Here we are then entertain us!
As suggested in the Hot Dang Doodle Thread (here in fact:
http://www.2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,24092.msg489521.html#msg489521 )
- a reader's art thread for those pieces which are nicest.
To start us off...
(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b168/superstaticgirl/Samhain___The_Morrigan_by_staticgir.jpg) from long long ago...really popular with teenage wiccans and goths looking at my deviantart gallery
(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b168/superstaticgirl/Ten_becomes_Eleven_by_staticgirl.jpg)
Prize for a great thread name! And a great start too, static! I'm off to look in the shed...
Inspired by the lyrics of a Kinks song, just about the only piece I've ever done that I look at without cringing...
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs29/i/2008/129/d/8/Phenomenal_Cat_by_DarkJimbo.jpg)
God that's brilliant!
Bloody Hell Jimbo, that's fantastic!
Phenomenal cat, Jimbo!
(What? Someone had to say it...)
This is part one of a three card series I did for this Christmas just gone - when placed together all three connected images make a larger picture.
I printed them out, then distributed them at work and let them figure it out for themselves - was very satisfying when the company director came running into my office, having just worked it out, asking to see the remaining part - he later asked if I could print one of each for him.

This thread has already shown us it's purpose. Already a classic.
I made this 3d model years ago and then lost it all in a crash. This is about the only surviving piece from the whole sorry affair.

From someone who has no artistic talent whatsoever (me), all I can say is Fantastic Thread!! Truly impressive stuff, particularly the fat pussy.....

I'd caution against it, The Legendary Shark has had to have years of therapy thanks to the post-mortem antics of a certain Mr Solomon Cohen, South African hairdresser turned British comedy film legend. Such an image could put him back years and start the bed-wetting again (the worse thing being it was other people's beds, so you can add nudey sleep walking and nocturnal somnolent burglary to the rap sheet. Plus he
is a shark). So I implore even the most impish of artists to please show some restraint in this matter.
Thanks for your timely intervention, Emp. I feel I can come out from under my rock, now.

Amazing work every one. I do really love your work Jimbo, that is a thing of real beauty. I'm also very impressed by staticgirl, great work you have there. Radiator, people have said it before, but, your style has always impressed me, post the other two if possible.
Excellent! Cool title Static and great work on display. That is an amazingly well finished piece Jimbo. And Radiator, where are the other two man? What are you trying to do to us?
stunning work lads
When i'm very lucky my job involves character design. I rarely get to work these up into finished paintings, but here's a few anyway. Well those meagre few not hogtied by huge non-disclosure agreements and that I'm vaguely happy with...ish.

I'm afraid that giving the cyborg-samurai-dinosaur-cowboy-commando opposable thumbs has just tipped it into the realms of fantasy Radiator. Shame really.

Zombie Saints is surely a comic book idea too good to miss! Nice work johnnystress.
I'll second that! It would make a good band name too - The Zombie Saints
Yes, Zombie Saints!
My mother was given one of those Catholic "trading card" things - a picture of a saint on the front, a relevant quote from scripture or whatever on the back. Sadly no stats for Top Trumps style gameplay. Anyway, my point in mentioning this is she and I near fell over upon looking at the picture. The dude looks JUST like Barak Obama.
On the downside, CAN I FIND THE THING to prove my point? No. Move along. Nothing to see here.
No doubt these cards were used to play the age old Catholic game of Sin Rummy.
Hi gang,
Here's a print/back cover for an upcoming issue of Wasted. jamie Grant is set to color it...so it should look spiffy when its colored!

The Incorruptibles: Zombie Saints who came back to spread peace and love, then stuck around to kick ass.
There are LEGS on that idea. Christianity-friendly spin on the current zombie trend.
Why not? Even Jesus was a kind of a zombie...
He had to fly up to heaven because if he'd stayed, he'd have eventually had to eat brains. And he was a good dude and didn't want that. What a guy.

A
kind of zombie!?! He was Patient Zero! Remember, he died to break the chains of
death itself. Only by eating His flesh an ddrinking His blood can you achieve life after death. He is (literally) Sweet Zombie Jesus.
I'm afraid that angle has been covered quite a bit, there is even a film in the works called Zombie Jesus: Prince of Pieces, see:
http://zeejay.comicgenesis.com/

The gears are turning but, the pub is calling.
The exact reason for this piece escapes me now - a comp perhaps?
But now this JPEG is all that exists of the piece where I feel I first 'got' inking line art with brushes.
And that's why I have a positive attachment to it still.
(http://www.2000ad.org/images/fanart/vertex_beta14.jpg)
My one major criticism in hindsight was the unnecessary Pshop. Something I can't change as I no longer have the digital files or original artwork.
To me the texturing of the clothing adds nothing. The halftone 'vertex' in back frames the figure well enough though.
Ol
Gibson - that linework is so full of life it bursts off my screen!
IOEM - I like the texture on his clothes - it gives that shiny shellsuit type fabric look to it (although you may not have wanted that!) :)

IIRC that was something I was trying for.
Thing is - at around that time I'd found this one brush in Pshop - became obsessed with it - discovered how to tweak the values - wanted to use it in every image - kind of like a 'ketchup with everything' moment.
I can date pretty much everything I did back then down to that one brush.
Perhaps that's what it is - that bit just looks dated to me now.
What a quality thread!
Was thinking earlier that i havent seen anything from Jimbo in a while, and then a double-whammy* of stunners!
Anyway, now theres a thread for it i'll post these up:

Johnnystress, they are fantastic and I'd love to see book filled with there, seriously amazing work.
Grim, that's brilliant and you have just brought back lots of fond memories of Day of the Dead, so thanks very much.
That's a damn fine Bub. Damn fine.
Bub is great! Brilliant drawing of him!
Johnnystress' saints are incredible - I've just discovered the relevant blog, and it's amazing stuff. I've always loved the twisted mythologies that are the lives (and deaths) of the saints, and these are the perfect companion.
Thanks Tordelback, much appreciated

I don't visit the thread for a couple of days and all this smokin' material turns up.
Woolly, you,ve got a Dan-Malone-of-Bitmap-Bros feel coming on there - meaty.
And MGB - I'm finding the clean ink lines over earthy textures and muted palette pleasing too.
And cheers Matt - I've got a heap of old back-up CDs to trawl through - I'm hoping that the original scan is on one.

Funnily enough, that statement can be flipped around and applied to you!
Gorgeous mutie, Sir. Yeah, I'm not getting quite as much time as I'd like to 'art' - my sketches and linework rarely progress as far as the full Pshop treatment these days, and me being me I daren't post anything I'm not completely happy with.
I love that this thread has brought back (however temporarily) some of the board artists who've been a bit quieter in recent years - Woolly, JStress, etc. And all arrayed alongside the new blood that we've gained since! Loving the lino cut and Dunk's zombies.
Does anyone remember Skoi? He really seemed like an artist to watch, but I don't think he's posted for a couple of years now.
The amount of talent on this forum just amazes me! Fantastic stuff and keep it coming
Seems like an appropriate place to post this - an entry for one of the xmas art threads a few years ago. Unfinished because I somehow managed to simultaneously delete the other half of the picture and flatten the layers of what was left before overwriting all previous versions.

It's missing a "P" though, Matt. Is that deliberate?
Thanks lads. Like I say, this is only the surviving half of a much bigger original. Mongrol was riding in the back with a big sack of presents, Deadlock had a book of carols and a christmas pudding or something impaled on the Ace of Swords, and Joe P was reclining provocatively in a 'sexy santa' lingerie job.

I can relate. I think people only get into the back-up habit after they've suffered their first major data loss. My PC has just died and I'm struggling to remember how long it's been since I backed up. I reckon I'll have lost a few months worth of photos, but could've been a lot worse. For some (prescient?) reason, the last time I transferred pics from my camera card, I copied them but did not erase the card like I usually do, so lots have been saved!

Well, it really warrants a dedicated drive, but given the price of HDDs these days, I don't really see the issue with that.
QuoteYou're also still f*cked if the drive blows up...
Which, sadly, happened to mine. It's a question of how much redundancy you're prepared to build into your system back-up procedures. I'm looking into an online/Cloud-based solution as a back-up to my back-ups, since there's a limit to how many drives I'm prepared to have sitting on my desk!

Quite pleased with this. A private commission for a little girls birthday.
That's lovely. I'd be chuffed with that!
Beautiful.
Very nice!
That's an impressive piece there - if it was a page from a Harry Potter comic (odd they haven't licensed anything but I notice DC just recruited the HP publicist... and I wonder if comic book sequels loom when the books run out?) I don't think the reader would be disappointed to find that between the covers. It is also a very nice colouring job too.
Wow, that's good stuff Bolt.

Too true, can you imagine getting something like that [related to your own interests, obviously] as a present? Your head would explode! Top marks also due to whoever thought of the idea in the first place. I'm now imagining my son getting a page of comic art showing him and Captain Rex blasting droids together... I think we'd have to dose him with sedatives first.
Tord- Back in 2006 my little girl was turning the big 5, so I asked an artist I new from FQ to draw a pic for her.
The artist was Stewart McKenny and he'd just landed the job drawing Star Wars adventues for Dark Horse.
(http://www.futurequake.co.uk/imagebucket/davepersonal/2006SMckennyShaakTi.jpg)
The original is framed in my little girls bedroom.
Oh, we know who Stewart McKenny is in our house! I sensibly bought all ten of the original Clone Wars Adventures books (which are among the greatest Star Wars comics ever produced... Volume 3 in particular is pretty much perfect comics) for my own amusement, never dreaming that I would be reading at least one aloud every damn night for months on end... Oh for a return to The Whale and the Snail!
McKenny's "The Drop" and "Heroes on Both Sides" are two of TordelBoy's favourites (despite the serious moral ambiguity of the latter). The man draws a mean Ugnaught Jedi.
Awesome Shaak Ti, BTW, lucky girl!
Cheers Ms. Static! I've had a really good streak of being able to keep my fingers behind the blade, I make up for it in great sawing ragged papercuts though. ow.

