The God of War!

My first post in a while. Couldn't miss out on this theme. Its Mars, the Roman God of War!

The First Winner of 2015

A huge congrats to Nick Lennox, our first winner of 2015. Runners up are Sarah Walsh and Grainne Quinlan so well done to the ladies. Thanks everyone who posted a submission. To say we are all very busy in the studio is an understatement so it is great you squeezed some time in for the blog.
Stay tuned for the upcoming theme...

New Theme

Hey Guys, So here is the new Theme for February.

"Gods and Godesses"

As it is a short month it will run from 9th Feb-13th March

2013 and 2014

I popped together a little collage from some of the artwork posted over 2014. Such a variety of work I thought it would be nice to pop them up together.

I also found the one I did the end of 2013 that I never posted for some reason so I popped it up also!

I can do Zat!!

A quick sketch I did after watching Star Trek 2009. He was great as Chekov, I though they were all cast really well! Anyway seven years later I finally got round to finishing it! Better late than never I guess!

Squirreeeeel!!!

Don't mess with him, he has crazy eyes. He's nuts !! :P

Christmas Winter

Fairytales

In one of my early primary school readers there was a story called The Hungry Grass, which was about a fella who angered the fairies somehow - not hard to do in the old days - and as punishment they magicked the grass around his house so every time he set foot outside he instantly became ravenously hungry, and had to run back inside and eat. For some reason this story made an impression on me, although I'm not sure how it ended. I think he made some reparations and had the curse lifted in the end.

Theme 5 - Re-imagine a movie poster

After playing around with the title for ages I decided to leave it out. Hope you can still tell what film it's supposed to be....

Cats Versus Dogs

Dog with a sense of humor 

(late) Theme 8 - Subcultures

- Rockabilly girl for Subcultures theme 8 ! -

Some Ninja Love

Since I didn't submit any new artwork for theme 24, I drew my 2 favorite amigos from RC9GN.

First Theme for 2015

Happy New Year everybody. Hope 2015 is a fun and exciting time for you all.
So without further ado I'll pop up the first theme of the year. I heard that some of you missed out on finishing some of your pieces over the last while so I am going to give you the opportunity to dust all the cobwebs off them pieces and get them finished. So the theme is...

Unfinished Work

Our rough deadline will be January 30th. Looking forward to seeing some of your unfinished pieces finished!!!

'Tis The Season To Be...

Fa, La, La, La, Laaaa
La, La,
La, La!!!!

Farewell

I had fun working on Randy.

It tested my limits.. like this piece! I wasn't aiming for the 3Dish look at the beginning, but that's what I got. Also the background should have been a cool explosion, but at that point I was pretty worn-out..

McFist Syndicate

Submission to the Randy Cunningham theme this month.

Decided to do something in a Sin City style for this, with McFist, Marci and a robot ape obsessing over their ultimate goal.  Not entirely satisfied with how this came out (as opposed to what was in my head) since I didn't give myself much time to go over every last detail like I usually would.  But in terms of style and composition I guess there's only one Frank Miller.

Especially for your wall.

Ninja Trash

None of these are my SUBMISSION i'm just posting old work for fun, but here's some of my ninja trash from the last couple of years of work. I am trash and this is trash. It's good to be trash.

 Kidneystone and Crystalised Porkfat are my favourite gems.Funfact: Kidneystone isnt a jem. He just has severe kidneystones

 *** I the administrator, have hijacked Claire's post to add a link to her wonderful portfolio of work. She is not getting away that easily. You can check out more of Claire's work here ***

Paul-Randy and Howard

Here's a sweet little piece of Best Bros' Randy and Howard from one of the Directors on Randy Cunningham, Paul O' Flanagan! More of Paul's work can be seen here

Dirk-Howard and the Ninja

These couple of pieces were done by a guy called Dirk (Eric) Schultz. They are so Super Bruce we had to share. You can check out much more of what Dirk gets up to here and here. Thanks Dirk for allowing us share these images with the crew. Very impressive and expressive work!

Move over, it's Ninja time!

This is a good time to thank all the people at Boulder for inspiring, sharing knowledge and giving a supportive pat on the back when you need it! :D

Here are a 3 old ones, definitely going to throw up something new when I get the chance  :D

Karen-Ninja

Here is a beautiful sculpture of the Ninja by one of our former  Danish animators Karen Rohde Johansson. Karen made this for another one of our animators in the studio. You can find more of Karens work here

Verna-Randy Cunningham

Let's get the Ninja ball rolling here with 3 piece's from Verna Jaaskinen, from Helsinki, Finland but currently living and working in Ireland. Verna worked with us as a BG artist on Season 1 of Randy. You can check out more of Verna's work over on her tumblr here

Randy Cunningham 9th- Grade Ninja

We started Randy Cunningham-9th Grade Ninja way back in 2011. And as we approached the end of Season 2 we decided it was about time we paid homage to the show. So without further ado, our next blog theme will be

Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja 

I'll be posting some of the images, sculptures and fanart we have collected from some varied artists, some of which have worked with Boulder, some who are just Superfans from around the globe who have paid tribute to the show over the years. So stay tuned....This should be fun!

Thrilling

A huge shout out to Kyla Tomlinson for her amazingly brilliant Chaaaa-Moawn. She snuck in with this entry at the last minute and we are so glad she did...brillo!

Also a big well done to Nick Lennox and Anita Gaughan who came in as our runners up.
Thank you to everyone one again for posting and voting.
New theme will go up Monday.

Boris, Bela and The Bride

Some of my old favourite Horror Movie Monsters!

CHAAA' MOWENNNN

So.  This clip is not quite how I'd planned.  I'd say about 65 percent how I'd planned.  It's not like the quality would have been any better, but if you can imagine lots more zombies, some sexy camera moves, a soundtrack that would have included a kazoo, casio keyboarding and mouth trumpet, and a bit of dialogue at the end in the style of a jolly Yorkshire man going,

"Eeeee, that were good",

then you're almost there.

I should add though the comping king from comp (Ed) has added some magic into this that could possibly have saved the spammy mess that is this video.

Whatever way, I'm sure I'm championning the legacy that is Mickey J.

He would have wanted it this way.

Mickey got de mooooves

Skull Bubblely

Happy Halloween O_O

The Twilight Zone - The Lateness of The Hour

One of my favorite episodes! Its creepy as hell and very claustrophobic so tried to portray that here :)
