Paid work.
I'm extremely proud to have modelled these great toys from Hasbro! It's so rewarding seeing them on the shelves, and they are great clients to work with. Lots more on the way too.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
Personal work.
I'm a big fan of Japanese pop star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, and I was inspired to do this pic of her, featuring an colourful outfit and aesthetic of my own design.
It has a mix of traditional Japanese elements like Noren curtains, Shinto robes, temple bells and ropes, Happi coats and Shide paper streamers, all mixed with the modern idol style and vivid decora culture Kyary is known for.
As well as her imaginitive music videos, I used many photos for reference, like these:

Marielle - summer
Personal work.
Another picture of one of my favourite people - my friend Marielle.
I tried to make it more stylised and illustrative than the last one I did, and make it a full body one with a narrative as well. We both like similar music, and the last time I saw her was at a music festival, so I figured I'd do a nice summery one with a festival setting.
You can check out Marielle's painting work here:

Here are some photo references i used for her outfit, pose, setting and face.
Here is the previous portrait I did of Marielle back in 2013:

Angular Annie
Personal work.
I have always been fascinated with tangents, angles and alignment in illustrations of the human form, and I wanted to try and create a pinup full of these things, inviting the eye to explore it.
It was a challenge, as I forcibly restricted myself to just 4 angles, and tried to make as many things as possible echo and align with other shapes across the figure.
I chose a photo of the model Marie Devilreux as a starting inspiration, and ended up with a homage to the Bettie Page style retro pinup look. I did it entirely in 3Ds Max with flat, layered polygon shapes.
Special thanks to Maria Picassó - Illustration for her inspiring great work and advice!

Kitty Kay - Got milk?
I did another latex pinup of one of my favourite models - Kay Morgan.
It was relatively quick to do since i already had a rigged model of her in a more basic version of this environment from the last pic I did of her in 2013.

Quick tribute to the brilliant Kyu-bum Lee Art and Animation's original character for his birthday.
I enjoyed doing this. She has some interesting shapes and a nice silhouette - especially on her hair. Kyu has a great eye for distinctive character design and is one of my favourite artists.
