I have started this thread to post any damn doodle you like.
So to kick off here is one what I have done. Not entirely sure what it is but appears to be a heavily armed telly tubby.

I think I'll call him Derek.
More of a work in progress than a doodle, anyway...

And what is it you ask? Well, it's a Robot Zombie Pirate Ninja Nazi, obviously.
I like it! Almost a D'Israeli feel about it, great stuff.

It's a fish man warrior fella innit. The TV obviously hasn't grabbed my attention this evening. Quite chuffed with the moon for a doodle.
Here's one I did a few weeks ago in an attempt to kick-start me into returning to and actually finishing writing the bloody story. Sadly hasn't worked yet. I'm toying with the idea of asking Satchmo for his writing services. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

Can anyone help with posting images ?
I just tried and failed.I have NO clue what a BB code is and in the [totally useless ! Include a step by step guide FFS !!] help section it said that the BB code is the IMG tag ?
I posted the IMG tag from Photobucket inbetween the 2 IMG bracket things that you get when you click on IMG when you post a reply which failed.
I am lost. F-ing technical shit........GGrrrrr...
lol are you uploading them or copying them from a web site.

You've doubled up your tags, Peter, which is why it's not working.
Simply copy the IMG code straight out of Photobucket and paste it directly into the body of your message - no need to faff about with the "Img" button that appears with the other formatting options above the window where you type your message.
Cheers

Thanks for your help.Very much appreciated.Not trying to blame the tools as it were.
I've got a god daughter who would go absolutely ballistic for a 'Jessica Moonbeam, Intergalactic Brownie' book Wils. Stick me down for one if it reaches fruition.
That caricature is 'kin class Johnny.
Is it me or is the resizing function in photobucket counterintuitive? It's probably me.

Bloody hell! That's turned out rather well Radiator. Did you scan the sketch into photoshop or something and work on it from there? I only ask 'cause I got photoshop elements for my mac at christmas and I'm currently getting my head round what it can do, or rather what I can get it to do. Nice work fella.
Cheers. I worked on the sketch a bit more, and inked it with fine liners and a nice brush pen. Then I scanned it into Photoshop (I use Photoshop 7, because my computer is old). I use quite a complex combination of adjustment layers and masks to paint the image, then drop some textures on top.
Quote from: "Kerrin"That's a rather pleasant landscape Peter. Some of the lines in the background are quite light (as they would be), is there a fantastical element to it?
Some of the lines in the background are faint because its not finished yet.I could either add more depth to the background in the distance [but not too much] or cheat and not do any more and it would give the appearance of fog or mist/low cloud in the background.I did a few of these to get the hang of drawing naturalistic rock formations.
Its meant to be a snowscape and its meant to be a view of Snow City [i became obsessed with drawing it] from Meltdown Man [courtesy of Belardinelli] from a different angle or perspective so it is fictitious or fantastical.Make it up as you go along.
Quote from: "peterwolf"ts meant to be a snowscape and its meant to be a view of Snow City
Aha, I thought it was something along those lines. Must admit I haven't looked at Meltdown Man since it was originally published.

That's the whole idea Davey.
Have a crack at the monthly art comp mate. I know that the more entries there are the happier Jim'll be. Sketches are fine there as well. As long as they're relevent to the subject of the comp of course.
The reason I started this thread was for people to post doodles, sketches, scribbles, dawbs and if the fancy takes them, finished pieces. The more the merrier I say. There's a vast wealth of amateur, semi professional and very professional artists on this board who must come up with reams of stuff that wouldn't be classed as a 'finished piece' but are still worth sharing so post whatever the hell you like, I know I'll enjoy looking at all of them.

If you really want to post a picture of your tallywhacker Godders then you go for it young man. Talking of which I'm guessing a man of your cultural calibre has seen the motion picture 'Superbad', the gallery of knob drawings at the end of that very nearly made me shit a lung with laughter. Seriously though, if you can keep your hands of yours long enough, do a wee sketch and post it, and we'll all give you our considered opinions.

Holy crap! I just love that style you've got Clammers, it really is unique. Got any others?
I've got something else that's only half done, I'll try to get round to posting it tomorrow.
Love it.
Did this doodle way back in 2003.Yikes, how time flies. If only I could remember those Wacom pen settings. I find it virtually impossible to draw a smooth curve nowadays.

Mugh obliged, Kerrin. As for Layers, my top tip is to label them and lock them as you go. Saves much heartache when you realise you've just painted all over the important layer accidentally....

Quote from: "SuperSurfer"Nice one fella.
Cheers supersurfer. It's not really a doodle but I've been having a bit of trouble loading stuff up from both imageshack and photobucket . The images all appear a bit too small so I re-sized various pics using the resize button and that seemed to do the trick OK.
Not very internet savvy me when it comes to posting. Has anyone got any advice on how to avoid pit falls such as this? Is there an optimum size to send stuff ? I re-calibrated for a 17 inch monitor then expanded the image a bit using photobucket's resize button but is there an easier way for thicky's like me to pollute the forums with my cyber detritus?
(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg86/ToadyCat/Dredd-meets-the-public-copy.jpg)
Hah! I sneaked this one in before anyone could reply! Dredd meets the public.
Nice, liking that
-Bouwel-
really great stuff Iamthesystem- love the Gibbons-esque one- if you could remove the moire/halftone effect
I always find it best to do any resizing in Photoshop as you can have some control over unwanted effects such as blurring. If the file is layered you will have some chance of controlling the moiré pattern.
IATS: Thats some good stuff you are doing there.
That's a belter Dr.System.
I managed to get properly confused by the resizing in Photobucket. I've found the most reliable method to be putting the width measurement you want in pixels into the first dimensions box, then apply. Then save as a copy. May of course turn out to be the most arse about face method available but it works for me.

Why's that last pic only got 3 fingers and a thumb on each hand?
Never mind, it's obviously some kind of beasty person. Just noticed the pointy nails on the hands and feet in the other pic, and yeah, the chappy in my picture only has 3 fingers too.
I have a bit of a problem in that i cant draw Human characters.I have tried and tried and every time i fail so i just dont bother anymore.I find faces impossible to draw.The first drawing was meant to be human .
Well it does look human, it's just that his nails could do with a bit of a trim, (and the proportions are a bit dodgy but I'll let that pass 'cos it's not easy getting them right).
You certainly seem to be a lot better at the landscapes. No reason not to keep practising with the figure drawing though.
Okay. I did this an hour ago a quick jot of something that I've been meaning to do.
(//http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd95/smellkebab/dreddsketchcopy.jpg)
Krom, that is fab.
Good landscapes peterwolf. You've nailed the sense of depth. Regarding drawing people, just keep at it. And don't be afraid of making mistakes.
Here's another Dreddy found in the depths of my computer from 2004. Wonky eyes, but what the heck, its a doodle.

I never even noticed that at 1.50 am this morning when i drew the human figure.I actually thought it looked OK but now I can see too many faults in it.The chest area is appallingly bad and the left arm is oversized.It was only a 10 minute doodle but its rubbish and should not have been posted.I will post some better examples soon .....
Don't be so hard on yourself Peter, it's obviously a working sketch. Like the man says, keep at it. Better than anything I could do, and I got a B (Hons) in Art (so I must be good).

Get rid of the Nunchukas and use the other arm to hold and fire the gun.
Problem solved.
Anyone remember the old Brian Bolland website? He would include amazing step by step images of his progress on cover artwork. It was surprising to see that he would spend much time to get proportions correct, he would redo different parts of an image over and over until he got it right etc. It's easy to think that the pros just knock up the artwork effortlessly, but they too can agonise over getting things to work. Bolland is so skillful that one could almost think his art was done effortlessly, especially his later work which I would say is more minimalist in the inking.

That Ukko and shoggy beast is very impressive Jimbo. Lovely line work, do you do that directly onto your computer with a tablet or scan a pencil sketch and then ink it? Definitely looks like a shoggy to me. They have a very discernable dentistry.

Its hardly what you would call a doodle is it ? It must have taken hours.
It has a sort of Aztec look to it.I know someone who is an old hippy who does pieces similar to this piece using sacred geometry and lots of colour.
Supersurfers drawings look a lot like Robert Crumb .
Quote from: "peterwolf"Its hardly what you would call a doodle is it ? It must have taken hours.
I think it probably did take a while, honestly can't remember for certain though. I used to do quite a few mandala style drawings, I found they helped me relax while I was going through a bit of a tough patch. Not that I'm a Buddhist or anything you understand, I just found it therapeutic. It's a bit of a brain bender going through old sketchbooks you haven't looked at for years, some good memories, some not so.
When I lost my job I found stacks of sketches while clearing out my desk.. i posted a load of them here..must put the rest up too

Quote from: "radiator"Please elaborate on 'gone dark'...
Love it - does he have a nemesis?
Cheers Rad. Back in around 1981 I came up with his nemesis first, Captain Egg. A good school buddy was feeling a bit left out, so I invented an equivalent hero 'for' him called Captain Chip. Over the years I drifted in and out of contact with the school buddy, then in around 2002 we got in touch through Friends Reunited. We got back to our old doodling ways, this time emailing sketches to each other. I got the ball rolling with this sketch which was apt, except I reinvented Chip as the bad guy who had fallen on tough times and was a bit out of shape. Egg however still remained fresh faced and had maintained his heroic stature.

Quote from: "Kerrin"Christ, I think I met him when I was at Sussex Uni. Didn't he used to drink in the east slope bar.
He may well of. I'm a Sussex lad but I never went to Sussex Uni. Maybe I saw him in Brighton years ago or maybe on the terraces of the Goldstone Ground before it was pulled down.
The only time I ever visited the University of Sussex was in the late seventies as a primary school child. We went to the Gardner Arts Centre to see a production of the Gingerbread Man starring Sylvester McCoy as Herr Von Cuckoo.

Ha ha, I used to love going to the Goldstone. Beer, footie, beer, dog races, beer, curry, beer. Happy days.

Nice! Looks like Sid The Sexist after exposure to gamma rays...
Here's something I've been working on and off on for a while. If I can find the time I'm going to try to paint it.

Thanks for all the kind words about my Slaine picture.
Crikey Moses! That's lovely work Clam. Clash of the Titans meets Mahabarat. Wonderful.
excellent ! you should stick all these up a website
If these appear i'll be pleased, they are not so much doodles but the original idea for them was a doodle.

Sorry about the size.

More out of my sketch book, these are all drawn sketch card size 2.5 inch by 3.5 inch.

great stuff there
Nice pencil work there Flippr. The David Tennant caricature is very well done. What did you colour it with?
Quote from: "flip-r mk2"Sorry about the size.

Those pencil sketches are really awfully good you know.
Very very nice
-Bouwel-
Kerrin, I used a dip pen and brush with 'DalerRowney FW acrylic drawing inks. I water the coloured inks down as I find them to strong to work with, I then build up layers of colour (although I just went with flat colour on that picture). A great medium to work with but very unforgiving if you mess up, if I can find some more of my work post it.

Truly awesome Slaine, Lord Running Clam.
These were drawings that I mentioned earlier, the two Doctor Who were A4 and the Judge Dredd was sketch card sized

QuoteThanks for all the kind words about my Slaine picture.
Thats great work LRC. Not sure if it's Slaine though. Looks like some Greek warrior, fighting the Hydra.
You should ask Pat Mills if he's interested in you becoming the next Slaine artist, his plans for a contiueation od Slaine come to friutition.

I think if you look closely at that Ray Harryhausenesque picture, Thryllseekyr, you will find that the person fighting the Hydra is certainly not Slaine as it is a woman with four arms.
Most likely the Hindu goddess,
Kali.
Lord Running Clam was referring to a picture he'd posted before that one when he thanked people for the kind words.
How can I say that it's still a good picture ( Just look at the etching, the level of detail.) without fully working out what I was looking at. No I didn't notice the extra arms, or the breasts. Maybe when LRC add some colour.

April's art comp entry in progress. I'm realising what a complete nightmare those bloody shoulder eagles are. Gonna have a crack at some megablocks as well. Now, which artist's style to rip off, sorry, reference.
Don't forget to post any damn doodles you like.
This started off as a 15 minute Dredd head but I went 'over budget' so I thought I'd finish it off anyway. I was keen to get doodlin' as I managed to get my Wacom pen under control as lately it was behaving like a pen possessed. I guess if I intended to spend so much time on it I would've worked out the proportions a bit more. Old bucket head sure is a tricky chap to draw.
(//http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/dreddart.jpg)
Very nice. A little bit like early John Higgins Dredd. Top of the range MC1 behind him too
Cheers for the kind words JayzuzB. I used an earlier MC1 comp entry of mine for the background.
Very nice Supersurfer. The light effects on his lid have worked well. I'm still getting my head around the fact that you can sketch in whatever colour you like with an art program and use lighter shades over dark with no bleed through from below.
Thanks Kerrin. I'm still trying to work out whether I should work entirely on the computer or sketch on paper, scan in and take it from there. Due to laziness, I tend to do the former. I am also finding out that many drawings I do end up in differing styles as I haven't worked out pen settings that I am happy with and that I can stick to.
Some artists such as Frazer Irving, Dave Taylor and D'Israeli to name a few are most generous in passing on their wisdom on their blogs so I should pay more attention to their wise words and pick up some tips.
I've just found this doodle I did in a boring lecture at Preston Polytechnic 24 years ago!
(//http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd359/anaconda888/sketch001.jpg)
Was it a boring lecture by any chance?
Sorry about the gap in the post at the top of the page. I managed to delete the image at photobucket not realising it was a link for the artwork here. Doh. Is it just me or is photobucket a bit knackered at the moment?
Quote from: "Kerrin"Was it a boring lecture by any chance?
yup.
The clue was this bit:
Quote from: "dandontdare"this doodle I did in a boring lecture
Jesus. I'm not saying I'm suggestable or anything. "These aren't the droids we're looking for".
I know this doesn't count as a doodle any more, but I've finally finished painting it so I hope it's ok to still post it up here.
It's around A3 size and in watercolours.
(//http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/12345clam/cdfs.jpg)
That is a wonderful piece of work LRC. Definitely one for framing and hanging.
Post whatever you like. I don't know about everyone else but I'm always happy to see what people have been working on. It never gets boring. The more artwork threads the better in my opinion.
Glad you like it.
I'm not sure if the size I've posted it at might drown the detail a little though.
Try it at 700 pixels wide, see what it looks like.
I couldn't work out how to enlarge the first picture so I hope you don't mind me posting it again slightly larger.

Another ancient sketch.

You can see more of the detail now Clam. Even lovelier.
I'm glad I'm not in your parish Albion.
Quick doodle on a free art package called Gimp. I'm getting more used to the feel of a graphics tablet now though I might shell out for a slightly larger one at some point. This Gimp programme seems fairly good for gratis, but then I freely admit to knowing jack shit about art packages.

I hate threads like this. They make me feel inadequate. I can't draw for shit.
Ah yes my dear doctor, but none of us are trained physicians. So whereas we may be able to produce doodlage with varying degrees of success, there's not one of us could perform an examination of someone's thrombosed haemmerhoids with the gusto of your good self.
Keep up the good work and why not have a doodle anyway.
Have been sketching all day today. Bristol expo kind of inspired me to get out of my comfort zone a bit. Here's a scene I first saw when I was about six or seven. God knows what the story was, life's too short to go a-hunting.

Quote from: "Kerrin"an examination of someone's thrombosed haemmerhoids
really sounds quite painful, so I'll stick to doodles too.
And then I went careering back into my comfort zone... Ah well...
COR! That's pukka pencilwork Fester.
Really nice shadows on the Daredevil one. A great pose too.
But that Judge Death is feckin awesome. I often find myself preferring pencils to fully inked works, I dunno, I just like being able to see how the artist has worked the piece. Nice work.
Really liked your comp piece as well.
Quote from: "The Enigmatic Dr X"I hate threads like this. They make me feel inadequate. I can't draw for shit.
Have you pushed yourself to see if you really can draw ?
Even if you can draw that doesnt mean that you dont feel inadequate.Usually its because what you have drawn isnt up to scratch that makes me feel inadequate and have feelings of intense self loathing so its all relative.
Liking the Judge Death pic a lot.
Cheers guys. The pencil bug has well and truly got me again. You can spend hours in photoshop and not achieve anything solid but pencils are a bit more instant

That's a really nice piece of work Peter. Your inking's looking very good. What kind of size is that,A3?
Top notch doodling of the old school there Vzzbxx.
What about a "Gallery" thread for people to show off finished pieces they'd like to share. Some of the pieces here are far too good to be considered doodles. I know a lot of you guys have blogs and such that you post stuff on but I was thinking there would be some people who just do occasional stuff that they might like to post on the forum. I was just going to start one but I haven't come up with a witty enough title for the thread yet. Any ideas?
Quote from: "Kerrin"What about a "Gallery" thread
Hear hear! Hopefully there'll be a fan-art section when (if?) the rest of the website ever gets finished. I'd like to see all the winners from the art comps (or maybe even all the entries) gathered in one place.

"That's a really nice piece of work Peter. Your inking's looking very good. What kind of size is that,A3?"
Its A4 in size .It would take me a week to fill up an A3 sized page.
That's pretty bloody good, Peter.
You're really getting the hang of this, aren't you?
He is, though, isn't he? peterwolf - now king of the rocky landscapes
Sort of getting the hang of it.
Its what i choose to do with my spare time and the more you do the better you get.I just keep at it and at it and at it.
I am not the King of rocky landscapes yet though.
There is and always will be only one king of rocky Landscapes and I am just a copyist or imitator of his work.
Go on, then, I'll take the bait. Who is the king of rocky landscapes?
Scuse the double post, but I do remember this (and not much else) from my art college days:
(//http://www.jim3dlong.com/1460_Andrea_Mantegna_The_Agony_in_the_Garden-wL400.jpg)
Mantegna liked his rocks. And his Jesuses. (Jesi?)
In 2000ad terms it has to be Belardinelli because if anyone else can draw rocky landscapes or landscapes in general better then i am not aware of them and have never seen their work.
It only my opinion of course ......

bellardinelli did cross my mind. have to say, your landscapes are up there with his these days, though his aliens and animals will always rule (if not his Slaine).
Think the Tower of Babel was one of the Breugels, the Elder maybe. Used to have it on my wall and later as a screensaver, it's a really good piece of work.
Pretty sure it was the Elder Breugel.

Woah there !
I am glad you like them but if you did a comparison to of mine to his his are way superior to mine.I cant scan so i cant prove it.
I have only done 2 of these and thats no comparison to a genius who had been doing it for decades.
I am a bit uncomfortable with the comparison to be honest.His work was original and mine arent.Mine are a homage and i have yet to do anything original.Not yet anyway.I am fascinated with it and i had a go myself and thats what happened.
I havent tried Aliens yet but i have done plenty of Animals .

I was a bit taken aback by your flattery.
And yes i will be keeping up the good work
Quotei am not being awkward or difficult or anything.
I realise that, don't worry. Most decent artists are their own worst critics, in my experience.
Whereas on the flipside, my friend's 'undiscovered artistic genius' flatmate is convinced that 'this stuff will be worth a fuckin' fortune when I'm dead', and he's absolutely, irredeemably muck. Sorry, but he is.
Anyway, like I say, keep it up, Peter, you're kicking proverbial bottom there.

Good stuff Pete. The fog has worked well.
You should get yourself a scanner/printer/copier, I bought one recently and was surprised at how reasonable they are now. I got an Epson SX600FW with all the bells and whistles and seperate ink cartridges so you can buy them individually and it was £83 from Amazon. I was mistakenly thinking that printers were still a couple of hundred quid. Good for copying and darkening pencils before having an experiment with how you want to do the inks, and of course no damage to the original (good advice from Radiator that was). Looks flash too.

