art dumping

First a few more RP speed portraits.

Then a tour poster for Bareback Titty Squad who are blowing up right now! Woo.

And for my man Sam some class portraits for Adventure Chorus, a pen and paper system based off our Beast Chorus setting.

The Wedding Online Premiere

My graduate film The Wedding has just premiered online through Short of the Week!

They have a really flattering write up/review on it too.

So here the sucker finally is (I finished it like a year ago!)

The Wedding from Simon Cottee on Vimeo.

And also a super all over the place, long and totally out of focus Duck video update that I probably should have never uploaded!


Oh and a new Beast Chorus entry!

Ducks 2013

HEYDUCKS2013 OH MY!
A bit of a dump of junk.
HEY A VIDEO UPDATE FOR THE DUCK


Annnnd I was the illustrator for the 2nd issue of the very cool Brisbane writers journal Stilts. Here are some of the illustrations that I drew like... almost a year ago!

There are more in the issue too!
Annnnd here are my christmas cards for 2012. The last one is for my big sister of course.

ANNNNNND here is an amazing picture I found that I forgot I drew and was wrongfully put into a folder called mess. It should be in a folder called Masterpiece.

I sure like pink hey.

Hey some duck background samples why not

More... pink!?

Oh and we have a bunch of new Beast Chorus entries that you may have missed, they gettin better and better! Here is a little sample of one illustration, but it's the written pieces that my man Samuel Maguire writes that makes it!

Wait a second... that looks very... OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD

Beast Chorus, Ducks and Stuff

HI my blog.

So here is a recap because lots of cool stuff is going on. My pen and paper bro Sam "Skydekkerix" Maguire  and I have started a new collab site called Beast Chorus. It's sorta like a high concept webcomic/fantasy journal. It's a bestiary of fantastical creatures for a pen and paper RPG setting, Sam and I come up with the monster, Sam writes them up wonderfully and then I illustrate them. It's so much fun! So go check it out for some excitin writin and artin. HERE!

I've also got some illustrations from whatever:
This guy, an illustration of a character from a story for my buddies at Stilts.

And here is a silly picture from a drawjam.

AND here are two characters you may recognise for a freelance project that fell through:

 

Here is a bad drawing of Greedo!

AND here is a rough walk cycle test for the Duck!

AND here are two images nearing a final look and style! WOAOAOA!

OH and there is a chance I may be going to Munich in November with the Wedding. I'm also in a bunch more festivals and award things yaaaay.

Ducks, Vikings and Monsters

Hey, just an update of some art and stuff.
OH and the Wedding was recently screened at Brisbane RAW's event:

It was very cool, and the US section of the site interviewed me here.

I've also just found out that the Wedding is nominated for an ATOM Award and official selection at the Brisbane International Film Festival. Super excited.

The Duck is almost at v3 animatic, close to starting animation! Nerve wracking, haha.

HEY here is some recent very rough art and junk. Big strong men only?

And an exciting new project I plan to start with my man Skydekkerix / Sam.

Oh and I've been reading way too much American Elf.
