Silent Treatment

Thought I'd post about a little side job I've been working on in the past few of weeks. I'd worked on this along side my current comic work so it took longer than if I'd been working on it on it's own but it had a stretchy deadline so the process had plenty of time for playing around in.

The job was a promotional poster for a short film titled 'Silent Treatment'
Director Mark Lobatto sent me a cut of the film and we worked together on some suitable images. He'd approached me with some sketches of what he had in mind and I saw if I could find anything else that caught an interesting aspect of the film.
Here's the two results of our brain storming. I penciled and inked it much like I do a comic page and Asked colourist Andre May to work his magic on the two.

Here's a little look into the process I worked through for the two pieces.

Porcelain: Diamond Code!

Hey hey


Just a little heads up.
As of July 2013 Porcelain will be available through Diamond. you can find details HERE

Basically this means that from July you will be able to order Porcelain through most book/comic shops around all around.So anyone who might have missed the Indie release we just finished you will be able to get you mitts on a copy though pretty well any sellers.

Full of Pride: guest spot peek

It's been all systems go early this week. I'm hammering away at a couple of jobs I've had. and full swing into Butterfly Gate Episode #2 but I'm saving some of the work up before I go posting much about it or giving any peeks but it wont be long and I cant wait because I'm having so much fun working on that.

Meanwhile, as I said it's all systems go and i'm having a blast. one thing that's helped break things up a bit it that I'm working on (and nearly finished with my little guest spot in the next issue out of 'The Pride' written bu Joe Glass.

This is essentially my first jump into a Superhero-esq comic and so far it's all kinds of fun.
Anyway I'm constantly putting peeks onto my Instagram feed but I thought my blog could do with a little visual too.


Anyway must dash, more to come!

Sketches: Last for a while

Helloski!

Here's the one sketch i did at Demoncon. I took probably ALL day and two attempts penciling this out for what i thought was a raffle prize. Turned out I wasn't entered as a prize in the end *sniff* but luckily a fellow artist wanted a commission off me so they took this off me. well i took it home and polished it off with inks so getting this to them tomorrow.
I've possibly enjoyed this piece the most out of any I've done recently. Maybe because it's my own characters but just had a lot of fun playing with it.

On the subject of Commissions I'm actually going to take a hiatus off from taking commissions on. I've got a lot of work on and I can get obsessed getting these done to a good standard. So I'm going to officially cut it out for a while and get my head down with all the work and put that time towards getting some short strips and a full short comic done.
I'll be getting to some conventions in the year and will do some sketches then but in the meantime no commissions being taken folks!

Take it easy

Demoncon 5

Hey Hey!
I'm going to be attending my first convention of the year this weekend. you can find me at Demoncon in at the Exchange Studio, Hazlitt Arts Centre, Maidstone, Kent. I'll be selling copies of Porcelain and previews of Butterfly Gate. I'll also be sketching and signing and generally chatting so if you see me and the Porcelain Banner do stop by and have a chat. I'll be taking on Commissions too so if you have any requests, don't be shy!

Sketch inks: I.W.D Lady Of The Tanks

In the name of  International Women's Day I decided to warm up digitally inking an old sketch of Tank Girl.
One of my favorite of the female species in comics. Have a great day ladies :)

I think this Tank Girl pose needs a note: 'After Ashley Wood And Rufus Dayglo' :)

Creator Owned Day: Mother Troll

In the name of 'Creator Owned Day' which is today! I thought i'd share a little peek at a character who will feature in a series i'm attempting to write and draw myself.
 I've only really started so the plot so far is thin and has a long, LONG way to go. plus I have a little short story I want to try before I go into anything too ambitious!

Anyway here you go, I've quickly digitally inked this sketch straight from my notebook. So far she's just known as 'Mother Troll'