Wow, some pretty cool stuff here guys.
@ Peter Wolf: that last one is a great little piece - fantastic - loved it as soon as I saw it!
I like that M.I.K. Took me a second to twig it, must be getting slower in my dotage.
Noticed in a bookshop on Sunday that there's a Haynes manual for the Lunar Lander now. That's a Dad christmas present if ever I saw one. Means I get a read of it too of course.

You are too kind.
I dont like it much myself but it was just an exercise in drawing what i imagined.
I need a finer brush as to me it looks coarse and sloppy because i cant get fine enough lines.
Another superb thread, you guys are too much! Kudos to Kerrin for that teletubby, LRC for that friggin' ace Slaine, Supersurfer for his hard as nails Dredds, and Radiator for bringing the freaky. Take a bow gentlemen. I wanted to upload stuff but I keep forgetting I have to resize image files to fit, and currently can't be arsed. No excuse.
I just saw magnificient Slaine art from Wooley.
Great stuff, very inspiring and the subject matter very supportive of my interest in the character.
Hey, I wish to see a hardback coffe table book filled with fan based and work of official 2000AD artists related to the Slaine-verce.
Well, I can only wish for that anyway.
That picture from Peter wolf.
Looks like a Church. say... didn't you mention that you lived across the road from one.
Just a afterthought on the Slaine picture.
A couple things worth discussiing.
First of all. Elric's supernumerous nipples.
//http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernumerary_nipple
I was looking for the exact word used in the James Bond film "The Man with the Golden Gun". I think it was supernumerous or something like that.
Anyway, is this just a some artistic licence or has this been shown in the strip or referred to in th past. I know about the third eye, but this
While it doesn't ring a bell. It does suit his deviant nature and as it's stated in the wiki entry linked above. It's was known as a sign of affinity with witchcraft or being a witch in the middle ages.
Suitable it is and I was also wondering if your drawing a parralell with Slaine, Elfric and the character Francisco Scaramanga,
Both are villains.
Looking at the picture again. I notice that Slaine is wearing two-tone tarten breechs.
Yellow checkers on one side and red checkered on the other.
Is there story behind that ?
Elfric's pose, his cape draped over one shoulder, keeping one arm complety hidden.
While the other is poised, empowered with latent energy.
It looks like he's just left that sword -possibly the Excaliber-- in the already decapitated Formorian or what ever that is.
Haqrd to see who used that sword, but Elfric's standing right next to it and Slaine has his hands full with Brain-Biter and the Flaming Spear of the Sun
Elfric entire pose....
Almost like he's in tempory alliance with Slaine. Thats what it suggests, despite what its looks like he's about to do with his free arm and the defiant expression on Slaine's face. Which might almost be in agreement with the blue skinned prince of demons.
That expression on Slaine's face. It might almost be a conspiratorial nod to Elfric. Hard to tell really, but he might be either shaking Brain-Biter at him or twisting his grip on it into mockery of the thumbs down signal.
Hard to tell what Elfric might be thinking because of full face helm.
Does he mean "
Down with you!!! Elfric" or "
Down with You and those formorians" or "
I with you Elfric, but just for now. While together we take down a legion of these sea demons.I guess the the answer based on character history is the correct one.
Once again,. I like to say I like to see a book filled with your work, partically your work on Slaine.
I also wanted to say something about M.I.K's picture. Thats very macabre and isn't that the character daughter from "Rosanne". Weird and horrriifc at the same time, but why?
Pete your art is too good to be just a doodle. Perhaps start up a new thread titled awesome dang art.

I was tidying up a cupboard and found a drawing I started of Dredd and Hershey. I was trying to do it from memory- and didn't succeed as you can see, Hershey's Chief Judge uniform lacks shoulder pads. I should've checked before I started to ink it- but it's easy to say that in retrospect. IIRC that's pretty much why I didn't bother to finish it...

Thats not bad as it goes and it definately has an Ezquerra look to it.
These were on the same bit o' paper...
(//http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h134/Dog_Deever/TwoDredds.jpg)
They were pretty much deliberately done a la Carlos- I've got some others somewhere in the stylee of other 2000ad artists. The point was to try to learn a bit about how other artists have tackled the subject. As I say, it was more of an exercise than 'producing original work'.
Nice exercises there Dog. I used to do the same thing with my Asterix books. Think I might have a go at something similar myself. I'm finding myself making some really basic mistakes since I got back into drawing, mostly with perspective and anatomy. Closely studying and imitating a proficient artist is an age old method of improving your own technique. There's nothing wrong with a bit of copying for research purposes. And art comp covers.
There's always an aversion to copying work- it's pretty much a modern attitude. If done for educational purposes, it's a good way of learning 'how' and, more importantly, 'why' artists do things the way they do.
In refusing to do it, people are pretty much saying that the discoveries made by every artist who has gone before are worth nothing.
Anything else in life is learned through imitation. Imagine if we all learned to speak by just making it up as we went along! Nobody would understand each other. People learn musical instruments by first imitating the music of artists they like, until they gain confidence and an understanding of how to play and the forms and structure of music. They can then create original pieces.
Well, that's how I justify it to myself anyway!
(Though, funnily enough, I can't play anyone elses tunes on guitar- I just make it up as I go along!)
I copy all the time and i am copying right now as a way of learning how to ink and learn about shading and light and shadow and all that.

I completely agree with every word of that.
Every kind of learning curve involves someone else demonstrating how something is done and then you learn by repetition.
Anyway learning by copying is fine but eventually your own style should develop on its own.Not everyone can be or wants to be an innovator because they might be perfectly happy working in a particular style that is suited to themselves.
You get whole schools of artists that work in a particular style or movement like Cubism or Impressionism so i dont see what the problem is if there is one.Look at Watercolours for example .They are all very similar with various degrees of competence in the work.
Originality is just one of many aspects of artistic expression.
Yep, no Carravaggio- no Rembrandt. No Rembrandt- no David, and so on.
Your own style should come through in the end as it's very difficult to keep up drawing in someone else's style from memory. It's best to take from several sources though. Eventually my own laziness should win out and develop something slightly different from the original inspiration.
I hope!
Couldn't agree more.
I did some design work for a story that a mate submitted to Zarjaz fairly recently- cadets fro Deadworld. I looked back and copied various cadet uniforms and Deadworld judge uniforms by different artists, also copying Judge Fear. I found it really helped in coming up with uniform designs.
Anyway the script didn't make the cut, so the whole lot is languishing in a folder and on my computer.
Still, I was happy enough with the drawings.
Are you able to post them? Or would that be out of order to your mate?
some of them, yeah... I'd have to find all the earlier drawing and scan etc- but some of the finished stuff is here...
Judge Fear studies a la Gibson/ Staples/ Bolland:

The greyscale pictures were done with a marker and a marker that was nearly run out (faster than photoshop or watered ink!)
I then opted for a thinner line in places and ditched the greyscale for the other ones. There was still a little work to be done, but s'water under the brig noo!
Nice one Dog. That first cadet design works really well.
Cheers. The quest for originality continues!
Those Judge Fear drawings are really rather good and would look good up on the wall.
hah! Fat chance in my hoose- Mrs Deever would administer the death of the blood eagle with kitchen implements!
Anyway- I might have drawn them, but it's not really my work (unfortunately).
So they sit around in a folder which disappears under piles of other shite from time to time.
I can't stand looking at my own stuff after a while, all the inadequacies glare out as if surrounded by a 'ready brek' glow!
Mrs Deever once put up some paintings I did whilst at college because she liked them. After suffering them for a couple of years I couldn't stand it any more so I waited til she was out then took them down and banished them to the attic (she doesn't like heights and can't climb up to get them). That settled that. Cruel and shitty, I know- but it needed doing, they were driving me mental.
By way of reparation I bought her a big Waterhouse print and had it framed and put it up.
Here's one for you, Peter (I've been tidying up today)- done in black biro with no pencilling, although the refernce material was in front of me.
(//http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h134/Dog_Deever/MassimoSketches.jpg)
and more complete (pencils and inks)...

Nice one.
I want to frame some of mine and hang them up but for a start professional framing is something i cant stretch to at present and also each time i finish a piece i think i will frame it and then later on i realise that it isnt quite good enoughalthough its getting better.
I never get tired of looking at the good pieces though.

Thats how I post alot of the time.
This afternoon, after I had vanquished the secondary rain forest that had taken up residence in the back garden, I have been messing around with little 300x300 pixel doodles for avatars.

Current favourite.
Great fun. Have a go.
I rather like the self-portrait one.

Only natural, I am a bit of a stunner.

'Nother one.
The current favorite of yours that is your Icon is brilliant.
Its a perfect icon and it ought to be the next Smiley that ends up as part of popular culture.It would be just as good without the teeth.
It seems to imply stupidity.
Thankyou.
I believe it's working within the constrictions of the 300x300 format that has imbued the image with it's moronic purity.
I somehow managed to lose my old icon when fiddling with setting so I painted this one.
It's not 300 x 300 but hope you don't mind me posting it.
Doing my own icon design was quite fun so I may have a go at another at some point.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/12345clam/clampicfinal.jpg)
Hey, that's brilliant your clamness. How big can we make our avatars now to import them? I guess it's not 300x300 anymore.
And you post whatever you like here Clam, same as ever.
A rather more civilised avatar. I've done all these mucking about in "Gimp" with the most basic of settings.
(http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq47/spugnut/Pipeavatar.jpg)
I like your new icon.
Cheers Clam.
You having a crack at the art comp this month? We'd all love to see some more of that wonderful clammy stuff.
No, Hit a bit of a block last couple of months and haven't been able to come up with much of anything and have left it a bit too late to really do anything for the comp this month.
I'm going to give my self a kick and either do something for the next comp or just some stuff to post here in the doodle thread. Got a couple weeks of holiday coming up so no excuses not to try painting something.

Not really a doodle, but I recently did a clutch of tattoo designs and was particularly pleased with this one. Just wanted to share...

At least yours loaded up properly. Mine was a dismal failure and now I can't find the delete button. Bah.
Yours is very classy and cool though.
Zarjazzer, it says your image dimensions are only 99 by 72 pixels. Sure you haven't accidentally resized it in photobucket? Or somehow uploaded a thumnail to your album?
Incidentally, if you 'preview' the post before you send it you can see how the image is going to come out before committing. Always useful for checking the image is going to show as you intend it to.

Cheers for that. I've probably re-sized it too small. Oh well. Now it belongs to the ages! I tried re-sizing it in photobucket but it just cocks up. I have the tech gene missing.

Thats some nice piece of work Rad.

HOLY CRAP!
I wish my doodles got out of hand like that Radiator. That's ace mate. The colouring work is particularly successful, it's got a really good finish to it. Love the rain effect with the streaks of light and the blood has come out excellently, you get a real sense of movement and action. Nice work.
Isn't there a finished work gallery in the new creative common section yet? Should be.
I like the high fibre zombie as well M.I.K, nice rollneck.
C'est magnifique Radiateur ;D
Nice work radiator. Loving the gleeful smiting of bad guys going on...
Brilliant. Yes, Radiator, that did get out of hand. Surely it's a bit offensive to zombies though?

I was wondering what would happen if a vampire was bitten by a werewolf or zombie, and if this idea has ever been used in fiction...?

That is another awesome piece Radiator, I'd hate to meet the bugger that took the bite out of him.
A while back I bought several issues of ZARJAZ from Bolt 01 and when these excellent publications turned up (almost instantaneously and at a very reasonable price) I found that Bolt had done a lovely sketch of The Mighty One for me as an added bonus. So with the kind permission of Bolt (cheers Dave) here is his verdant majesty.

That is an amazing piece radiator and good stuff from M.I.K too at his art page.
A werewolf bitten by a vamp/zomb is a good idea due for a ahem (no pun) revival.
Here is an out of proportion Bats that I doodled while watching BBC iPlayer. I must stop being so lazy and try drawing and inking on paper.

Very nice stuff, Peter. I have to say, I'm consistently impressed by the progress you're making with your Belardinelli-scapes. Keep it up!
Nice Peter, very nice!

Quick sketches to establish the look of a briefly-appearing character in a strip I've nearly completed for Dogbreath.

Sorry for the double-post but here's another Dredd I've just done - Quite Frankly, it owes a serious debt to a certain artist, can you guess who? Took a bit longer than 15 mins, which excluded it from the other thread!
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/quitelydreddforweb.jpg)
they're both excellent mygrimmbrother but Snake is definitely my fave! I just bought the most recent Futurequake and Zarjaz-looks like I'll be adding this when it comes out.
Classy. 8)
Cool stuff Grimm. I had a look at those on your blog the other day, you've got some great work on there. Got to say that Plissken character is a doozy and I can't wait to see the strip in Zarjaz.
Loving the snake!

QuoteLoving the snake!
Are you now..?
Thanks for the feedback from everyone.
Keep up the good work everyone and remember the more you keep drawing the better you get.

Yes, everything is disguised/enhanced by a photoshop filter, but hey, they're quick sketches and I think it looks cool!
Can you make your pictures bigger?
Woops, sorry! Are they way too big?
Those sketches are nice, but I'd like to see them sans-filters!
Here's another drawing I was finishing off yesterday:
(http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs48/i/2009/228/8/e/Urban_Guy_Profile_by_TomBerryArtist.jpg)
Great sketches there Grimm, Alpha is looking particularly good. I can see what Garageman means about the size though, on my piddling little laptop I have to scroll down a fair bit to see the image so it looses it's impact as a whole.
And that's a lovely profile you've done there Radiator, very clean, is it for a specific project?
RETRO DREDD!!!

Awwwww, Rads! That's great. Nice backdrop, nice shadow effect, superb helmet design. Your stuff gets better and better!
Here's the finished watercolour painting of the pencilled Slaine I posted awhile back.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/12345clam/newslaine159.jpg)
Upstaged!
That's great, LRC! Really love the watercolours, but have you ever tried colouring your stuff in Photoshop?
Sorry, didn't mean to upstage you, Radiator.
I've never used Photoshop or really tried do any art using a computer before.
I've always liked the feel of producing physical artwork from pencil to colour by hand.
Not to knock using computers though, as I really like seeing what people using them can produce.
I love the watercolours you use Clam- and you have a great style
more please
(you too radiator!)
I really want to see Radiator's work in my Prog. PLEASE THARG!
You're in luck, Johnnystress, as I've just finished these.
Both are A4 and in watercolours. I think I've got to start to work on backgrounds more as right now they are quite basic.

Cor! They're great Clam, I love the horse. That Slaine has come out really well with the colour as well.
Cool Dredd Radiator, the lighting is excellent.
Youse two guys have got such distinctively unique styles, and they're both class. Thanks for sharing your stuff with us, always a pleasure, never a chore.
A cartoony Anderson, work-in-progress. Kinda inspired by Rufus' stuff.

This started as my attempt to enter the "Dredd's head in 15 minutes" but, given my inexperience with digital stuff (it was a learning experience) and my idiotic failure to set an alarm on my phone by the time I looked round nearly an hour had elapsed.
Like it Mike, more please.
And now for something completely different. Lovecraft territory:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/lovecraftpic.jpg)
"Nicely executed and atmospheric" was my thought. Then I scrolled down and saw the shadow and grinned. Well done, MGB.
Really nice, Mike and mygrimmbrother.
The shadow reminds me of something from Warhammer 40K. I think it's an Eldar Wraithlord (image here (http://kofler.dot.at/40k/units/Eldar_Wraithlord_3.jpg)), but I'm not absolutely sure.

Nice Flip, who's that first guy?
This is a sketch from years ago, remember doodling it on a post-it note (probably at work). I called it 'Evil Rooney Priest'. Just scanned it and tweaked it a little in photoshop:

QuoteNot doodles but where else can i show them.
They're lovely pieces Flip, and you're right, we could do with a proper gallery. I had thought people would post doodles and working sketches etc here, but the standard of finished work that people keep posting deserves to be showcased in a more salubrious salon than this doodle thread.
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the new posts of boarders artwork, I always try and guess what it's going to be when I click on the thread and I'm constantly surprised and delighted. We could just do with a gallery of some sort. There were discussions elsewhere in the creative common feature requests thread, I think, but nothing productive yet. Anybody got any ideas?
Nice doodle Grimm.
Grim, I love that. He looks like a character from Defoe. In a good way.
cheers mike. probably hogging this thread too much but here's another:

Thanks for the kind words from all,the top picture is of the original Davros from Genesis of the Daleks mygrimmbrother, really liking your pieces of art. I always enjoy this thread for the sheer range of subjects,styles and materials used to produce the art.Good work everyone and long may the art continue to flow.
flip ;D
Great stuff - very atmospheric. I see it is a warm-up for "Back From the Depths" - be sure to keep us updated on progress there as I'll be interested to see how it turns out. You should give the FQP boys a nudge about doing something for the Something Wicked.
I liked this on your blog which I saw last night:

I changed mine recently Kerrin, but when I did, it appeared as though it hadn't worked, with the old one re-appearing. However, after checking back some time later the new one had in fact appeared, so maybe there's a delay for some reason.
PS - ace character!
Cheers Grimm, I'll give it another shot.

I had the same experience re-sizing a photo - It was huge, so I resized it to 'medium' in photobucket but it looked exactly the same, so I resized it to 'small' - still no effect. Next day however it was postage stamp sized!

very atmospheric, and bags of character.
Cheers guys. Looking forward to working on the full script now :)
Those look really good. I see on your DeviantArt page that this is for a graphic novel (which sounds very intriguing - anymore clues?) so good luck with that and let us know of your progress.
Cheers Emperor, will do. Can't really let the cat out of the bag but I'll let you know when it's done.
When its done? You'd better draw quickly!!

Ditto.
Cheers lads, the idea (conceit) was that that is me, or as far as this forum is concerned, that is me, and I was going to do the character as various tooth favourites as I supposedly travel around the many 2000ad universes by means of my "DIMENSION TRIKE!". Jesus, I should probably have just kept that to myself.
A mini strip could be fun though, maybe the full unexpurgated story of my jimping weekend break in the Big Meg. I've still got to do some more work on the fatty tank as well.
Fatty tank and Dimension Trike? Jimping holiday?
You're nuts, Kerrin. I love it.
The world needs more Fatty Tank. One sketch was not enough! Go to it, Kerrin!
I've done a couple of very basic layouts for a fatty tank one parter, but this comics lark isn't nearly as easy as some people make it look.
Jim's recent lettering masterclass (stickied at the top of creative common) is going to be a massive help when I get to that stage. Other advice freely given by the good folk of this board has given me the confidence to at least have a go at doing a multipage story (when I say multipage, possibly more than two).
It's great! ;D
I'm thinking I'll do the "adventures by dimension trike", (I'm not settled on a trike really, it's a bit too obvious) as a three panel strip and the fatty tank as pages.
I'm also going to have a play with google sketchup, (link here (http://sketchup.google.com/index.html), to do some building layout and perspective because my attempts are looking decidedly wonky. I'll stick some stuff up here once I've got something half decent laid out, at the moment they're a bit shit.

I'm getting nothing there.
As mentioned in the art competition thread Blogspot isn't really set-up as an image hosting service and trying to hotlink (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotlink) to their images seems to give variable results. Click here:
http://picasaweb.google.com
If you are logged into your Google account it should show the images you've uploaded for your blog and it should give you better links to use for embedding images (as they are set-up as an image hosting service).
Coo, looking at it on your blog (http://pencilmonkeymagic.blogspot.com/2009/09/heres-what-you-couldve-won.html) that is a damn fine start. While it'd be interesting if someone finished it I'd love to see you return to it when you have less on your plate.
Right, see what you mean, cheers. It deson't work just linking to properties on the pop up. Although picasa seems to shrink it by 500pixels or so. Well, I guess everyone gets the idea by now.

That is a real beauty, uncle fester. Love the poses, and the form of the alien.
Your drawing is fantastic Fester, always a pleasure to see the bare pencil work. Really well designed image as well, I'd love to see that finished, even if it was just the pencils.

