Mouse a Sci-Fi short film

Paul Burrow — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:47:44 +0000

Here are 3 pieces I created for the short Sci-Fi film called Mouse. The film is about a man waking up in a building with no idea where he is or what he is doing there. After crawling through a man sized mouse hole in the wall of the room he wakes up in he discovers he is not alone, and the occupants look very familiar.

Mouse is created by Justin Tagg and you can find more information about the film by clicking HERE

Deckard oil painting

I’m back working on my Blade Runner Rick Deckard painting. Background is getting filled in now. I’m painting in a dark rainy cityscape from the film.

Miranda – Mass Effect painting

I think this is finished now. This is Miranda on Illium. Miranda is a character from the Mass Effect series of games. The background scene is from a balcony overlooking a city on Illium, a planet that features in Mass Effect 2. Facial reference from images of actress Yvonne Strahovski were used. Yvonne is the actress who played the voice of Miranda and the character is also modelled on her likeness in the games.

I started off with a pencil drawing of the character. Once scanned onto the computer I painted in the rest. When playing Mass Effect 2 there are many WOW moments when you take in the scenery. For me walking around the city on this planet I would spend a lot of time looking over the balconies onto the cityscape below. Bioware did a really good job on the visuals here! The reason I have done this painting is in appreciation of Mass Effect, the artists behind it and the beautiful Yvonne Strahovski. I couldn’t really go wrong making this one look pretty

I’m creating a larger wallpaper version for people to download to use as their desktop background this weekend

SFX Magazine article

SFX magazine has released a Zombie Special today packed full of features and goodies related to the undead.

One feature entitled “I walked as a zombie” was written By Ian Berriman who was a zombie on the same days as me. The article describes the day Ian had as a zombie extra, from start to finish.

The picture below taken from the magazine shows our zombie group from the bank robbery scene. I’m the one at the back in the bloodied beige jacket.

Deckard oil painting

Continuing on from the Rick Deckard sketch, here is the painting so far based on that sketch. This is an oil painting A4 size. This is now starting to look like a 1982 Harrison Ford from the film Blade Runner.

I had been struggling and nearly ripped it up earlier in the process as it was strangely looking like Mel Gibson but I’m glad I didn’t give up on it as a few more hours of work has started to produce a better likeness.

Faith vs Kakistos (BTVS)

Faith kicks Kakistos' ass

This is an oldie from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer days. I posted part of this image on Eliza Dushkus facebook page for Fan Art Friday. Lori Denis commented that she’d looked through my site to try to find the whole image but couldn’t find it and wondered where she could see it.

The answer is I removed this painting from my site some years ago now as I didn’t think it was a strong enough piece to include in my portfolio. You have to be pretty self critical and cut-throat about which images to show and I feel there are a host of issues with this image which I won’t go into. However here it is for you Lori
