LADY REND-VEIL

Lady Rend-veil,  I call her now:
This character has been kicking around for a long time and this is the latest version created for posters etc.
You can find various sizes of posters, prints, etc on DeviantArt and RedBubble,
Shirts, hoodies etc on both RedBubble and my Spreadshirt RUBBERGIBBON shop
and Mousemats and other gubbins at my Zazzle RUBBERGIBBON shop.

As I explained in my art book, she is a digital image that began with a pencil sketch of a face that was then expanded into a full-length character using Photoshop.

RUBBERGIBBON!!! (That's my Zazzle Store, Now Open!!)

Do you like my background pattern and think it would look good on a tie or a mousemat? So do I!! So I'm trying to have a stab at E-Commerce!!
This time, I've opened a Zazzle shop from which you can buy various items with bits of Tony Hough artwork on them: Mousemats, iPhone covers, T-Shirts and even Ties, for pete's sake!.
I've only just started it so there's not a huge selection yet: Just something I'm trying to see how it goes!!
I've put a bar that links to it at the side of this blog. so please pop along and have a look! And I'm open to suggestions about further possible products or even alternative sites or suppliers you think might be better....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This grim fellow appears on a few things. I've used a variety of designs that've been looking for a use for a while

 

 

 

 

It didn't cost anything to set up the store and I don't expect it to be a real moneyspinner or anything....but it can't do any harm, either!

EARTH GODDESS

This digital painting was based on an earlier acrylic painting with a long history: starting with a pastel and airbrush sketch (yes I often mixed those two media!), later overpainted first in oils, then years later in acrylics. I was fairly proud of the original, but this digital version  is a whole lot of better: Better perspective, better scale, better colours and greater detail all over.
I'm thinking about releasing her as a full sized poster using a print service such as Peecho sometime soon.

Warhammer 40K Anniversary Celebration Paintover

As I mentioned in my previous post, as a celebration of the 25th birthday of the Warhammer 40,000 game universe I have been creating a full colour paintover of one of my 5 original drawings which appeared in the first 40K rulebook back in 87 - not in an attempt to update this image to fit the present-day canon of that universe, but to re-present the original image in a new way. I had a lot of fun with it, so I hope you all like it!! The original appears below for comparison. (Click the images to see in their entirety)

Meet AYA

Just completed a character/cover design for a friend of mine's self-published SF book currently called "Tauran Warrior". Author Lucy Luton wrote this novel when she was just 14 and recently rediscovered it on a floppy disk she'd thought she'd lost! There is a version currently available here.

Aya, 16, is a Tauran warrior – trained since childhood to follow orders and kill without compunction. When she meets a rebel soldier from an enemy planet, she starts to question everything she has known.”

Fighting Fantasy pics in colour!

In my spare time I've been creating full colour versions of some of my old Fighting Fantasy Gamebook illustrations. The paragraphs I illustrated for the books had to be done in a short time and under the constraints of a clear, easily printed black and white pen style. Why stop there? I wanted to have some fun and develop some of these images further, especially after I got my lovely Wacom tablet. Here's a couple of recent ones: The Conjurer and Felice is from Spectral Stalkers, by Peter Darvill-Evans, my first Gamebook, and the Giant Behemoth is from Bloodbones by Jon Green, my most recent one.