You need to go to the "get this link" feature on the right of the gallery - that gives you the image link and a link to the larger version (doesn't seem to be a BB Code option that I can see though).

Edit to add: Don't worry, Bolt! Did this on a break from 'Old Friend' ...
Fucking mad!! I was hoping someone'd ink that little beast. Many thanks Jim.
Apart from anything I'm thinking of it as a superb tattoo design for me!
Lovely job Jim!
That really is a great design and pencils from Fester. I wonder if anyone will take up the challenge of colouring it in the "Pass it on" thread?

Fucking hell Jim you have made my week. That is absolutley astounding and I've spent the last ten minutes trying to pick my jaw off the floor. If our paths ever cross in real life I'm buying you several beers for that.

I like that design a lot and i like the illustration in it
I like the white on black design and the simlicity of it plus the typeface chosen is one i like a lot.It might be Caslon but i might be wrong as i have forgotten all the names of typefaces.
That was inspired if you knocked that design out quickly with little thought.
I think you've struck a good balance between professionalism and mental there. Reminds me of Scarfe's drawings for The Wall.

YES! One swift, judicious application of a paper cut to the jugular. They'll certainly all be talking about me then.

Sans serif will work better at smaller point sizes -- serifs will tend to fill in. There are those who find sans serif a bit bland, so perhaps something a little more unusual for one element to add a bit of design 'colour' ...?

Wow, thanks for taking the time to do that Jim. It seems a lot more fun now. Too late for BICS because I'm off to Brum straight from work this evening, but I'd perhaps like to use it in the future. Do you think you could email me a decent file size version, if you didn't mind?
Well, there's me all ready to go tonight- thought I'd catch up on a few threads I'd not looked at for a while and WOW! That ALIEN Pic id fab. I really like Jim's inks as well (but you better get your gothic ass back to work!) now, who's going to colour that bad boy?
I like that MyGrimBruv'.
I like the subtlety of your understated type next to the nuts image (if you don't mind me calling it that).
It's quietly sinister.

Thats the same reason that i liked the design as well.Plus the white on black theme which i will use on my cards when i get some printed up.I like business cards as a medium for good design.
The illustration on the card makes me think of Scanners.

JOCK??? Holy shit!! Even in jest, that's going on my tombstone!
Coloured version, might tinker with it further though:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/cameradreddcoloursmall.jpg)
Hey, I really like that mygrimmbrother. Nice and gritty.
Great stuff and I too thought "Jock" when I first saw it - he is the king of the down-the-barrel shot after all.
http://2000ad.org/?zone=covers&page=sketches&choice=4.02&Comic=megazine
And the brooding-looming Dredd
http://2000ad.org/functions/cover.php?choice=1304&Comic=2000ad

And other figures:
http://2000ad.org/?zone=covers&page=sketches&choice=3.77&Comic=megazine
As it is an extreme down-the-barrel shot (so far down the barrel you can nearly see the hammer) it might even be classed as hyper-Jock - at the very least it is Jockesque. ;) Which, of course doesn't take anything away from the piece.
Coloured version, might tinker with it further though:
This has got to be a cover! Tinker, mygrimmbrother tinker away!
Wow mygrimmbrother that is just awesome. 8) 8)
That's a really nice piece of art there mygrimmbrother.
filip
I haven't been on my photoshop for three months or more sore I doodled this to chaff off the rust. Its inspired by the recent Mothman Propehecies showing the other night and John Keel's understanding of UFO phenomena.
That's really creepy Krombasher! :o
fabulous! 8)
Cheers man. The style is inspired by all the scratchy, eye witness pencillings. A folio of stressed sketches, flipped by the minds eye as 4 to 5 brushes were created.
A lot of happy accidents occurred too. Like accidentally remembering to try out inks on an overlay layer above the gradient layer. Digital doodling is such fun.
Good one Krombasher. Thought that was a smiling Chuckwalla from Strontium Dog at first.
That's superb Krombasher, really works. Excellent palette too. I love that the style of it apes those scratchy eyewitness sketches too.
The overall effect has something of a Shakara feel too!
That really is rather extraordinarily good.
Beautiful especially the scratchy shading and it looks ever so slightly fuzzy or the background does which gives it a 3D effect.
Not enough Fatties lately.
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/Fatty.jpg)
FATTY BOOMBATTY! Nice one SS.
That Mothman piece is damn good Krom, admirably scary and you've captured the eyewitness effect perfectly.
Love that Dredd your Grimness.
This is as far as I got with this month's art comp. It was going to be flappin' awesome, Shakara, Zombo and Dredd having a picnic in the midst of a crystal column landscape with a miniature fortified town (on a tree branch) in the foreground, being attacked by robot beetles. Not much good if you don't finish it though.

Heh, just saw the down the barrel pic based on one of my photos from BICS,
Nice one, I did take quite a few like that, but the helmet was a bit off-centre and I didn't notice until afterwards, but the lawgiver hides it in that particular pic :)
Cheers!

Been trying to nail Dredd's likeness for most of my life. Has to be one of the trickiest comic characters to draw. So many different interpretations of him out there just to make matters worse.
This is a going to bed delaying tactic. Might've been done in under 15 mins but not sure so I'll bung it here.
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/dredd-doodled.jpg)
You make it your mission to finish that composition Kerrin. That is a wraparound cover in the making.
I went back in time and updated my Dredd heads above with the full set.
Supersurfer, those have got a real something about them. Very good and nailed both the look and the feel of the character very well. I like.
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/cameradreddcoloursmall.jpg)
Excellent work mygrimmbrother, that would make a cool animation style for a Dredd cartoon.

I remember colouring this page with felt tip pens along time ago, they bleed right through the page if I remember rightly so this time I printed the page out(printer has durabrite permanant inks so the black didn't run) and I decided to try painting it with my trusted FW acrylic inks.

This is my first attempt at digital inking. Not too upset by how stomm it looks, but it is a start after all.
Don't know about being quick- it took me flippin' ages as well.
Oh, I think you'll probably get the hang of it Bolt. ;D
I do like that helmet design you've developed mate, the flared rim looks good.
What did you use? Pshop? Manga Studio?
That was in PShop CS2, and when Mini-Bolt saw it he just asked why I wasn't using Illustrator? So... I'm going to have a go at the same scan using Illustrator later.
However- I use Illustrator for lettering and have never really thought of using it for drawing- do you know of a BASIC guide to using it for such? All the tutorials I've seen seem to think I know about selecting pens and shit.

Dredd's looking great here Bolt - quite handsome too!
Fester - nope, though i guess they are very similar. Thinking of doing a pic of the krool heart from bad company for the comp, soo doodled these ifantry first just as a warm up.
btw, anyone recognise the smiling krool fella?
He's called "Simply"
I did indeed. First thing I noticed. A fine bunch of Krool there, one of Twoth's finest alien races EVER.

Like Dredd's slightly flared helmet makes him look more of a facist than ever though Mongrol of ABC warrior fame doesn't look very happy at being arrested.
Well that's celebs for you..
I did this recently partly because i am a fan of the strip[Meltdown Man] and because it was an exercise in improving my brushwork and brush control when using ink.
(http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt110/peterwolfffffff/Photo58.jpg)
Wow, that's fantastic Peter!
Far too little Meltdown Man stuff around...
-Bouwel-
Ha! I read the ' simply ' tale recently.
It's beautiful isn't it? 5, maybe 6 pages and a real nice throwback to the original Bad Company storyline. Milligan's writing at times seems overwrought and a little "sixth form" (says the guy who couldn't do better if he had a full brain-transplant) for me, but that was lovely. And done for charity unless I misremember? Illustrated during some sort of con and the art auctioned at the end. Cracking.
Excellent work Peter. Nice lines, keep it up :)

Rogue- looking a bit pensive. Not too happy, but I like the inking.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/Bolt-01/20091005.jpg)
Have I ever said how much I enjoy drawing Tharg?
Aaah! I recognise that cheerful avuncular "Uncle Tharg" from my Zarjaz/Dogbreath deliveries!
Me too!
Cheers for sharing those Dave. I like the inking on that Rogue as well, I immediately thought "Moebius", its the scalloped effect on the shadow lines I think, looks really good with the rest of your style. While I'm at it, the "Whistler" strips in the latest Dogbreaths looked bloody awesome mate.
Cheers for that Kerrin- I've got a soft spot for Whistler. I 'was' going to kill him in the last episode- but he's tricksy!
As for the inking- I had a half mind that it was imitating some of McMahons recent work.
McMahon! Oh yeah. Still definitely Bolt artwork. The top one is a great character study.
Sweet! a thread that understands me!!- I've got notebooks full of this stuff, jotted whilst my minds not on stuff that it should be on- This is from aaaages ago when I had a video shop back in the mid nineties and is the final panel of a very rough story I made up when I should have been doing grown up stuff

Ha ha excellent! And a cheesy line to top it off. Great stuff :)
;D. Like it. Great line.
Bored yesterday and couldn't come up with anything decent for the art compo. So I figured I'd doodle and got the beginning of a Nikolai Dante piece.
(http://i35.tinypic.com/24o5y4g.jpg)
Utterly brilliant. Love the greying at the temples. The facial expression really captures Dante's rogueish charm too.
Love the detail in the hair, lovely badger stripes!
Ta folks.
Here's another from MONTHS back. A swifty doodle of Ro-Jaws.
(http://i38.tinypic.com/2hx4twx.jpg)
Pete Wells gave me a cracking idea for finishing the Dante doodle in a different way than I was intending which may well be seen later this week.
I love Ro-Jaws, big cuddly sewer bot that he is
Great Dante, Mike. Looks like it was coloured using pastels.
Would be good to see more of Rojaws these days. I don't recall what happened to him.
Nice, what program did you use to draw and colour Dante.
filip
I sketched the Dante piece on paper, scanned it, tightened the pencils up, inked and coloured in Illustrator (I know Manga Studio and Photoshop are preferred by many for these tasks but I don't have MS and am finding it slow going getting used to PS, I was using the piece as a learning experience (as I always seem to - always new things to be learnt after all). I'm working it up into a more finished state when I have spare moments and it may appear again in it's final form somewhere soon.
I believe Ro-Jaws was last seen alive and well in ABC WARRIORS: "Hellbringer" but by the squad's next appearance he'd clearly been left behind somewhere - I wrote to the mighty one a few months back to enquire if we'd see him again soon and got a "keep watching the progs, Earthlet" - I rather suspect this means he'll EITHER show up again in ABC Warriors OR we'll see a younger Ro-Jaws in Savage at some point. Or, if we're lucky, both.
Ta for the positive feedback guys.
Thanks Mike, there's a non-expiring demo of Manga Studio Ex 4 with this months ImagineFx no 50.

Sweet. I'll go get it later, I'm always up for new artistic tools as my penmanship without "redos" is squiffy to say the least.
Another 15 minuter doodle that went over budget.

Supersurfer, that's probably my favourite of your pieces. Great!
wow SuperSurfer - that's amazing!
Thanking you for the comments, folks.
Have to say Supersurfer (and I commented on this on one of the voting threads) I really like you're work when its a bit looser like the stuff here. Don't ask me why but I do?
Thanks Colin. Interested to hear that. I often feel as if I'm not putting enough effort in with the looser stuff and that I should take more time to do it 'properly'. I haven't settled down with a technique or style I'm comfortable with (as I keep on saying), but guess one shouldn't force these things. Keep on meaning to start a blog. Also want to find some of my old comic drawings I did as a teenager including some one page comic strips to scan in and show you fellas. They were tight as a gnat's chuff but I don't have that patience nowadays.
I'd love to see you start a blog as I do enjoy you're stuff. Maybe you shouldn't try to force a style on your work as I do think it looks greats as is. Mind watch listening to me as your tighter stuff does get more votes in the competitions so it might just be me spouting nonsense!

Seconded! Well said, that man.
I'm sure you've all seen (and if you've got any sense, actually own) a copy of the latest Zarjaz, with a cover drawn by PJ Holden and coloured by Steven Denton.
Well here's Steven's latest masterpiece, the cover for the next issue of PARAGON.

Certainly have. You'll find paypal links by clicking the covers on the blogspot

Just cast my eye over this thread - SuperSurfer - that is one SUPERCOOL Dredd! I love the tone dots!
Just appeared in my sketchbook. Looks a bit like Stalin. I like him:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/stalin.jpg)
Nice. Somewhere between Stalin and Einstein maybe? That's a dangerous concept...
Or one that could spawn a wonderful story.......
If Stalin had been a cowboy then THAT'S what he'd have looked like
Stalin... the wild west years!
I can see it already!
sorry, i posted by accident and forgot how to delete
Great stuff people! Always a treat from Grimmbro. Soupsurfer please explore that style! Its brimming with possibilities. Just checked out your Mean Angel head.. Its splendiferous!
I can't wait to get my pooter and adobe set up, AGAIN!
Yeah, I have to be really boring and say how much I really enjoy all the stuff you people do.
MGB, that country-singer/communist leader/mad scientist illustration is just oozing character, I love it - one of my favourites on this thread for a good while. Nice execution too.
And Supersurfer, I have to just repeat how much I like your stuff, looser is better for me and the tone-dots were a sweet finishing touch. Lots of folks can draw "a" judge, but that one is unquestionably Dredd.
Cracking work everyone, keep it up.

I could see him as lead singer to the Red Elvises (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Elvises), especially as they appeared in Six-String Samurai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-String_Samurai). Who else could you see doing it in a post-apocalyptic samurai-western?

Heh. Dirty Frank. GENIUS! I love Low Life!
Who'd have thought an obvious "joke" character, named after a song and modelled after a famously grumpy/mental comic book writer would usurp the strip entirely and be one of the best things in Twoth?
Dirty Frank is the best Twoth creation of recent years. I find it impossible to think anyone could dislike the character, even if Low Life might not be, for some mad reason, their "thing".
LONG LIVE DIRTY FRANK.

LONG LIVE DIRTY FRANK.
I hope I'm not giving away any trade secrets when I say that Bolt has given me a Lowlife strip to do for Zarjaz. Mega City One
and Dirty Frank? I thought I'd done well to get a Strontium Dog script, but I genuinely couldn't be happier!
Cheers
Jim
Nice work, Jim! Look forward to it.
Not as much as I am. Jim has done a sterling job on his first strip for us- so I'm hoping he'll really enjoy his time in the Low-life.
No pressure, then!
;-P
Cheers

As I have no truck with this Halloween business and it's by weird coincidence my six hundred and sixty sixth post (spooky), I thought I'd use it on the forces of good.

Where the hell did you get that idea from? We shall, of course, expect nothing less than mentalist excellence Mr.Campbell. Looking forward to seeing that Stront Dog as well.
That angel is awesome SS.
I still maintain that we need a proper forum gallery for finished pieces of art. I mean, for Grud's sake, some of the pieces on this thread are hardly what you could call doodles. I'm not sure what format it would take but there must be more tech savvy folk than me (every other boarder) out there who could come up with something.

Hey, that's a good Alpha, Bolt-01.
Yeah, that Alpha is really nice... yoink!
Supersurfer: Your angel reminds me of Pygar (sp?) from 'Barbarella', very nice!
AH! I'm waiting for the Barbarella pastiches to start in Necrophim!
That "doodle" and the cover that inspired it made me think of the cover to the last issue of Ennis & Dillon's Preacher. If a sharp-shootin' cowboy shows up in Necrophim I think Ennis may be forced to sue!

Thanks Mike, there's a non-expiring demo of Manga Studio Ex 4 with this months ImagineFx no 50.
filip
Tracked this mag down just so's I could have a crack with Manga studio (Heard nowt but good things). For me, it feels more intuitive to draw with a wacom in this than in Illustrator. Admittedly, I'm new to both programs, but this one just feels more natural. The only downside is you can't save your work in this demo.
So if I went out and bought MangaDebut - could I produce decent comics with it? Obviously, I need to apply the talent, but I mean technically speaking, is it realistic? I'm seriously considering purchaisng this for Christmas, and there's no way I can afford Ex 4 at the moment. Advice please fellas?

I've just done five pages for Dogbreath entirely in Debut, with no complaints at all, and you're waaay better at this than I am, so I reckon you'll be fine.
Cheers!

I never could paint properly in the real world, but here is some experimenting on the computer.
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/Dredd-paint2.jpg)
Nice! Love the colours and shine effect you've got going on there. Excellent
Beautiful Supes, really nice painterly effects going on there. This is the kinda thing I want to be turning out, but haven't cracked it yet!
That's come out really well SS. What did you do it with?
Thanks Uncle F, Grimm and Kerrin. Always good to have feedback.
Quote from: Kerrin on 06 November, 2009, 02:40:32 PM
What did you do it with?
All done in Photoshop. Again, started life as a 15 minuter. Inadvertently deleted an in between stage. Wasn't happy with it so thought I would work it up. Then chucked a Photoshop filter at it ("cheat!") and carried on painting over that.
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/Dredd-paint-steps.jpg)
SuperSurfer: I'm in awe Sir!

Manga 4.0 is probably the best (and cheapest) Digital software available so tell Santa you've been good.
Super painting SuperSurfer!
Cheers IAMTHESYSTEM. Bloomin' lovin' your recent quick dredd, if I can manage someting half as stylish when I get me hands on Manga, I'll be happy.
This one went waaaaaay over the 15 minute mark, so i'll stick it here. Inspired by Supersurfer's recent masterful dreddhead:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/roughwacomdrawndreddforweb.jpg)
That's a great Dredd there mygrimmbrother. I like the way you have a distinctive style which still shows even though you've experimented with technique.
(Sorry, ignore this – trying to link to a Photobucket slideshow but can't make it work. Give up. )
Sketched this just before watching Coraline (love the book, hated the movie!):(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/othermother.jpg)
This is the first sketch of a character from my next strip for Dogbreath:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/bennykiangfirstsketch.jpg)
And finally a (roughly) 20 minute Dredd, cos we never get tired of drawing him do we fellas?
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/doodledredd.jpg)
This thread is 'kin ace! (especially Peter Wolf's landscapes. Mesmerising!)
Not got anything new to post (kinda lost the drawing 'spark' i'm afraid), but i don't think i've ever posted these on the board before.
They're a couple of years old now, hope you like 'em :)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v57/woolly/death4sml.jpg)
I tried to do a faux McMahon style Death, kinda failed IMO...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v57/woolly/hellboyfinal2.jpg)
Should really finish this one!
Sorry, should have re-sized that one... :-[
They're feckin' fantastic Woolly. If you're using photobucket you can always resize and replace the original and that way it'll change the size of the one we can see above. Don't think it's a problem though really mate.
Wow Woolly these are awesome! Tons of depth and character to them!
They are both excellent pieces Woolly.
Christ that Hellboy's magnificent! And the Death too (reminds me of Radiator's style too a wee bit - also a plus of course!)
Very impressed Woolly. Would be good to see more of your work.
I get to see the next hints of the next Dogbreath strip (cool grimm) and more impressive stuff from .Woolly and SuperSurfer. Ah tis a fine thread this one. ;D :)
This thread is always fun. Despite loathing the later style of McMahon, I have to applaud his sense of design and drama - both of which you've captures. It's clearly a homage without turning into a dull re-tread. I'm very impressed with that Death.
And the Hellboy? Words fail me. Perfectly captured the sense of the series and character. Very good.
Now over the fifteen minutes, and so moved here, but I managed to colour my Dredd sketch still using my fingers on the iPhone and was actually quite pleased with the result.

impressive work Jim!
Regarding Grimm's dogbreath tease- you may see the pic- but 'I' know what is happening. :)
Smartypants.
Jim - you did that on an iPhone?!? With your fingers?!? Very very nice indeed :)
Thanks to all for the comments on my pics. Been pretty depressed for a while, but reading these comments has given me a warm fuzzy feeling, even makes me want to do some more drawing! (rare thing these days).
So once again, thanks y'all.