NNNNNNOOOOOO Proudhuff!
Constructive criticism is the lifeblood of art. If Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa with a fag in her mouth and nobody said anything we'd have the worst advertisement for lung disease ever painted instead of the world famous classic.
It would actually be a pretty GOOD advert though. Look at her. Look at that sallow complexion, that bored, listless look on her face. THAT CAN BE YOU.
SMOKE!
Interesting argument there, Mike.
Or it could be "Cheer up love, have a tab" with a Marlboro logo in the bottom right corner.
No?
Someone brought this to my attention after I uploaded my Grimly Feendish picture to DeviantArt... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLDifuj4i4s
Bit suspicious if you ask me.

I always thought that the Mona Lisa looked more like a crackhead or smackhead with the lank greasy hair and unhealthy looking complexion.She is particularly unattractive whichever way you look at it.
The Mona Lisa looks like Neil [Young Ones].
All the art I've seen here is pretty damn fine I must say.
This is my contribution to this thread. Constructive criticism welcomed!

Shetland, those are great. Keep it up. Love it.
This thread continues to impress. Not for the first time I'm thinking there ought to be a few new additions to the "Greatest Threads Ever" thread.
Shetland, I want that on a T-Shirt. Sort it.
Nice clean lines from nev and shetland.
Both look good. :cool:
Great death!
Great baby dino!

Great painting Static, and you've got some cool work in your deviant art album.
Violet Red shades,yellow green tints. Complementary cool staticgirl.
@ Tordelback,
I think I can do something about that! The best thing about lino cuts is you can print them on just about anything you can make flat, I'll post a link here when they're ready to go - should be the end of this week at the worst
Nice! I feel a purchase coming on...
Oh! Static, that's really nice.
Very nice, Staticgirl. Tail's possibly a bit thick at the base, but otherwise very cool!
In light of the popular demand (yes you Tordelback), the 'Huevo' t-shirt is go. The link's under 'Tezoar Illustration' in my profile.
(I'm not putting the link right here because I don't know how strict/applicable the 'no spam' rule is, I'd rather not be drug off and shot so soon)

Its really pleasing to see that someone is still working in this medium as it is more of a craft than anything else that is dying out.It was very popular in the UK in the 1950s.
Good stuff.
Great stuff on your site shetland, love those prints
Probably inspired by that great lino print

i9 used to have one of those little wooden dogs with wheels! Yay!
there's something similar to the Banksy approach with that one - I think it's the humourousness..

Great posters there James. Can't wait until my daughters old enough to appreciate me drawing her things. Having said that, for a two year old she's getting quite good herself. :D
It's my middle one's sixth birthday on monday, do I drew this for him today.
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/079/6/c/Clone_Gabe_by_JamesKircough.jpg)
That's very cool James. Great pose. Isn't he a bit small for a Stormtrooper though? :D
He'll be chuffed to bits man.
You realise this makes you the greatest dad in the known universe don't you?
-tccch- Kerrin, that's plainly Clone Trooper armour, a quick look at the kneepads should have made that clear. Love the way James has managed to make it look close to a kid's proportions rather than just sticking his boy's head on top of Temuera Morrison's body, quite brilliant.
Brilliant!
Most of my Dr Who art is done for my nephews. I'll be quite depressed when they get to the mardy teenage phase and aren't impressed anymore....

Yes. Yes it does. Cheers for the comments everyone. I've edited the line on his cheek out on the original, it was making him look a bit too old.
He's been a bit sick this week so this will cheer him up no end.

A fake cover for the non-existent issue 16 of 1980s UK horror comic, Scream! (it only reached issue 15 before merging with Eagle). This was originally created for April Fool's Day last year. It now looks slightly more authentic after being fiddled about with in Paint Shop Pro.

Nice. I used to love that comic! ;)
Excellent idea!
This thread rules!
Here's another from me

Aaah the lovely Bettie Page! That's great Johnny! :)
Wow its an evening of praise for Johnnystress from me tonight. First his comp entry now this one. Magnificent.
HUBBA-HUBBA!
That's another cracker Johnny. It would make an ace upper arm tat. I used to have a lovely Betty Page Zippo, sadly missing in action for many a year now *sniff*.
Ah the notorious Ms Page. A right looker!
James, The DC 15A Blaster is a bit on the small side :geek:.
Just kidding. That is arsom and he will love it too bits.
Makes me wish I was talented.

I'm really liking johnnystresses stuff at the moment. Very stylish.
Just wanted to add a quick pimp: if anyone wants to commission something similar to my Clone Trooper pic I am available and willing. Your child/partner/parent etc. in their favourite fantasy/sci fi/period setting/costume. A lovely and unique gift for a loved on. Get in touch.
The lizards are spreading! I don't know if this is overkill, but the prints finally dried through so I got to scan the chameleon properly:

Ryan I love your work.
Continuing my series of Star Wars related stuff for the kids, here's my daughter Josephine as her favourite secondary Jedi character, Barriss Offee.
(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/084/5/b/Barriss_Jose_by_JamesKircough.jpg)
These have brought me 2(1 definate, 2 possible) commissions from people I know on Facebook too!
Yay!
James I think a certain Mister G. Lucas of California should be giving you a call!
Excellent stuff.
Superb work...!
You have to love that Barriss. The only Jedi that cuts square holes in doors/walls instead of round ones. Great work, now I wish you were my Dad!
Actually, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about...
...son.
Ta very much everybody! I think I'm about ready to calm down a bit on the lino front for another while after tonight (meaning I'm away to run out again, I need to find a roll of this stuff or something...)

Noooooo! That's
impossible!
But seeing as you mention it Pops, how's about one of me as Obi-Wan?
James!
How did you do the intricate pattern on your daughter's head-dress?
Krom- I googled texture, found a hi res 'burnt milk' image, which I bunged into Photoshop, desaturated, posterised using levels, copy and pasted into a selection area taken from the cloak. I set the texture layer to multiply which made all the White transparent and stretched the image within it's mask. Easy.
Tordelback-if your serious drop me a PM.
Nah James, I'm too pretty to be a crazy old wizard. But I do have a clone-obsessed youngling with a birthday coming up and no artistic talent of my own, so I'll converse with the wife and get back to you...
;)Top tip for expelling the white alternative to multiply.
Its from a top illustrator though I forget his name.
Firstly make your image greyscale.
Go to channels.
Select button.
Back to layers.
New layer.
Return to colour.
Fill Selection.
Its particularly useful with pencils.And is supposed to take a little heat off in the printing department.
Give it a try anyhow.
(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g174/daveycandlish/JIKANChristov16.jpg)
Bit more from my Jikan character, a page from a strip written by Christov and drawn by me
Excellent stuff very good design and character. :)
Cool!
James - you're getting a lot of colour banding of that gradient in the background.
Try adding some grain or noise to the image to get rid of it.
Rads, I think deviantART resized it when I uploaded and caused a bit of compression glitchy stuff. The original is supersmooth. I forgot to put the highlight layer (from the glow of the lightsaber) on too, so I'll reupload it sometime. Maybe.
band t-shirt design ..maybe
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/johnnystress/Aces%20Wild/Pilot_aces_logo_htone.jpg)
You got too stop doing this johnny, how many complements do you need, another fantastic image.
That looks fantastic Daveycandlish very cool.
Fantastic johnnystress a good band design or a feisty pulp heroine that's going to blast those Nazis/dinosaurs/Cthulhu?
Biggles never had tits like that! But seriously a fine piece of stress art. Come to think of it Aces Wild sounds like a good alternative-history comic strip title. Love the type face as well. :thumbsup:
Johnny stress, that's severely impressive. Love the Jikan pic too Davey.
Here's another russian zombie:

Well that's quite a stunning way to introduce yourself! Its bloody lovely

Dan and Dave, get thee to the art comp. Nice work fellas. That Durham Red piece is a bit special Dave, and I see from your avatar that you roll your own cigarettes. Excellent.
Now that's what I like to see - hitting the ground running.
Nice work on both fronts. I'm dead impressed. Welcome!
yeow! very nice! welcome to the both of you

Christ! Right, Dave wins, end of thread. We might as well all go home now.

I'm fairly sure you did see it at Bristol last year but it was at the end of my folio. By the time you got there you were already telling me how much you wanted the strip ahead of it. Dogbreath can still have it if they want it. I fell out of love with it after Simon Bisley called it shite, shortly before he signed my arm and called me a c**t.
Anyway, this is an art thread so here is some more art. The first page of that Dredd strip I was showing around Hi-Ex. It's not quite finished as I have just noticed the eagle pad in the last panel is missing a few lines (curses!).

It was originally the movie Lawgiver on the first page, and it will be again on the later pages set in the future. I thought this one was an early Lawgiver, shows how much I know about Dredd. :-[

Thanks fester-- dodgy moments in the spotlight?
Yeah, dodgy with all that Old Testament 'smiting' of random people for tenuous reasons. Presumably scarier times to live in, but it makes for more interesting stories afterwards. Are you doing more of these?

Unfortunately, though I'm fairly pleased with pieces like this one, I'm a bit rubbish at drawing actual comics (I'll hopefully be able to post some evidence here soon...) so that's not going to happen anytime soon.

