A quick drawing of the Doctor and Amy Pond. Mainly for the curiosity of what they'd look like if I drew them.
The new series starts next Saturday, hurrah! It'll be nice to have something new to watch on the television!

Here's another small teaser poster for my upcoming iOS game.
Work on my game has been sapping most of my creative energy, so I apologise for the lack of artwork I've been producing lately. If you have no interest in my game then I'd like to thank you for your patience! I'm on my final "to do" list for the game - admittedly it's a very long list; but at least I now have the goal in sight!

Huzzah, the Nintendo 3DS has finally been released (or will be releasing very soon depending on where you live)! I've spent a little time formatting my 3D artwork of Chipper for display on the console's 3D screen.
If you'd like to see them for yourself, you can download the images by
clicking here. Just pop the contents of the ZIP file on your SD card, and then they should be viewable using the camera application.
If you'd like my friend code, it's:
4940 - 5421 - 2558
Give me a shout and I'll add you in return!
Update: If you have access to a Nintendo 3DS, you can view these pictures in 3D by navigating to
louistrations.co.uk/3d using the built-in web browser.

Taking a quick break to draw something just for the fun of it! I've not inked anything traditionally for ages, so it'll stop me from getting rusty.
It's a drawing of Babydoll from the upcoming movie "Sucker Punch". I don't particularly know anything about the movie; it's just on the cover of a magazine in the living room, haha!

Recently I managed to score an invite to an exclusive Nintendo 3DS Preview Event in London.
If you have any interest in the handheld you will probably already know all of the details, and I doubt that you'd be able to learn anything new from me. The event staff were more specialised in the knowledge of event planning, so it's not like I could really ask any questions myself. Regardless, I thought I'd write up my impressions of my short time with the device. At least it'll be something new to post on my website, which seems to be suffering from a lull in new content at the moment while I feverishly work on completing my own video game.

Welcome one and all to the prestigious 7th annual Louis' Tea Charts and Statistics Extravaganza! That's right, it's the day that you've all been waiting for! I hope everybody's enjoying the street parties! I'd like to take a moment to thank everybody for tolerating all of the trivial posts made throughout the year featuring artwork that I so painstakingly poured so much time and effort into making. This my dear friends, is your reward!
It's been a strange year in the world of tea, at
978 cups 2010 is the year with the lowest yearly total since records began. Tea prices went up. Various well loved animated (Tetley Tea Folk), claymation (Wallace and Gromit) and stuffed characters (Johnny Vegas) have been promoting the major brands - leaving me feeling confused and conflicted about brand loyalty.
Anyway, I'm not going to talk much this year; I know that you're only here for the cold hard stats! So without further ado, bring forth the charts!

A small drawing of Chipper that's been lying around on my desktop for a while now, I thought I'd share it. Please click to view the full picture.
Please excuse the boring pose, it's not exactly inspired. The picture kinda reminds me of the back of playing cards, lofl!

Here's a couple of screenshots of my upcoming game, "The Legacy of Lolly".
Sir Lolly gets to visit many different locations and scenarios by going on excursions in his super-incredibly-awesome
Lollicopter; yet this is the location that he'll always return to, a small school in an area named "Westgate". It's also quite special as it's the location depicted in the
old games.
This isn't a mockup; it's the playable game running at a lovely 60fps on my iPhone4. Please bear in mind that this is work in progress and is subject to change. There'll be less repetition of the children.