Loving that Death pic Bolt! Nice take, whilst retaining the 'evil happyface' :)
This was an excercise in inking and also a study for last month's Flint Art Comp.I obviously gave up and went for something slightly easier in the end, but I've just found this again, and though it was worth posting??
(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_SQ_az9ecdR8/SvrO_8caQaI/AAAAAAAAAGU/TjOm2CP9TcA/s512/Flintesque_small.jpg)

YES!
Absolutely, without doubt, positively...
Don't hesitate to post whatever you like, wherever you like.
It's bloody awesome.
And that Death is aces Bolt.
Aww cheers Kerrin you're too kind :)
- So where's the updated Fatty tank? huh? huh? huh?
That's a very good question...
If I'm off with the lurgy for much longer I'll do some work on it, along with all the other things I started with such enthusiasm. ::)
Sweet jesus festy, thank you for sharing that one!!
Should have entered that one uncle fester. Some great stuff going on in there.
Cool Slaine, Bolt-01.
Nice one with the finger painting, Jim.
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/Dredd-tone.jpg)
Blimey the artwork on this forum just keeps getting better and better. More please! ;D
Fester, that's amazing. I love it.
Yup. This thread seems to be hitting a bit of a peak at the moment. This stuff is just fantastic, folks.
More!
And enter the art comp, you slackers!
Cheers

bah! trying to learn illustrator and been playing with manga debut demo but not having any luck - both keep quitting on me! the only application that won't is good ol' photoshop.
so here's a final colour version of my earlier post based on a photo of one of the Minty fanfilm guys from BICS:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/dreddpin-upfullcolourforforum.jpg)
Is very nice love the colouring.

That's a beaut, mygrim.
MGB, you are a star.
Cheers guys. Here's a doodle from work that went way over 15 mins. No better way to pass a meeting than doodling dredd!
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/15mindredd7.jpg)
Here's this first panel of a sample strip I'm drawing for Bolt.I have penciled it the traditional way,then going digital and using Manga Studio to ink it.
(http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/flipray09/PageFile05.jpg)
filip
Hmm, intwiguing. Better not show us any more or Bolt will greenlight the FQP mutant berserker stoats to toast yo' ass.
Awesome panel, that's really nice.
Flip, that's quite lovely. I'm looking forward to seeing these new pages.
This week I've been doing warm-up sketches for a new strip I'm doing for the Massacre for the Boys lads. Not sure if I can really share yet.
That's it, mygrimm. Get in close.
Would like to see more of that filip. That's a good brooding Alpha you got there.

Nice one TMR.
tmr - that seriously rules!
MyGrimmBrother - I'm thinking you should send that colour Dredd piece to DNA films as a bit of concept art! Supoib!
Thanks for the kind words people, just as well I didn't leave the rest of the pencils on the page the thought of the FQP mutant berserker stoats toasting my ass sends shivers down my spine.

Just doodled a head and neck of Mek-Quake in sketch-up. Awful, really. But hey. I'm very easily amused....

Mike thats the biz-NESS!
Mike, that is SO cool! Little Mekkers! Bless his little tiny head
No idea how you did that Mek-Quake but looks good to me.
Here's one I prepared earlier. Not happy with it, but what the heck. Colours are added onto my last 15-minuter Dredd head post.
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/Dredd-watercolour.jpg)
Anyone tried the Photobucket slideshows? Quite good. I tried including one I did on these pages but can't get it to work.
Supersurfer, i love your colour work. Really. That's so good it hurts! As for how i did the MekQuake - sketch up is a basic 3d modelling program from google, i attempted to build him as a learning exercise and artistic expression with a spot of showing the toymakers how easy to cobble together a killdozer in a short space of time.
a bit of photoshoppery over a photo of myself.

Fabulous! What a pair of pins!
cheers m8 altho Senor Ezquerra did most of the hard work!
Nice inking exercise El Chivo, nudge nudge. I'd love to see slippery Jim De Griz back in the prog, the Harry Harrison books have been a favourite of mine since I was a nipper.
(http://www.futurequake.co.uk/imagebucket/davepersonal/200911AlphaWeb.jpg)
Whilst waiting for databases to compile and spew out the bullshit valuable working data I required. Took about 10 min to pencil and then about 20 mins to ink, with a biro!
Bolt, that's really something.
I know it's heresy, but Mr McNeill's Alpha is a joy. Shame nobody other than him and Ezquerra ever really nailed the character in Twoth.
That's some damn fine biro work, Bolt!
Now, you do realize that you could pay somewhere just north of £2K for a 21" Cintiq to get ... erm ... well, no real benefit at all?
Cheers!
Jim
That's crackerlackin'! (Guess who just saw Madagascar 2)
Biro's are quite nice to draw with I reckon, you get a pleasant feel with them as long as the paper isn't too smooth.
That's lovely Bolt, great pose, nice camera angle - just plain nice.

Very good likeness mygrimmbrother you captured the reserved nature of the '20th century's dark and baroque Prince'- Stephen King.
Thank you kindly gracious sirs. I seem to recall doing a second one, an older HP (much more recognizable) but I'm buggered if I can find it.
If that characterization bumped into Ampney, on his next outing proclaiming to be H.P. There'd be no constant here man.

Kerrin, Yeah I'm going to use watercolours. I'm going to look through the few watercolour books I've got and maybe try out some different techniques on it.
Dog Deever, really like your sketch.
Bolt, like your picture a lot. Wish I could get something that good done in a lunchtime.
Wow, some people have been BUSY since I last checked this thread! Excellent stuff!

This is a label for one of my homebrews. It's actually a Belgian beer kit called Diabolo but I decided to rename it Dredd and use a picture of him I did ages ago in Photoshop.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/albion79uk/Beer/Dredd-jpg.jpg)
Nice one Albi. After seeing that beer in the prog I was hoping there wer gonna be home brew kits with Twoth characters and phrases going on. Scrotnig!
Yes, I may have to do a Scrotnig beer.
I've been brewing for a year now and make my own labels for fun to put on the bottles I give to friends. This is the first 2000AD label I've done and I must do more.
Lots of good names to use, Nemesis, Grobbendonk, Slaine, etc.....
My other labels can be seen here......
http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/albion79uk/Beer/?albumview=slideshow
Wow, Albi, that's a prolific amount of beer you've brewed so far!
I especially love the C-3PO beer and the R2 IPA labels.
Grobbendonk could be a real tasty 'un. :P
Finny was drinking a can of Scrotnig in last week's Sinister Dexter - must have been one of yours!
I'd love a range of 2000ad beers and spirits - Ro-Jaws' Old Peculiar; Creme de Stront; Harry 20 on the rocks....

wahey! i've just found a picture I did about 6 years ago that I thought had long since disappeared in cyberspace. It's on the Al Ewing interview on the 2000ad review site, not hard to find really.
On the downside, there are very shite bits in it: Hitler's flimsy paper jacket and generally rubbish proportions, and the angle of the knife - fucking hell. Still, you live and learn. Glad I found it again anyway.

Been a while since I popped by here.
Wow. Good work everyone.
And Jayz, I totally understand your problems you have with that piece, but I like the spirit. Nice.

And an incomplete Johnny:

Absolutely love that Slaine on a stag type beastie.
I love that one by MIK - the contrast with the tweed suit and overcoat is what makes it - Dear old Uncle Squiddley perhaps?
Great Johnny Alpha, does Wulf make him wear the sussies? :o
Most definitely.
Splendid work, sir. Like longmanshort's art competition entry, it makes me nostalgic for the days when Slaine had atmosphere and depth, and wasn't just throwing bits of frozen piss with chicks inside them about.
Another long-lost drawing surfaces! A better effort than my previous one on the thread, but done around the same time: Dredd and a Hammerstein robot in an ALice in Wonderland stylee, commissioned by someone else on the board for a story set in Cal-Hab. Hardly a doodle, I know, it took me freaking ages.

That's excellent Mr Eight - a nice, fresh style you've got there :)
Indeed Mr Eight - good work!
cheers for ++feedback :D
Thats fantastic JBC, even if they are doing the Siege of Ennis.
Mr Eight, you got something very cool going on there, it's a very nice style you have.
thanks for the positive comments too, guys [spoiler]even if, let's face it, there is no avoiding the Irish dance thing.[/spoiler]
Also, nice work, M.I.K. and Mr Eight. Nice to see the 48k Spectrum typeface again too.
Gavin, your name sounds very familiar. Apologies if I've asked you this before but did you use to work for The Slate magazine or something?
Are you thinking of Gav Beattie?

Really like the simple way of depicting a gunshot there, Mr Eight.

Definitely, not me Mr. Christ. Not sure where, if anywhere, you would of me. You might be mixing up your Gavin's.
You're right, Johnny, it's Gav Beattie I was thinking of. Everyone must check out his Kick the Cat cartoon immediately.
Very good Mr Eight great design. Beautifully detailed Dredd and Hammerstein JayzuzB Christ and it's probably the cold weather that's making Dredd 'jig'.

OK, how lame is this?
I've JUST discovered this thread....I've seen the title a million times, but just assumed it was some bizzare British phrase I'd never heard of. :D
So while I put most of my art up on my blog or DA, I'll be sure to put a few 'sketchy' things here from time to time.
Cheers!
The first two pages are from a strip I drew for Dogbreath 11(6 or 7) years ago. The next two are redrawn versions,that have gotten me a script for FutureQuake from the most exellent dude Bolt01.

I'm putting words in Mr Wagner's mouth. I'm sure he's not got an opinion about me at all, let alone a negative one.
Might have to do something about that.... Mwahahahaha!
No, I'm lying. I'll let someone ask Mr Ezquerra about his reference for Johnny. I'll not do it.

No need, while it'd be great if it was Kevin Keegan (doesn't he have a bit of a winky hooter though?), we all know it was really Jim Morrison (http://pencilmonkeymagic.blogspot.com/2009/10/johnny-alpha-as-jim-morrison.html).
Yeah.
That works.
Shite.
I feel like an idiot.
Thanks Emp, it's not every day you get to feel like a massive plum in public. At least I did it in style.
Not sure if this should be here as its definately NOT a sketch, but i'm rather proud of it and feel i should share it.

Wooly, that is stunning and should be shared. I'd be proper proud of m'self if I produced something as beautiful as that...
...!
That's stunning.

Jebus H Christopher .Woolly, that's fantastic!

QuoteWe still need a proper gallery for boarder's finished pieces
Seconded. Oh, and that is absolutely stunning .Woolly.
.Wooly big props! That is a beautiful piece of art.
Round of applause for Wooly. That's cracking - it's Swamp Thing's missus isn't it?
Christ on a chrome unicycle! That's fantastic Woolly!!!

Seconded.
It should be easy enough to do - set up some kind of group type thingy named "2000 AD forum" or "Tooth boarders" (I like that last one) on Picassa and/or Flickr and then people can join and/or tag their images to add them in (Picassa is handy as it is Google's and if you upload an image to Blogger/Blogspot then it automatically gets collected in your own gallery there). Better than going round collecting other people's images and uploading them to a folder as that comes with plenty of potential for headaches.

Well, it wasn't but that don't mean it couldn't be... ;)
mygrimmbrother that is stunning. I'm surprised this stuff is getting called doodle mind!
Absolutely beautiful Enemy Ace vs Fing Fang Foom (well probably not but in my mind it is)
Wooly that is awesome work. Truly awesome.
grimm--- as usual, magnificent stuff. Why you aren't drawing for the prog already I don't know!
Two mini masterpieces on page 45.
Well those last two pieces are something else, Woolly and Mygrimm. I am most impressed.
Wow, yeah those last two really shouldn't be classed as doodles!
Would it be beyond the realms of possibility just to have a General Art thread where such gems could be posted?
I second that, lovely stuff!
Here's what I did in today's directorate meeting whilst the Director rehashed what was already in the Chief Executive's Bulletin...

I really like the thing whatever it is in the middle of the page.The other sketches are very good and you can draw faces or sketch faces a LOT better than i can .
I am so incompetent at drawing faces that i no longer even bother trying.
Staticgirl - lovely doodling, im particularly jealous of the boldness and precision of your linework. My doodles are just a mess of lines and smudges in comparison.
Gibson Quarter - Is that Promethea? Lovely stuff, with a professional finish. Very, very impressed!
I'm not sure what it is either.
However, I love drawing faces more than anything else in the world so i get lots of practice...

So glad that i am not the envious type.......
I much prefer the uncoloured/inked Stickleback by far though.

This looks a bit different to your usual style and i like it.It looks very spontaneous and has a lot of energy and movement in it.
That's ace. If I could remember what his helmet looked like for 30 seconds I would have a go at that...
These were all done on Chatroulette, after getting bored seeing penises (penii). Great fun actually, I linked camera software to capture a portion of my desktop and did them all in photoshop, with a 'CAN I DRAW YOU?' message.

Wasn't feeling great earlier in the week and decided to doodle another ABCer - this is the line art of my new avatar.
(http://i50.tinypic.com/bgw9y8.jpg)
James man, they're all cool. Beautiful economy of linework.
And that Mek-quake is class Mike, is it done in sketchup?
No, although I DID try that, which looking at it helped to nail the neck MASSIVELY. Looked too clean (oddly something I strove for after abandoning the sketch-up approach).
It was too much trouble using the model as pencils, so I printed it out and attempted it freehand - startiing with very very sketchy pencils. Took too long to get to that version, but I wasn't feeling very well and mostly unable to move so at least it was diverting. Maybe one day I'll get good and/or quicker.
James there's something very David Mazzucchelli circa Born Again about those. I think its the inking/line work? Very very good.
James, what a great idea and it's paid off in spades. Lovely loose lines, full of character and life.

Johnny- those are ace. Seriously.

I like the evil looking black cat at the top right- reminds me of one of my insane, furry scum.
Ooh er- shouldn't one of those dogs be on some sort of list?
no bad dogs- just bad owners
er..apart form the inbred mentallers that is
I read that as 'inbred metallers' there...
Cracking stuff there. Really, I'm in awe. I have to draw more or I'll never be any good.
Inbred metallers? Sounds like a band name in search of a band to me...... Or a description of my neighbours.
awww lovely doggies and kittings!
Love the expressive linework johnnystress particular on the 'shady cat' lurking in the top right corner.
I have to say I like "Shady Cat" too. Humming "The Stray Cat Strut" now.
thanks all
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/johnnystress/my%20pics/InbredMetal.jpg)
Excellent, takes a moment for the penny to drop too!!
Johnny, that's pure class.
I can see that on a t-shirt.
dammit- i had a feeling I'd seen it somewehre before
(http://www.gigposters.com/posters/111509.jpg)
I don't think Mike meant he'd seen it on a t-shirt Johnny, I think it was rather that he'd like to see it on a t-shirt. So would I, it's a class design, reminds me slightly of the double thumbed "Gonzo" fist. Which is a good thing.
I know- a mate of mine just pointed out to me that the design had already been done...by him :) I must've seen it and subconsciously redid it
I think I'm gonna have to make a few lino cuts this week, this here definitely being one of them:

Dinosaurs for everybody!
Dinosaurs are groovy as hell. This thread still keeps delivering.
Robbie drew a Dredd Head yesterday, and didn't do a bad job for a five year old. Shame he scribbled over it today otherwise it would be up here now.

continuing dinosaurs.... A friend is blithering on about dinosaurs on another forum and it got wrapped up in a discussion of stair surfing (you know, on a tray)..

SG, I like that. Very much.
Where's that tray....?
More of my ongoing doodle series of the ABC Warriors. I refuse to attempt to draw ALL of the 14 members over the years, I'm sticking to my favourites. No Happy Shrapnel here (although I do have a pencil sketch to see if I could do it, I can but probably won't). All that's for another time, here's the latest three.

That Blackblood isn't finished but I won't have time for a while so thought I'd post an early version anyway. The others are OK, but Blackblood's the first thing I've done that I'm pleased with.

Making his eye smaller made him look more of a bruiser... good ol' Mean. :) Top doodle!

Like the smoking relections hitting the visor. Makes Dredd look even meaner.
According to my niece today is Nudie Day for Cats (and pigs)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/johnnystress/my%20pics/nudie-day.jpg)
This might go some way to explaining today but not completely. If you could ask your niece for further information that would be greatly appreciated.
About time you gave us another Dredd head, Grimm. Sweet.
Yes, more info please on Nudie Cat and Pig day, Johhny.
I want the naked cats and pigs dancing on a t-shirt.

My nieces took the little dresses off Hello Kitty and Peppa Pig and declared it Nudie Day for cats and pigs...and so it came to be
:)
Pop the title of the day on the t-shirt and I reckon you've got a few sales.
hah:) well my nieces might buy them

Thats some fine work there, Johnny, Ryan and Mark. :D
Latest ABCer - full of glaring mistakes and unfinished but hey. It's mostly ok. Best of all, a learning experience and (I think) recognisable. Here's Deadlock.
(http://i43.tinypic.com/34q72ww.jpg)
That is SO good!
Blimey Mike, I think you've posted this on the wrong thread! Finished art, surely?? Excellent stuff.
And the three above it aren't exactly shabby either, this forum's chocca with talented bods...
Mike - your stuff's coming on loads.
Just stuck this up on my blog but thought it could merit a post here too.

Well carrying on from yesterdays 15 minute(ish) effort and finding a nice 'inking' brush thing on Paint for Windows 7 AND cos its been quietish in work today I've penciled something I'm going to try to ink in Paint of all things... more than 15 minutes, not finished so I guess here will do?

Colin you should draw more!!

Rumour has it, Mr Chilly may have a fairly substantial volume of stuff to show off at Bristol this year, scribed by another board member whose board name rhymes with PooGreenie.
Cheers!
Jim
And lettered by Dim Candle?
my effort at an artblog..ahem

cheers!
Thanks for the link, add it to your profile so everyone can see. Don't make me go an fetch his lordship to come and give his Whoring 101 lecture again.
Is it bad that I got Dim Candle right away but had to visit the blog to work out who PooGreenie is (despite it being obvious with hindsight)?
Nice having some time to experiment with my new bamboo, this took about 20 mins.. DREDD 1900...
(http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq60/markchilcott/dredd1900.jpg) (http://s433.photobucket.com/albums/qq60/markchilcott/?action=view¤t=dredd1900.jpg)
Great idea, and stylistically right up my (gaslit) alley. Nice one Chilly (and a great Stickleback too BTW)
It is a clever idea - Dredd is sometimes a piss take of American Empire and in this case an element of the British one. Shoes the similarities plus it looks cool!
Thanks everyone!!
After working to a script for the last year, it's nice just to doodle.
Last one for the day, off to work now.