It's not stopped me... ;)
Seriously though- I know exactly what you mean. The good news is that you'll only get better at it.
It's one thing to draw a nifty stock Dredd pose - another entirely to draw a full strip.
Drawing a comic is like making a mini short film, and you are responsible for almost everything - costume design, lighting, set design, location scouting, casting, grading, direction, editing, stunts and vfx....
It requires a feat of mental gymnastics before you've even put pen to paper and I have the utmost respect for those that are able to do it.
"cover of their prog"
Is what I thirded sunshine - cover cover cover. I want a Radiator cover in 2011 OR I STOP READING 2000ad. It's as simple as that.
Well obviously no, but a cover would be fabulous. Be like Brashill, get in via covers and then do strips a bit later. Although that strip SHOULD NOT be a new Spacegirls. Lawdno.
QuoteIt requires a feat of mental gymnastics before you've even put pen to paper and I have the utmost respect for those that are able to do it.
Seconded. I frequently write panels and think 'I have no idea how the artist is going to do that', but they always do, and usually better than I could have imagined.
QuoteSeconded. I frequently write panels and think 'I have no idea how the artist is going to do that', but they always do, and usually better than I could have imagined.
In the sample script I've drawn (
Generation Killer) there was one panel in particular that gave me a bit of a nightmare. The description went something like:
QuoteCharacter A holds up Character B and electrocutes him using his powered gauntlets. In the background, characters C and D advance cautiously. Behind them all, Dredd bursts into the room, gun drawn.
I literally could not work out a way to get all of that information into a single panel - and the result was a disaster!

How much space did that give you - ? Whenever I draw from someone else's script I normally end up creating extra panels or squeezing down others. Although thankfully I've found the perfect way to get around the whole process is to not be good enough to be asked to draw anything. It works for me.

I think that was one of 7 or 8 panels(!) so not much!

QuoteSpeaking with my writer's hat on: writers are idiots. They have no clue how much information can be conveyed in a panel. As an artist, it's your job to fix the script! I haven't written a script that's been illustrated where the artist hasn't made some fundamental changes to what I described. Every single time, I've looked at what they've done and made a mental note that this is the reason why someone else is drawing the strip!

Too true!
I invariably have an extra panel or two in there that the artist will merge into one.
(This might be better advice for the writers thread but anyway) Remember that the artist is changing the script to make it better, not worse- don't be so fucking precious.
Fair point, Jim. But if I was going to submit a strip, surely it would not impress the editor if I started chopping and changing panels because I know better?
I just guessed they had chosen those sample scripts specifically because they've got a few nasty panels to put the artists to the test.

I wouldn't presume to know what Matt is looking for in a sample page, but I suspect that he's looking for a page that tells the story well. If that meant -- for example -- breaking the Dredd action into a separate panel, or an inset, then I can't imagine he'd bat an eyelid. It's not like you're deviating from the script by leaving stuff out because it's hard to draw, which definitely
is a no-no!
Not really the same thing, but I had to do a lettering test to get my first paying job and I really, really fretted over deviating from the script, but in the end, I think I twice broke a caption into two, moved a speech balloon into a different panel and added several unscripted sound effects. It improved the flow of the page and got me the job precisely because they
are paying me to know better!
Cheers
Jim

There is a thread for attempts at the sample scripts and I'm sure we'd all be happy to give you feedback/advice on what you've done (I'll go and take a sneaky peek at the story now). As I've said to you before I (and many others) would love to see some sequentials from you. I know you are concerned about speed but I bet Matt Timson could beat you in a "slowest artist" race, you just have to pick your projects carefully. Plus you'll get quicker with practice and your visual storytelling skills will improve too with time, so you won't worry so much about such panels (although I do suspect an above comment about this possibly being chosen as a test has some merit, in "Cycles of Violence" the last panel on the first page is very tricky to get right as you need to basically have Dredd firing up and left, which throws the flow across the page and could be something that separates the men form the boys).
If you can't take criticism, especially constructive, then don't put any work up for scrutiny. If you're collaborating with someone then you both want it to be as good as it can be.
So far, I've never had any criticism I've thought of as unfair or without basis. Sadly, and it's probably to do with my scripts, they tend to be things that suddenly seem dead obvious.
Quote from: Emperor on 12 May, 2010, 05:23:34 PMI'll go and take a sneaky peek at the story now
I went and did just that and it is funny when you see it - the description makes it sound like a big, mad, busy panel and John Higgins has drawn it pretty small and pretty simple, you'd pass right over it and not bat an eye lid (you'd certainly not think it was the kind of panel that would cause despair). I suspect you've overthought it.
I'll try and have a look at the script later to see what was so infuriating about it - I just remember that there were so many elements all together that made it difficult.
It was a year ago I drew it so I may approach it completely differently now.
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/Andersonportraitsmall.jpg)
Well that's extremely brilliant

I suspect you've overthought it.
Here's the description as it is in the script:
QuoteImal puts a hand on Peart's shoulder, there's a little electric discharge and Peart jerks as if stunned. In bg Dredd comes running into Maternity unit, gun drawn. Halfway between the two the two security men have stopped, in a quandary about what to do.
PEART: uHHhH!
DREDD: LET GO THAT CITIZEN, CREEP!
That
is quite a lot of info to get into a single small panel - Peart and Imal need to be dominant in the panel to clearly show what is happening (the electrocution), there are three other figures - Dredd's entry needs to be suitably dramatic, and there is also dialogue and sfx to consider.
If I were to draw the panel now, perhaps I would find it easier, but it was a year ago that I attempted it!
I didn't refer to Higgin's art at all as I wanted it to be completely my own take.
Quote from: radiator on 16 May, 2010, 06:12:23 PMI didn't refer to Higgin's art at all as I wanted it to be completely my own take.
Indeed, that is probably the best approach but if you get stuck it is worth a peek to see how Higgins conquered it. So, for example, he didn't do this: "Peart and Imal need to be dominant in the panel to clearly show what is happening" Peart is closest to the viewer but hard up against the left edge of the panel and all we see of Imal is his hand (because that is all that was needed - the reader can fill in the rest there). Also although the security men are closer than Dredd he has put them off to the right of the panel cringing, that leaves Dredd in the middle of the panel. Its a clever solution allows for a relatively small panel - there are a whole range of ways of drawing it but I suspect it is just practice and experience that help spot that you can simplify the panel a bit and not loose any of the information.
Any chance we can see your pages?

I did something similar in the end - I drew the panel from Imal's POV with just the hand visible. It makes me cringe a bit to look at it.

Those are great Cpt Rhodes. I wish I could paint as cool as that.
This is my first ever published comic book work. It's cover B to The Phantom: Ghost Who Walks #3 which was published last year sometime by Moonstone Books. Looking at it now I'd have drawn the lines differently. I'm also a lot better at colouring comics than I was back then.

Great stuff folks. Love the book production piece Ryan and the Captains painting is a joy to behold as ever. Aaargh-haargh!, I'll be so disappointed if it turns out you're not really a pirate Cap'n.
Cpt Rhodes true professionalism shines through but the others, particularly CrazyFoxmachine's dead cat are great too.

I have no idea how you do this and i wouldnt even bother explaining because i am a complete Luddite when it comes to comic art.

The non-digital, painted look is what I was hoping to achieve.
Glad to hear I'm heading in the right direction with it.

That's great colouring Matt. The depth you've brought out in his chin and neck is very well done. Mind you, that is a doozy of a chin Kev's come up with there.
Thanks guys, it was such a joy to do. And Kev's drawing a dredd strip for Zarjaz!

Just saying, but didn't Thor have a hammer? Maybe he thought it would be foolhardy to bring a hammer to an axe fight. I bet that's it. :D
That Sly Stallone caricature is fantastic Cap'n.
And Pugg's Yeti is class.
why does Thor have a hammer?

Indeed I do, wow, I just looked at this again, is there any way to get rid of a post, cos I think the edit timer is up.
If you remove the image from Photobucket or whatever site you uploaded it to it might kill the pic but I think the post stays. But why remove it? A bleeding eye isn't overly offensive.
I can remove it if you really want but I don't see the problem.
oh no, it wasn't because of the eye, I've just decided I don't really like it, I uploaded it as a quick thing because I wanted to upload this thing before I went out, but then that wasn't working so I'll do that another day, anyway I uploaded this and I don't like it, but don't worry about removing it, it's not that important. Thanks anyway.

ok..Bob from Twin Peaks emerges from the tardis dressed as Ted Rogers to be confronted by Dusty Bin gone mental dressed as a cop
if i've seen that once I've seen in a million times
I think you've interpreted that wrongly, Mr. Stress.
Dusty's obviously dressed as a postman.
I don't understand it either it's a bit like those picture/name puzzles in the The Independent newspaper. I'm hopeless at 'em but excellent work CrazyFoxMachine.
Uncle Fester you've really caught Halo Jones dead on. Great pencilling.
Mitahane and mygrimmbrother are racking and packing too! :D

hha-what a mad toy
great pic by the way
Love it! I had that toy when I was a kid. Freaking loved the Real Ghostbusters!
I thought he looked familiar. Those Real Ghostbuster toys were really cool. Still got a toilet ghost thing, (rather disturbing where it's tongue comes from), and an H2O ghost somewhere. My brother had/has some too.
Fester, that Halo Jones is wonderful!
I particularly like that you have managed to meld both your style and a bit of Ian Gibsons so well, Shows great respect to both character and artist IMHO.

Lovely style, Richdraws. Look forward to seeing that Dredd or Nem one (Dredd and Nemesis...now that would be cool!). :-D
Lovely stuff Rich, some really great faces there.
Thankyou Darren and Dylan.
I checked out your blog Dylan - I hadn't realised but I have been checking a lot over the past few months. Its been a good source of info, especially how you put together a page. Hoping practice will speed up my work and make easier to follow storytelling.
Its certainly very competent but its one of those instances where when i see something new for the first time i cant decide if i like it or not.I quite often get that with music that i havent heard before.
Thats not to detract from it as it was just my reaction to seeing it.
It looks like it has been inked with a brush so thats a big plus.
I really like that. Looks very late '80s / early '90s 2000ADish.

