer

I love making art for beer - it's the perfect trade!

These are the designs I did for Garage Project for their two new, highly experimental beers, Umami Monster (brewed with sea weed, sea water and bonito flakes) and the beer designed to combat it, MECHA-HOP (brewed with refined hop oil, refined yeast and other industrialised ingredients).

They're both pretty full on beers, and have great high concepts behind them. These guys really go to town with the brewing methodologies and stories behind their beers.

Tim Gibson, creator of Moth City took my designs and turned them into beautiful posters, labels and t-shirts, which you can see here.

I recommend both beers, but you might wanna baton down your taste-buds - they're as mighty as you'd expect.

Globzilla?

Gareth Edward's Godzilla is out now, and I'm proud to say I had a small part helping design him.
This, as you may note, is not Godzilla, nor a concept for him, but I post this idle scribble in the interim as I await approval to show actual concepts I did for the film.

Watching Godzilla made me want to dig out all the giant monster inspired pieces I've done over the years - made me think of doing a print of the Faction cover. Hmmm.... maybe I will...

Godzilla: the Art of Destruction, a spiffy art of book, is out now and features a ton of Christian Pearce's, Andrew Baker's and my own conceptual pieces in glorious paper format ~ Pixelised versions on this blog coming soon!

The Loop

Ghidoragh - Dirt Dicks video up.

Oh lookee! A new Ghidoragh video has happened.

Brian, our guitarist made this, although me and Christian whined and complained at him throughout the process, so we did contribute.

You can get the EP on Ghidoragh's Bandcamp for free.

Woof!

Good dino!

Seasonal Telephonic Pixel Twerkage

Oh hey there!
I almost didn't see you, standing there all quiet like. Gave me the bloody heebeejeebees.

Its nice to see you regardless.

This blog needs a little love doesn't it?

I've decided to spruce it up with a few pixelised pontifications created on the pocket telephone during  moments of retreat from the xmas-bourne onslaught of family togetherness.

If you're anything like me, then you love the prospect of the Christmas holidays and look forward excitedly to seeing the families reunited,  but the brute-force reality of it when underway can send you scampering for a quiet corner and a place to scribble.

That's where these pictures come from.

Holiday dinner being prepared upstairs, children giggling and stomping about at high speed,  adults exchanging tales of workaday woes and me huddled away in my little bubble drawing dinosaurs.

Murray Xmas everyone!

Keloid II - extreme robot fappage

The new Keloid trailer is out and it of course, frikkin' owns.

Me and Aaron Beck did a little bit of work for JJ and his team at BLR a whiles back, and it's inspiring to see how it's all come together - the final trailer is nothing short of incredible.

Below are a few of my concepts and at the bottom the final robots from the short.

If you wanna fap over yet more truly juicy Keloid roboporn, head over and check out Aaron's blog.

Travel Scribbles pt 4 - being the final of the series

Well, that Debbie Does Dallas content really went down a storm. The post was even featured in the official Debbie Does Dallas monthly fanzine, so thanks everyone for the support and well wishes.
It's a great feeling to receive kudos from your peers in the film industry.
I hope that these fan art homages inspired by the pioneering DDD sequel, 'Star Wars' connect just as powerfully.

Travel Scribbles pt 3

So, when I watch films or play games, a special kind of synesthesia kicks in.
Some synesthetes confuse colours and smells, some correlate sounds with shapes, some even associate couplings of roman numerals with sexual positions.
But it seems I alone, confuse Matt Damon with a Ceratosaurus.
So I apologise for what must seem to some a tenuously vague artistic connection with recent pop culture.
I present as some form of recompense, these scenes from something a little more classic and recognisable: Debbie Does Dallas.
By virtue of decency I've omitted the more risque moments and focused more on the scenes of character development.

Travel Scribbles pt 2

Boy oh boy, there was a colossal backlash against my GTA5 inspired fan art from the previous post, with some emailing me to tell me that the likenesses were awful, and that Trevor should look more like a haggard hobo Vince Vaughn than a loosely speculative Allosaurus, and I've taken that to heart.
This time I've chosen to showcase drawings inspired by... umm, Elysium... I particularly like the one of Kruger in an imagined and likely scene where he mows the lawn, which he would have had to have done at some point or another between the killings and the punch-ups.