You over estimate me alas. I was going for the more direct Uncle Sam - your country needs you image but didn't get the head tilt right and didn't emphasize the tilt forward enough to make that clear... sooo I'm going to go with your idea - I'm bloody smart me!
Mr. Chilly those are all bloody awesome
Thanks very much to everybody who's said nice things about the weird shit I've been posting, sometimes a boy just needs an ego boost ;)
Right this is the last lino cut for at least a few days I promise, printed about half an hour ago:

Well if you insist, but I'll warn you - haggis are expensive pets, they bite your face off when there's no more of your whisky to be had
Can we put Paris Hilton down for one?
They have to have little elevators put on one side of their legs when they are walking on flat ground as they are so superbly suited for the Scottish Mountains.
Lovin' the haggis.
I'm really digging the fact that his nose looks like the golden arches. McDonalds hagggis! :D
I must have done this over 20 years ago.
I'm not sure what that Judge helmet is all about at the bottom but I like it.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/albion79uk/Art/Untitled-1-small.jpg)
Another ancient piece from when i used to draw a lot many years ago....
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/albion79uk/Art/Untitled-2-small.jpg)
Spiffy stuff albion83uk! Hope you're still drawing.
Deadly- a page from my sketchbook 20 years ago would probably look uncannily like that 1st one- Eddie the head, skulls,Dredd..all there:)
I hope you're still drawing too! I loved looking at all the different elements in there...
On the theme of old sketchbooks, this was done about 15 years ago, just scanned them in and stitched them together...1st time I've seen this on a screen myself.
And no, I don't know what I was thinking either.
(http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq60/markchilcott/oldsketch.jpg)
Oh my god. Looks like some sort of hideous simpsons episode...in a good way. (is that possible?) :o
The hippy carrying the cross and Death with his sign 'SOON?' are just classic.
Another 1900 Dredd.
(http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq60/markchilcott/dredd1900a.jpg)
That's bloody fantastic Mark.
Steampunk Dredd? Could be a new story Arc one of those alternative history malarkies. Your 1900 Dredd looks suitably tough for the mean streets of London and the splats of ink lend a foggy background. Great idea.
I keep thinking of the films Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Gaslight when I see this. Very evocative of a bygone age and the uniform is very convincing in it's cut and detail as well.
there's a maniac loose in London...the press call him Jack.
(http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq60/markchilcott/death1900.jpg)
Judge Death as Jack the Ripper is a brilliant idea. He looks the part too, love the flames of hades effect.
Waistcoat and jacket plus the bowler give him the authentic Victorian style and the scratchy pen and cross hatching adds the right texture.
Loving the Victorian Dredd stuff Chilly, keep em coming!
Here's a quick rough of an idea I'm working on for the current art comp:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/russkiezombierough.jpg)
Mark, those are ace. Dickson of Drokk Green?
Mygrimm – fantastic. Looking forward to seeing the final piece.
Except it has been done! - "Dredd of Drokk Green" was in a special from '96...
This one's come out a bit better:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/redarmyzombiecolourtest1web.jpg)
That's very nice! Striking use of colour as well. I likes it, I does!
Blimey I avert my eyes for a second and a portfolio of fantastic art which hardly seems doodle-ssque in its gorgeousness lands on the thread!

This was my sketch for the Warren Ellis cover re-model for Young Romance comic which I wasn't able to work up in time. Oh well. Amongst many things, the maggots needed more work.

this took about 50 mins, got a bit carried away with the pen.

'D EDD' I get it. Good one.
Hey, you're going to leave us some zombies to draw for the comp, aren't you?
Its all part of the fun
of decomposing!
Great work fellas.
Another ancient picture done well over 20 years ago.
I have crudely stitched this together in Photoshop as it measures 100x32cm and was drawn on the back of some old dot matrix printer paper.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/albion79uk/Art/dredd_large02.jpg)
A worthy montage of Judge Dredd and Co albion83uk.
As for Markchilly Tharg and Dredd as zombies is priceless!
okay I'm going to look like a right spanner for asking this, but seeing as it looks like there's zombies involved and I can't figure it out at all...
can somebody tell me where this competition you're all on about is hiding?
A pencil sketch from last week. Lots of problems with it and ultimately unfinished (due to the problems) but if I can't pop up an unfinished pencil sketch HERE, where CAN I. Eh? Run out of smart answers, haven't you?
Right.

I had it for about three weeks "mild" my eye. Were it not that I had to take care of my mum (who ALSO had it on top of the cancer - so she clearly outranked me there) I'd have been unable to take care of myself. As it was I had to crawl to the kitchen and make meals while seated, propping my head up.
It's a bloody swine. Get well soon, eh?
Nice pic by the way.
A lot of seriously good pieces of work folks. It took over an hour to get through the thread, now I'm motivated to go find some crayon and paper.......
Good man! Don't forget about the art comp, now. :-)

Could the two birds over there mean anything??
It's cod psychology time. Dr System is on more Lucazade and diazapan than's good for him but here goes.
The house represents the coming general election. Yet you staticgirl, the prospective voter feel cut off from the proceedings hence the closed gate. The birds represent your wishfulfillment to fly away from this dark picture but -No you can't escape! Or vote either.
Oh the humanity! :D :geek:
Interesting doodle looks like a wood cut or an engraving. Very dark though I keep thinking of HP Lovecraft the tenctacular curve on the tree trunks by the left side of house [from our p.o.v] really seem to give it a grasping hand look. Creepy looking house. Closed off dark sky too. The Icelandic volcano effect maybe?
Spooky.
Interesting. Someone else I showed it to focused on the birds too. He thought it was my happiness.
It was actually a nightmare of being thrown out of my home which ended up rather nicely being offered somewhere like this to be caretaker/restorer of by the council(!)
Inside it was empty of furniture, the windows were broken and there was dust and cobwebs everywhere. There was also some rubbish and a beautiful wrought iron staircase that lead to a tiny bedroom in a similar state. I ended up being really happy in the dream because I could restore the place and have somewhere really old and lovely to live in. But it was quite a creepy place....

Speaking of dark things here's a pre digital inking of a Lunar Wolf SpaceMarine ala Warhammer 40,000. Very gory. Forgot I put it on my photobucket account yonks ago. I intended to re-draw it embellishing it a lot more but I don't think I'll find the time now.
Might need a little editing with the old crop tool but you can see it in all it's unvarnished glory.
The very first thing that sprang into my mind after seeing that was that it reminds me a lot of Leigh Gallagher and for a second or two i thought it was a Leigh Gallagher piece.

Ooooooo could you imagine Leigh Gallagher doing a Chaos-based story? All mad designs and frighteningly intricate detail. Preferably written by Pat Mills.
Some great stuff on here since I last looked in. But bloody hell, that Warhammer piece is fantastic, System...

I think the composition I've been forced to use loses its potential, I'm happy to admit.
Well defined stuff there Peter. Hope you've already got onto the the next one.
Stunning work, Peter. It would be more at home though in the 'Does my Art look big in this' thread. How big is it? Looks as if the photo isn't doing it justice.
^^ Indeed Peter, what SuperSurfer said ^^
Any chance you can get it scanned? I'd love to see this scanned as it looks like you've put a hell of a lot of effort into it.
Peter - that's f**kin' awesome!
Thanks for yourfeedback.It was a lot of effort but i made a complete hash of the radiating area at the top of the picture as i was using shitty brushes and i was using the wrong method of creating that effect which is why that section of the picture didnt come out as expected but i thought it was worthy of posting it but quite honestly i have very little interest in it because i am dissatisfied with it.
I actually scrapped it on the lower right hand corner is unfinished although it looks like it is.I might probably restart the whole thing.
Its inbetween A4 and A3 in size so i will have to scan it a the library.I will see what i can do...........
I bring you SKETCHY FROG

Peter it's ace. I'd never have spotted the error! :)
Sketchy Frog is very very cute!Most of my sketches have been a bit rubbish recently but I did do some cute little dragons.

Heavens Kerrin that's a good 'un! :thumbsup:
Love it Kerrin it's got a Manga tech/Akira feel to it that's Arsom! :)
Loving the sleek aesthetics there Kerrin. Fantastic sketch Bolt. And very cute dragon and frog sketches.

Need to thicken up the lines round the head, or thin out the ones round the body, or something. Just a little self portrait in photoshop elements, which is a crap program really.
Shamelessly copied the pose from some Superman pic I found via google.
Dante doodles:

I absolutely love your style Radiator. How about colouring it for us.

Love the portraits by kerrin and nev. :)
Grand page there Radiator- that's a doodle? ! :o :o
Wow!
I agree with vzzbux, it'd look lovely coloured.
Cheers Zarjazzer.
Just a doodle I did and then decided to shade it too, another self portrait.

Interesting self-portraits there nev, like the way you've exaggerated the proportions.
Hey Radiator, they're fantastic. Looks like they were done in a small sketchbook - could you tell us what size it is? I have trouble drawing small and need to learn how to do it!
Love those Dante "doodles" Radiator.

Its an A4 sketchbook.
Can I ask what you used for inking and adding your tone?
Radiator man, those are beautiful I don't know what to do about how much I love that. I want to print it out and eat it. Here's some sketchures - sketches from lectures. Although I've mostly been planning the second part of Crabcake and doing...uhm - a dissertation.

QuoteCan I ask what you used for inking and adding your tone?
(http://www.jimnettes.co.za/images/PROMARKER.JPG)
Promarkers are a cruel mistress. My clumsy hands just cause unnecessary bleeding and mess. It's great to see people really able to use them though, so keep us posted with more of it!
Loving the chap on the top right CFM.
Sorry I should clarify - I use Sakura Pigma Mivcrons for inking, Pro-Markers for shading.
If you have trouble using the Pro Markers, try photocopying you linework - the Pro Markers will glide over the photocopied image with a minimum of bleeding and leave you with a lovely even colour.
Just copied onto standard paper?

I recommend as another learner for you to choose an artist within the prog that you like and a strip that they drew and who has a style you feel comfortable with and then choose the smaller panels within the strip to copy yourself [pencil then ink] as its a really good way to learn to draw something smaller within a confined space.
I usually work to the original dimensions of the artwork before it was reduced in size and printed to fit the finished page but there is no harm in going smaller if you feel like it.
I find it also teaches you to scale things correctly to fit within the panel as you have immediate reference right in front of you .
I find this works for me and the more you do it the easier it gets.
QuoteJust copied onto standard paper?
Yep.
This method also has the advantage that the photocopied black lines won't bleed or smudge either. You can also do highlights with white pencil or white ink/gel pen. It's a nice, quick way of doing colour or tone stuff.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/chilipenguin/Dredd1sml.jpg)
You can draw. I like the way you draw Dredd. I like the media you've chosen - gives it a particular mood.
Cheers. I'm reasonably happy with it but there are some things wrong with it too. The helmet is squint, and I can't shade worth a damn but those are the things I shall be working on. Unemployment gives you plenty of time to practice anyway :D
I quite like it too. Makes me want to break out the pencils at the weekend. ;)

A sketch of Harley. First female figure that I've been happy with. I'll post a coloured version in a bit.
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/chilipenguin/harley1sml.jpg)
Coloured version of Harley. My inking really ruined this I think. I only used a sharpie but thought I would have achieved something better. Ah well.

On Wednesday evening I attended the 'Dynamic and gestural figure drawing' meetup which took place in the (superb) Ronald Searle exhibition at the Cartoon Museum, London. Basically, a life drawing session where the model posed in various positions including action and sequential ones. Started off with quick one minute drawings – I don't think any were longer than 5 minutes.
Bought a sketchbook at the very last minute as I hadn't done this sort of thing for about 20 years (shame on me). I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very intense but really good for making one not too precious about drawing. In one and a half hours I did 27 sketches.
After the session we went to the pub. Met an interesting, varied group of people such as one chap who worked on Warrior comic as a junior (I had to shake his hand for that). Dez Skinn was his first ever boss. Also met amongst others a Finnish comic artist.
If anyone is around, I recommend these sessions. And if you get can get to it, the Ronald Searle exhibition is excellent.

Those dinos are amazing Colin - !
Awesome dinos. If in doubt, throw some dinosaurs at it. The perfect way to improve any script.
Cracking sketches Johnny and Colin. I really do like that sketching style you've got Johnny, the cowboy piece is brilliantly solid in it's stance.
Yeh, that horse one is awesome. Horses are very difficult to draw. Those dinos are win, too. The second one...I thought it said Edna on it. Edna the T-rex...now theres an idea!
Great doodlin', Johnnystress. And cool dinos, Colin.

That's just great. Particularly impressed with the flames on Fire there's a real movement and energy to them.
Fire looks pretty animated I agree, and Fear looks deep in thought scheming away, very nice work :)
Neat! Fire can't be the easiest character to draw. What is Fear perusing, if I may ask?
That'd be a crumpled top hat, SuperSurfer. It's all to do with a twisted tale I'm working on, siphoned from some other deranged mind on this board. And yes Fire was a bit of a 'challenge'.
Cheers for the kind comments, guys! :)

Thanks for the feedback those who gave it.
"Cam Kennedyish" isnt something that sprang to mind at the time but i can see why you thought that.Its not a totally original piece as it was my attempt at copying a panel in the prog.I do this all the time to improve my brushwork so it becomes more fluid plus there was no pencilling involved in this piece but usually i pencil and then ink.also i have never set out to have my own style either.Plus i have absolutely no interest in producing colored work or using software as i like doing it the old fashioned way.

Thats a lovely Dredd, Fester. Moody and provocative, dont know why you binned it to be honest!
Strangely, i was visiting this thread to do exactly the same thing!
Heres my aborted Dredd poster effort...

These two pics make me think "what might have been...", if you had had the time and inclination to finish them. Very nice work.
Wow Woolly that is superb. There's nowt wrong with the eagle, now slap a few bits of text on it and get it entered, it'd get my vote anyway!

Found another box of forgotten stuff in my parent's loft. As well as old school and student newspapers, loads of French marvel comics and files full of Dungeons & Dragons stuff, here are a couple of things copied from the prog.

It's okay, but the top half of Dredd's body is out of alignment with the legs around the guys let. (He is sitting on his shoulders right?)

I've been looking through some sketch books from 1988 - 1990 when I used to doodle quite a bit so I'll bore you over the next few days with some pieces from the past.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/albion79uk/Art/AlienAristocracy.jpg)
This is essentially a doodle as I was testing out my abilities in the digital pallette of the Illustrator CS. My Dah quite likes it. I'm quite happy with it too.
I've tried sweating a Manga page thru to Paint Shop Pr 9 thru to Illus CS but to no avail, as it just opens as 4 tones of black to white in Illustrator. What's going off with that???

Lovely bit of digital inking, that
Great inking indeed. I'm struggling big time to ink digitally. Just can't seem to get results comparable to a brush. :(
Very nice, flip. Mind if I throw in a bit of constructive criticism?
When doing linework like that, try to imagine where the lighter and darker edges would be; i.e. where the local light source is coming from and where it strikes your subject. Make the shadowy lines heavier (e.g. the base of the badge, eagle and so on) and the light-struck lines lighter (e.g the top of the helmet).
That said, it's a Photoshop-inking job more than I've ever done, so keep up the good work
BAM

Quotewish I could draw.
You probably can, you know. Try and pick up a book called 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain'. I forget the author's name but don't let the amateur-psychology-esque title put you off - it's the only effective practical guide to drawing I've ever seen, and it has made artists of many people who 'wish they could draw'. (The author's not paying me, by the way. I used to teach my own art classes using her methods, and I saw people improve incredibly fast.)
Now, whether you can draw
comics is a different story. I most certainly can't. That takes a whole new set of skills, which I don't enjoy learning and find incredibly difficult.
And if that archer in your avatar is your work, you definitely can draw.

The local independent bookshop runs courses based on the book you are talking about plus it sells the book as well and the courses are advertised and named after the title of the book and are directly affiliated with it.
I am pretty confidant about my drawing skillz (most days at least) but picked up that book on a whim a couple of month's back and turns out old dog's can learn new tricks. The idea of turning a picture upside down when you are working from it for reference was a revelation. Seemingly this switches the brain straight in R-mode and focuses you on the relation between negative spaces and all that malarkey so you are drawing what you see rather than what you think you see. I'm not so articulate and unable to condense the book's entire philosophy into one sentence, but I can confirm it worked vetry well and my picca had a slightly less cacky background than usual. I mean I don't use this tip all the time, but when things get tricky it can be very useful at getting back on track.
Anyway, in the spirit of this thread, here's a rather old doodle of me and a friend (you can make your own surmissals who is what)...
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs51/i/2009/339/2/8/Potential_Leech_by_GhostPockets.jpg)
Also Dredd....
(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/263/4/e/another_slice_of_dredd_by_ghostpockets-d2z61xe.jpg)
Who in this picca has macrocephaly as well as the usual mandibular prognathism, which is a roundabout way of saying I just draw people with BIG HEADS.
Late McMahon is a good way - would look great with some eye-bleedingly bright colours. :)
I will be doing a proper Dredd soon(ish) and shall surely be wrought in the highlighter chic style.

Drew this in a jazz cafe whilst watching jazz people do jazz things. A lady turned to me and looking at the drawing she said - "This is how Toulouse-Lautrec started"
and I lifted my head and bellowed
"YEAH BUT HE HAD ABSINTHE AND I HAVE CIDER. I LOVE CIDER!"
Great stuff guys. Love those doodle pages, CFM. :D
Those are very musical CrazyFox, very nice composition there (hehe). Especially digging the guy on the bottom one with the saxaphone/hook/cityscape for a head. Well, I don't really know what it is but I know I like it. I'd love to see you do a whole comic in this flowing style.
That's crazy awesome, Crazyfox
Reminds me of Simon Fraser's work. Uber doodling CrazyFox.

Loving the doodles Ghostpockets.
Dancornwell he looks a little like Marshal Law to me. :)
Dancornwell, are you aware that you just blistered my face with brilliance?
Ghostpockets, are you aware that YOU NEED TO MAKE A CARTOON SERIES. IT WOULD BE THE CAT'S WHISKERS.
sorry bout that. got some cream for them blisters :D
Lovely sketchbook work, Ghost.
Thank ye one and all.
Owen, hopefully a Otter-based comic project will tide you over til I can make GhostPockets: the Animated Series a possibility.

I'm now hoping this is a "Doctor Otter" story for the Doctor WTF? anthology!!
Haha that would be otter nonsense (groan). I have no idea what I will be doing for WTF yet, the Big O hasn't paired anyone up yet.
'Working' as a car-park attendant (i.e. sitting in a wee booth full of monitors), I have to amuse myself to fill the days.

brilliant stuff on here since I last looked
Class stuff fellas. There are several awesome stickers lurking in those doodles Ghostpockets, love 'em.

Just found these old doodles from my days as a call centre phone pleb:

Some sort of unpleasant fly demon thing. Not sure where that came from.

Sub-Kirby cosmic vista. Note the Tipp-ex stars and highlighter colouring. Locally sourced art supplies care of the stationery cupboard!

Ex-BT customers would ring me all day, every day, complaining that their old BT email address was no longer working. As a phone peasant for a totally different ISP, this got old quite quickly.

Hopefully I can finish it off soon.

Why fank you, sah.
I've been commissioned quite a few caricatures over the years, but always had to do them slowly and methodically. Here's my first attempts at speeding up, done in the pub today in place of my Sunday afternoon crossword. So here's Johnny Depp, Christina Aguilera, Brad Pitt (who has to lose an eye to avoid looking like Marty Feldman) and Hector O Heochagain (not famous outside Ireland, but maybe some fellow spud-munchers might recognise him).
Still have a long way to go in terms of quality of line, tone, fuckin' noses and mouths. And can anyone suggest a way of not letting all your caricatures end up boss-eyed?
EDIT: They're a bit bigger than i expected, sorry! They're about a third of the size in reality

They're all decent. I have difficulty getting eyes to look right (they tend to look flat somehow), I usually find lesser is better for comic eyes. The detailed eyes you've depicted here look good though.
Thanks, Mardroid. I just bought myself a decent marker so i'll be working on making the lines more fluid.

Don't get me wrong! Maybe I phrased that wrong. I was just saying that I thought the eyes in your drawings were particularly good and that that's a particular feature I have difficulty with. (I.e. it wasn't a criticism of your drawings at all.)
Woah! Massive thread update since i last looked! Awesome-o!
Jayzus - those charicatures are sweet as a nut :)
Is the last one Rod Hull? ;)
Quote from: Woolly on 18 October, 2010, 06:09:24 PMIs the last one Rod Hull? ;)
Narf!
Those are class Jayzus. The Brad Pitt one is spot on, (apart from the wonky eye of course). I'm always impressed by people who can do caricatures, drawing a recognisable representation of a real person isn't at all easy. Love to see some more.
Thanks for the kind words, all.
And don't worry, Mardroid; I took your comment as it was intended - my comment about the marker was just a bit of additional information, nothing to do with your post.
(that said, even if it had been constructive criticism, I wouldn't have minded.)
I'll try and post a few more as soon as I get the hang of drawing with the marker.
Rod Hull! :lol:
It's this dude, generally known only as Hector, the man who somehow single- handedly made Irish language TV worth watching. Is Tommy Tiernan the stand-up well-known in Britain? (If not, he was the depressed priest in Father Ted who cheers up while listening to Shaft.) Hector here's his best mate, anyway. Actually, he may well look like Rod Hull in a few years (though not Rod hull as he is now, hopefully.)

