A dude walking.

It's been a while. I've not been drawing in a long time. So here's a new painting I just did.
I wonder if anyone reads this anymore...

I thought that it's been a while since I've done any noir so here's a new one to whet the appetite. It's flawed but the overall look came out ok.

No need for paper

As I'm leaving the country I'm not going to have access to a scanner for a while so I decided to do a quick test of ArtRage as an alternative for drawing my comic. This picture shows the results, drawn entirely on the laptop, and I think it does a pretty good job of it.

Long story short, no need for me to stop drawing my comic. Everyone rejoice!

Cracked again.

Here's the second cracked image.
Ok, actually this was going to be the one I submitted for Illustration Friday, but when I painted it I had the idea to do the planet image, which came out better.

I was more interested in exploring light and dark in this than the concept itself, though in the end I thought I'd crack up my initials as well just for fun!

Also, why is it that when I say I'm going to do loads of posts I vanish from the face of the Earth for a month, but when I say I'll not post much, as I did a week ago, I end up posting more in a week than ever before?

Illustration Friday - Poise

I was desperately struggling to find something to draw for the latest IF topic, poise, when it all quite literally fell into place.

I'm not that good an ice-skater, and when I had a go this week a slight tumble ended up with my arm in a sling and me drifting in and out of consciousness! Well, it was nothing serious and I'm almost back to normal already, but I thought I would show to the world how I have far from perfect poise when I skate, in a little picture that shows the moments just before the accident.

Also, this is a really awful self-portrait. Though, I might have drawn a little bit more hair than I have in real life!!

Legendary

I've decided to start using Illustration Friday as a springboard for some creativity. I often work best when my mind is free to go to random places.

Anyway, the word of the week is Legendary, and the first things that came to mind were the ancient Greek myths. One story has always inspired me, ever since I was a little pup, and that was the story of Jason and the Argonauts, so it's fitting that this should be my first picture for IF.

Page 6 of Fubar and the Deadly Alien Microbots are reunited with an old acquaintance.


I've been real busy recently and have got the pencils for this comic all the way up to page 20! Just another 5 to go, followed by inking it all, and chapter 1 of this epic is finished. Can't wait!

Fubar page 5

Page 5 of Fubar.
I wouldn't want to be the Deadly Alien Microbots right now.

Fubar page 4 + TAGGED!!!

Page 4 of Fubar and something's lurking behind the big bad door. Nothing like a little fear to bring the Deadly Alien Microbots back together!

Oh yes, almost forgot... I've apparently been tagged... twice. Once by Kenneth Anderson and secondly by Robi Pena. Thanks guys, I'll cut the acceptance speech short, though, as I'll only cry! Now, I'm not sure how the rules go for 2 tags but since I'm combining this in one post I'm assuming it counts as one tag. (And nobody better say otherwise or you'll be sorry!) So on with the game...

Here is the game rule:
1. You must link to the individual who tagged you and post the rules of TAG (which you are currently reading).
2. Post 7 random facts about yourself
3. Tag 7 friends and link to them and
4. Let them know that they have been tagged by leaving a nice little message on their blog.

My 7 facts are:
1. I love Italian food, especially ice cream!
2. I sing along to the radio on my way to work.
3. I'm half Maltese. Or is that a quarter Maltese?
4. I often get bored of projects I come up with half way through. My ambitions far outway my enthusiasm...
5. Despite all that I did write a full novel recently. It wasn't very good and didn't get published but the dream's still there!
6. I'm 28 years old... getting older... by... the... second :(
7. I've got my name on the credits of 3 great video games -- Damn, almost broke my "no shameless plugging" rule, there (Don't tell anyone!)

Really sorry to have to do this to you peeps but rules is rules, so here are my tag victims (mwah ha ha):

1. Chris Phillips
2. Mirella
3. Silvano
4. Jeremy Melton
5. Bógar Chancay
6. Andrew
7. Aleta Vidal

Well, that's the lot. Till the next time...

Fubar page 3

Page 3 of Fubar and it looks like the Deadly Alien Microbots are at each others' throats while they hide out from the ominous slimy looking thing lurking behind the big door.

Enjoy!

Fubar page 2

Page 2 of Fubar and the Deadly Alien Microbots are hiding out from some mysterious slimy thing that's torn apart their already torn apart ship and damaged the most powerful, yet strangely inept looking, security robot . Oh well, at least they have each other for company...

Fubar page 1

And here's page 1 of Fubar. It probably doesn't make much sense right now, but it will soon... hopefully! I've got another 10 pages or so lined up to show you all full of black n white goodness.

Fubar page 0

Well, it has been a while, hasn't it? I noticed I hadn't posted anything for exactly a month and I was starting to slack with my artwork so what better than to clear my backlog.

Here's the title page of the new Deadly Alien Microbots saga called Fubar. This one's a lot longer than Blood and Gorebot was and has more of a story.

Enjoy!

Oh, and thanks for all the positive feedback on my last comic.

Blood and Gorebot page 6

And so here's the sixth and final page of my mini comic that introduces the crazy microcosmic world of the Deadly Alien Microbots. I hope you enjoyed the ride and please let me know your thoughts on it all, good and bad.

I'm hard at work on a much longer comic with an actual plot now, but rest assured it's just as insane as this one is.

Blood and Gorebot page 5

And here's page 5. Only 1 more to go now and then... who knows? Not me, that's for sure!

Blood and Gorebot Page 4

Another page up for you to enjoy. There are only 2 more remaining for this mini story, but have no fear as I have already drawn 9 pages of the big epic saga, which will involve more blood, more gore but not nearly as much of Doktor Von Gorebot as I'd like.

Blood And Gorebot page 3

As if by magic, page 3 appears.
Please enjoy and calm my fears.

Interloper

New comic page coming around Monday-ish, in the meantime here's a quick doodle I did to keep you happy. And yes, that is a giant robot clinging on for its dear life in the hope of getting off this awful planet. Partly inspired by the brilliant WALL-E no less.

Blood And Gorebot Page 2

So here's Page 2 of the DAM mini comic.

Enjoy!

Taking the dog out for a walk

Thanks for all the positive comments on page 1 of my comic. Page 2 will be arriving any day now...

In the meantime, here's a little doodle I did of a giant robo-doggy (that doesn't really look too much like a dog but what the heck) taking its pet out for a walk.
