Hi, I'm Si, an illustrator, character designer and writer.

After many tears creating artwork for games and animation (see more on my website)...

...now I'm moving into full time illustration so I can do more of this :)

Sketchbooking from our little boy's morning's football training. Pretty happy with capturing the movement and poses as it was raining and just above freezing out there.

Gotta do it, whatever the weather :)

Most people draw clouds as lovely fluffy shapes…. But what if they were characters with cheeky personalities, that would be cool :)

Hey, nice pants Luke. The idea came from a tiny sketchpad gag, made me laugh so I inked it up :)

#illustration #comic #comicart #kidlitart #starwars #hoth #art #wampa #ink
An inked comic panel in a cartoon of style of the scene from the Empire strikes back where Luke has been captured by the wampa and is hanging upside down in his ice cave. As Luke is upside down his clothes are hanging down so you can see his red spotted pants - or underwear (depending on uk/us :) ) the wampa is walking into the cave saying 'hey, nice pants'

Oh hi, I've just seen this, been deep in work mode and have just come up for air :)

I'm working on a project of my own (finally) so: writing, 'boarding, sketching, cleaning up, inking, colouring.

I still start with pencil on paper - I'm getting through lots of paper