I have to admit, Emu's replacement looks a bit of an odd choice...

Heh. Rod and Emu, the foetal days.
:lol:
Have ye ever heard The Tommy and Hector Radio Show? Some great stuff. They were doing this phone-in bit where they were asking people about the best day of their lives. This Cork cultchie rang up, his accent was practically indecipherable. He claimed the best day of his life was the day he took his son to the dump.
I'm going to see Tommy Tiernan in Manchester on Saturday. Synchronicity in action or what? :)
QuoteHave ye ever heard The Tommy and Hector Radio Show? Some great stuff.
Never actually got round to listening, though I've heard good things. They come from Navan, just down the road from where i'm from, so the accent for me is funny in itself.
Hector was a part of Tommy's stand-up act long before anyone knew who he was - 'Hectaw! Ahhre yeh comin' down the shoppin' centaw? For the shnee-aw?'
Did this at work. I didn't add the intakes and rear spoiler to this 1.4 litre front-wheel drive fiesta, some spide stuck them on before I drew it

Those are doodles? :o
Really good particularly the Eskimos and Mammoth which is excellent.
My only gripe would be the Celtic looking sword lady seems to have a leopard skin bandana which puts her in the 1980's! Still it is a rough sketch so if Leopard skinned Bandanas are your thing then slap it on that forehead.
She looks great with very well drawn face and lovely get ready for action pose.
Doesn't come out well in the photo does it. :D :D Leopard skin bandanas were all the rage in that woman's world. She started Celtic then became Roman then kind of changed again.
Here's some stuff I did:

My first ever attempt to use a graphics tablet. God it's tricky.
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/chilipenguin/dredd.jpg)
That's very good for yr first try!! I drew a chicken on my first go after 6months of colouring only, to get used to the way it felt.
While arsing about with my new tablet, I doodled something that turned into this. Purely to piss my mate Richard off.
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/chilipenguin/richardthesperm.jpg)
Snarf! Richard is a cool jizz.
Here's a 10-minute Jolie to go with my previous Pitt.
Getting to grips with the marker now (you haven't seen the hundred or so previous marker jobs I did, they were muck).
Kind of managed to get the wonky eye thing sorted (solution - mirror every stroke I do for each eye so it's not half as difficult).
Still find mouths a beeatch, but fortunately the quare one here already has a cartoon mouth.
(http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r153/brnwlsh/Picture.jpg?t=1288296970)
Wow, you've made Ms Jolie semi attractive, rather than the cartoon character she is in real life. Good job!
Seeing how much my last doodle annoyed my mate, I've done another:

:D
QuoteWow, you've made Ms Jolie semi attractive, rather than the cartoon character she is in real life.
I hear you - it was the whole John Voight face thing that put me off my stroke soon after she posed for my caricature. She was livid, but what could I do?

Loving that Frankstein's monster
Very cool! The original and best Frankenstein monster look. My old tutor in art college designed a lot of the Bobby de Niro / Kenny Branagh version - it was a fine job but Frankie will always be the square-head bolts-through-the neck version for me.
Best? Yes. Original? No.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcLxsOJK9bs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcLxsOJK9bs)
A Work In Progress - I'd thought originally to use this as a base to build a big widescreen wallpaper to give away on my website. It was going to be a battlefield after the battle with this beastie gathering up the severed heids in a wee bag.
Kinda ran out of gas because work was so busy at the time, so... what you fink? Worth finishing? I like bits of it, dunno though - it feels a little daunting, but I'd also like to see her finished.

I stand corrected! That's a fine monster too - seems to have been made by pouring skin-and-guts flakes onto a skeleton. the old-fashioned sinister stalking walk is always good. Also like 'A liberal adaptation' in the opening credits - if only Hollywood could be so honest these days.
Top work, by the way, Neil.
Here's a 10 minute doodle of my 2yr dog...Bruce.
(http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq60/markchilcott/brooce-sketch.gif)
Very spontaneous looking lines. Really good doodle.
He is a very distinguished looking dog. :)
I painted a dog like that once. And was quite impressed when it could be compared to Simon Davis bold canvas work by me, my worst critic.
The dog was at the centre of a domestic. Your dog could do with a ball, mr chilly, at its left knee giving a little angular distance, a percentage of the ball off the page?
Hot doggy doodle! Great sketch Mark.
And I think you should definitely carry on with that piece Neil.
Thanks chaps, likey will slap a bit more paint on old baldy. Aso working on a larger 2000AD themed peice, a couple of snapshots below, gonna paint it up I think.

I have no idea how you do it but i love the cross hatching effect on your pics.Its a really interesting effect.Its also good to see someone else working in BW instead of color.
Good work but JD has a look of a Sov-Block judge.
If you use software to get the effects you do then dont even bother explaining it to me as i dont use any software at all and i wont have a clue what you are talking about as i know nothing about it.

I think we'll be lucky if it looks this faithful - but yes, very smart looking thing there Danbo
cheers :)
Apart from the huge microphone (you could do something smaller even today, let alone the future. I'm sure an internal helmet mic, would be believable in a 'more realistic' setting. Or a glove mic like Anderson uses) I'd find that acceptable.
I'd prefer the helmet a bit more like the comics, but I think your take would certainly work.

NeilFord- thoes sketches are dripping with awesomeness.
Here's some drawing practice from today. The top three figures are copied from the Savage Sword of Conan John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala. I really like how they render stuff. The first face I kind of modernised. the other face was just freehand tonight half asleep proportions are all wrong. Oh well it was fun.

Mardroid: absolutely not! like any seasoned doodler, it's just what my pencil wanted to draw while the telly was on. Absolutely no thought goes into any of it! :)

A couple of sketches that I'll probably ink and colour in Photoshop later.

Very neat!
I found these at my parents over the weekend and thought I'd share them with you guys. All done on A3 which has been a bit of a bastard to scan. As you will see I never got round to finishing them. I must have stared these aroung 15 years ago.
From one of the Dredd novels by David Bishop. I think it was called 'Soon' My first attemp using a brush. It's showing its age, you may notice a Cantona 7 shirt in the pile of bodies. Fecking hated him at the time.

I use the name as an old work mate used to call me it. It was something to do with my hair at the time reminding him of the Monty Python hedgehog, Spiny Norman.
I was thinking of changing my name here to Dinsdale at one point. I rather like it.

Wow Simon Harrison lives!
This tough, scratchy style has got to be a winner and your Johnny Alpha pics are particularly good Krombasher.
Theres a haunting beauty to your work, Krombasher.
Structure from chaos, its quite striking! :)
I am doing this straight to story kind of sketching here, speed of creating the lines and clarifying an idea. Alongside warming to the EX3 from Manga. I was seeing there was no way to follow Woolly's amazing disciplines, so I just reeled these off today. Idle doodles at best, I greatly appreciate your stoical comments.

Narp - just random doodling. No canon villains in WTF. Apart from Davros.
...and some Daleks.
Nice CFM really neat Ice Warrior love the colours very complimentary.
I had this weird dream last night that I had drawn a picture of Slaine killing a werewolf by stabbing him in the back.
And right now, sketching it out on a scrap piece of paper provides me with a perfect delaying tactic to going to bed.
It was really detailed with heavy black areas. I remember clearly the pose of the Werewolf but not too much about Slaine other than the fact that he was quite similar to a drawing I did of him with a rapidograph when I was in the sixth form. I am really not doing the 'original' from my dream justice here.
There was also a drawing of a horse in the top left corner I was struggling with, but that's dreams for you.
Hope I have more 2000AD dreams. Goodnight.

As those who check my blog may know, I have recently come by a load of my old art, and found this among the heap. I have no idea why I drew this. It is among a few art comp entries, but I don't remember it being for the forum, and don't really do this sort of stuff for any other reason. Mystery lost in time, I guess.

Randomly doodling a face when I realised I had accidentally drawn a piece of fanart of the real star of 2000ad, Chief Judge McGruder. There's some other chump behind her.
That's ace!
Class.
And what's more, the highlighting on Dredd's helmet is in this season's must have colour. Honeysuckle. Divine!
Yep it certainly is. Loving Ghostpockets' neo-McMahon style.

Pretty drunk doodle from last night after the pub. I've been idly daydreaming about various Dreddverse stuff on and off for ages and a Lawgiver MkIII popped onto the back of a comic flyer last night. Quite surprised at how coherent it is considering I'd had a few, maybe that's the trick...

Do you colour dodge off a layer fill then Woolly?
Do most of my colouring on a difference layer, which leaves all the linework intact.
Then do highlights on a normal layer.
Helps me to keep the 'sketchy' look that i like :)
Woolly, that is bloody fantastic. It's got real depth and I love his expression.
That's really nice, Woolly. Will you be posting up the final version round here?
Nice work CFM - keep it up :)
I like the MKIII version Kerrin! It would go nicely in a fatty tank strip...

Ooh I'll have to try that, Wooly. Don't think of it as stealing, merely you teaching the unwashed.

Fantastic doodles though, absolutely wonderful.

That is, like, so hyper-enthusiastic.
Love that Toshiro MGB, though it was Jikan at first, he's who i use as a model for my version, guess i'm in good company for picture referencing!

That's a top notch Toshiro, Grimm!

Been a while since I popped by, and the sketches are looking strong as ever!
Here's my 2 cents

Cool pencils guys. Some scribbly C.H.U.D pencils-
(http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k598/DeadRez/chudpencil.jpg)
Nice one JudgeFett & GQ, great pics. Here are some quick sketches of various (mostly) Victorian folk. 10 mins apiece (if I hadn't finished them by then I left them as they were and moved on). These were done to a) help keep my draiwng nice and loose, and b) to help me with drawing smaller than I usually do, so that hopefully my comic strip skills will improve too.

That is one Hell of a Slaine although I might be prepared to call you a cheater as that seems a little too good to count as a sketch, let alone a doodle ;)

And what a bloomin' great way to kick it back into life. That's bloody wonderful!
Thanks very much fellas :) I'm warming up for a bigger pic - will keep you posted.
IMO that's exactly what's been missing from Sláine's visage...
MGB for the new Sláine artist! That's what I say. Bung some colour on it and fling it at Tharg!
^What he said!^
Super Slaine MGB.
Good call, get Matt drawing Slaine!
Oh yes! Love that Slaine! Great expression!

My latest Doctor Who pic (carrying on a theme from last weeks TAB subject). These only take about 2o mins so belong on the doodle thread, I reckon.
You can see the others on me blog
They say abstraction is the secret to Art and that Tom Baker is fantastic. Love the Jon Pertwee too.
That's really cool Davey. If you just let your eye focus on the white parts of the image it looks like a big nosed fella sitting down with a spikey boner. Seriously!
Dear God, that's all I can see now
SORRYYY! It just jumped out at me as I was looking, because my laptop screen is VERY small and I can't fit the whole image in, so I see the bottom part in isolation! What do you call those images, where you can see different things depending on what you focus on?
Anyway, its bloody good work, whichever way you look at it!

I'm thinking the second guy is Slaine's pa Roth Bellyshaker, although I can't remember what he actually looked like in the comic.
Looking good MGB, Ive got an image in my head of Slaines pa having dark curly hair? I like your version there.

Brilliant as always, Neil.
And I really like the Hellboy too, grimmbrother. Especially with ink and colour. Very cool.
Nice doodles Neil. Where'd you buy the pencil?
Awesome Hellboy there Mygrimmbrother
Thanks for the Hellboy appreciation fellas. Here's a character rough for a new strip that's in the works: I give you the eminent Dr Ernest Baumgarten:

Yeah, well, that's what it turned into.

Maybe a Cursed Earth amalgamam with echos of Tuscan Raider?
Call Zarjaz that man :)
Hot dang! There is another artwork thread! ;) Nice stuff!
Hey Neil have you studied a Bridgeman book? Your pencils remind me of his anatomy work. Well cool.

Thats etchasketch-tastic - love the level of detail implied in that
All I have are goblins, and only two at that
(http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n68/DobeyKweeg/goblins.jpg)
But what a pair. [oh er missus!]
Beautiful concept work Leigh S.
Awesome goblins there. Good expression on their goblin faces!
I had a go at some colouring practice in preperation for a strip i'm working on. Started on a basic line drawing traced from a picture of that dragon chick from Game of Thrones.
I don't know what i'm doing and accidently saved it when it was flattened so that stupid glow effect is there for good. Crap!
(http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee443/danielbell2/colourpractice1.jpg)
Looks very dramatic. Love the lighting very Mike Mignola!
Leigh, I love that. I love it I love it don't go changin'
Here's Jon Lord who I doodled this afternoon because he's just announced he's battling cancer.
(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/222/b/a/lord_by_crazyfoxmachine-d463gnv.jpg)
Good stuff - like that colouring. I know the pain of failing to save, saving in haste or plain forgetting how I did something I actually liked!
Thats really sad news about Jon Lord - been having a bit of a purple patch last week without knowing why - Bought a great set of live performances from the pound shop!

Some nice touches in this but still only a doodle. Lines need cleaning up and the whole of the colouring is doodling around with ideas. The concept is good and the composition was drafted straight onto page and I ran with it for time allowance.
dammit that's a fez not a hat!
cool mad monkey though.
It's not mad DDD. It's just a zombie-plague-carrying-monkey in a hat fez HAT FEZ

Great Dredd's spireite68 particularly the iconic chin{s}.
I'm a chin man myself he he he. Dredd isn't Dredd without the chin. I just copied these. The first one is from Incubus and the other is the The Judge Child "you creeps must think I sailed through space on a synthi-biscuit" panel ( the greatest DREDD line ever IMHO).
A noirish femme fatale, warming up for my upcoming horror strip with The Emperor (she's not an actual character in the strip though):

Like that Grim. Really well done. The red is very effective.
Scribbled a few things with pencil/ pentel brushpen. Love the brushpen but I need more practice. The paper had a little too much texture for smooth lines. Should have used bristal board. ho hum

LATE NIGHT TUESDAY HELLBOY!

My entry this week for the http://weeklythemedartblog.blogspot.com/ - the theme this week is Ronald Searle.
Here's Ron, Harry and Hermione from the Harry Potter books
Bored for 45 minutes and this is the result: :D
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/DoodlebotOfDoom/2000ad/anderson1.jpg)
Very sexy and incredible, particularly considering the 45 minute time frame. (Even if you'd taken longer it'd be good.)
Cassie wouldn't be out undressed like that though. ;)
Enjoying sketch session tonight... this wee Dredd popped by for a visit.

Good sketch Neil. Don't know if it was a conscious decision to leave the gun unfinished but it's quite effective
Like an early Brendon McCarthy or Mike McMahon. Great line work Neil.
Cheers my dears! :) @Doombot - yeah, I was considering paining it up a bit, so was imagining a smoking gun/watery colory thing. Also, it was 3am... :)
Been using some of my 10 minute portraits for inking practice, gets me nice and loose (ahem):

These are great mygrimmbro'. What kind of brush pen did you ink them with? I bought one over the weekend. If I ever get round to drawing I might try it out.
Cheers Supes, it's the old Pentel brush pen - absolutely swear by it.
Wow. I love the way you've kept the urgency and energy from the pencils. Those are really good. So few inkers that I see can do that. Inks can swamp the raw punch of pencils so often. Not those. Brilliant stuff.
That David Lynch is uncanny!
Very much appreciateed chaps! :-[

Great stuff fellas. Love that Dredd Neil.
I took the plunge and joined the Weekly Themed Art Blog (http://weeklythemedartblog.blogspot.com/) for a bit of impetus in the tablet scratching stakes. X-Men this week and I tried an "Apocalypse", shamefully had no idea who he was until I asked a mate for suggestions of non-movie villains. I left it in "pencils" blue 'cause none of the more finished black and white ones I tried had the same menace. Think I'll sketch straight into B&W from now on.
(http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq47/spugnut/apocalypse-1-1.jpg)
Found this while clearing some stuff out of my parent's loft. I think it's from about 2006-2007, a half-finished piece for one of the early froum art comps.
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/037/7/8/sad_mongrol_by_darkjimbo-d4oubbq.jpg)
Lovely stuff, Jimbo.
I drew this at work a few years back. Started off just drawing Hammerstein's head, but it was a quiet time of year and no customers turned up to interrupt me, so it kind of ballooned out from there.

Having a lot of fun with these!
@mygrimmbrother - no way are those doodles man. Fecking lovely work.
mygrimmbrother These are brilliant as ever! you are a portrait machine!
Cheers Neil - I never know which thread to go for - I'm certainly very proud of them but they don't take long at all, so I dither between art & doodle. Went for doodle in the end because I'm a humble chap really!
Steven - thanks man, I have very productive spurts where I'm up til 2, but then I crash (day job and all getting in the way), and produce nothing for a week.
Haven't linked from DA before but here goes:

http://staticgirl.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=scraps#/d4pdpa4
It was started with a real pen and paper, photographed then doodled on further in Deviantart (also incorporating a photo of one of my fave pieces of graffiti on the West Coast Mainline) whilst something boring was on the telly. I have been asked to do a cover for a book in the slowly burgeoning 'super-powered chavs' sub-genre and I was trying to get in the mood and feel my way round two of the characters.
It made me realise that the way tags look the way they do is because the tagger can't lift his can away from the wall until its finished and it has to be quick. The artier pieces of graffiti must take forever and they must have a mate looking out for them.
That's gorgeous Static Girl - I've just finished reading Hellraisers by Robert Sellers & JAKe and this image and quote struck me. Love Oliver Reed.

Cool stuff guys
MGB, I'm getting a great Jesus Redondo vibe off your current work, its really fluid and loose. Awesome work dude.
Haven't looked at this thread in a while, but by Christ there's some great stuff there! MGB, is the third one down Ian Curtis? I've just been painting a mural of the bastard all day, so maybe I'm just seeing him everywhere
It is indeed Mr Christ! Any chance of you posting a photo of the mural? Love to see it.

I will indeed, as soon as I buy a card reader for my camera in the next couple of days. Funny you should paint nearly exactly the same picture as I did - in fact as a result of staring at him all day I got a bit obsessed and spent the last few days listening to and watching films and documentaries about Joy Division. Not exactly good for one's outlook on life but a great band all the same.
CFM - top likeness of the legendary Sir Reed, instantly recognisable.
Grimm Brother - not sure at the moment. I need to find a way of reeling my popped eyes back into my skull before i can make a proper assessment... ;)
Been quiet at work, had some good doodling time...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v57/woolly/worksketches.jpg)
The Slaine started off as a Dredd, as you can probably guess from the chin ::)
Woolly those are fantastic! Would love to see a Slaine strip in that style :)

MGB, here's my Ian Curtis - oddly similar to yours though in a totally different style. I'll post other details of the mural on the Does My Art... thread.

Great Alpha there too, Jon.
Just saw a Thai bloke in Bangkok wearing a Joy Division t-shirt, with exactly the same Ian Curtis pose on it as the one My Grimm Brother drew. There's no escape!

Very cool! Is that inspired by that Devil / Angel Gang story from years back? (That's my wank-bank stocked for the evening; you can't beat a seventy-year-old man's bare buttocks.)

And thank you all.

Nice portraits, Sprite68. Lovin' that Dwarf, DanboJohnJ. And Jon, that monsters ace. I love the way you've left the lower legs slightly unfinished, allowing us to see how the colours are built up. Really like seeing others work process'. ;) I love this whole thread!

