Kai Gushiken - sketches

Pencil, pen and oils

A page of clothes sketches, colour palettes and small paintings for a game concept I'm working on. Kai Gushiken is a Second World War nurse who is sent to a 19th Century hospital in the country after receiving a wound to the leg on the front line that results in amputation. This is the start of research into various leg prosthetics for her character design, as well as some authentic Second World War nurse uniforms.

Pin-Up Drugs - 'Bloodbag'

Pencil, biro pen and oils

"She is a human blood receptacle, acting as a host for patients who require complete or partial blood transfusions. Blood doners are no longer necessary as the required red and white cells are given chemically-enhanced reproduction within her living body. Four chest ports are used routinely to siphon the required blood, but she will also undergo routine complete blood transfusions herself in order to effectively hold one doner's complete blood supply at a time without contamination. As a result, Bloodbag has suffered AIDS and other blood-related diseases several times, but proceeds to work accordingly. She became a Drug Mule after being discovered beaten and raped on a street near Shaftsbury Ave. Due to a volatile disposition, restrictive measures for Bloodbag are recommended." 

Postcards

Four postcard-sized paintings around the theme of reflection and illusion. Left up and bottom are complete and titled, right up and bottom are almost at the completed stage. I wanted to explore relationships with the self via technology and mirrors. Created using pencils, biro pen, oils and gouache.
