Spidey

This is just a place-holder, will ink and colour this up soon as I get the chance.

Catches Thieves Just Like Flies

Only time for a quick one this week Micks.
I'm off to a festival in France (C'est la vie)so apologies in advance both for the hurriedness of this and my non-participation in Robotech next week.
Looking forward to all your Spideys!

Thor? Only when I pith.

KABOOM!

Never drawn a Thor before. But today I did. Here's to the next 100!

Thor by Stephen Thompson

All the ink on this took and age to dry, hence the lateness. Thor's probably my favourite Marvel character after the Fantastic Four. I got to draw the FF so hopefully one day I'll get a crack at the Mighty one himself.

I will smite your 100th post

Boooom, gotta love Thor. The JMS, Coipel run was just a thing of beauty

THOR (in colour)

100 posts? Man; can't believe we've done 100 posts. Most of us, anyway. Unfortunately, my 100th post is actually an old post. My deadline got moved up so i'm stuck for time this week. Thankfully Jordie Bellaire did me a favour by colouring up my Thor piece from months back, so i nave something 'new' to show. I'll make up for it with next weeks Ultimate Spidey piece, i promise.

Congrats to those who've made 100!

Thor

My favourite version of the thunder god has always been the kickass bearded version that Walt Simonson portrayed. The beard just made him seem that much more manly and...Norse.
A close second would be the recent version that Olivier Coipel served up in his great run on the book. Fantastic stuff.

PS- I wasn't going to devote as much time to this piece at all, but then noticed this morning that this week marks my 100th Micks post. Who wudda thunk it.

Kells Surprise

That doesn't really work...

Big welcome to Tomm! Like every other dull twanny who shites on, I too was steamrolled by that film what he worked on. Every frame triggered pangs of envy but also strong feelings of physical arousal. And I liked that feeling. It's an honour to be in your company. (Though after doing the drawing, the next Mick we recruit needs to be blonde. Or ginge.)

Secret of Kells by Stephen Thompson

The character designs on this film were excellent and really fun to mess around with, although I didn't stay exactly 'on model' here.

Welcome Mr Moore.

What a quality film. Whenever anyone from abroad asks me about art in Ireland I always show them the secret of Kells and they always love it.

THE SIEGE OF KELLS

Welcome aboard Tomm! May i say i loved The Secret of Kells...? No? I can't? Well, let me instead show this piece, to show how much i liked it? Thanks. It's the scene where Kells is attacked. I loved the shift in colour-scheme, the white snow, red fire, etc. Great stuff.

New Member: Tomm Moore

Just a quick note to introduce our newest Mick-head, Cartoon Saloon and oscar-nominated director/vegetarian Tomm Moore. The man is as big a comicbook fan as any of us, so I'm sure we can expect to see some amazing interpretations of the funnybook stalwarts. See below for Tomm's first post of what we hope will be many.

Hello Micks!

Thanks for inviting me to join your blog, its an honour indeed.

I decided to pay tribute to some of our influences on The Secret of Kells , I hope I have time to do something to acknowledge the Hungarian folktales,The Thief and the Cobbler and Samarai Jack as well.....