Thanks, Darren, for very effectively justifying my laziness.
*Cough* Ahem! Yeah, that's what I was doing...
A bit of colour practice,I need to get my head around photoshop yet,still very much a newbie....the colours are too bright on this but still learning...
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k192/danbo1138/comic_guy_panels_by_danbo1138-d31egg5.jpg)
Fun with vectors. Figured I needed practice.
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7196/6882035666_23cfd16aea_c.jpg)
Nice,thats the next thing I need to learn,bloody vectors.....I just blast a full page at the mo and erase the rest :/
Nice effort Danbo. Agree the colours are a bit neon but at least they're consistent across all the panels so that works. Remeber you can always play around with filters and adjustment layers in photoshop to tone things down if you find the colours aren't to your liking.
Love that Sparkonaut.
Filters? more Photoshop sorcery....going to have to get a PS for dummys book...
Done another Dwarf,still a bit 'neon' ...

LOVE the colours used in that, excellent!
:) Cheers,I got inspiration for the colours from the early pages of Watchmen and thought I would give it a whirl.
That looks really great. I love that kind of colouring.
Wow Sparkonaut, DanboJohnj and Bhuna this is an ace page. :o :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

My niece knows of my love of all things 2000AD so she drew her own version of Dredd.

Great Dredd. Why has he gone all fruity? Why is he melting? Is there a back story to that? Probably not but I like it anyway.
Brilliant. Would she take a tenner to draw Pete Wells block?
Reminds me of Opel Fruits and now I'm dying for a pack.
This is a bit pink.

Love the Trafic stop one and the Sharkara,that Dredd inking one would look smart blown up to fit a huge wall.

Oodles of doodles. Pissing about with my new(ish) pocketbrush, still amazed at the variance in lineweight I can acheive with one tool. Ignore the quality of the scrawls, just focus on the crisp lines and ragged drybrush made by my favourite toy. Additional help from a friendly tippex pen.
More of this crud...

I know right? I'd been in a bit of an art funk lately, but after having a bit of a play with the pocketbrush this weekend I literally can't stop doodling. This thing is so addictive it should come with a health warning.

Woolly, at the risk of starting some sort of weird, uncomfortable mutual appreciation club; likewise*. That's beautiful! I like the more finished piece on the other thread too (but I'll just post the once to keep the man** love down ;))
*I mean it's down to Tharg really, and he's proven hard to please so far, but you get the general sentiment.**Possibly a dreadful assumption on my part. :o

My wee lassie Boo and I made a monster the other day, great fun. :)
Yikes, two days without looking at this thread and there's almost too much to take in!
Wonderful stuff, guys.

Woolly - Excellent

You all make me sick. ;) Far too talented.

I've been to British Museum today and did some sketching. Looks like an alien. Was actually a neolithic clay figurine from Serbia (if you can't read my scribble)

From an iron age cauldron - the drawing is wonky but I think it adds character.
I love the twist in Mean's spine Jon, cracking sketches.
Wooly and staticgirl - interesting that you've both done super art that's been inspired by antiquity/archeology - I have a pal doing an artist's residency on some archelogical sites, it's fascinating stuff.
Great sketches staticgirl. :thumbsup: I really like the face from the iron age cauldron, the wonkyness gives it a slight Mignola feel.
Stew.
I haven't stopped by here for ages. Amazing stuff. Cool museum drawings Staticgirl. I used to go to museums to draw years ago.
Took a snap of this Dredd head. I didn't post it in the 15 min thread as I doubt it even took 2 mins. Not sure about the Hipstamatic effect but what the heck.

Nice work everyone. flip-r, that's a good starting point for your new painting. Nice and detailed. Usually, when I intend to paint, the pencils are terrible. Can never seem to draw what I want properly, which causes issues the further into the picture I get! :D

Noisy - That RoboCop is Jock-tastic!
Phuz - that Dredd in the bottom left corner of your inks page is brilliant. Got a good McCarthy vibe to it.
All good stuff in this thread :)
Gret work chaps!
Here's a little pic I've done for Dirk Van Dom. Tiz Buck Tucker from Vanguard (I illustrate these sick little tales too) which is produced by Dirk. It's strange the thoughts you have whilst driving home from your 9-5 job!

Lots of brilliant art to browse through since I was last on here.
CF out of all the sketches I tried it was the only one I was happy with both hand and gun.
Darren, as I not done a lot of painting I'm unsure what to do so I looked at the WIP images on David Millgate and Kev Crossley's Facebook pages and they both draw quite detailed images first and that's why I went down that route.
Here's a WIP photo of my painting.

Coming along nicely, Filip! Yeh, I think my problem is impatience. I just can't wait to slap the actual paint on, so scrimp on the pencils to cut time. A habit I'm trying to break out of. ;)
Quick, cathartic lunchtime scribble to blow the cobwebs away.

Brilliant work chaps. That 'lunchtime scribble' is amazing, Jon.
I wish i could scribble like that in my lunchtime!
Ah, thanks. I've not had chance to pick up a pen (or stylus) in weeks. It was getting to me.

I've seen your stuff, it's good; you could
easily scribble like that in your lunchtime (though, perhaps, something less juvenile ;) ). It's just a technique to keep speed up, really; broad strokes, to small strokes, and never be afraid to obliterate everything. The rest is just a bit of practice - and drawing certain things over and over until it's second nature.

love the feeling of movement in the fabric, Jon
or is it skin?
I seem to remember it was supposed to be fabric - like they're actually ghosts, but ghosts wearing sheets to look like ghosts, sort of thing.
It was for kids... you know... ;)

The Spirit – one of my favourite comic strips. I was fortunate enough to see the 'Will Eisner's New York' exhibition in NYC last year at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. Amongst the artwork on display was an entire comic strip shown with original artwork which was amazing.
Need to get some better white out paint. I'll put a tidied up version up on my (very sparse) looking blog.
Wow, just wow Supersurfer that's just great.
Very jealous of you getting to that Eisner exhibition as he's one of my all time favs as is The Spirit specifically.
Thanks Colin. I'm currently reading The Spirit 'Femmes Fatales' collection which I bought for the measly price of £3 from a local bookshop. And it's printed on more or less newsprint paper which adds to the joy.

I've just received this from a new artist who is joinging the Stockport Comic Collective blog.

Surely we have to do a '2000AD team-up' theme for one of the forum art comps.
As I recall, it was mentioned before and we shied away from it because, whilst it's one thing for people to post any damn thing they please to the various art/sketch threads, it was possibly a different case if Rebellion, even indirectly, was seen to solicit or encourage copyright infringement. Also, some companies are
very twitchy about seeing their characters depicted with characters belonging to other companies...

Thats a shame, surely theres ways around it using a limited pool of characters say from obsolete comics or publishers or something? Would like to see Rupert vs Shako now but not a Venus Bluegenes and Smurfette team up.
You know how you sometimes start something and it all seems to go wrong for no good reason. That's this. I give up. Whatever reason or idea I had that made me start has vanished. Time to move on...

Yes, I recall that discussion and totally agree that we should shy away from any use of non-Rebellion characters in a forum competition.
This time I was thinking we could do Team-Up but only with 2000AD characters, in the way that Marvel Team-up and Two-in-one would feature only Marvel characters.
Eg ABC Warriors and Droid Life, Shako and Bonjo, etc.
Anyway, this thread is about pictures. Apologies for the diversion.
Nice one Doombot. What goes on Tor, stays on Tor (or any sundry henge).
I've posted a link to this in some other threads so sorry if I'm getting on people's nerves but was wondering if people wouldn't mind spending 10 minutes reading a small script I've posted. Just wondering what people think and maybe even catch and artists or two's attention.
The link is here: http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,37274.0.html (http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,37274.0.html)
Hope people enjoy :)
You're DEFINITELY going the right way about getting some attention. Here's a tip that always guarantees a critique: say that you're THE BEST AT WRITING in the post title. You'll encourage vitriol.
Or HERE'S an idea, send the script to a small press editor or writer rather than just posting it up and going "CHECK THIS OUT" and spamming all the art threads. If you're not willing to then you'll just have to accept people's silence as a critique in of itself. Which is not rewarding or fun.
Dredds mush,it's all I can be arsed to draw due to being knackered from work... I can't think what to put in the background though at the moment so it's stalled untill I think of something.

Very 1960s! Groovy!
I rediscovered this pencil drawing this afternoon and worked into it with Photoshop (while watching Red Dwarf - pleasant evening, really).
It's not often that I return to a 10 year old sketch that got passed over by Tharg at Dreddcon, but there's something about this mech that appeals to me. I'm thinking the nebula stuff is a bit too obvious (for want of a better expression). As much as I'm loving the drawing/ collage thing, I still want to be able to do some pure ink work like Danbo's Dredd. I'm defo using the multimedea to remove attention from poor penwork.
Too tired to keep up the analysis. Bedtime... Oh, and I suppose I should actually post the damn image.
(http://www.jacobturner.co.uk/images/greymechsketch.jpg)
If anyone's got any advice I'd be happy to take notes.
By the way Flip - how do you get the dotted fill effect going? I've wanted to do something like that for ages.
Howdo mate, loving your Mek, the way I get the dots is colour on separate layers then Filter- Pixelate- Colour Halftone each colour in turn. Not really sure if this is the correct way to do, but it's the only way I know.

Thanks. That's probably as good as any. I wanted a way of simulating the old mechanical tint effect.
JTurner - it's a lovely image. No advice to offer here. It might not have been right for 2000AD but it's still good on its own account.

Two of my favorite characters of all time there Darren. If it wasn't already my birthday it'd feel like it was my birthday :)
Happy Birthday Sir! :-P
Nice work JT - colours on that nebula look great.
Love the spidey head Darren
Wanted to have some fun and find any excuse to play about with Manga Studio... so....
Scooby dooby dooo....

Thats terrific, Doombot. Reminds me of the old Scooby Annuals from my youth. :)
Darren - love the 'crinkly' outline on the Boba Fett and the subtle shading, something about it took me right back to my childhood comics. Something about the colour work that I can't quite describe. Wierd. One of those pictures that just 'clicks'.
DoomBot - stop encouraging me to buy things like Manga Studio... Thanks for the comment - the nebula is 3 nebula photos overlayed. Thank god for NASA hubble photo galleries!

Been catching up on scanning. Lots of pics.
Superb doodling as ever, Jon. Bolt, some fab stuff there, Sir. You do a cracking Dredd. ;)
A couple of Dredds I did in biro and scanned in:

I have two questions for folks more learned than myself: is there anything I can do to make the blacks blacker? I scanned the pictures in mono rather than colour but they both look a bit washed out. Also, having scanned them in I'd like to import them in to Gimp and paint underneath the image. Is there a way to do this? I know I can paint over the image, but I'd rather not lose sight of the detail.
After a strange year, I've been trying to get back to drawing by doodling - got a bit carried away "augmenting" these doodles in paintshop thingamee, but still at their heart doodles....
(http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n68/DobeyKweeg/THUGSKELETON_zps791714a0.jpg)
Great Dredds there, Night book. Love those "doodles" too, Leigh. Lovely textures to them. Very naturalistic.
Fabulous work guys.
Merry Christmas all.
Stew.
Nightbook - I am unfamiliar with GIMP but I suspect you need to look at finding the contrast controls and playing with them a bit to start off with. You'll probably find other things that work with time too.
Also you will need to Learn to love Layers. You could create a layer on top of the pic which is transparent so that the colours don't obscure the inks. You could select and delete the white, create masks - do all sorts. In fact there are quite a lot of options.
I would suggest googling tutorials for GIMP and colouring in lineart until you find one for scanned in art. It's so long since I did it I can't really remember what I used to do. the art threads here in creative commons may also have more ideas.

I've used gimp for years although not much familiar with v2.8
If you're using Linux you can scan straight into gimp, not sure about windows.
To make the lineart darker use the levels tool in gimp, or even brightness/contrast settings as staticgirl suggests
To colour your lineart use layers. Copy the scanned in layer. Change it's mode to 'multiply', create a new layer underneath your multiply layer and colour on that. This is standard practice for most painting apps including photoshop. In fact many photoshop tutorials are equally applicable to gimp.
Staticgirl and DoomBot: thanks for the advice - it's much appreciated!
Another Dredd, albeit with the levels altered:

Repo Man rarely strays from my top five movies list. I've never tried colouring anything digitally at all, let alone on the iPad, so I thought I would give it a go with this doodle. Turns out finger-painting is a fun enough way to spend a Friday night! Hoodathunkit....

Johnstress, those horses look awesome, full of character and movement, I find it really hard to draw horses, I even bought a book on how to draw them to help, short of copying photos I can't draw a horse without it looking like a dodgy stuffed toy.
I got so excited about Michael Biehn being in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (http://"http://youtu.be/0dofacvjRkc") that I did a little doodle of him as Kyle Reese. At least, that's who it's meant to be.
Incidentally, I met Michael Biehn not so long ago and took the opportunity to ask him what his favourite B-movie is. He told me it was the Buddy Holly Story. I've never been sure if he was serious, taking the piss, or thought I was asking him about movies beginning with the letter 'B'.
Regardless, a very, very nice man indeed. Rad megadude.

Finding drawing damn hard these days. The little amount I used to do would be squeezed into evenings/nights but for reasons I won't go into that isn't possible for last few months.
I tried to get something in for the June art comp. I gave up then kept on opening the file and messing about with it. I was going to enter: the guy with the two storey brain, the guy with the high rise head: Abelard Snazz.
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/Abelard-Snazz3sm_zps3e55e31a.jpg) (http://s180.photobucket.com/user/mycenaean/media/Abelard-Snazz3sm_zps3e55e31a.jpg.html)
Great work.
Seeing the upper half of that guy's face makes my eyes go funny. It did in the original Moore strip and it does in your work.
Quite a strange sensation!
Very well captured as, as Mardroid said, if captured correctly it induces an odd sensation. My eye's can't focus on either set of eye's though I can tell they are both there.
Damn shame that didn't make the comp Supersurfer. I'd have found a place for it that's for sure.
Thanks guys.
Was a real pain as I tried to print it in blue line for inking but my printer was smudging ink. I attempted to ink it with a brush pen but it clogged up making it difficult to get a thin line. (By the time it's rinsed out half an ink refill is wasted.) So I gave up and re-inked it on the computer after giving up on the comp.
not very busy in work today

Been months since I've posted here. Ages ago I started working on this Mega City One pixel art piece, then I got a load of other work piled onto me. Finally got around to working on it again this week. Not finished yet, but close...

Wow - thanks for the link. It frightens me to think how long that level of detail would take to draw. Anyway, I think I'll post the final Mega City One piece on the completed art thread now, though I'm sure I'll return to it later and add more.

Hi all! :) New on board, and have just posted on the welcome to the board thread, but just wanted to put up a little sketch of a Dredd head I did in work earlier.
Looking at all the posts on this and the 'Does My Art..' thread has inspired me to put some of my own stuff up for you to enjoy / critique. I also have some sketches and stuff I have done on my tablet (a recent gift) that I am sure will find their way on here eventually.. Please be gentle ::)

Jesus christ man thats a nice piece! If it had been on different paper it would be worthy for the other thread!

Love that sketch it reminds me of some of Glenn Fabry's stuff.
I'll second that. Great stuff, Johnny!
Same goes to you, animes, that's a definitive Dreddhead if ever there was one
You really need a t-shirt with a giant OBI pic on it Johnny
Thought I better give my new Bamboo a try out, so here's my first completely digital drawing in a long time, the BPRD's Johann Kraus.

Some of the stuff in here looks amazing guys Fairplay. :) keep it up!
What are you colouring in, there?
If it's photoshop then instead of physically selecting the areas on the drawing to colour then the best thing to do is create a new layer under the drawing layer - set the style of the drawing layer to "multiply" and colour the blank layer underneath. If that makes sense!
Cheers CFM! I think that makes sense.. I don't think I was thinking straight when I started late last night to be honest! Haha..
I think I did it in a doodle app we have? Will sort something better soon though!
This was supposed to be a sketch of Peter Capaldi as Dr Who. Pf.

Great Dredd and Dark Judges Hawkmonger.
Been in two minds about whether to upload this. It was one of my genderswap art comp ideas I didn't work up. Was a bit uncomfortable that it might be taken the wrong way, but in case it's not clear it was meant to be a piss take of a particular image that always comes up in Google when searching for Judge Anderson. Of course in 2000AD Anderson has hardly ever been portrayed in that way but in fan art and commissions people seemed compelled to draw her with top unzipped.
Also was inspired by http://thehawkeyeinitiative.com and http://barbaricpoetries.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/comic-book-movies-inherit-sexism.html
Apologies for the name though.

Thank you very much SS. Honeslty I wasn't very happy with the Death and the Three Stoogies, but as it was a sketch and a test run on water's then I don't mind so much. And for once, draw the codpiece on Anderson!

Started as a sketch in my 'doodle pad' on the way home from college, but I've decided to finish it and add a bit more, so at the moment I guess you'd call it a work in progress.

Something I noticed - did the drawing outlines in black ink - but when that's filled -with the same colour - the outlines are changed to grey. Ouch. So you gotta go back and draw over the lines in black..

The first proper drawing I did in about 25 years is over on this month's art comp. However, this is the first hack I had with a pencil. I did it a few weeks ago after I got a piece of original art from Leigh Gallagher's Defoe and had a go at copying one of the zombie's expressions. I then put in the monster thing and the water...

Scanner broke. A doodle a did at work. Started out as a man standing in a door way. Somehow turned it into the final scene from Lovecrafts Dagon. ::) Pencils and pastels. Think i'll start using WC more as I fins they work better with inks and I can get my head around them easier. Pastels are still good for doodling though.

After they make this a second DREDD Movies a cert! The Movie industry knows that Godzilla is going to be a big Film next year so here's our spin on that a 400 foot Judge who loves stomping on criminals -and everyone else. Tell them it's a prequel or some such nonsense.

I disagree.
It's unfinished (deliberately rather than in the way that all art is unfinished), and intends only to explore a few things while merely suggesting others. It is certainly not production standard for the industry it is intended. I therefore maintain it is most definitely a sketch, which is why I put it here and not the other thread.

No plans for these designs at the moment, but I may use them in the future. I'm stockpiling all these characters so I can go back and nick ideas from myself instead of nicking other people's ideas.

The only advice I can give Hawkmonger is try and visualise what you're drawing from different angles then practice, practice and when you get sick of it, practice more. One day it'll just click (I should listen to my own advice more).
Also the Scott Robertson DVDs on rendering are quite useful. They are more technical and show some practical methods to render value:

Seriously! Good stuff, man.
My lesser offering - Judge Death sackboy. I JUST discovered the existence of the 2000AD LittleBigPlanet skins and this was missing.

Ha ha. Awesome. I know some if those guys, I'll let them know. ;)
Every now and again I get the overwhelming urge to have a crack at a dragon, though the dragon generally wins.
I blame Larry Elmore.

Took twenty minutes out to start on a commission piece for a friend. This is for his wedding invitation.
Wouldn't be my first choice... fun though maybe not progressive...;)

wow. I thought I was going against the grain in painting in a tiny little Dredd badge in my invitation. This definitely takes the cake :)
I like that it feels a bit pulpy, you should desat the background and really push the red dress :)
Sadly the feedback is that they want green fire in the background. I suppose it's a Hammer kind of look they're going for.
That's frigging outrageous and stupid. Where's the tradition?
Think of her parents, think of her friends. She will have to live with that invite forever, you know.
How will she be able to hold her head up? The shame, the whispers behind hands, the furtive looks.
You are doing that, Jon. You are part of her misery.
The dress should be white

Keep the swimming goggles.
They scream 'diving off the deep end'.
Love it. Your mate obviously got the steampunk bug somewhere between your first and second attempts. They're both great though
Heh, thanks. Well it's the guy who makes Professor Elemental's videos for him, so he's a bit steampunk. A dapper steampunk werewolf were his exact words....:)
Heh. You nailed it!

