Creative Mondays 47 – Simon

“What is Creative Mondays?

Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.

So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”

There are always elements of my experimental work where I start with something and usually end up somewhere else. I love creating robot characters but I’ve never really attempted it in Photoshop. I’ve been working on some really cool “fleshy” eyes for a while and decided to use them as the starting point for my latest creation, Simon. I was initially only going to create a head but decided to add a little more to this guy as he looks a pretty cool character.

Now that I’ve got the eyes how I want them, it’s really time to start working on the torso and also apply some of these techniques to some pre-existing characters! Should be fun!
