The Rubber Golem

The Rubber Golem is a mysterious modern elemental, that first appeared locked inside a container full of the rubber ducks which make up the vast majority of form. Its origins and creation are entirely unknown, with many sometimes wild theories explaining as to how it got in the container to start with and from where it gained its lone space hopper head piece. Since its first appearance the Rubber Golem has completely vanished, becoming nothing more than a modern myth, with only the occasional rubber duck left in an obscure location to remind the world of its presence.

Bone Calcibus

The Calci are a colonial race of microscopic semi-corporeal entities that gather together in the trillions to form the Calcibus, a powerful hive mind which acts as a single voice for the colony, and as such is often viewed by others as an individual entity. In addition to this the Calcibus has the power to incorporate inanimate objects into its body, to create a projective shell for its occupants, and as means of further interacting with the corporeal world. Dozens of myths surround the Calcibus, with many cultures mistaking them for ancient golems and demonic guardians of the underworld.

The design and inspiration of the Calcibus came form some recent animal skull studies I had been doing over the last month (which I‘ll post at a latter date), as well as the mythology of the golems.

I designed the Poala to be a race of telepathic crystalline entities, that can control their technology with their computer like minds. In addition to designing the Poala I also wanted to design their homeworld, Prema Zan. Inspired by the new concept of dwarf planets (Plutoids), I decided to base the design of Prema Zan on the real world dwarf planet Ceres, a dwarf planet found in the solar systems asteroid belt. Stylistically I took a slightly more cartoony approach with these artworks.

A slightly more experimental piece, this battle scene was originally drawn as a very rough pencil sketch then scanned into Photoshop were it was coloured,  edited and sharpened. This piece features my Mulood “Fungus Creeper”, a creature originally designed as a dungeon dwelling demon, rather than a Kaiju. However I liked the design of the Mulood so much I decided to reuse it again here.

Although I normally colour my artwork in Photoshop, I spent allot of my time while studying Graphic Design New Media creating Flash animations, therefore I felt it only appropriate to shown some Flash based artwork. This character design is a cartoon version of one of my favourite animals, the Black-winged Stilt, a crazy looking wader bird with ridiculously long bright pink legs. Here its equipped with a fog watch to time the changing of the tides.

These four alien creatures where designed by initially taking small attributes and features from common UK garden birds then splicing them with other animals and humanoid characteristics. Creating this hybrid collection. These illustrations are some of my earliest portfolio drawings, and some of the first images I used when experimenting with digital painting in Photoshop. It was from these that I started to refine my artistic and working style.
