WELCOME TO THE SITE


Welcome to the Southern Graphics website. If it's your first time then you are very welcome and if not, then welcome back. The site, as you'll very quickly see, is a place for me to display my artwork and offer up my meager services. I am a freelance artist based in the Northwest of England (UK) and I specialize in creature and character creation. I work with a range of mediums including pen and paper, digital painting, digital 3D sculpting and the more traditional sculpting with polymer clays and resin.


ABOUT THE SITE
Line

This site has been online for over twelve years now and my galleries includes artworks that are even older. I post most of my personal work here at the site and in my Flickr gallery. My studio is at my home in Cheshire and I do most of my work from here including carrying out some training.
The bulk of my commissioned work is 3D modeling for game, illustrations and tv. I use a number of 3D packages including Cinema4D, Maya, ZBrush and Silo. I use Photoshop for 90% of my digital 2D work and alternate with ArtRage and Sketchbook Pro as needed. I sketch almost every day and favor a Moleskine sketchbook with grid lines. I like to work in pencil with Faber and Castelle Aquarelles being a favorite of mine. I also use markers, ink and acrylics as needed. I sculpt in Super Sculpey, Fimo and Wax and sometimes use earthenware clay.

CAN I USE YOUR ART AS A REFERENCE FOR A 3D MODEL?
Line

Almost certainly yes! Please email with a request and what you intend to use the artwork for and permission is usually given. Where possible please provide a link to this site. Some of the art within this website has been created for a specific job or client and copyright may belong to a third party. Wherever possible I have indicated this.

ARWE YOU AVAILABLE FOR COMMISSION WORK?
Line

I have limited availability for commission work but I am always interested in new and exciting projects. If my style seems to fit your project please contact me with specifics or email me for a quote

WHAT TRAINING DOES SGFX OFFER?
Line

Alongside the DVD's that we have produced with KURV we can still offer a limited amount of Sub-Division Modeling training. Primarily Lightwave, SILO, ZBrush and Mubdox. Please contact me for availability and pricing.
