Fan Art Exhibit Celebrates 1st Birthday!

Well what a year it’s been! Really this site all started after Slashfilm wrote an article of my photo manips that I was posting at Deviant Art. As cool as it was to get like 100,000 hits in a couple days the down side was some Neville Nobody decided I wasn’t playing by the Deviant Art rules, promptly complained to the admins of the site, resulting in most of the artworks being taken down. But It was not going to stop me! I decided to start this blog and after humble beginning, I’m pleased to say audience has steadily grown over the past 12 months. I’d like to thank all those who have commented and critiqued my designs, and for the many, many folks who have sent messages of support. More of a look back at the last 12 months after this.

And another new WW concept

Diana vs The Hydra

Kinda like the idea of Wonder Woman fighting some creature from Greek Mythology, what better one than a Hydra?! About 5 hours work in Painter.

Character Design – Artemis

This took me quite some time in terms of figuring out the design more than anything else. As Artemis has never really had a set costume design as it were (except for the trademark long red hair) I took some liberties and came up with my own design for the character. I did get some influence from the Wonder Woman animated movie however, most notably the colour scheme of the character being very similar. I chose Missy Peregrym as the model coz she has a certain edge to her that suits Artemis.

Yet more WW concepts

Couple more Wonder Woman concept illustrations. Working on getting the tone right.

The Aftermath

Birth of Diana

More WW Concepts

Here a bunch of new Wonder Woman concept art I’ve been working on. First one is The Contest, second is WW In Flight and the third is The Street Chase. All done in Painter and Photoshop, probably about 5 hours each.

Wonder Woman Concept – Diana v Decay

A new piece of concept art. This scene depicts Diana about to battle the creature Decay (too long to explain who Decay is, just do a Wikipedia search).

I spent about 6 hours on the piece when sadly a blackout occurred when I was busy doing the final details, this resulted in the file getting corrupted, needless to say I was devastated, however the preview of the image was still being registered by Adobe Bridge, so I took a Print Screen of that preview and painted over the top (the lesson here, always save multiple versions). I managed to salvage it, but still doesn’t feel or look quite the same, but it is only concept art after all.

Wonder Woman Concept – Terrorist Shootout

New film concept, a bunch of terrorists fighting against a military force when unbeknown to them a special visitor flies up behind them. Surprise! You just know their day is about to get much worse.

About 5 hours or so on this, using both Painter, Photoshop and a mixture of different brushes, was going more for feel and tone rather than anything really dramatic action wise.

Wonder Woman Teaser 2

I was originally going to turn my previous Wonder Woman photo manipulation into a movie still but ran into a few brain hurdles, so as a result I’ve just turn it into a new movie poster concept.

Please Note: THIS IS NOT REAL, my last teaser concept was misinterpreted by a few places as being legitimate, (there’s even a Facebook WW movie page using it), also the Website address on the design is for the Animated Wonder Woman movie coming to DVD next year.

EDIT: Slight update to the poster, different spear and aligned the fonts better.

Wonder Woman Concept – Costume in Action

Another Wonder Woman concept, wanted to give a more action pose this time round, Used my previous photo manipulation as the reference for this, I’m probably going to put some sort of background behind it. Model is Cobie Smulders, feel free to use this in your own fan art.

Wonder Woman Concept – Themyscira Burns

Here’s an idea I’ve had for a possible Wonder Woman film finale, massive battle between Amazons and an army of Ares worshipers back on Themyscira with Diana in full kick-arse mode! Took a while to do this, was only suppose to be loose but I started doing fine details out of habit and thus had to finish it properly. I’ve got some other concept idea’s which I’ll do in the coming months.
