Limbo and The Marquis

I've not posted for a couple of weeks on here. Still in moving house Limbo, but will be finally moving into the new abode in the next couple of days and should be able to fully set up shop so i can get some form of regular posting again.
Meanwhile i've been working on a new 5 Page preview for Dream Solver which will be published in the next book by Insomnia. so keep an eye out for that....even though i'll fully bombard any reader with more info closer to the time it gets released.
I can't go posting up on here without having something to show for myself, so here is a sketch i'm working on of Guy Davis' 'The Marquis' its not finished, i think i should make something more out of this, if it turns out well i may try and send it to the Marquis Blog. wish me luck.

The Dude: House Broken


Found myself on a bit of a roll with sketching the Dude today so i thought i may as well throw up this one too. I'm actually ahead of myself for once. I think i messed up the toilet a bit, but it was a quick one so...
This is from one of my favorite scenes in the film. "Where's the money shit head!"

The Dude: No1


I'm i the middle of moving house at the moment. Meanwhile managed to squeeze in a sketch of the infamous 'Dude' from the 'Big Lebowski'
I never ever have any reason not to watch this film. should be sketching him more this week.

Lo Pan: Finally!


A little bit delayed but finally sat down to do a Lo Pan sketch, because its so late i threw in a little bonus monster. if you know 'Big Trouble in Little China' you'll know who he is.
Monsters are fun to draw damn fun, i get jelouse readng The Marquis by Guy Davis, he looks like he has so much fun inveneting horrible monsters. think i might make an effort to experiment with more beasts.
So i'm going to leave him now for a while and move on to another character. My brother has suggested the Big Lebowski's 'The Dude' so going to sit back have a white russian listen to some strike compilations and have a few plugs at him.

Big Trouble In Little China: Lo Pan

The rules here are thus: I take a week (Monday to Sunday) to try out the theme, i'm aiming to pull of at least two portraits and a full body or scene.
to begin with, i admit i'm cheating a little, although this sketch was what pushed me to start the new blog assignment. I'm a big fan of 'Big Trouble In Little China', i saw it at a very young age and it is one i will always sit and watch if it's playing. Lo Pan is such a fun character and more fun to draw. he'll be my theme for my first week.

Fresh

So this here is my first post of my spanking new Blog. Recently i've found myself to be working on Comics full time, hopefully i can make a massive go of this and keep this as my full time job. with this has come a bit of slackness because i have found myself without structure or someone telling me when and how long i'm supposed to work. this new blog is an attempt to get myself on some sort of regime a challenge if you will.
The intention of this blog will still be around putting up sketches and what not but each week i'm setting myself a themed character or type of person to draw, just to train myself in areas i'm weak on, or to just punch out some characters i'd love to draw. bear with me, stay tuned, i'm aiming for weekly updates, i've got all the time to myslef now so i haven't really got any excuse, any feedback is welcome and any suggestions towards possible people to draw is welcome, i have my own list which is pretty long but if i like the suggestion i'll be sure to go down that road.
anyway, if you have read this, thanks! and hope you enjoy the stuff to come.

take it easy
