Leftovers

I'm nowhere near any newer material to post as I'm currently in lockdown at the Roche ancestral home. So here's something that's older than sin for you to scrutinise.

Happy New Pictures in 2012 I hope!

Alien


Here's a bit of character design for a personal project. I like how his horrible little feet came out.

Happy Christmas/Miscellaneous!

Hey everybody, hope all are enjoying a nice break from the normal hoo-ha. As I type this I'm munching on a delicious christmas cookie my sterling wife made. Well met, wife.

Here's the pencils to a Cloak and/or Dagger piece I've been working on recently.

Toy Story





Christmas snatches time from me once again, so you mjst live with the newly unveiled cover to Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #1, which launches in January. MTMTE is my last TFs for the foreseeable, bar covers, and will hopefully keep the buzz generated by Death of Optimus Prime alive. Still love those robots though. Hope Slanty Jaws brings me one this year.


Have a homage-tastic Nickmas, Micklickers! X

Spotlights


Ah, drawing a cartoony guy with nice flat colours is like having a little holiday. I wish I could draw like this all the time.

Superman Batman 2011

Heres a christmas tale

I remember the day we did our first one really clearly. I was in 3rd year college, we both talked about wanting to be in Wizard magazine someday.
The end

I love seing the progression in these drawings. Love it. Its pretty unlikely that we'll still be friends in about 2 years, but if we somehow make it s far as when we reach our 60's, then I think this would be the coolest coffee-table book ever.




Heres to another great year. This year I finished up a 29 issue run on Farscape, which was a blast and is responsible for birthing my comic book career. I ended up truely with a second home in New York. Most importantly, as the year draws to an end, I've signed up for 3 pretty big and exciting books. One should be obvious enough, the second, will be a high profile Image book, which is about to be announced, and thirdly, my own book Cú Chulainn will be out at the end of the year, launching definately across Europe (The contract is signed with a big European publisher)

BATMAN


Every December, Will and I have done a Superman/Batman piece. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to do one last year... feel bad about that. Anyway, here's my Batman for 2011. Expect Will's Superman to join him soon.

Forgot to post yesterday so here's a little watercolour doodle inspired by looking at too many Hayao Miyazaki storyboards.


THIS CHRISTMAS, OPTIMUS PRIME DIES!


Spoiler alert.

Apparently, IDW's 'The Death of Optimus Prime' is slithering out a week earlier than scheduled. So this milestone issue will be out on December 21st Stateside, and the 22nd everywhere else hopefully.

To tide thee over until then, check out this panel from the book. Mmm, doomy.

MAN-THING



GAH! Didn't realise it was a Tuesday 'til just now. Here's a Man-Thing sketch I did at Lille a month back. Don't think I've posted this already.

Mini Me


Cartoony-manga version of me and my lady friend. Her hair is much longer now. And our heads are much smaller.

Pigs #04

Out next week kiddies. And by kiddies, I most definately do not mean kids, as its not exactly suitable for them.

GATEWAY


Hey look! A brand new sketch that I coloured and everything!

Doing Northlanders and Thunderbolts at the same time was rough, so I wasn't putting in the work in my sketches. Now that I'm back on one book, I wanted to try a bit harder, even trying my hand at colour. Dunno if this turned out well; I think I might depend on Jordie to make my stuff look good these days. Anyway, was worth a try.

Half Past Danger Frontspiece



Here's something I just finished inking ten minutes ago, a little frontspiece I'll be using for part of a design element on the first issue of my book. Sorry if people are sick of simply seeing image after image from this project on here, but I'm literally spending every waking moment working on it so I have nothing else to offer!

Welcome Back Frank

In the middle of pencilling up a little piece of gift art (no, it's not for you, Egg.) featuring ol' Festive Frank Castle. Tune in next week where I cheekily use the inks for this piece of my entry.