Makes me think of Steve Pugh's B&W work circa Hellblazer and Animal Man. For the record, this is a Very Good Thing.
Cheers!
Jim
Yes VERY Pugh - I love it - the dark areas are particularly impressive...AW HELL THE WHOLE THING IS AMAZING. Well done.
Cheers those for your comments on the Doctor/Mail Fraud Ghoul picture as well - I'm glad people were confused :P
Nice work Rich...the brush work gives it a nice life.
And now for something in my VERY different style, here's an upcoming WOD page for WASTED #5 this fall:(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/166/f/f/Wasted__War_on_Drugs_page_1_by_GibsonQuarter27.jpg)
Great stuff lads
Love that Catwoman strip- love the style - love the faces and details- top quality
Love the Catwoman story ('cos it is). Nice touch using the Laocoon statue as a centerpiece (warnings about the Trojan Horse go unheeded...).
That's really beautiful Rich! I am also an old fan of Steve Pugh and it does remind me of him in a good way but with enough of your own style.
GibsonQuarter - Great pencils. Love the flying bike thing!
I have actually finished a page of art! I hate it but at least it's done with.

http://staticgirl.deviantart.com
nice-what is it for?
There's a lot to commend in that page Staticgirl, though i fully understand the own work hate. :)
It's my own story that I publish on Deviantart. http://staticgirl.deviantart.com/gallery/#Empires (http://staticgirl.deviantart.com/gallery/#Empires) People can read it for free. As long as I have a full time job that I hate, at least I can paint in my free time and not worry about it being commercial.
I have been writing stories for these characters since I was a teenager so 20-odd years now. I have posted it online for a few years after I stopped being a completely awful artist. I am the slowest artist in the world however so only 40 something pages have been completed in 3 years! the story is deliberately derivative of my fave sci-fi so that I could just stop worrying about being original and get on with it - the end result gets put through my own personal filter anyway so people haven't told me it's that cliched. Maybe they don't read space opera....
I really like it when girls say they like it because you know how hard it is to get them into comics (other than manga perhaps) now. I have a pensioner correspondent who read the Eagle back in the day who likes it too which is cool.
The next story isn't going to be coloured, I can tell you.
That's some very nice work there Staticgirl. I'll add it to my ever growing list of "webcomics I intend to read", but the list is growing faster than I can get through them all!
Two very different pictures from two very different stages of my life of my favourite dead Irish weirdo, James Joyce.

Good idea, David.

Charlie Watts-Judge Mortis. :D

WOW! Very CyberPunky. Must have taken you a while to do CrazyFoxMachine. There appear to be more members in this band then either Earth, Wind and Fire or Arcade Fire. :)
Pizza Ninja is awesome.
CrazyFoxMachine - are you planning on doing something with Chrome Hoof (brilliant name by the way) or is it a one off?
I done coloured this in:
(http://www.mattnicholson.myby.co.uk/JD1.jpg)
To reiterate, I didn't actually draw it. The line art is by Shane Heron (http://prettygoodcomics.blogspot.com/) (see MarcusNinja's Commission thread), and I nicked the background image from a guy named knotlikeyou2 (http://knotlikeyou2.deviantart.com/) on DeviantArt. Both very nice pieces in their own right, in my opinion.
I'm still at least some kind of minor deity of colouring things in, though...
Thats a nice, bold colour job. Not a bad Dredd too.
My only advice would to have a little less shadow on Dredd's chin, looks a bit like a goaty! :)
You had the vision to put it all together Noisybast and it looks very good. These three seperate elements look like they belong together despite being done by different artists.
If you want Dredd to blend slightly more with the background the old Matte Painter trick was to take the colour in the background and mix it with the colours in the forground. You could lightly dust with the blue/green colour the back of Dredd's helmet, shoulder pad, Eagle, arm etc but only if you want this effect.
If you want Dredd standing boldly in the foreground then you've done enough. You could try putting a Nightstick or gun in his hands but if colourings you're thing then say Nyet [no in Russian] to that suggestion. :)

(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg86/ToadyCat/JD1Colouring-DreddNoisybast.jpg)
As you can see I've gently painted some of the background colour the blue/green grey into
Dredd's visor, shoulder Pad etc and elimanated the black, horizontal box lifting
Dredd fully into the foreground.
This is a fairly common technique often used by Painters. It's not just used by Matte Painters who often use the colour of the sky to fade off the background elements. This is called atmospheric perspective objects in the distance tend to get bluer and greyer and have less contrast.
So if you want to add a little subtlety to your comic strip colouring then add a little halo of the background colour. We're helped here by the fact the blue/grey background contrast well with the yellow orange of the Shoulder pad and Red of
Dredd's Helmet. Yellow/ orange/red tend to work well with blue/ green which is their complimentary colour opposite.
Hope this helps somewhat

Rabbits don't grow on your fanny.
Outstanding staticgirl!
Nice pics Staticgirl. ;) (makes a change from zombies and robots!)
Rabbits: Non-native, introduced to British Isles by the Normans (some say the Romans). Smaller, shorter ears and hind legs, nest underground, social animals, eat soft stems/grass/veg, born very immature.
Hares: Native to Britain and Ireland. Larger, longer ears and hind legs, coats change colour seasonally, nest and live above ground, solitary animals, eat twiggy vegetation, shoots etc. born fully furred and mobile.
They both eat their own poo, though. I'm sure House of Usher can elaborate.
There are a LOT more Rabbits around than Hares and i have only seen a Hare once years ago in the Castle Howard estate and that was 20 years ago so they must be very scarce.

Hares prefer unimproved ground with plenty of cover, rabbits are happy enough with parks, lawns and golf courses. Guess which species is in decline. We have two species of hare in Ireland, our native Irish, and the introduced Brown or European hare. Does Britain still have an introduced as well as a native strain? (I only know this stuff because they're useful archaeological dating markers: rabbit bones = 12th C or later; Brown hare = 19th C or later).
Seems to be quite a few around here. Saw two while out for a walk a couple of days ago, both in fields next to woodland.

I see a lot of hares from the train when I'm travelling through Sth Lincs. There are parts of the county where local by-laws have been enacted to make it illegal to go lamping and hare populations have increased greatly. Which is a good thing because they are wonderful.
I drew a rabbit because my cousin's little boy hasn't seen one near him in Kent and the picture I used as rabbit ref was bigger in his I-spy book. :)

I like and especially the detailed areas inbetween the flat plain surfaces that the figure is standing on.Those were what my eye was drawn to when i first looked at this piece.I like the cloud effects well.
There is a bit too much blacked out area around the crotch area of the character where it looks like there should be a bit more light.Sorry to niggle and i am learning how to ink myself which is ongoing.

There's something fundamentally bloody-minded about the fact that I'm a letterer -- something that's quite hard to explain to non-comic fans when they ask what you do for a living -- who's looking to branch out into inking, probably the only role in the comic creation process that's
harder to explain to non-comic fans than bloody lettering.
Don't get me wrong -- I loves me some lettering action, but it never hurts to have an extra thingie to your whatnot.

Lovely dark inks on both the Doctor and Boba Fett. The detail on Matt Smith's jacket reminds me of Brian Bollands rendering style.
That's great stuff Jim- mind-bogglingly precise. If only I could ink with a mere fraction of that exactitude!

Guy from the "god of drawing"thread take note...

great work!
Indeed. I'm getting a Brendan McCarthy feel off the inks, which is just fantastic.
Cheers!

Well I look towards Ezquerra whenever I think Dredd. But I grew up looking at Jim Lee. Currently I look at Paul pope, Sean Phillips and Ashley wood.

Apologies Brett.

If they do I am gonna have a hard time explaining the cameras in their studios - nevermind the ones in their showers.
almost ashamed to add this after Richdraw's fantastic Dredd imagery - but this one owes quite a bit to the astounding Kevin O'Neill Wonders of the Galaxy back-cover pin up thingies that I used to spend hours staring at -

i love this
amazingness.... Coo!
Great pic, CrazyFoxMachine. ;) Sort of picture that makes you think about the story behind the image.
Blimey old Reilly, that's a bit good that Rich.
And I love that "spaceman hoovering giant skull" piece CFM, vere nice.
Cheers everyone - I hoped it would be more clear it's an archaeologist in space but that IS ONE TINY TROWEL
Thats great CFM :)
This is my latest homebrew label. I've done three other 2000AD brews and they will all have 2000AD names for a while now I think. It gives me an excuse to draw and have some fun.
I used one of Mikey's photos in the 3A thread as a reference and I'm quite happy with this. I may adapt it for other uses too.

LUNA-DREDD!
(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/230/0/4/Luna_Dredd_by_TomBerryArtist.jpg)
Thaats impressive that could come straight from an animated cartoon! Love that style and colours.
Yeah that is cool, great design and would be a great look for an animated series. Have you ever thought of going into animation radiator? (Forgive me if it is something you already are in or have background in!)
Cheers.
Would be cool to see some of my drawings animated, but the actual animation side of things has never appealed - I'm only really interested in still images.
Radiator does it again! Superb.
That is an awesome Dredd - and Luna City, too. Not seen a lot.
Radiator you've got to give us a proper strip some day - the sample script you posted was great and I'd love to see more.
Thanks. I've coloured 3 and a half of those 6 sample pages now - I'll post the lot when they're done. I'm also doing something for the small press soon.... something with 7 robots in it... but that won't see the light of day for a loooong while yet.... I've been experimenting with ziptone-type effects so that will probably feature heavily.
Should say that the Luna Dredd is one of the first things I've done since I got over my fear of brush inking - nearly all of it was done with a brush which I'm very pleased about.

