My Film, at long last

yo, ive wanted to put this up on my blog for a long time, its finally finished in the film fest circut and i can now do wat i want to it. I watch it today and im still reasonably happy with it.

I was lucky enuff to show it to the amazing Ed Hooks, at animex last year. he sed that i should rearrange my quotes, and although i completely agree with his critique, i was just unable to find somewhere to re-record the music, since i dont have the college facilities anymore. so wen i went to re edit i found myself coming across quite a few sound problems, so i ended up leaving it as it was.

Thanks Ed, i really appreciate the critique, im jus sorry i dont have the equipment.

so here it is reprieved, i hope you like.

BUSY, WORK AND HOLIDAYS

Yo guys

please pardon my absense again but i have been busy. ive actually been wrkin on a number of projects but most of which are still hush hush, and i cant post up n e of it yet, bu one of em i can.

these are designs i did for a series written by a friend of mine for a pitch to a company, so he can have sum visuals to go along with everything else he has, heres the wrk. I wont go into the story too much ( as i cant), but i was given pretty specific but generic character descriptions. so i stayed with what the creator asked for as much as i could, found out what way he wanted these characters designed , then redesigned if i went too far with the designs. But i was happy enuff with the end results, so here they are






i have loads more stuff to put up but i got to get my hands on an A3 scanner ( just means that ill go to Dans Gaff again) but i wont be able to put them up for bout 2 weeks r so as im going to New York! yep im off tomorrow for the big apple comic con! can wait!

until i get to post again,
all the best guys!

Wolverine

Hey guys here's another piece that I had with me at the Derry con but i was reluctant to put it up coz i have the intentions to paint it. But considerin' this sketch was well received in Derry, i thought i'd put it up n e how.

So here's Wolverine, a character that i still want to develop sum more. I kinda started with the whole trying to make him look like a cat, to try n keep him feral lookin'. and i think i achieved that at one stage in my ruff work, but as soon as I went to add on his Chops, this gorilla look came out. He even looks more like a gorilla when i went and elongated his forearms (purely just so i cud go n give him sum pretty long claws). And in fairness i like where im goin with it. But i do want to make him shorter and stockier, for me he's still too tall right now. So watch this space for a stocky, gorilla lookin painted Wolverine in the near future.

The Derry Con

Hey guys, just posting up sum work i did for the Derry comic con/ the 2D Fest
( http://www.2dfestival.com/). here's 2 pieces that i was selling at the con. turns out i could've dun with more Marcus prints, unsurprisingly there's a huge demand for n e thing that's Gears of War.




And here's a virtually unknown character but fills the category of comic book tottie. This is 10/ Melenie from the Batman beyond cartoon. i think I'm one of few people who actually liked this cartoon, but I'm definitely one of few people who even knows of this character. There's a great relationship going on between her and Terry/Batman, u know a kind of Romeo and Juliet theme. Any way Mel is part of the royal flush gang a group o baddies who dress up like playing cards, and so i did a lil playing card idea on this piece.

any way the con was great, it was the first time i was busy the whole day doing sketches for people. I actually had a que for a while and had to make a list, sadly not being used to a demand for sketches there was one or two people that i just couldn't do sketches for as the con closed up, sorry guys. But I had a blast and i think all the guys from Longstone comics did too, Dee (http://www.puredaft-delineavit.blogspot.com/)was even in one o the panels on the Friday. I think we all have our sights on going back again.

All the best guys

Ultimate Spider-man, #119, test script

Okay so here's a fully finished test sript. I really enjoyed this one too, i felt that these characters kinda suited my animated style a bit more. I had tons of fun wrkin on the designs, and this was the first time i ever had to draw double page spreads, which was also pretty fun.

The basic story here is, (and emphasis on basic) all the guys are out having a laugh, all of a sudden one of them bursts into a ball of flames, everybody is sorta stunned by it, as nobody knew that Liz had mutant abilities. Johny storm kinda gets the blame for it, n then he has to go n do sum Fantastic 4 work. Admist all of the confusion we see that Kong tells Peter that he knows Peter is Spider-man which leads to more confusion. Spidey and Iceman catching up with Liz and having a long talk trying to hellp Liz come to terms with her new powers. And then we have a big intro From Magneto! Gud stuff!

Oh yeh n i almost forgot to mention. Liz (the girl whos on fire) tries to cover herself up thru most of my take on this script for a gud reason. As most of us who read comics know and are used to fire and all kinds of other powers naturally covering the body, but Liz the character does not know this. She has just turned into a big ball of flames infront of her friends all her clothes were burnt so it would be a natural reaction for her and anybody else to try and cover themselves up. as the story progresses you will see her not trying to cover herself up as by that stage she has realised that she does not need to. that is all.

so here's the test scripts , n here's hoping.

The Punisher #55 test script

This is The Punisher #55, it's part of a trial script i've been workin on, its one of the opening scenes, i'll get into this n finish it off pretty soon.

I had a lot of fun with this, its Frank n Nick in a bar, Frank being his normal 'too cool for school' self n Nick is getting pissed, and is pretty ticked off about the war n starts a fight that ends with him goin tru a window. Gud healthy fun.

I'm a big MMA fan so when the script asked for a number of hard lookin people sitting at the bar, i characatured sum of the MMA greats. From left to right theres Anderson Silva, Rampage Jackson, Randy 'The natural' Couture, Ken Shamrock and Wanderlei Silva. im happy with the characatures as everybody has been able to identify em almost immediately. Im also very happy with pages there some of the best I've dun to d8.
