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.

Check out Longstone

Hey guys

im back up in dub now n im near finished a 22 page comic (its just a folio thing n not 4 sale but im hoping to put it up on my blog) so i'll start posting up sum new wrk as apposed to old wrk v soon. in the mean time heres a piece i did last year. It was originally a pitch 4 a job, that has been edited slightly for the Longstone comics group as our website is being up dated (Nice one Hilbo). So if it is goin up on another site it may as well go up here as well. I'll post up the rest of the stuff i did for this pitch soon

Animal Studies

As expected not really get much time to get sum new exciting stuff dun so here's a few zoo studies i still refer to every once in a while for as bit o inspiration. I kinda like my line in these despite my sense of weight being a lil flimsy, ... i love the way monkeys move n vary between looks of curiousity, boredom and mischievious. They're awesome

Ninja Nurse

Hey guys things kinda got a lil shaken up today n my nu usual routine will prob have to take a hit, so in the fear of being unable to post sumtin up in the nxt couple o days here's an oldie that i still quite like.

This was done for a friend o mine as a bday card, she is studying to be a nurse and at the time I was doodling a lot o streetfighter characters so its her as a kind of Chun Li type person. It was a bit o fun n dun quickly enuff, i learned that the simpler my colour palette the easier it is for me ( as i'm mildly colourblind). N now that i've mentioned streetfighter i think ill do up sum o that stuff again and post sum of it up hopefully sooner rather than l8r lets not fall into that abyss where i dont use my blog again.

Laters!
