New Concept Art 'The Last Pillar'

2010-03-25T17:54:00.002Z

Here is an example of a piece of concept art from an animated project called 'The Last Pillar'. I was inspired by the bulging storm clouds that I witnessed up in the Mournes this winter. The clouds were heavy and dark blue, they collapsed over a ridge called, 'The Devil's Coach Road'. The image illustrates the following lines of the film's narration, '...and all they knew were heavy clouds pressing, red tinged above new born earth wounds...'.

The New Digital Painting

It shows the protagonist entering upon a 'lonely and curious country', after 'taking the wrong fork at the junction of the Aylesbury Pike just beyond Dean's Corner'.

The game's setting is futuristic, but incorporates the magical creatures from the original, fantasy themed Dungeons and Dragons. The creature in the hull of the space ship here is a Beholder.

Still patiently standing by The Script

2006-07-26T16:45:00.000+01:00

It's still called The Script as the name hasn't come to me yet. I've been working on this script for the past two years with my bro and other entities. It concerns the fate of McCance, Mike, Barry and an extra-terrestial or 'Out-there Brother'. All on one friday night in a small town, located where the world doesn't look. The story is coming through slowly. But patience is required with this one. It's like an evasive pike.

Current Projects

2006-07-26T16:34:00.000+01:00

Currently storyboarding The Million Souls, a UK Horror Feature; the more you think about this script the more complex and the more of a paradox it becomes. It's complex, conguring up those dark archetypal images. It has intelligent dialogue that surprises with humour in the most unexpected places. This script leaves you with thoughts as to whether the happenings are all psychological or supernatural!
