Fatty-fat-fat-fat

Here's a sketch of nobody in particular (although we can pretend it's Foggy Nelson or something  to keep the comic character vibe going). I was trying to inject some caricature into my drawings of faces, something I've always loved about artists like Parlov and Immonen. This was done with Painter on a Cintiq. 

Ka Dargo

Day 74 in the big brother house and still no one has been voted off. I finished Farscape today so heres Big D. Gonna have a nice bit of time for next weeks piece now so I plan on doing something Dec suggested and drawing one of every character that all the other lads have drawn in their books

SCOTT PILGRIM

Nearly forgot about my Micks drawing this week; did this late last night in about 15 mins. Tried mixing it up a bit this week by drawing a character that no one (myself included) would have guessed i'd draw. I recently read all the Scott Pilgim books to date and really enjoyed them; they have a bit of everything in them; romance, action, comedy and lots and lots of music and videogame references. What's not to like? Scott Pilgrim is normally drawn in a very stylized manner, so i had to figure out my own take on how to draw him.

Big 'Air

The Ragin' Cajun. Every bit of 90's design sensibility wrapped in one N'Orleans purple and black package.
I laugh when I think just how cool I used to think this character was... still like him a lot though.
Just a quick one this time, busy busy. Eleventh week... mad.

Hate The Spider, Love The Man.

The early Roche catches a few minutes to curl off the Spider-Man. Not a terribly challenging effort from me this week - as you can see - but I'm back up to my tidemark in work again, so felt like squirting out some pure fun. Maybe next week, I'll have another of my famed and geometric "Nickleby's Wurld of Gurls."

Thwip!

DOrc/k

Waaay back at the start of my pro comics career, when Warhammer Monthly was still a comic, I was pitching to try and draw some Orcs. The editor (Christian Dunne) was a top bloke, but found it hysterical that I didn't know the difference between Orc and Ork (to this day I still don't know the difference, which shows you: there's ALWAYS a bigger nerd...) Anyhue, here's one of the pitch sketches.

Vulture

What a great week of posts. I haven't seen the site all week and it's good to see 5 or 6 new ones altogether. I'm going to bookmark this page! Mooney, your Wolverine had me in stitches. This is a pencil sketch then a half finished colouring mess job

My webcomic is back again

Glum Conan

I hadn't intended this to be a Micks sketch (or even a picture of Conan when I started) but I've been messing about with a demo version of Manga Studio and this was one of the results. It's by far the best computer drawing program I've used, tailor made for comic book artists. Although because it's a demo it won't let you save pictures, so this is from a screen capture. Hence the slightly crappy quality. 

The Symptoms

Heres a piece I did for Dave Hendrick based on some characters hes currently writing about. I reckon I'm about one third of a way towards some sort of look that I have in my head that kind of mixes some sort of Grindhouse grunge with ripped paper and sellotape. Theres a good chance you'll see more of these characters popping up soon so stay tuned.
P.S. Farscape Strange Detractors issue 2 is out today. Prob not out until friday in Europe because of the bank holiday

CAPTAIN JEAN-LUC PICARD

I'm a huge STAR TREK fan. Really looking forward to this new movie, so i wanted to do a Trek drawing this week. Thing is, i'm not a huge fan of the original series as i grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation (or ST:TNG). As sad as it sounds, Captain Picard raised me.

I originally was going to do a really loose and messy drawing for this (was gonna draw him as Locutus; his Borg persona). As i worked on it though, i pushed the composition and design more, and my actual drawing ended up being a lot cleaner than it has been of late. Guess i just didn't have the balls to go mad with it and played it safe. Still happy with it though. I have the original thumbnail over on my blog if you want a better idea of what i was originally going for.

The Best There Is At What He Does...

...which is apparently vigorous self-pleasure.
I spent a good 2 or 3 hours drawing away on this last thursday in anticipation of the wolvie movie. I was pretty happy with it, was thinking along the lines of showing the feral reaction to that sweet familiar pain as Logan's claws slice through his hands once more.
Then Jac came home from work and rather worriedly asked me what the hell I was drawing before bursting out laughing.
Turns out it was Wolverine tearing the lad off himself.
NSFW, I guess...

PS- this actually originally had blood flying from the back of his fist where the claws emerge. I removed it.

Truly Outrageous

Never seen an episode of Jem and The Holograms, but it being kids' TV week here in the Micklair, plus my reliance on 80s pop to get me through my day edged me toward drawing this tidy piece of electroskirt. Should've eased off the angles possibly, but pointy ladies are SO 1986, right? I love the fact that Jem is dressed in the style of all the current batch of pop-tartlets too. I'm so dated, I'm edgy.

Battle of the Planets

Kids TV eh? Well, since most of the kid tv in my day was made up of monochrome serial adventures (champion the wonder horse, zorro, king of the rocket men, flash gordon, etc) I've been feeling pretty old and left out. The one I remembered we had Battle Of The Planets. With it's gender Indeterminate villain (actually him/her and Tripitaka from Monkey - a male character played by a girl - confused the hell out of me as a youngster).
Anyhue here's a drawing (well photo of a drawing as I can't get near my scanner - though I'll update it when I do) of the hero Mark.

Robots

Hewwo, just back in time to post a recycled sketch. Part of a tremendous story I've been working on since I was 8. Remember Battle Beasts? Well it's that without the gay stickers

Toddle over to where it's all happening over at the SPAZZMOID
