Illustration – Happy Suki!
Here is an illustration of happy Suki! The artwork was created in Photoshop using a standard brush tool set to 10px and with the aid of a graphics tablet. This took roughly 4-5 hours to make.
At the post production stage I’ve duplicated three layers of the same image and altered the top two blending mode layers to ‘lighten’ and ‘colour dodge’ and added a Gaussian Blur filter on the bottom layer.

Illustration – Kitten
Here is a close up image of the kitten from the previous post with additional post production work done to it. Around 3-4 hours was spent creating the artwork using Photoshop.
To achieve the final look I’ve duplicated another layer of the kitten image and added Gaussian Blur filter by a few pixels and then dropped it underneath the original layer. The blending mode on the original layer was then set to ‘lighten’ which creates a soft angelic look.
Illustration – Tony
Here is an illustration of Tony the Timeless Pocket Watcher and his trusty side-kitten Catsio.
The artwork was created entirely from Photoshop with the aid of a graphics tablet.
Illustration – Lil’ butterfly
Here is an illustration of a friend when she was little. This vector artwork was created using Illustrator.
Pixel – Doctor Octopus Game Sprite
Here is the finished game sprite of the marvel villain Dr. Octopus from the Spider-Man series. I’ve kept the style of design loosely based on the Capcom games.
The body of the character was created first with the shading kept fairly optimal and then the tentacles were incorporated at a later stage.
The most difficult part I’ve found was getting the right contour shape on the tentacles but after getting it right it was fairly straight forward.
