Thought I should post a few images from the book as well:

Hi all, a bit of shameless self-promotion: this weekend sees the release of a graphic novel I've been working on for the last while (hence having missed the last few art comps). Written by Wayne Talbot, The Broker is a tale of crime, conspiracy, war, violence and big explosions. There's even a tank in it. A big tank. Its a great read.

The book is composed of three parts, the first part's drawn by Ruairí Coleman, the second and third are drawn by me. Colours are by Timothy Brown and Wayne Talbot and lettering is by Miriam Abuin.

Its being launched this weekend at Dublin Comic Con, so if you're around, drop by our table (that's the shameless bit right there...).

It's been a great experience working on this book, and it's been a huge learning curve. Here's a grab of the cover:

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... 

Thanks SIP, and the same to you!

I've a feeling this was a P.E.S.T story, drawn by Gary Leach? I'm fairly sure it was in a prog, not Starlord.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, and many thanks for all the inspirational art over the years. Hope you get well in time for a cracking Christmas!

Well done, all. Here's to Mr. D.

Many thanks for the kind words guys, I really appreciate it. In answer to Old Tankie, I'd say on average maybe 2 days for pencilling and inking each page, however I'm not sure exactly as the comic was drawn in bursts of activity when I had time rather than straight through. Somewhere thereabouts though. The first panel on page 04 took a lonnnnng time!

Aaaaaaaand the other pages...D'oh!

Thought I'd post my entry for the 2000AD Art Competition at Thought Bubble this year.  Was lucky enough (and thrilled!) to get through to the final six.  The script was 'The Timeless Assassin' by Rory McConville.  I'd love any feedback/ criticism/ etc.

I love this thread, its great to see everyone's approaches to the scripts. TB was similar, it was a real eye-opener to see how everyone had handled the script. Such a huge variation in approach. Pity we only got to see page 01 of everyone's entry but I suppose time is always a hard taskmaster at these things.  I thought the other entries were great, Tilen Javornik's entry was a very worthy winner, clearly the best one. Big congratulations to him, looking forward to seeing his first story in the prog.

As an aside, Thought Bubble was brilliant, met loads of great people, including a lot of my art heroes, not to mention meeting Crazyfoxmachine and Bolt-01 of this very forum. Lovely lads!