Hello peeps, been busy but I just got into the IDW Rogue comics and got super hooked, it's a shame they aren't going to make any more since IMO they're a lot better written than the main IDW Dredd line!!!
The only thing is it seems like Rogue is drawn inconsistently between the cover/interior artists, I'm quite confused about what his equipment looks like...pretty sure Bagman is a ninja turtle shell.
As usual I only draw retarded things like group naptime, I'm really sorry.

Mimi- that is lovely.
yeah sweet Mimi...
talking about equipment design...Dave Gibbons did the original designs so I guess his Rogue should be the marker:

(http://s29.postimg.org/n6z8g1p47/rogue_wilson_2.jpg)(http://s27.postimg.org/ffh4vbger/rogue_wilson.jpg)
I guess the artists were given some creative sway about how he looked but taking a look now it's interesting how consistent they are, really. Pew! pew! pew!
@Bolt-01: <3
@Mr Eight: thanks for the pics, I just ordered the Tales of Nu Earth volumes so pretty excited to read those.
I just looked up some of your older art posts, they are pretty f'ing sweet, do you mind if I link them in my tumblr? w/credit of course
thanks a lot Mimikeke - yeah link away -
hope The Tales of Nu Earth inspires you to do more cartoon Rogues, love to see'em!
just curious what you do as a job? you got a fantastic sense of line
@mimikeke - - thanks for that - yeah, I churn out dull commercial art as a job so it's fun to turn around and let loose some comic-book stuff whenever my bank manager isn't looking.
- you ever put together a whole comic-book in your style? That'd be s thing to see.
In fact: talking of comic-books...here's a shameless plug: I did some pages recently for a World War One comic-book anthology that is being put together in London - here's the cover:

It's currently getting money together for a print run on Indiegogo
you got a site up? I'd be curious to see more art.
I haven't done any comic book stuff - I'm in the midst of revamping my portfolio this year and am doing a realistic movie!verse version of the Democracy and Cursed Earth storylines, it should be fun.
Not really a doodle but I don't know where to post this. A crop tank I'm screenprinting for myself. There isn't any "cute" 2000ad gear for girls unfortunately. I'm guessing the profit 2000AD would make off their female fanbase is pretty nil, boo. :rolleyes:

I done a turtle...

I've just started drawing as a hobby after years of not doing anything but now I want to learn how to do it properly. The first is a lovely waves scene I drew following a tutorial and the second was supposed to be Jack Keroauc but just ended up looking like a random man. He was also confidently identified as Duncan Bannantyne by someone I asked. I now realise his eyes are too small as well.
Sorry they are so massive, not sure how to fix that. I will post something on-topic next.

A good one to repanel though. The original had the judge (Giant I would hope) on a child's toy Lawmaster :)
Aye, even unfinished your one looks wayyy better than the original. (That story's a load of pish too - Dredd discriminating against female judges? Feck off, Alan.)

Abandoned art comp attempts :o

Thanks Darren. It was a 90 min piece on the Bosto tablet so very experimental as I've not used manga studio 5 much yet. I need to make some brushes.

Judging by the quality of the inks on the New Gods pic, I might have to give this Manga Studio a try. Lovely stuff.

Hi Darren, have just been looking at those Frenden brushes and they look great and I want to buy them, but can you tell me if I am being stupid. The link takes me to a brush pack plus their description, containing pencil ink and paint brushes, but when you click on buy now the link is broken. Going directly to the shop I and I am not able to see this brush pack anywhere only seperate ones fro ink, pencil, paint etc??
If no ideas then I will contact Frenden direct, Cheers! :)
Hi Amines, ah, not sure, sorry dude. I would suggest contacting Frenden direct. He's a lovely bloke and very helpful!
Lovely stuff by all. Is that a "project" there Jon?

If you're stuck, there's no shortage of art forums sharing their own brushes amongst themselves. Just go to Deviantart and search for "Manga Studio brushes" to get a decent selection for the last few versions of the software, although you can get the same results as those samples with a bit of tweaking at MS' regular brush and pen settings.
Cheers Bear McBear I will have to have a look later on and see what I find!
Really, I don't know what I'm doing anymore :) . This amused me for a while over the weekend.

Hope this works as I'm not familiar with this way of uploading images. Assuming it does, I couldn't create anything to compare with the wonderful art on this thread, but I thought this drawing might amuse. I've heard the Teletubbies are returning to tv and wondered what it'd be like if Justice Dept recruited Tinkywinky as a Mega City judge. In case the picture isn't self-explanatory enough, the triangle on his head is a radio, with a message from control coming in.
(http://1drv.ms/1uhauLc)
It didn't work. I put the image on Onedrive and put the link in the post, evidently that isn't the way to do it. Help please.
Good approach is to hit
Quoteagainst a previous post containing an image. Don't send anything, just copy the formatting of tags you'll see. Plus always try [Preview] before sending; if the image doesn't appear, you'll need to reformat.
An icon is available above, of course, but in the beginning that can prove tricky.
Terribly rusty, first serious go at doing anything more than sketching since last November- a Stront from a couple of DogBreath stories... 'Noseless' Laura Gonzalez. I'm going to use this inktober thing to try to get back into the swing of things.

:) Thanks Bolt- I have an x-ray appointment around the middle of Nov. which I'm hoping will be the last- it's supposed to be decision-time (for the third time).
If there are absolute and clear signs that the bone's definitely healing then they are going to leave me alone and I can get on with things again- if not, then they're sending me for bone grafts and it'll be a while before I recover from that enough to get drawing again.
The minute I'm able to commit, rest assured I will. Sorry I can't be more specific than that (and for not being available for DB over the past... ages!)- it's been months of limbo, the heart is still there though.

I love the way this picture looks so raw but at the same time it's precision is striking. The way you've drawn it looked quite easy to copy until I tried to do so. I like the hatching on the Darth Maul one too.
Here is another effort from me. When I was a kid we played by a river, especially when a tidal bore locally called The Aegir passed by because it was an eerie and wondrous sight for us. I think the name is from a Norse god of the sea since the area had been under Viking rule at one time. To stop us playing there my dad recounted stories of a hooded figure who would emerge from the water and beckon children in before drowning them. That did the trick.
Only years later did I find out this hooded figure was from a public information film warning of the danger of ponds and unsupervised children and nothing to do with Norse mythology. My dad had seen it an used it to good effect with us. Here is my Inktober homage to that figure. Thanks to SuperSurfer for alerting me to Inktober, BTW, which has got me off my lazy arse to even try.

Anyway, saw the Nemesis on the art comp thread, and it right put me in the mood to have a go myself for my evening session warm-up.

Lovely Nemesis there Jon.
Like this a lot, but I think my preference is for the B&W one... Will this be entered into the art comp?
Ah well, some you win....
Nah, it's just for fun. 2000 AD characters tend to be my "go-to" for warm-ups and the like cos they're so ingrained now.
Nothing on the level of Jon's here sorry, but wanted to put up my original inked sketch of Dredd and Lawmaster that I then went on to colour for Septembers Art Comp.

I like it.
Tonight's 30 minute warm-up.

Cthulhutastic!
I resign.
It's all tricks though, it's just a bit of a practised shorthand, and relying on the brain to fill in the blanks. You know, like that stuff Rolf Harris used to do.
No! Hang on, no, not him...
Jon, that's potentially the best thing I've ever seen. It's could be one of the old Fighting Fantasy game book covers.
That's too kind. I mean, really. :-[
I loved those books though. Spent hours copying the covers of Forest of Doom, Deathtrap Dungeon and Zanbar Bone from City of Thieves. Shoulders of giants, and all that...
This is for a Weekend Sketch Challenge for another forum and DeviantArt group I sometimes participate in. The challenge was to do a sketch from a specific photo. I decided to do mine monochrome, by eye and within 60 minutes. I misjudged slightly and ended up finishing in 65 minutes.

May I ask, is there a specific, technical name for that kind of hatching that I've only seen you do?
Woodcutting is very hard to do I find, while still maintaining depth and perspective. Very well done their Neil.
After a refreshing Google, seems it's generally 'basket' or 'woven'. Like it a lot, has an unusual quality to it that keeps the picture interesting...
Thanks all. I might point out that it's not actually a woodcut Hawk, i've just aped the style a little bit. As for the hatching I've no idea what it's called, it may well be 'basket' or 'woven' but I like it and my fav comic artist used something similar quite a lot. Varying the thickness of line by only a tiny amount over the picture makes a difference and creates a nice style.
Thanks for answering my question, Fungus and Neil. I ask because the b&w pictures you've done for Inktober have been an inspiration, Neil.
I thought woodcutting refered to a method but it seem's I was mistaken and/ or (more likely) just plain stupid. Nice work anyway Neil.
Thanks Ned and Hawk, appreciate your positive comments (also Dan Cornwell from way back that i hadn't noticed) Only three days left of Inktober so why don't you all choose a subject for me to have a crack at.

I have always been comfortable with the idea of feathered Dinosaurs but I became curious about the feathered T-Rex. From all the evidence for the theory I can find I think it is dubious at this stage. The theory seems to follow the logic that because there is evidence that certain species of tyrannosauroid have feathers then it is likely T-Rex has feathers. It is apparently called inductive logic and in this case I believe it is also known as an associative fallacy.
There is evidence that shows the T-Rex was scaled with absolutely no direct evidence (as of yet) that the T-Rex had feathers. Thankfully for those that like their T-Rex's to be scaly it doesn't have to be ruined for them.

(http://dinosaurian-age.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/6/6/23660276/5359304_orig.jpg)
That's a nice image. Nevertheless, the scaled T-Rex is a very iconic piece of imagery and evokes a lot power due to that. It is hard to beat because it's so ingrained.
In some cases the lesser known and evidence-supported feathered dinosaurs have a lot going for them in terms of imagery. The hybrid-imagery of traditional dinosaur imaginings and birds has been very interesting at times.

I've created a little Dredd story, of similar size to those that once appeared in the Daily Star, when a complete tale was told in a few pictures. The plot is that Justice Dept has agreed to give a Block Social Club a guided tour, with Dredd as the guide. Things don't go quite as the citizens expected, most of them ending up cubed or hospitalised!
The art is just very rough sketches, but I think, hope, the humour comes across. First picture is attached, the whole story is here, http://1drv.ms/1M5WrN3
I'm aware this may breach copyright, but the nets full of Dredd fan art, so hopefully the Mighty Ones copyright droids won't take offence!

I love that predator sketch, Jabberwocky, it brings back many nostalgic memories. Is that the predator from the AVP cover?
Thanks, Conceptionalist! I'm glad you like it. It sure is from the AVP cover. Well spotted! I have a Xenomorph sketch that I'm going to upload shortly.
J
Amazing! I'm glad there are still some fans of the old classics around today. I can't wait to see the xenomorph, I always found their inhuman appearance and reproductive capabilities to be incredibly ambiguous and more importantly creepy.
Here is the Xenomorph sketch. I hope it's creepy enough for you!

Awesome. You can even see parts of the xenomorph's exoskeleton. You've even got the correct movement of the creature. I applaud you on your detailed sketch.
It's a fully matured xenomorph, so I would assume that this is based off either AVP or aliens (alien 2). But from the movement of the creature (a stalking crawl) I would go towards the idea that this was based off aliens.
Over on The Weekly Themed Art Blog, the new theme was 'bounty hunters'. Having not drawn anything new for a while I decided to start off with just colouring up an old one from a couple of years ago

but I wasn't happy with the pose so decided to start from scratch and repose the figures.

After settling on the pose, I then decided to draw it all up on MS

Thanks, mate! I did design it off the Aliens film. You'vce got a really good eye! Do you (or anyone else) fancy having a go at guessing which Dredd story I sketched these from?

Sorry for the sizes of the photos in my last post. Here are them again resized to fit the screen.

umm... I couldn't guess for the life of me. There are too many dredd story arcs to pin point this one scene. I don't remember one with a hover cycle like that one... having said that, I keep getting the 90s Judge dredd movie popping up in my head, but I can't for the life of me remember if there're any hover cycles in it.
p.s. sorry about the long wait for a reply, I've been hitting my head against a wall to get my work done.
It reminds me a lot of a Simon Colbey style Dredd. If so then which story??
Thanks for guessing guys. Both sketches are based on images from the 'Long Hard Road' story which was written by Matt Smith and published by IDW as the Judge Dredd Year One mini series. The artist was indeed Simon Coleby. Good spot, amines!
Some odd head sketches from today.

And this is what happens when a writer, who can't draw to save his life, starts to doodle in a monotonous class.
(also, I apologise if this exceeds the image size.)
This is as far as I got then abandoned ship. Based on a Swamp Thing cover.
Never ceases to amaze me how many brilliant enemies Dredd would regulaly kill off. He'd get through a Marvel Universe worth of characters in a matter of months.
Oh well, at least I got some valuable practise in.

What art comp? That was a self-initiated project... er, yes, art comp blues. I eat, sleep, dream deadlines for work. So even more of them in my rare spare time for fun – that doesn't seem to work out for me.
Nice work Iraina btw.
lunchtime doodles , top one is study of reference picture bottom different pose from head.
started with another character - Sharpshooter -any crits feedback before i start with colors? thanks
Well considering the head cover, I'd like to see it in a kind of 'red sand' colour scheme. Desert sniper?
Really loving all these Lukas, keep 'em coming!
Thanks! here is coloured version

I hope this is the right place for my failed entry into this month's art competition. Proabbly just as well seeing as it's only based on episode of
Slaine & otherwise also taken from something very modern &
American as well.
Myself, I'm more proud of the connection saw between what like & how I could add to something somewhat known to more people while showcasing my lack of practice/lost talent.
(http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp64/CLICKYMAN/CLICKYMAN080/Worms-Head-Gothic_zpsgbhon9qr.png)
I hope what saw is seen by all even if poorly executed......feel free to take this piece & fix it up, pimp it up if you believe it's worth doing so. I would love to see done what I couldn't do properly.
I f had time, I might have done a
Uncle Sam poster altered to look like
Slough Feg recruiting for his
Drune/Skull-Sword army & while I was thinking
America would not see this favourably. It looks like some artist have already done most of the work for me

But you've seen, Does My Art Look Big In This, right?
And the attempts at the sample scripts?
Mentioning just in case. There's some real nice work there too....
so i decided to try my first mini comic just to get grasp of the process, script and layouts are mostly done and now i am trying to decide the art style. what you thing about this?
its a combination of -hard black line > flat colours > first shadow pass multiply layer) > second shadow pass with same color (multiply layer) > higlights > overall gradients > bit of color dodge as a final pass (usage depends on picture content and mood)
I am still not 100% sold so any opinion will help. Should i go more traditional way (blocked out shadows /crosshatching , or colors without gradients and with one layer of shadows only ( as i have things in the past?
Or you think this will work as long i tied up my drawings and anatomy ?
any opinion welcome! cheers guys.

This was to be a follow up for my entry in the 40th Art Comp, but alas ran out of time etc...
Tharg, escaping the clutches of The Law ("Quaquem Blag! I'm free!" - "Halt, green lawbreaker scum!") whilst on his quest for a piss after the 40th celebrations.
Finished version would have included Judge Death leaving the lavvy, and suggesting to 'leave it another 40 yearssss', and Ro-Jaws chowing down on Death's dead fluids.
Yeah, probably best I never finished it... :-\

Fantastic Woolly! Everything you had planned sounds great, I think you need to see those ideas through - too funny not to! Especially Death...
It's fantastic Woolly. Very Henry Flint vibe to it.
Flint? I was thinking Boo Cook.
Still, nicely done though.
Thanks, you're all too kind :-[
Must confess, Henry Flint is currently a massive influence, but I like to think a little of the Brett Ewins influence of old still leaks through... (sniff :'( )
Can definitely see some Flint in there. Really cool!
I forgot about this threads existence, haven't seen it in ages and there's a feast of great artwork on here. Not technically 2000ad related, but close enough...

Awesomeness. Is she for some sort of RPG Game since there's an impressive logo 'Mind Wars.'
Thanks. Nah, she's from Starlord comic- there was a story called Mind Wars by Alan Hebden and Jesus Redondo about twins caught in the middle of an interstellar war between Earth and some aliens. They were weaponised with mind powers and get chased about by both sides. IIRC, it ended just before the merger with 2k and so never got into the merged titles- there was a bit of scope for it to continue though. Maybe it wasn't popular enough, but the art was eyewateringly good. The logo is just a copy of the series logo- great logo though.
It's like Fabry meets Redondo! Fantastic :o
Thanks Woolly.

blimey, that's looking nice.
yeah Filippo- love the foreshortened angle, much more interesting than a straight on shot.
Thanks Dog, original idea was the usual front on normal pose and I thought no let's try something different.
Here's the finished inks and the start of colours.

Wow flip, incredible death! I have enjoyed watching the progression from pencils to inks to colors. Lots of great details too, including the buckle on his elbow pad, shoulder pads, and even the gnarly toe-nails
Thanks Rogue, Death was drawn on A3 aquafine smooth paper with fineliners and brush and ink, then coloured in manga studio. These are the final two images, thanks to all who have taken the time to look at this thread :)(http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/flipray09/Mobile%20Uploads/_20170316_210701_zpsmhe3ins5.jpg) (http://s601.photobucket.com/user/flipray09/media/Mobile%20Uploads/_20170316_210701_zpsmhe3ins5.jpg.html)

That's wonderfull flip-r.
I'm particularly awed by the amount of detail you add at the inking stage - not sure i'd have the balls to attempt that. Bravo sir!
Filippo- that is a really 'lovely' set of images- that final is particularly eye catching. What is the total time taken overall?
Thanks for the kind words Woolly and Bolt :) Woolly, I've always been too lazy to do full pencils and just got into the habit of adding a lot of the detail when doing the inks especially when using fineliners. Bolt, I reckon it took about 20 hours give or take over four days.

A relatively quick John Alpha (maybe 90 minutes). Dodgy pic as it was taken on my phone rather than scanned.

Cheers, Simon.
SIP - that is awesome! I like the clean lines and am surprised how quickly you did it too - well done!
Cheers 😊
I did most of the drawing straight on to the picture, hence some of the problematic anatomy issues, but meant I could finish it at speed.
....and here is a 3 hour Anderson. Drawn quite small. Photo taken on my mobile.....

Thanks SIP, and the same to you!
Brian- that is a lovely Alpha. You've really 'got' the helmet design.
Thanks Dave, took a while to get it right. Maybe Carlos designed it that way so no-one would ever be as good as him at drawing the bloody thing... :D

SIP, as always I really enjoy your style, you have a real signature look of clean lines and bold inking. Great Anderson - I like it!
Awesome Alpha there Brian, nice pencil work!
Brilliant Mean-Machine Darren - I really like the colors!
Flip - posting your progression from beginning sketch to finished colored product is appreciated, really well done!

My first attempt at an entry for this months Art Comp. This was okay but I was haunted by a comment Simon Fraser correctly made about a previous entry of mine amounted to 'Less is more'. I went to bed after doing this thinking I wish I had the ability to capture things as effectively and simply as Pete McKee (Sheffield's finest artist https://www.petemckee.com/ (https://www.petemckee.com/).
So got up in the morning and completely reworked this inspired by the Mighty Mr McKee (though with a tiny fraction of that ability!).
Anyway attempt one for your amusement!

Colin thats bloody great!
Your Pete McKee impression is spot on, but as a fellow Sheffield-er I must say I'm sick of the sight of his stuff, and much prefer your original version. Colouring and shadows are particularly great.

I know what you mean he is getting a bit ubiquitous but I've loved his art for years and years and it still makes me smile. He's ability to capture so much with so little is unsurpassed.
Thank you for the comments on the shading its what I'm happiest with (£8 worth of watercolour crayons from Rymans!) but so very many lines, so very very many and most of them misplaced!
