Priscilla Queen of the Desert

Went to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert in London today. Went as part of an 18th birthday present for one of my friends. I've seen the film version which is extremely funny, however the show was amazing. The bright costumes and the songs capture the audience' attention and gets everyone singing along.

The Shining and The Terminator

After being told by Tom I was going to watch 'The Shining' it finally happened. I've watched it. Was a pretty good film, though I did find it a little creepy. Don't think I'd look at an empty hotel in the same way again.



Also watched Terminator as well. Thought it was pretty good, though I've been told that Terminator 2 is better so I'll be watching it to find out if it's true.

Concept Art Piece 3

Another image to go with the other conepts.

Creature Eye Updated

Added this ontop to give the image more depth. I rather like how it turned out.

Rough Concepts 1

Now taking my rough thumbnails into Photoshop. I added the lighter orange coloured texture over the top of the sketch in the first image. The second I used my water coloured clouds which is my banner image and put the darker brown one over the top of those. I duplicated the clouds a couple of layers and then flipped them to make them more randomly spaced. They don't really have much definition at the moment, but I don't want my images to show a 'definite' object etc. I'm after an abstract look so that people can interpret what they wish to see rather than what I want to see. Though I may add more depth to the bottom image as it is I feel a little too abstract.

Like the image below doesn't really give very much information away, it does give a small hint into what cold be happening.

Texture Practise

Had my paints out the other day and to be honest I'm not sure where these were leading to.





When they were painted I only half had the summer project on my mind. Hence why they're fire colours such as red, yellow and orange etc. Other than that I think my inner child simply surfaced (it always does when painting for some reason). I'll be using them though for textures as I rather like how they've turned out.

American Werewolf

Watched American Werewolf the other day and well, I thought it was ok.



The effects for the era were ok, lots of fake blood etc. The dead guy who is stuck in limbo was pretty cool. Liked the way his body started to rot away. Other than that I wasn't entirely keen on the film. It would be one of those that I'd watch to say 'seen it' but other than that I wouldn't really watch it again unless someone wanted me to. I was also unimpressed by the ending; it felt rather rushed to me.
