Moebius by Fegredo

A true visionary who will be greatly missed.

Min-Yo-La by Fegredo

Apologies, I missed the week but thought I'd post this anyway. I think it speaks for itself really, all I can add is an apology to Mike Mignola for the really crappy likeness…

Raw Text by Duncan Fegredo

So next time I'll find a picture of a pretty naked lady and stick to the reference. Not like I did here, start with a sketch and then refer to vaguely similar photos resulting in a bit of a cock up. Oh well, she's too busy downloading apps to realise her bum is broken…

Yes, I know, "It's cracked!", SHUT UP!

Better.

RAY GUNS by Duncan Fegredo

I really don't know what I was thinking of other than bad cos-play, bad dicking around with a perfectly fine movie and wishing I could colour like the über talented Dan Hipp.

Yep, that covers it.

Cosmic Odyssey (Does my bum look big in this?) by Duncan Fegredo

Just sorting through a folio of bits and pieces of started and discarded art, came across this piece from a few years back. Think I'll resurrect it in gouache… also, bonus mermaid and cow girl, I'm just that good to you.

Cosmic Odyssey by Duncan Fegredo

Not a remotely original idea, I know, but it's just one of those images I find very evocative. It's rare I ink solely with a brush, I should do it more often...

Cosmic Doodles by Duncan Fegredo

Its all gone a bit quite around here so here's a page of proto-What Not doodling as a taster to a full Cosmic offering...

Video Games- Super Miyamoto by Fegredo

Another oldy, a portrait of Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Super Mario and many other classics from Nintendo.

Originally drawn for Hey Oscar Wilde! It's Clobberin' Time!!!

Go lookee, loads of your favourite artists drawing their authors or creations.

Video Games- Gamer Grrls 3 by Fegredo

The finished art. Each piece had areas of transparency for overlapping, not that it showed in the printed version… Why mention it then, you may ask? Because I did the work damn it! Grumble, grumble, bah.

Video Games- Gamer Grrls 2 by Fegredo

So, pencil roughs for each character, each being either a standard gaming archetype or my specific take on a character like Lara Croft or Princess Zelda, albeit rather tongue in cheek.

Lara's backpack was originally going to be collapsing under the weight of the unlikely arsenal that all combative game characters seem to be able to lug around. Zelda on the other hand is rather more blatantly sexualised than the anodyne character in the games. For some reason I posed her like Posh Spice, I should be ashamed!

Anyway, the magazine asked that they all be rendered seperately so they could choose how to compose them… not too well as it turned out, it made it a much bigger job and the money was crappy in the first place! Oh well…

Video Games- Gamer Grrls by Fegredo

Apologies if I swamp the blog with game posts, I have a bunch of stuff that really hasn't been seen much…. I may even do a fresh drawing!

I used to be a regular reader of Edge magazine, my studio, along with art supplies, comics, art books etc also housed a complete run to date of the high brow gaming monthly. A shift in geography led to my listing the collection on Edge's forum as free to a good home, which in turn led to me being invited to provide illustrations to an article about women and their representation in gaming culture and the games themselves…. or something like that, I forget.

Anyway, heres my first not terribly specific sketch… more soon if you want it, probably even if you don't.

Video Games- FPS by Fegredo

FPS stands for, as every gamer knows, First Person Shooter. I started this canvas over 6 years ago in my old studio. After a couple of hours (if that), pleased with progress I downed brushes for a break on Halo… and for whatever reason it remained untouched until about a year back when I knocked out the background in white. I was on fire again, enthused, gripped by the desire to explain to the world what games meant to me, so much so I rinsed my brushes and fired up the xbox again. I'll finish it when I get to the next level...

Louise Brooks…Embers…by Duncan Fegredo

So yes, its Louise Brooks, again. Not as creative as the good Reverend's piece, this is merely an iPad painting of a pretty girl from a film I've never seen, repurposed for a non existent flick I refer to as Embers. Or it could be snow. Or, off camera she is arc welding and about to slip in to a lively dance routine in ill conceived leg wear… what a feeling, indeed.

Shut up art monkey, post the picture.

Danger Cute Music…Huh?

I had a sketch all lined up for Danger Cute but never quite got around to finishing the blighter. Instead I figured I'd move on to Music and got down to doodling in my pad, yep, right under the previous sketch.

I liked the incongruity of the two together and now you had better like it too as we're stuck with it. Harsh, I know.

This week I have been mostly playing...

So, I suck. As jazzed as I am to be included in such illustrious company I've been too sucked in to the world of Skyrim to contribute. Skyrim is essentially the digital dog that ate my homework.

So, a week late and neither dangerous or cute...