I created enough BG to allow for different orientation - not sure which looks better...
(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/231/e/e/ee256bcc27884b1fb469416c3024a656.jpg)
Brilliant stuff!
Love it, but Boy! that's a workflow.
Lovely stuff, radiator, but a six-stage process before you even get to colouring? Damn... :o
I don't think my work process is too unusual from what I've read and observed about other artists and it saves time in the long run.
If I was working on a big project like a strip I'd get into more of a flow and could lose a couple of the stages, but as I only get to draw occasionally the prepping cuts out a lot of the frustration of working and I don't need to spend hours wrestling with a drawing and waste time rubbing things out/redrawing things/tearing the whole thing up out of frustration.
I'll probably go all digital at some point anyway.
Whatever the method radiator it's working! Grand stuff indeed. :)
Radiator, that is insanely fun! REally like the flat coloured version for some reason!
(http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n68/DobeyKweeg/Zombie.jpg)
BOO!
For some reason, I find Zombies hard to draw - this is as good as Ive got after a few, and even this is more worked up sketch than anything!
Any idea how to make it look like its caught in fiery torchlight without him disappearing into the darkness or looking jolly and yellow? Cant quite get the lighting right.
QuoteAny idea how to make it look like its caught in fiery torchlight without him disappearing into the darkness or looking jolly and yellow? Cant quite get the lighting right.

I always liked that Anderson hairstyle best.

.....and as for hairstyles - I guess its falling somewhere between Brett Ewins and Steve Dillon (City of the Damned).

Please sir, can I have some more?

Cheers for that,i'm going to have a squiz,bookmarked in art folder ;) and glad you liked my Dredd,Dillion was and still is one of my fave Dredd artist.
Very good! I like that take on the lawgiver too. The thought occurred to me that it look kind of 'steam-punk' but that's not quite right. 'Industrial' would be a better term. Makes it look rather nasty and vicious, if that makes sense.
I'm really pleased with how this one turned out.... and I learned some improved Photoshop colouring methods in the process.
Sorry its not 2000ad related - I just wanted to draw the "S" !
Hope you like it.

Cheers pal,i was going for a sorta ray-gun/desert eagle route for the lawgiver but it went a bit west,like the leg :-[,needs tidying up on t'pooter.
DanboJohnJ that's a nice Dredd (here it is ;)) but the pistol grip is all wrong. All the fingers would be touching each other around the pistol grip to give a tight hold and the thumb would not be bent like that!
I can see everyone doing a pistol grip now!
Thats my fault for not using a reference photo.I was miffed about his little finger just couldn't arsed sorting it out yet mostly because i goosed the legs up.

Hi fellow creative types.
Just thought I'd post my most recent effort of old Stoney Face himself.
Any observations most welcome.
Art was hand pencilled, then painted using brush and ink, scanned then coloured in photoshop.

I didn't really add them so much as cover them up a bit! I expanded on a character drawing from a panel of an (as yet) unfinished (but I'm trying..) Lubatek strip.
The panel features a little bit more of the character (not Supergirl in this incarnation though) along with 4 other characters - panel attached below for 'interest'.

Women are hard to draw i think but you've cracked it.Extra points for the bewbs.
Really great pics Simon....nice....lines! :lol: Like the Dredd, Micheal31. One thing that stands out as being a little off is the helmet. Its a little mishapped. Otherwise, its a corker.

This might be of interest to some - a reworking of a recent competition entry.
I have altered it to incorporate a modern interpretation of Dredd over the 'Early Cases' approach I took on the original....not a huge difference I know.

Nice art, Filip.
And CrazyFoxMachine, I really like your Cliche Parade. I was trying to think who's art yours reminded me of and then I hit on it. The style definetly reminds me of Frank Quitely's art on 'All Star Superman' and 'Batman and Robin'.
It's really good. I look forward to seeing more.

There's definetly something in the style of your art. I think as you evolve as an artist we're going to see something really special.
Your 'cliche' cosmonaut and robot are definetly the best of the bunch. Maybe you could stand to improve your humans? The superhero is good but still doesn't look quite right. That said, your dwarf and elf are slightly better.
I do like the face pic of Dredd in your gallery.
Keep up the good work.

Hi. Just wanted to see how this Manga colouring reproduced on the web and this site.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs406.snc4/46880_422914892601_591547601_4950888_6891818_n.jpg)
looks good to me Krombasher! The reflection especially. All in all a very atmospheric piece.
Using pattern brush to ink my art comp entry is proving a bit of the reverse though. I've used pattern brush, in the same way as a self-made photoshop brush to ink and colour this. You're right, to me there are no problems, but I don't have a very good screen.
You see, the tones come through with pattern brush and it shows on my recent art comp attempt. I don't know what I'm doing different.
Here's my attempt to colour a rather *ahem* interesting take on Judge Anderson. The original belongs to R.Kinnaird and can be found on DA.
(http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/4130/judgeandersonryankinnai.jpg)
I deliberately didn't go over the top with regards to eye blistering colour.
By the way, colouring with a mouse is a massive pain in the ass. I'm thinking about getting a graphics tablet but I don't have a lot to spend (birthday coming up otherwise it would be nothing at all). Any suggestions in the £150 region?
Yes, interesting indeed...
You might want a bit more shading on things like the pouches as the colour is a little too flat. I also prefer a more toned down blue.
On the graphics tablet see:
http://www.2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,27294.0.html
Cheers for that link Emperor.
And yeah I'm having trouble with the colours looking flat. I don't seem able to pick out proper highlights and shadows. Still, practice makes perfect.
Chil - the drawing itself gives ye a lot of hints on what to highlight on the suit - and I think you've highlighted the right things, you've just been far too subtle - as an experiment take it away and just give it hell - max up that burn tool - adjust that ol' contrast - you don't necessarily have to show us but do experiment with it
FYI - I got a graphics tablet for like, 40 quid that works just great ;)
After my attempts at Supergirl earlier in the thread, I thought I would try my hand at Superman.
A whole lot tougher to draw than Supergirl. And a whole lot tougher than Dredd for that matter due to the sheer amount of anatomy on show - no convenient body armour.
My respect for Superman artists has been cemented.
Hope you like it.
Regards,
Simon
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/Simonipenter/Superman.jpg)
Nice work Simon, excellent inking.
I'm lucky with anatomy drawing in so much that I can just do a self portrait.

Exilewood I love that - ! I REALLY BLOODY LOVE THAT.
Jim - very Staz Johnsonesque and very very very good. The painted version makes me praise lord Boo on high. You are brave.
Thank you Crazy Fox - I'm ready & willing to help on Dr Who thing.
Bloody LOVE Dr Who!
Dredd again,can't be arsed, to draw anything else latley pumped for the film i guess...might try a Rouge Trooper next...

Saw the inks over on DW. Very nice Jim.
The work you've been putting into your inking is really paying off Jim. That's fucking class.
Its faultless....not jealous much honestly :-[
Thanks for all the kind words, folks. Definitely making some headway with this...
Big thumbs up to StaticGirl, Danbo, pops and exilewood... there's some good stuff on this thread!
Cheers

A couple if images from a work in progress

Gorgeous stuff there, Cpt. Rhodes. Whats this for?
Cheers Jim, but to be fair seeing some of the stuff here rather overshadows my enthusiastic amateurish attempts. Any tips or advice from you talented people would be much appreciated
Vampire Vixens look hot. I see you had to get the Dad's Army map behind old Winston, Captain. Cool stuff.
That inking is looking highly accomplished Jim. I could see that style working with Gibson Quarter's art.

That looks very good but i didnt realise you inked professionally as you said yourself that you were in the process of learning to ink.You certainly kept that quiet.

Having said that even if you are inking professionally you never stop learning anyway.

Much as we'd like it to be otherwise, Fractal isn't a professional gig. GQ generously pitched in (as do all of our guest artists) and in this case, he was able to step in at very short notice and supply us with a page of fantastic pencils, which I inked and our own MyGrimmBrother coloured.
As I've said on my dA page, I nearly stepped up to do some deadline-relief inks on a title I was lettering for, but otherwise I'm trying to get good, after which I'll try to get fast, and then I'll see if anyone wants to give me some paying work!
I've been very impressed with the brush work that you've shared, PW, so your kind words are much appreciated. :-)

Haven't been paying much attention to this thread, but that's a lovely Wonder Woman, Simon.
Cheers Chris - appreciate it. I will post the colour version when I get a chance to finish it!
I will be working on some of the details of this picture a little more - but as the character is largely finished I thought I might as well post it as is.

Chili Man! That is fan-f'kin-tastic! What's it for?
Wow indeed that is fan-chuffin'-tastic
Sorry, I typed out the creds but they seem to have gotten lost in translation. I got the original inks from Tony Moore's website. I'm just colouring them (just in case people thought I had a snowball's chance in hell of drawing at that standard).
Ohhh, I see. Great colouring job mate.
I should have spotted the sig in the corner. Doh.
Big Tony Moore fan. Great colours, Chilipenguin! ;)

And chillpenguin, that's awesome, keep the lightning
A lot of arsome art there peeps ,keep up the good work all.

Very nice, Grimm. I particularly like the Hurley piece.
Pops: I've tried to draw Spidey doing the web thwip right at the reader and failed miserably. Yours looks good.
I think I'm pretty much done with this now. Tweaked some of the lighting and added a color hold to the beam. First time I've added a hold to anything and I'm not happy with it. There is still some black in there that I can't seem to get rid of. Anyone have any decent tutorials on using holds in Photoshop?
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/chilipenguin/fearagentwip-2.jpg)
This thread makes me feel more inadequate than normal. I can't draw for toffee.

