Final Fantasy VII 'Loveless' Painting

LOVELESS is a story from the world of Final Fantasy VII and has made several cameo appearances in the Compilation. Originating as a book of poetry, the story was adapted into a play, growing enough popularity to have a street named after it in Midgar. The story focuses around three men who set out on a quest to find the fabled "Gift of the Goddess". It plays a major role in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. Posters and billboards for the play show a female figure with the words "Open 6/25 6:00" and "18:00" underneath her. Many posters also include "My Bloody Valentine" along the side. This is my attempt at recreating the poster from the game. I hope you like it!

Painted Nerf Pistol

My previous post wet my appetite for prop painting, and the idea of painting Nerf guns has been on my radar for some time. Here's my first attempt. I think it looks ok.

Fallout Style Rifle

Here's my Fallout style Rifle. Freshly painted! I Had an idea to turn a crappy old plastic BB gun I had lying around into a Fallout 3 Style Rifle. Here's the result! I sprayed it, bodged it, taped it, and painted it. Going to mount it on my wall at some point I think.

Glowing Nuka Cola Bottle

I've wanted to make a glowing Nuka Cola Quantum for over a year now, and I'm glad I finally have. I'm pretty pleased with it : )

Gears of War Painting

 

Playing through Gears 3 inspired me to paint the awesome logo. Pretty pleased with it, although I guess it's a little bland.

Welcome To Florida

My latest painting is a continuation of my Florida theme and is of my own design. I can't seem to let the Florida theme rest at the moment! I wanted it to be in the same style as my 'One Way' sign painting below as I find it a very enjoyable style to paint in. I also wanted to include the 50's feel I love so much, and I think I achieved it. I'll let you be the judge! I actually painted it with my Girlfriend parents in mind, as it was they're time and effort planning the holiday that made it so damn good! I have since given it to them as a Christmas present, and they said they absolutely love it! Which is great! I'm so glad they like it!

New Painting - November 2011 - Florida Sign

Had a really amazing time in Florida as you may have read below. There were very few moments if any at all that I did not enjoy, and long to be back there already. I even miss just the little things about America that I find fascinating like the cars and road signs. I have a great interest in nearly anything American especially if its from the 40s, 50s or 60s. Even now, American things have always fascinated me. This is why I have chosen to paint a simple road sign I took a picture of in South Beach, Miami. I think it was its slightly battered and weathered appearance which first drew me to it. As you can probably tell from seeing some of my paintings on this site, I can't get enough of that sort of thing. Although you may look at this painting and shrug it off, I guess it has more of a connection to me. Just looking at it conjures up the last day of my holiday, wandering around South Beach looking at the awesome Art Deco architecture. Its also feels like I have brought a little piece of my holiday to life which is a rather satisfying feeling : )

Florida Holiday 2011

Not long been back from Florida now. Had an amazing time! We flew from London to Miami. Then drove to Tamarac, then from Tamarac to Orlando, Orlando to Cocoa, Cocoa to Key Largo, then Key Largo back to Miami. It was a fast paced, but fantastic holiday. Packed to the brim with great shopping, theme parks, Cirque De Soleil, Kennedy Space Center and a ton more great stuff
