The Illusionist

Hello Bloggers!

Ive been a bad blogger recently, not updated in months and wasnt planning on updating for a while, at least not until my work/life balance returns to normal. Not to mention the fact that Ive been enjoying what I can of the Scottish summer!

But I have something exciting to share - some new screenshots of the film Ive been working on for the past year and a half, Sylvain Chomets', "The Illusionist"

For more pictures visit http://www.catsuka.com/news_detail.php?id=1245949383

Its looking beautiful eh? Wait till you see it moving... it really is a work of art.

Anyhoos, I hope to post some new work soon, once Ive finished on this film and can lead a normal life again haha

Until then, hope everyone is well

Ken :D

Dedicated to...

For you Grandpa.

You will be missed.

Postcards for sale!

Hello!

Last weekend I was at a small convention at the local university (www.d-con.org.uk) showing my work and selling some postcards. Was a good day, met lots of cool people and saw lots of cool artwork!

Anyway, I still have postcards left over from the day. See above!

So if anyone is interested, I am selling these postcard packs here. This includes 9 different cards featuring old and new artwork, and ill doodle and sign one of them! 

Im selling them at 4 GBP, which includes delivery, both domestic and international

They are approximately A6 in size (They were all cut to slightly different sizes, dont know why the printing people did that!)

So if anyone is interested, drop me an email at contact@nethken.co.uk and I will send an invoice via Paypal. Remember to include name and address!

I have about 20 sets left, so first come first served!

Hope everyone is well out there

Thanks to everyone who has been stopping by these past weeks, Ill be sure to reply all your comments and check out everyones blog when I get the chance!

Cheers

Sketch

Hello!

Just a quick sketchy thing I did... trying a more stylistic approach, drawing with shapes etc instead of painting. Its a lot quicker to develop something this way... for me anyway

Butcher and animation

NOTE: For some reason my images are not linking properly - to see them full size please right click and view image!! :D And if anyone knows how to solve this problem, please help me!

Hello!

First off, thanks to everyone who gave me their feedback on my animation, its been really helpful. Ive edited the timing on it so far, but havent redrawn anything as of yet, Im working on it though!

Also, another drawing I did (the butcher guy) Its a bit unfinished, but I was getting bored if it. I may go back and tidy it up however..

Hope everyone is well!

Ken :D

ps:... I just realised, that the butcher and my animated character look remarkably similar! haha! same hair and everything. Thats how unoriginal I am.

Something completely different...

Hello!

I had the urge to try my hand at some animation - not done any in a LONNNGGG while.

This is my first test, in gif format, so its not perfect to see timing etc, but it gives an idea.

 If anyone has any advice on how I can make improvements, please let me know! Would love to hear it

I hope 2009 is treating everyone well!

Ken :D