I know what you mean, but I persevere anyway, hopefully I'll get some toffee soon (even though I prefer fudge)
I don't even know what a hold is?
As best I can tell, it's when you colour the black lineart itself. So in this case, I've coloured the ray gun's beam a kind of greeny-yellow and coloured the black lines containing it to match.
It's usually done to make the foreground elements pop. So if you had a city scene with a epic battle in the foreground, you might want to blend the buildings in the backgrounds a bit to bring out the characters a bit more.
Saying all that, I'm probably wrong or missing some important piece of info in that regard.
Quote from: chilipenguin on 21 September, 2010, 12:09:58 AM
Anyone have any decent tutorials on using holds in Photoshop?
Create a new Normal Layer called Holds. Load the lineart as a selection (CTRL or CMD-click the layer thumbnail for your lineart layer, or activate the channel if you're using a channel to protect the lineart). Put it to the Holds layer at the top of the stack. Pick your hold colour and paint over the bits of the lineart you want to change.
(If you're not getting a clean selection of your lineart, then it's probably anti-aliased. For colouring you do NOT want soft edges to your linework. Photoshop has conditioned people to think that jagged edges on linework is bad, but being able to see the jaggies when you zoom in to 600% is immaterial to how the art will print.)
Cheers!
Jim
Is there nothing you don't know Jim? :D
That's pretty much what I did and you're right, I can't see the jaggies in a web version but there is a block of black in the line hold that I can't get rid of for some reason.
Thanks for the info both of you - must try that sometime.
Quote from: chilipenguin on 21 September, 2010, 01:55:32 PM
Is there nothing you don't know Jim?
Colouring is on my list once I get done with inking. I started to grapple with colouring first, because the nuts and bolts of its mechanics mesh very well with my background in print production, but I found trying to grasp two disciplines at once meant that I was effectively doing neither, so I stuck colouring on the back-burner while I had a bash at raising my inking game.
Although I don't care for the finished style their technique seems to create, the Hi Fi Digitial Color (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hi-Fi-Color-Comics-Techniques-Professional/dp/1581809921/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1285076085&sr=1-1) book is totally worth it, if only for the sections on prepping and flatting.
As I've mentioned before, the gold standard for colouring advice on the web is gutterzombie (http://www.dave-co.com/gutterzombie/) where you'll find the likes of Dave McCaig, Laura Martin (recently described by Todd Klein as the best colourist in comics) and John Rauch, plus many, many other pro colourists. Putting work up for crit there is a bit nerve-wracking but always worth it.
Cheers!
Jim
Cheers Jim. I've signed up to gutterzombie but haven't posted anything there yet. I don't understand half of what people are saying so that's a bad sign from the start. Need to man up and go for it I guess.

Hah, wow. That pic has everything I love! I vote it awesome! :D
Hedmark wow.

Dave, That's just brilliant. Even the concept. Roller Babes in Hell would be the ultimate cheese movie but i'd pay to see it.
Dave that rocks! A mate of mine is well into Roller Derby (and his girlfriend is on a team, so allegedly it's not just a stare-at-girls-in-hot-pants thing). Do you mind if a send a link of this to him?

I am in far too much of a bad mood to heap praise on anyone but what i will say is that i am seriously impressed by your work.
That is good. What's going on with the girl at the back/top/right? Does she have some kind of Elongated Man/Mr Fantastic stretchy power?
Dave, that fucking rocks mate.
Well, pretty much impossible to follow 'roller derby girls versus a demon in hell' really.....very nice work Dave!
Here is a work-in-progress inks for another superhero pin-up (I'm working on set of these).
This time around it's the turn of 'All Star' Batgirl. Colour and (limited)background to follow.

WW2 comics aren't the in thing anymore but I felt we could do something special with this.
I used to love the 70's comics and strips like Warlord, Battle picture weekly, Major Eazy and Hellman of Hammer Force
Hopefully this will be new take on WW2 with it's tounge firmly in it's cheek.
Yeah Mr R that kicks a huge amount o bum - !
That 'Vampire Vixens' looks right up my street. Im well into, erm.....history. Yeh, thats it. Nothing to do with sexy ladies. No sir. :D
I consider myself a bit of a WWII buff too Darren, so as long as this is historically accurate (which I'm sure it will be), we can all rest easy.
Cpn, its a work of beauty. Realism on the right side of comic art.
Please tell me you toiled for days over that British flag for it is the most fantastically rendered piece of fabric in comics today. And just look how that nasty vampire Nazi is taunting us, getting blood all over our Union Jack. Stop it! Stop it, you filthy Nazi vamp. At once! No! No, I'm not staring at your ass! I don't care about your ass! Really, get your filthy fascist claws off our sovereign tunic.

As a history buff myself I have yet to see anything that I don't believe to be 100% accurate and based on actual historical records. Actually there is a slogan in there somewhere: "100% historically accurate. Possibly" ;)

Pops, If you have Photoshop, to improve the blacks you could try this: Duplicate your layer, change the duped layer from normal to Overlay then play about with levels/brightness/saturation to suit. The process should give you a strong contrasty image.
More haphazard but potentially usefull is to use the magic wand to marquee those blacks.
Copy and paste them into a new layer then adjust their brightness/contrast.
Hope it's a help.
You just need to use levels if your in Photoshop. Ctr L will get you there.
Mitahane - I like the second one especially
Hey guys here's a page of a horror comic I'm working on. Can any one give me a tip on how to drop shadows off of the cabinet handles in panel five? light source is the lamp at the top right edge of the panel.

if you're using photoshop you can select a specific area and then fill it in black with the polygonal lasso tool - or even just the lasso one.
Dave, what Crazy Fox said.
Excellent page. Very clean art.

if you're using photoshop you can select a specific area and then fill it in black with the polygonal lasso tool - or even just the lasso one.
Do this on a separate multiply layer and flatten down when happy. Do not use the magic wand to make selections unless your lineart is 1-bit (bitmap -- no smoothed edges) and you have anti-aliasing turned OFF on the wand.

Thanks guys. I think I was pretty vauge in my question. Does any one know how to get the right shape and length for the shadow in perspective cast correctly. as I inked this in illust studio putting a shadow is no problem its putting a shadow correctly that I'm having difficulty with.

In my humble opinion I don't think the shadow is necessary and personally I'd be worried, (and that's only If I was doing it) that the shadow might actually make the handles hard to read as handles. The viewpoint is almost in exactly the same postion as the light which would render the shadows as negligible.
Ah Thank you. I think your right maybe a subtle black lining on the handle edges that are away from the light. Thanks again. :D

massive yes. I want this tattooed on my face.
I'm sure DarkJimbo could help you on that front, CF. :lol:
And great stuff radiator, loving how solid you made my lil sketchlet look. I don't mind you posting it at all, in fact if you hadn't I would have insisted you did.

Is that a cock/man/sword?
Once again, I love your style.

Stop. Owltime and Tentacleboy.
Ha-ha-ha-haaaa! I love those owls man, they're superb.
You've got a good style going in your art Crazy Fox Machine.
It's nicely done and always suprises me.
Kerrin, Dom, Nev & Mr R, cheers a ton :)
Yeah, I love the impish nature of your art too. Tentacle Boy looks really good. Your mysterious character is good too, but not quite perfect. I can't help but feel the legs/feet of some of your characters look slightly off. I could be wrong. Still, everything else looks great. You're certainly not too far away from perfection.

I wasn't entirely sure the winner recognised her. Ho hum.
I like that Staticgirl - Nice variation on the ankh pendant making it a scarf design.
And the Tottoro umbrella is cool too.
I figured Totoro would be right up her alley. :)

I love this. I absolutely love this. Is there a story that goes with it or is it just something random you came up with. If there isn't a story, there should be!!! Let me write one for it that you can draw!!!
Van - there's no story - it's a set of characters created by a dude and riffed on by some other dudes

hello..
I've been going all retro and cutting up my old comix to use as collage material for my paintings. Maybe I'm using good artwork to cover up my average work, but I've been looking at a whole bunch of 70's and 80's comics and think there was a real sociological reason for the types of stories that sold.
Anyways, presenting the work I've just finished today.
2000ad:Jobcentre
Any good comments, I may start complete thread on this...
...as long as you're correctly citing this. There was a big load of balls about this collage artist ripping off 2000ad stuff without crediting the original artists...
OK, I can see that would be an issue. I've left Dave Gibbons name on the poster, as he was the man that did the work originally, I'm creatively extending its narrative, by using a backdrop as a context for it be viewed in. And I've cut it up in a manner that I felt appropriate, so there.
Maybe I shoud get in touch with Dave Gibbons - I'd like his thoughts..but how...
QuoteI'm creatively extending its narrative, by using a backdrop as a context for it be viewed in
Oh, is that what you're doing with it?
New poster design done in photoshop as a result of the Inspirational Images thread.

Nice work everyone!
Here is yet another DC piece (its a running theme ) - Evil Supergirl!

Chilli: I love the imaginary, typography and colours though I think she needs to be come more into the foreground just a tad (60% transparency of that cover mask).
Shes far too bootiful not to be :)
Radiator: Shes far too underpowered ! :) Nice tones and art tho !
Simon Penter: She is gorgeous, nice inks :)
soulboyluis: Sorry dont mean to offend but Dave Gibbons art was tiptop as it was!
Fantastic stuff from everyone. Crazy Fox, you are admirably demented sir. I salute you.

Exsssellent.
Made a few tweaks...
@Judge Gumpty - Cheers. I agree about the model but I was having trouble getting all the levels and layer effects to mesh in a way that kept a suitably gothic look. Think I've got it now plus I tweaked some some of the text. Pretty happy with the result though I can't quite get her hair to blend properly.
@Radiator - Digging the ridiculous firepower.
@Simon - Awesome Supergirl.

Character design for the aforementioned comic strip....

Oh that's looking very tasty - can't wait to see the ABC Warriors special (and not just because I'm in it ;) ).
Quotecan't wait to see the ABC Warriors special (and not just because I'm in it
I don't think it's for the ABCs special - all I know is my strip isn't scheduled for print until mid to late 2011... Maybe someone in the know can confirm...?

Well... the ABC Warrior special might count as mid-2011 ish, OK more mid-early-2011 - deadline is February 28th to go live March 2011. So it might be you are in the following Zarjaz?
Yeah that sounds about right. Probably for the best - my heart rate raised slightly at the thought that my strip would be (sort of) competing against loads of other artist's interpretations of the ABCs!

From what I've seen so far, the art is going to be pretty impressive but nothing you've posted above suggests your work wouldn't fit right in perfectly.

