So...worked on a colour version already and I'm a bit torn really. I love the original black and white version, and when I coloured this (with a slight blue tint for the moon light) I wasn't so keen on it until I saw it with speech bubbles and the whole thing sort of feels right...?? What do you think people out in internetland?
Enjoy!

Boy it has been a while!!

The comic I've been working on with a student at school is very near completion. Although I really like the blue shades in my previous entry, I've decided for the print version to stick to plain black and white and no shades at all. This will make it a lot clearer when sized down. I will produce full colour versions for the blog though as well as put the b&w one up as soon as it's done...lots of work there so will have to press on!

Toodles!

Hey there comics fans! So here's the first three pages from the comic I'm doing with a student from school. This project has been ongoing but that's what you get when you mix business with pleasure - running an art department at school and at home at the same time!
I'm trying a new technique here where I placed the inked pages on a light-box and painted the tones in blue watercolour on a separate piece of paper. Then joined the 2 separations in Photoshop. It's a style I was sort of influenced by in Darwyn Cooke's latest book, 'The Hunter' adapted from the novel of the same name by Donald Westlake aka Richard Stark. See an example of what I mean here.
Well take it east for now and have a happy Christmas! Card comes next!!

BLIMEY I haven't blogged in ages! Lets see if I can get this right;

Below is a pic I did for my good friend Matt the Hatt for his birthday which was a good couple weeks ago so I must really be getting slow nowadays! Anyhoo, I apologize a lot and now here is my picture. It would have also been the image I may have submitted to Little White Lies magazine in a competition, which I was far too late to enter for. *sigh* oh well, maybe next time. And no other news on the comic I'm doing with the student at school other than it's all drawn and still inking. More will be up soon.

Enjoy!!

Another post already!! I must be on holiday!! On display here is the page the previous penciled panel comes from, page 1. The whole page above and then the detail below of the inked pencil drawing from before.
Some of my best work I feel and the whole comic is coming on really nicely. It's mounting up to 6 pages total and has a really good flow to it.
More as it happens!!
