Hellooooo!
Hope you all had a great weekend! Was a ripper here in Melbourne. Mid 30′s both days and quite hot. Beer weather. Mmmm. Downed quite a few on Saturday let me tell you that. Our house was thoroughly warmed! Even the cops rocked up – so you know its a good party when they make an appearance. Teehee. Well we’re really not that wild – I think we just have uptight neighbours…considering it was barely even 10pm. Overreaction much?

So…Today’s sketches are to do with Concept Art’s Character of the Week (CHOW) comp. This week it’s all about Jousting in 2706 AD. Think futuristic steeds in zero gravity. Now I’m pretty hopeless at drawing armor and all that so I’ll see if I do alright. Might be a bit challenging but that is the point of CHOW. I drew some horses from reference off iStockPhoto and the last one is the one I think I will use. The first is really awesome and dynamic but would be exceedingly difficult to draw a rider on.

Thoughts on the last one?
I have to add a shield which will have a crest and/or sponsor on it. I can use the family crest for that
Plus, draw a lance and all that biz. Hmm.

Well – I promise if I don’t get too shitty at this I will bring back some colour to this blog.