Wow Mark, those look fantastic.
Do you have a deviant art page or anywhere you display your drawings? I'd love to see some more.
Wow! That octopus fellow is really cool - is that a character design for a strip? Like your stuff, man.
Thanks for the comments guys!
Yeah, the SD's and the Octo guy are designs for a forthcoming Dogbreath story.
Pauul, heres the link to my Blog http://markchilly.blogspot.com/
Cheers!
I REAAAAALLY like your art mr Chilly.
A poster for a pub, to advertise the pool table.
I may have downplayed the pool element a bit too much...

ARSOM TO THE MAX
Excellent Woolly. I'd be smirking all the way through my first game at that and beyond! A tasteful edge of machismo.
And I agree on the SD/Dogbreath, designs Chilly, Octo dude especially.
The Mighty Cue and Devil Babe.
Great stuff Woolly.
'Kin hell Woolly! I hope they've sorted you out for that man.
Mr Wool, that is totally ARSOM!
Here's my secret project entry, only made the dvd because I missed the deadline.

Outstanding as always, Woolly. Haven't looked at this thread for a while but there's some arsom stuff - Mark, Pops et all, keep up the good work, eh.
New reply been posted while I was typing - F'ckin' ace, Mark! You've managed to somehow use Ezquerra's style while simultaneously using a completely different one of your own - paradoxtastic.
Jaysus I feel silly putting this up after Woolly's amazing poolstuff and... well - THAT THING. STOP BEING SO BLOODY BRILLIANT MARK.

UH OH. DUCKTIME.
Since this is the art thread, I thought I'd direct you to this:
http://mcgillowaygallery.com/BridgetMurrayExhib.aspx (http://mcgillowaygallery.com/BridgetMurrayExhib.aspx)
This is my mother's work, I was at the exhibition opening last night (art openings are always good for free booze by the way ;) )
It's mostly scenes of our hometown Derry from back when she was growing up.
With regards to comic art, my mother loves it. She appreciates the skill in everything from the consistent figure drawing to the story telling aspects. She's always asked to have a look through mine, (even though she never read them, she's only ever been interested in the pictures). She adored the art in The Grievous Journey of Ichabod Azrael and the Trail of the Dead Left in his Wake.
My last attempt at Supergirl (sorry if you are getting sick of her.....have mercy, I have a 6 year old daughter!). This is possibly my last bit of drawing until next year as the next round of dreaded accountancy exams have now kicked in (oh joy)!
Anyway, hope you like it.
Cheers
Simon

Yeah....always get carried away on the hair.....who needs backgrounds eh?
It did take a while to be honest as I did it in pen first and the pen was so bad I had to re-ink the whole lot again in Photoshop.
Still, it's a labour of love I suppose!
Cheers.

Dunno if that'll show...
Its a work in progress - number 15 in a series of 15 beasties i want to get done. Needs a bit more work!
Sweet!
Simon Penter - flee accountancy, i love your stuff.
Leight Shepherd - Great work, seriously scary face.
Simon - great picture. There's an attitude that comes out in the eyes that's very hard to achieve. Excellent - do us an Anderson!
Chilly - that Jack is evil, man. Evil like Howlin' Wolf singing Evil, feeling particularly evil. Dead on it.
I bloody love that Leigh. THE FACE IS DRIVING ME MAD.
Thanks Dunk.....I would dearly love to flee it but it's about the only thing I can find that will cover my bills! I continue to live in hope that one day I will escape.
Thanks exilewood - there is an Anderson a few pages earlier on in this threa (and on my website - see link below. But I'm not that happy with it....I will definitely try to do a better update at some point.
Thanks guys - great stuff on this thread, as always.
Some really excellent work popping up here in recent weeks.
It's a joy to behold.
Love it. Absolutely love it. The detail in the hair must have been a chore but the time spent has paid off in spades.

Cheers for the kind comments all - the lighting on mnticore is a step up from this first attempt (number 5 of a series of 15 - still not finished!)
(http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n68/DobeyKweeg/trollwip.jpg)
I find my main problem (beyond the technical difficulties of drawing/colouring etc!) is not gadflyig about and leaving one thing unfinished to start another. ive drawn all 15 of my series of 15, but rather than methodically work me way through em, i find myself picking at them randomly! I've even gone as far as drawing a 16th in the series sof 15 rather than bloody finishing one!
The good thing about small press is that you have to finish (or near as dammit!) the things for the sake of others waiting on you. I can motivate meself to draw a lot, but when theres no deadline, I find it hard to focus!
Any tips out there?
Simon -forgot to say - really liking the hair in that Supergirl - puts me in mind of russ Nicholson for some reason - I always loved that stylised, but "realistic" thing he had going on.
Leigh - great bleedin' imp. I always find making a big list of all the stuff you have (or want) to draw helps. Y'know - you move through it in a categorical fashion and your desire to do a task further down the list motivates you to do everything before that if that makes sense. Now relax and enjoy a big screaming amp.

This is my favourite thing. You've never even seen my amp, yet you've nailed it.
Just finished a great gig in Soho about three hours ago - that's just what I needed to see!
This is a small portion of work in progress poster image I've got on just now. Still got a bit of detailing to do on the hair and the lower half of the pic is still very rough.
I keep all my reference work on the board to keep me right as i'm going along and in some cases I can diectly colour pick for accuracy but then that tends to change depending on how the scene's lighting affects it.
Hope you like it so far.

Cheers guys.
Between the day job and family duties I'm only turning in a fully painted page of comic art a month. Fine for a quarterly mag like Wasted but not much use otherwise.
Vixens is creator owned too and I'm having a lot of fun doing it at my own pace.

And what fine collection of reference images they are - who knew they could work together so well. It should also be an example of how to use them and in the other corner... Greg Land.

Of course, it could be a cover for starters - Siku made a recentish return with a cover. It might be a slow page rate but boy it is worth it for the finished product. We know you can draw a lovely lady ;) but you can turn on the dark and moody horror vibe too*, so I'd love see you on something like a Defoe cover. You have also shown a Dredd one could be a stunner and somewhere in the back of my head a little voice whispers
Dirty Frank. Or Devlin Waugh. I'll stop now.
* And when the two combine... oh boy :o

PhotoBucket are big girl's blouses (I know Doc Roberta has had constant trouble with them). I've updated the image with the one from the blog.
Oh that's just lovely! It's great pinup art and I like how you've shown how you put it together. You would be better for a cover than many of the people Thargy uses, good though they are.
(Did you need the boobs photo ref that much?) :lol:
In my defence, the boobs shot was for the shape of the dress round the cleavage and not for the cleavage itself which I already had in place. You can see in the main pic how I merged that shape with the collar of the uniform coat.
I'm not a perv, honest. Ask my therapist.
You should post that pic on the underware thread so we can all see what you mean in detail
Fantastic work in progress, Cpt Rhodes! :o

Great stuff, makes me want to buy Wasted, is there a full story of this or is it purely a promo? (only a pedant would point out the armband thing ::))
Proudhuff, It starts as an ongoing 4 page strip in Wasted from issue 7 onwards. (which will be February) and from what I hear It's looking possible that the the strip will be printed in full colour.
Apart from the cover art for isssue 7 and the strip itself I'm working on these individual poster images of all the Vixens to help promote it at marts and shows etc.
The strip is co written by me and none other than the board's Emperor himself.

Huzzah! I'll start buying it then, i currently find Wasted's 'joint behind the swearyword bikeshed' humour a wee bit redundent, but as an auld git with teenage sons I'm (hopefully) not the target audience
BAN THIS FILTH! >:(
I of course will purchase this 'mugger-zine'-so I can then form a mob of the righteous and stone the perpetrators to death!
Truly great cover Cpt Rhodes and I assume the same brilliance from Gibson Quarter amongst others.

far from it, I've bought it a couple o' times and I just find it a bit like two 12 year olds who think they are 'dissing the man' by swearimg, smoking and playing their tinnie-phone tunes at the back of the bus. Just not my scene maaannnnn :D
This is a bit of a departure from the norm for Wasted. I'm lucky the chose to give it a go.
And i'm an auld git with teenage daughters so hopefully this will be something that might fill the gap.
arsom
love the pipe smoking guy too

Proudhuff, It starts as an ongoing 4 page strip in Wasted from issue 7 onwards. (which will be February) and from what I hear It's looking possible that the the strip will be printed in full colour.
Apart from the cover art for isssue 7 and the strip itself I'm working on these individual poster images of all the Vixens to help promote it at marts and shows etc.
The strip is co written by me and none other than the board's Emperor himself.
And lettered by "Gentleman" Jim Campbell.
Keep your fingers crossed for those colour pages folks as the art is stunning - it reduced Jim to one word replies: "yowzer" (page 3) and "woof" (page 4).

not sure why they are killing judges???
He's back..

Excellent work Conceptboy. Twin, female Judge killers in shades and red jumpsuits, deadly and cool. I like the backround art too, scratched and bloody. It's got a punk album cover look to it.
Markchilly, Did someone mention that this is a SD agent? Sorry I'm a bit out of touch with the stories of late. The slight angle you've tilted him at works wonders and your line work is very strong.
Loving the texture on the bomb there, Cpt Rhodes.
That inking style is chunky but detailed, Chilly - thats a good combo to pull off.
MarkChilly - that would make perfect Toothy cover! I'd like to see it coloured :)
The stuff on this thread is just too good.
Radiator - love that little dude with the pipe.
Cpt Rhodes - The Vampire Vixen riding the bomb belongs on the cover of 2000ad. Now.
Conceptboy - The Judge Killers should be turned into a strip and published in Zarjaz. Love the grainy backgrounds. It's an image bursting with possibilities.
Markchilly - that SD guy is getting more and more impressive with each drawing you post. Love the texture and detail of the skin.
Keep em coming guys.
Comic page for fun of my guy i've been doing for years.I know his helmet looks a bit like a a Judge hunter from the movie but it was a totally unintentional subconsious doodle.I was gutted when i saw the film years later,anyway...oh last 3 or so small panels are crap,always fall at the last hurdle...

