This one was a Colour Jam piece from Twitter ages ago - I really loved doing the colour jams, it was always awesome to see what the other Colourists came up with.

Okay, so I'm going to post a thread now about using Clip Studio Paint, about color settings, ICC color profiles, outputting to CMYK, getting 100% K in your blacks, etc. Technical shit. If you're struggling with this, read the thread. I'll reply to myself here, and it'll take a little time... 1/many

Some pages from I did for the Warhammer 40k Bloodquest Vol I.

Probably my favourite gig to date - I loved WH40K growing up, and it was awesome to get the opportunity to do some paid work on one of their titles.

The lineart is by Colin MacNeil

It took so long to scrub more than 10 years art from my Facebook business page… I wonder why they don’t make it easier to do… Anyways.. all done now. So I’ll focus on here and Cara as my main hangouts.. and tolerate twitter too I guess.
