The Reaping Race

Another week spent on stuff I can't post so I trawl the archives once more...
This is a proposal we did back in 2003 I believe for a short film based on a short story.
The files got corrupted and all we have are the print outs of the images we sent to the film board.
Until now the only people who ever saw this stuff were the people who turned it down for funding back then. Maybe they were right but I still like some of these designs and think it might have been a nice short.
The painted Background is by Ross Stewart - I did the characters and photoshop colouring.  

Space is Ace

Sample Page-Tastic.

Better than one

Here's a couple of head sketches I did on some scrap paper with a brushpen on a coffee break. Fear my awesome colouring skills!

Teeeny Teaser

Im working on four different books today. It may be a bit much.


Heres a little panel from one of said books.

LOOSE ENDS

This is a piece I did for the Comic Twart blog, so I apologise for 'double-dipping' but deadlines are looming!

You can see the final piece here, it's actually changed a lot. I gave Jordie liberty to change around the piece as she saw fit. She took out the grid lines to make it look like an old movie poster. I was actually going for something similar but I thought her take worked better.

Oh yeah, and pick up Loose Ends #1! It's bloody great.

Black Panther

Sketched this up over the weekend, I really like the current look of the character where he's kind of decked out in parts of SWAT gear over his regular costume.

An Owl wan

I have nothing new from this week to show here so I thought I'd post something from a few months back.
At the start of the year BrenB of the Small Print asked a few people to contribute to a very cool Alphabet project, and I believe it is still in the works to be printed up soon so watch out for that.
Here's my one anyway.... Can you guess my letter?

Not Again

So, at SDCC yesterday, they previewed this tiny nugget of Transformers artwork. It's from the upcoming Transformers #125, a big event issue that draws a line under the previous direction of the book while kerb-stomping the series in a really exciting new direction. In other news at the Con, I was officially announced as the launch artist for one of the new TF ongoing books 'More Than Meets The Eye' which will be written by Guernsey's Greatest Living Transformers Author, James 'James' Roberts and coloured by Josh 'James' Burcham.

So, enjoy this ominous and portentious little banner, won't you?

Cover tease

Here's a (partial) look at the cover for my upcoming IDW one-shot, this time with colours by the wonderful Lisa Jackson.

Holidays

No drawing for me for a week for the first time in probobly 10 yrs

WILD THING

This is a long overdue commission of Wild Thing (the daughter of Wolverine and Elektra from some alternative future or something). Anyway, hope the commissioner is happy with it. I did my best Zaffino impression with the snow at the bottom.

Half Past Danger

Some rough doodles of the main character from a project of my own that I've been tinkering with a bit here and there.

the boy setanta

For Hire, yes?

The legacy of 2D rumbles on..another sketch to dig me out this perpetual hole. Death's Head. Again.

Teaser Trailer

Here's some random panels (kinda like a half assed trailer) from a one-shot I did for IDW that's coming out soon, with wonderful colours by our own Len O'Grady. It has werewolves in it too.

Hey look, its that Cop from Die Hard.

CAPTAIN AMERICA (BUCKY)

Really felt like drawing the 'Bucky' Captain America. I really like the costume, as long as the torso part isn't drawn all shiney.

Great colours by Jordie too.

Dec.

All Batman, All The Time.

PUS

Meet Pus, bare-knuckle bastard.

Another teaser

Here's a little something I'm working on at the moment. I think he has a certain Mr. T quality about him.

Teaser for upcoming project

Who is this, what is it for, is that a Corkman. Who knows... I certainly do

HOBGOBLIN

Good old Hobby. Thought I'd try draw him as I've never drawn him before.... and cuz Jordie's been asking me to draw him for months.

I didn't go with any specific Hobgoblin costume; I just kinda made it up as I went along.

Dec

Katana Girl

For some reason when left to my own devices, I frequently end up drawing women with swords, usually katanas. I just like the way they look I guess. Katanas. And women.

new illo

sorry about the radio silence micks. here's something i did yesterday.

HOW

So, I think I can mention this thing now. Finished up work writing and drawing a 'How To Draw Transformers: Prime' book a coupla months back for the kids. As far as I know it's only available in the States through Scholastic and then only through schools, but it was a fun little gig. Tricky breaking down the complex CG character models into something tween-friendly to draw, but I like the look of the show a lot, so here be Megs and Prime, for your delectation.
