Sherlock Nouveau : Irene Adler

bexlee — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:54:36 +0000

I am a fan of the Sherlock series, and i’ve pretty much been dying to do some art work surrounding it. I haven’t had much time but then I thought, jesus christ, make some time. Who needs sleep anyway? I’m going to start this series with Irene. I loved her character in the series, plus I think Lara Pulver is a great actress.

A quick detail in the early stages!

Here we are so far. I thought the beaded ‘gown’ she wore was gorgeous. It still is, it’s just I don’t think my skill as of yet is good to show you it! I’ll carry on a little later but so far i’m really liking it. Apart from her feet, hobbit feet are not cool here.

I didn’t like the pink, so I just tinkered around with the colours and composition.

There we go! She’s all done ( I think….)

In case you fancy buying some work, i’ve got them as usual up on redbubble. I even added an iPhone case too!

Geisha of Fo

I was having a quick drawin sesh on The Drawing Script and was progressively attempting many poses when a beautiful geisha like pose came up on the screen by Marcus J. Ranum.

So I though I might try something with it as a pose ref!

Chell – Art Nouveau Portal

bexlee — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:41:36 +0000

Okay guys. I wanted to do a Portal piece (because i’m dying to get my hands on a copy of 2 but unfortunately lack of money is the deciding factor here).

I’ve got a choice. Chell’s had two outfits and now I can’t decide which one I like more.

Any and all opinions welcome!

Catwoman’s day off

Just some mucking about with Photoshop, decided to do a sketch of the Cat because I saw this photo and used it for a ref!

Enjoy!

I made a shirt you can find here!

Alice in Wonderland: Mad March

bexlee — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 19:41:19 +0000

What happens when I see something awesome? INSPIRATION MY FRIENDS.

Recently watched the rendition of ‘Alice’ on Syfy and loved the fresh take on it. If you haven’t watched it, seriously. Check it out.

They re-invented a lot of characters with my favourtie being ‘Mad March’ the Assassin for the Red Queen.

I loved the idea so much that I decided to do a little painting of him quickly in Photoshop!

An example of what happens when artists go exploring

bexlee — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 17:01:02 +0000

Okay guys so today was a day of exploring and photography, both of which I haven’t done much of in ages.

This gallery is just SOME of the photos I took (there’s a load more but i’d probably be dead by the time the uploader would get them all working)

Of course with fellow artists Liz Sterryand Katy Woodgate awesome things were bound to happen.

The rabbit just so happens to be Liz, who is a model and does fantastic work. Katy’s photography and artistic work is also fantastic and if you want to check these gals out (and lets be honest, why wouldn’t you) just click through to their names.

Liz’s modelling work can be seen here!

Kicking Butt with Comic Shoes

bexlee — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 19:01:32 +0000

So this is what happens when I have a pile of old comics I got from the market and a pair of £15 wedges that although I liked didn’t really feel like they were really ‘me’.

So after reading this: http://imgur.com/a/GUYaF#bDjch I was inspired !

So I cracked out the PVA and started cutting, and this is the process and final outcome!

Final Piece.

So i’m nearly finished with all of these (have a poster to start on) This is the one I got round to scanning. Due to it being my favourite.

Enjoy and hopefully i’ll have the poster to post soon!
