Screen printing and DIY Kit creation!

I have been busy creating DIY kits in uni as part of my current project! Here are a few photos of the process of creating a test creature to see how well my kit works from a consumer's point of view... I am made up with the outcome!

SCREEN PRINTING

So, today I have been busy screen printing some fabric in preparation for a mock up DIY Kit that I'm in the process of designing!

A few product mock ups using my illustrations and patterns & a couple of bits I have had printed using sublimation...

Final Surface Pattern Designs

Here are my final surface patterns... My favourite is the one which incorporates my handy fish illustration!

Pattern Design Time!

Started designing some surface patterns incorporating my final illustrations. I need to draw up some more extra layers... Busy Busy!!

So far...

My Final 6!

So I now have my final 6 Surreal Illustrations!
I scanned them in today and edited them digitally so now it's onto surface pattern design...

OCTO-HAND!!!

Just been working on one of my Surreal Monsters!

Not sure if I am calling this one 'Done' yet - It has turned out how I imagined it when sketching out my initial ideas, but it may need a little something more to finish it off...hmmm

Testing out some pattern ideas...

Time Lapse Drawing

Thinking of adapting this drawing I drew over the summer and incorporating it into my project...

Here is a time lapse of my 3 Eyed Man:

THE BEGINNING

Hi,

I have just entered into the third year of my Illustration degree, so it's all engines go!

This blog will act as a notice board to keep a log of my progress and to promote my work.

Up until now my work has primarily been focussed on Stop Motion Animation and Model Making, but I aim to branch out during my third year and try my hand at more Character Design and Surface Pattern Print Design. Exciting stuff!


Here are a couple of my illustrations:
