inkygoodness Beermat Character

Seems like this was done ages ago but what you see above is a lino print that i had made for inkygoodness' beermat character exhibition which was held in London not too long ago.

The general idea involved here was to produce the work onto a beermat which did have some challenges due to its scale.

But because of this using a more hands on approach seemed to be the best COA and so when with a combination of using paint, a lino print and some posca pens for added effect.

Great fun and its got me thinking about maybe doing some more hands on type of work to mix things up a bit.

Alternate Ending Piece - Well Give the Man a Hand!

Been meaning to put this piece up that i had done for the Silver Screen Society's Alternate Ending show at the Bottleneck Gallery in NYC.

Anyway here's my take on an alternate ending for Robocop while instead of trying to kill each other, Clarence decides to throw Robo a surprise party at the old steel mill instead.

Initially the plan was to make this all in the form of pixel art kind of like aping the arcade game released at the time but this changed after finishing the "I'd buy that for a Dollar' guy as it would take some time to make and that i'm still a bit new to the pixel art scene.

Personally I think that going in the direction above has actually worked better with its light hearted and playful nature.
