Sketches innit

I haven't blogged nearly as much as usual this month due to some 'real life' stuff which has been happening such as moving studios.
I hope to get back to my usual pace pretty soon, but for now here's some sketches which came out of my brain today:

Pyder character re-workings

More character designs for Symon Vegro's wonderful book 'Pyder and the Lost Rainbow' which I blogged about not long ago here.
After a meeting, we decided what needed to be changed about the characters and also which new ones needed to be added to the gang :)

Hugo the Highcross Cat

I've been working on a character design for the lovely people at Leicester Highcross and came up with Hugo :)
Below are some sketches I sent them, but visit their website to see Hugo in all his glory HERE!

Inspired by tweets

I've been feeling a bit poorly and uninspired today, so I asked some of my twitter friends to suggest some drawing ideas, I'll try and do more requests tomorrow, but so far this is what we came up with together:

Inspiration potential: dinosaurs! race cars! rockets! very small frogs! strawberry fields!

(suggestion from @mariosknees)

kind of random but how about a girl going owling...kind of like falconry, only owlry?

(suggestion from @SheepFluff)

idea: the dark side of the moon x

(suggestion from @symonvegro)

something from experience? Something about rum, & lots of it! :D x

Japanese phoenix flying out of a fire but with multi coloured feathers like a peacock

Draw everything you can remember from the top of your head that is in your bedroom. Anything you can't remember, throw away.

Miners :)

(suggestion from @Our_Man_Flint)

You like cats, don't you? Would you like to draw mine? :)

(suggestion by @davesusetty, who then went on to tell me that Pesto Pickles (the cat) likes to eat spiders).
