Chin Chin Comic

Here's a little bit of the comic I did for the upcoming CHIN CHIN cookbook. Launching soon.

GQ comics

Well if you go to your Newsstand and see Leonardo Dicaprio staring out at you from the glossy sheen of a GQ magazine cover why not pick it up and resist the urge to find out about how to groom like Leo and find me in there. I've drawn some comics about top aussie talent. I haven't seen it yet so these may appear in print like this, probably with captions I imagine... Go find out and then tell the editor how much you liked them cartoons.

Style

So recently I've been having a crisis with my drawing style. I have so little charm and dress sense so when I'm not happy with the crap I'm producing I become very disappointed in my fat, stupid fingers, my mediocre wits and pants from a friend's father. Long nights of soul searching, research and scratched out eyes of characters have gone into developing a new approach that makes me feel more satisfied in approaching anatomy and scenery. I'm actually going to pick up books that take me back to some fundamentals. I could claim that my drawing is self taught but I find that claim somewhat arrogant. I've observed many great people and had Life drawing classes and talked to other artists. Anyway, Here's some recent sketches trying to solidify a new style for me. It's getting there, I'm pretty excited about how it's all coming out. Next step to ink a couple and see.
The titling is just fun and to help some compositional skills

'Lonely the Monk' or 'Wacky madcap crisis of faith'

Here it is. 4 pages of Epic meta-physical crisis resolved in one page of stupidy all set in a world of high fantasy. Like the ink work though? What do you think of my title options?

Where's me monks?

Coloured!

Here it is coloured and I gotta say I'm pretty happy with this thing.
More to come!

Inks

I'm posting this page of finished inks so my next post can be the coloured page which means I won't drag my heels with the colouring so I can post here again... You get me?

This is probably my favourite finished page so far.

Skullkicker entry

Here's something from several months ago I'd almost forgotten about. It was my entry to the skullkickers competition way back called Tavern tales by Jim Zub who I then got to meet at TCAF this year. Lovely bloke.
I actually don't hate it. It's not bad for what it is.

Goon art!

You may have seen the Goon art Comp floating around the Net.
Well here's my crack and a nice little exploration in brush use so it was.

Political powers

My (juvenile) reaction to this week in Australian politics

Pride of the realm pages

Here's some finished pages for Lucas Testro's wonderful tale 'Pride of the Realm' for an anthology about Victorian England to be released by Accent UK later this year, or maybe next year. Who's to say.
This was great to do, to start honing my inking and using some great new pens the good folk at Squishface  studio put me on to.
I'll try and push it when it gets released in Australia but that could be sometime so I hope you enjoy these now.

    

Batman painting

Here's the dark knight after a long night. I've been observing buildings in the distance recently to get that look of atmosphere between your eyes and them. Got close here. Again, another Oz comics challenge.

Leia garrotting Jabba the Hutt

So here's a mock up cover I spent awhile on. I went in and changed alot of details near the end like the background robots and the angle of Jabba's face. Good fun.

Killeroo Gangwar cover

Here's a sketch cover I did for Darren Close's Killeroo Gangwar comic.

New comic

So I haven't finished the last comic and now I've started in on this one for Lucas Testro. It's a great little detective adventure. Stay tuned and God help me.

Page 3

The carnival's in town...Whoo. This page and this panel took far too long to colour. Time to simplify

Comic Page

Page 2 of my Comic for Local Anthology 'Velocity'. My comic has the lofty title of 'Molly Mac and the Brain Caper.'

Pencilled pages

Here's some crappy photos of my pencilled pages for the Velocity anthology coming out of Melbourne in Febuary. Really loving it, We'll see how colouring goes...

This is how bugs say 'I want you!!'

My hand is swollen and my spine crunching itself but I'm almost there...and I think it's worth it.

Hellboy

I inked this one traditionally for a facebook challenge and slapped on some colours in Photoshop.  Very happy.  I think I found an inbetween of my style and Mignola's I reckon.
