Comic book geek out

I really meant to only make these little figure and colouring tests but I ended spending a couple of hours on it...
Colours are still abit too full on and the linework needs work

Game art preview

Here's a little preview of a piece of art for an indy game I've been working on.
This is a godly face from sketch to finished colours.

Hopefully I can show you the whole thing soon.

It was great to work on but a little stressful sometimes too

Finished bits

So here's the finished piece and a companion piece.
Really like the witchy one, although I think the background can take away from her shape abit.
Making up a mini folio to show fantasy publishers maybe

Look a fantasy thing!

So I've spent hours drawing an Orc. I AM an adult!
I hope someone pays for this crap one day.

New York

A Frazetta on the landing of the Society of Illustrators. Whoa.

Manhattan on a foggy night.

hehehe

Finally these McPubs are gonna unclog all that guinness that fed me.

This was intense in the flesh. Except that a weird inter-generational french couple used it as a backdrop for their fucking trip for a 10 minute photo shoot.

Toronto

TCAF is finishing up. Met alot of cool creators. swapped some comics. Bought some.
Toronto is pretty. Here's a picture of the buildings that prove me wrong maybe but it's a cool addition to a Uni building I think. There's also the back of Andrew Fulton's head of caravan of comics fame!

So yesterday I met Jim Zub who does Skullkickers, really friendly guy. He ran a panel today with Becky Cloonan who drew this for me!

Really cool huh? She was sitting next to Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon. I got their Dayrtipper book and  picked up a mean little teaser comic from Andy Belanger. Great brushwork from all those guys.
Speaking of great brushwork I also went to a kind of tutorial or demo on inking from the great Jeff Smith of Bone fame.
Here's a shot of  the fucking bestest water bottle at the convention. He's inking some crap in the background there.

I also drew him

He has massive hands cos the muscles are overworked with cartoonery and carpal tunnel and fit as.
While this blog post is making less sense here's Matt Madden.

I also saw and drew him. He's a dapper guy and comes free with lots of advice, although he will try and charge you for his heavy book that just says the same thing but with lots of words and pictures and binding and wisdom.
That's all. I'm napping now.

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.
