Armada - End of Year Film for ADA 2

 The film was inspired by the real life story of Fancesco de Cuellar, a Spanish soldier who survived being shipwrecked on the Sligo coast only to have to make a perilous trek across the ferocious Irish countryside, avoiding bloodthirsty locals and a vicious British cavalry.

It should be noted that the real story differs however from the end of the film. In real life Franceso de Cuellar survived many months on the run before finally returning to the safety of his homeland.

The film also contains a wonderful musical track composed and performed by Micheal Clarke.

J.L.A. by Gaslight

This was a piece I worked on after I came across a toy series based on the Justice League. The premise is based on what they may look like if theyed
existed in the Victorian era of the "Gotham by Gaslight", a story drawn by Mike Mignola. I loved researching the clothing and costume from that period and would really like to work on some larger project sometime.
I was aiming for the sort of opaque, high contrast look you might see in old Victorian Era photography or posters.

Concept work of the Man of Steel himself.
