Soul snd Sigil

Another little Game of Thrones piece! Dedicated to the tiny badass that is Lyanna Mormont.
I'll be doing print tests soon - I think this'd work as is at A3, or cropped to be a taller, thinner piece. Maybe in a 18"x10" frame?

Oooh! Or t-shirts.

By the way, please excuse the name I've started putting on images - it just makes things a bit easier to identify and track when stuff gets shared online . If I do decide to sell prints of this they'll be hand signed, not with the name added like this.

Here's a bit of behind the scenes image progression in case that's your thing...

Wildfire

Hello my lovely loves!

Here's a little piece I've had in my brain box since the last season finale of Game of Thrones! I've finally got it finished.

That Cersei. She's such a good baddie.

Enjoy!

Close up. Crush those enemies, girl.

Commission backlog

Hello again!

For a while I've been doing commissions for various Children's text books. It's nice work; varied, fun and usually a bit of a challenge - as you can probably tell from the interesting mix of Christmas, Shakespeare scene and lederhosen.
I wasn't actually sure whether the publisher's would be ok with me putting stuff up here but I checked with my agency and apparently it's absolutely fine so here's a couple of pieces from the backlog!
I'll most likely put a few more up in a week or so (providing I remember lol) so...

See you soon!

Hannah for the Hub!

Incredibly exciting! I got to go on a TV show at the National Film and Television School called the Hub and do a live piece! They made me a massive board to work on - 6ft by 3ft - I started at half two and finished it on the show at half 5. I was so incredibly nervous, especially about the interview part but it went really well.

I really like how the piece came out (obviously looking back the next day I can already see things I'd change lol) but considering I was trying not to pass out from anxiety I'm pretty chuffed.

I've never really worked this big before, or really in this way (colour first, then line) but it's actually really fun and I think it works for my work. Maybe I'll get the chance to work like this again in the future - I certainly hope so!

This fellow is done in a mix of emulsion, acrylic and Posca pens.

I'm still waiting for the footage to put on here but I'll keep you updated!

See you soon!

Work In Progress - Henry VIII

Hey hey lovely people!

Here's the sneaky peek I promised you into the work I'm doing for my MA project! This jaunty Henry is going to be part of M's page. Yeah, you guessed it... Matrimony! Definitely his favourite thing.

I wanted to wait until the page is done but every time I look at him I giggle a little bit so I had to share it with you.

Enjoy! And see you soon!

The Jellyfly Cometh!

Hey hey!

Behold the jellyfly! Arch nemesis of the butterfish! And also one of my many aliases.
Explaining this one is pretty difficult, but suffice to say that the type of conversations that *this* came from make me very glad to be working where I am.
Also, I want this on a t-shirt a little bit.

Antlers

Hey hey!

Something a little different to my usual - I feel it incorporates the way I work from observation to the way I work regularly on full pieces from my imagination. I had fun doing it anyway!
This is pencil coloured and arranged on Photoshop. The only real problem I had with this piece was the sheer amount of options I ended up with colour and tone-wise. Narrowing it down was not easy, especially as I had quite a strong red in mind for the background. I think I prefer this though.
Drawing inspiration both from my visit to the Museum of London and the amazing costumes on display there and some rather fantastic comic books artists I've been looking at recently.

Let me know what you think!

H-Bomb and the Palindrones

This is a little piece I promised to a friend; a poster of H-Bomb and the Palindrones, a fictional band we made up after deciding a nickname suggested to me sounded like the lead singer for a rock band. Find represented Punk (in H-Bomb herself), Glam, Metal, Grunge and Pirate (yes, it's a legitimate rock sub-genre)! If you come up with names for the others then let me know!

More faces!

Some more little face designs. I think the top one is some kind of private eye.

Cat

The cat character from the story I created around Superbaby (you may remember him - he's at the bottom of the superkids post in June 2010 - http://hannahradenkova.blogspot.com/2010/06/super-kids.html).
As you can probably imagine, this cat is completely unimpressed by SB.

Oo! And 40 followers (yay!).

Spy

A little sleuthy man. I like him. He is stealthy.

Dogs, Dogs Everywhere

Here's another little piece I did for Bright!

Working on a couple of children's stories at the mo, and trying out some new textures! Will update soon!

Plans

Just a quick update on happenings...

My meeting with the publishers went well - so watch this space for developments, and its looking like I'll have an agent pretty soon as well, so more updates on that when the process is a bit further along.

Also, my website is having a few changes in the gallery areas. Instead of scrolling through images, it will be based on thumbnails to make everything a bit easier for the viewer and so new work is easy to find. 

Obviously until that's finished, no new work will be going up in that section, so I'll be putting some on the blog just so you know what I'm up to!

One for you here - more character design...

Found a quick sketch of her in my portfolio so I finished her off. She's a pilot, so she's called Amelia. Ink and digital textures.

See you later Illustrators