Its the creature feature from Mitahane and Bhuna and a truly horrible Halloween show from Crazy Fox Machine.
Love the Armour design from DanboJohnJ and Chris askham character is looking ready for action.

Nice work... my only comment would be to put a floor/base/ground for the two characters to sit on... i think that will help frame the illustration and give greater impact to the nice background.

Alot of really good art on this 'ere thread.

That Bats is fu*king ammazing.if your not a pro you should be.
You have excelled yourself Mr Hedmark.
Great stuff Mr Hemark, and I don't even like Batman...
Fantastic Batman there.
Ha ha ha I like the Scrote checking his iphone blissfully unaware.....
Dave, that's class mate. You have shown your stuff to Tharg haven't you?
Really well drawn, just like with all your art.
Thanks guys. over the past month I've been studying Bridgman for an hour every day. I just finished the book of a hundred hands now I'm into constructive anatomy. I did this one to test what I'd been learning. Thanks for the kind comments. :D

Awesome, Cap'n!
I'll never look at Kevin Costner movie quite the same way again.
Brilliant work Cpt Rhodes.
Oh my! Lovely art.
Reminds me of a line I heard in a film a while back. "I can't think of nothing finer than a fine naked woman holding a gun."*
Except, perhaps a woman who is scantily dressed but the covering isn't covering the right bits.... (That's somehow naughtier. And she's technically dead too. This is so wrong....)
*I remembered the line but wasn't sure which film it was stated. (I don't have a one track mind. Not at all.) One Google later it turns out it's The Whole Nine Yards. For some reason I thought it was a Tarantino film or one of the Beverley Hill's Cop movies.
Gott in himmel Cap'n!

Cpt Rhodes that's just fantastic! I like the glint in her eyes among other things. When does the action figure come out? :lol:
Fox way funny actually I think that could be the U.S. version too if they wanted to go for realism.
Cpt Rhodes you rule ! You might call me a liar if I would tell you I only love her face. Very beautiful work.

Mitahane, I'd never call you a liar, but I bet you say that line to all the girls.
Crazy fox, I haven't seen Scott Pilgrim but the art is great as always.
Cpt Rhodes -wow, very nice light! Do like.
Sexy Vampire, gorgeous leather jacket, broom handle mauser... sounds like my to-do list from the weekend. ;)
Radiator, Hedmark, Ronald - honoured honoured cheers for the words ;)
I was rooting around at the weekend and found these copies of old school stuff from the 90's drawn in pen and ink. Those were the days. I love the smell of Markers in the morning!

Absolutely no offence meant to your luscious fully painted artwork of nowadays which is like being stroked by a lovely seal -
but I FCKING LOVE that style of yours from back when. I used to EAT those progs with Missionary Man in em.
Not eat.... the other one.
Read.
Cheers Fox
I was hunting for some copies of old BW pages for Connor Boyle when I found these.
I also found a pile of very cartoony sketches for an aborted animated show from 2000.
This was some of the first stuff I did after I left comics. I'll stick em up once I clean up the scans.
Great to see those Alex, you draw a mean Dredd (especially love your take on the visor). Like Crazyfox says, I do love the stuff you're doing these days but your lineart was frikkin' awesome too.
Tharg - take note grudammit - this man should ne drawing Dredd right now.
Brilliant! Cpt Rhodes, CrazyFoxMachine and everyone else! I had lost my drawing Mojo for a while then I joined this board and suddenly I feel inspired again. Now where did I leave my drawing box!
Yeah I'd echo what CrazyFoxMachine said as much as I love Alex's recent work his pen and ink stuff just blows me away. That Marshal Law is just superb.

When I first read this I thought "He was in school in the 90's? He was this good at such a young age?!?"
Then my brain dropped in to see what I was up to, and carefully explained why I was being a 'tard.
Hey Cpt Rhodes (Alex?) those lines are so great ! Reminds me on Moebius !
This is just incredible to see the evolution of your works.
I think now I understand how your actual art looks so great without lines as you could draw so awesome stuffs in the past. You're really inspiring and I have to say one of the most talented arstist I ever saw ( and I work in a comic shop dude, I witness proper shit being published every week instead of having artists like you on the spotlights ! Come to think that at least we have some Langley/Mills good old Slaine anthology to save the lot ;°]anyway... )
So ! Cheers !!!
Cpt Rhodes - just awesome stuff sir.
Not sure whether to feel inspired - or just hang up my pencil!
Keep 'em coming!
:o
Cpt Rhodes- Awesome!!!

You can't go wrong with dustercoats and long-guns. The drill on the last panel must have been a detailing nightmare.
Horses are not easy to get right, that one is spot on.
@Captin and Dave....amazing stuff
Here's a cover for a book out soon...I LOVE the coloring job they did on this... Greg harms did the colors for me.

Lovely stuff Gibson.
It is a very nice cover indeed, Gibson. Shame about that double outer-glow title across it. My inner typographer just soiled himself.
Dave, that is bloody wonderful. Really clean lines and I'm getting an almost Frank Quitely vibe from it. Love to see your stuff in the prog.
Gibson, awesome as ever sir.
Beautiful art, Gibson.
Dave, that art looks fantastic. It's hard to tell if you're getting better because all of your stuff is so brilliant.
Great cover Gibson! That's a monkey I wouldn't mess with.
Daveycandlish, DanboJohnJ, Kerrin- Thanks for the kind words.
Cpt Rhodes- Thanks! I had to use a photo of a horse for proportions but changed its pose and position using :o the mind's... eye...ooooooooh :lol:
Pauul-Thanks! more to come on your comic sounds like the colorist had a second wind.
Uncovered these drawing when on my attic archive hunt. We're really going back in time with these pics, dating back to 1982. It's amazing how much shit is up there. Give me a few more days and I might find find Lord Lucan or the Ark of the Covenant.

Oh sweetness! Those are great! I love finding old artwork. Visiting my parents house a couple years ago and found character sketches of superheroes I created in grade school. Orca, The Iron Butterfly, Canada girl and a whole bunch of other ones good times. :lol:
following in the footsteps of Cpt, some oldies from yesteryear. Like looking at old school photos.

Edit: I have just discovered the button left of 'w' and above 'a' isn't working.

(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5172450014_56de6be38d_o.png)
Crosshatching like that is something I always wished I could do, but never had much success with. It's beautifully done. All the more impressive from seeing it up close.
Cheers.
There's a great little cross hatching tool in manga studio. I've only used it once or twice
These are some of my early attempts at storyboarding with Photoshop.
This was from a game I was developing at a studio a few years back but never got off the ground.
The rights to this concept have reverted back to me now and i'm mulling over the idea of doing it as a web comic in small episodic chunks.
I've never done hardcore horror before and I'd like to give it ago
The bottom portion is some the 3D art developed for the game by myself and Craig Gardiner
(http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af70/alexr2222/CutnRun_post2.jpg)
Wox Alex, that's a game I wanna play!
The studio did get an offer from Majesco who were a decent size US publisher but the budget was under the requirements.
Looks like a grand zombie swamp fest. Lovely stuff Cpt Rhodes. :thumbsup:

NeilFord- looks awesome!
Cpt Rhodes- crazy awesome! Why does the tune dueling banjos come to mind?
LARF- That's one mean machine. Looks like something from 40k.
I've been reading and practicing allot. Same panel a little bit different thought process.

Crazy amount of detail Larf
Dave, still not sure which one I like best. Possibly the one on the left.
One on the left works better for me, there's more story telling in the way the lead character is ripping up the paper, and def more story telling in the guy getting wacked. This style reminds me a lot of Simon Fraser.
Haha! Thanks guys. Yeah storytelling first. What a big difference a few small changes make.
Thansk for the kindness dudes!
@LARF: nice work man, how do you draw on an iPad, got a wee light-pen or something?
@Dave Hedmark: Think I like lefty better, the chap in BG looks like he's getting a right lamp with that wrench.
@Cpt Rhodes: WOW. Very cinematic, what kind of software/ techniques do you use? Love to hear about your processes a bit.
Neil, the 3D Art was all done in Lightwave. relatively lo poly models but with high res textures to compensate. It was all renderd with radiosity which creates the realistic lighting and shadows. A touch of volumetric fogging and grain was added too because nothing in reality looks as sharp as it can on a computer.
These shots were created for an animated cut scene which generally made things look better than the in game engines that were around at the time.
Unfortunately Lightwave seems to have faded as a modeling/render package. These days I work with Maya for modelling although I still prefer the lighting capabilities of Lightwave best.

You use your fingers to draw, feels a bit weird at first but after a while it's quite intuitive and feels really natural.
Here's an update of the Walker I'm drawing from yesterday. I'll post up stages as they develop...
(http://www.eatsleepthink.com/2z0x0v06A6D/walker_2.jpg)
Yikes! That things all shades of awesome/arsom LARF. Is it for some project? :o
Nah, just a sketchbook thing to test out the new app.
I had a shot of the brushes package on ipad today. Found it very tricky to get anything good out of it. I take my hat off to you LARF, that's some serious detail your packing in there and from what I saw, only 6 layers to work with.
Are you going to colour it?
Larf. I am astounded.
The product of my astoundment is this curious Hulk Hogan/Freddie Mercury figure THAT NEVER EXISTED - !
(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/322/9/f/hulk_mercury_by_metal_truncator-d333v5a.jpg)
Speechless....But in a good way.
Fox, It's kind of.... Magic!
ha ha, Hogun looks weirdly cheerful & sinister at the same time. I would buy this figurine, but likely keep it locked in a box. :)
Howdy folks!
Good stuff all round - and Larf....crazy detail! And I thought I had detail-headaches with the second picture below!
Here are a couple of digital commissions that I have just completed of original characters for a couple of people on DeviantArt.
The first is okay (if a bit 'pink' for my tastes) - but I am really pleased with how the second one came out.
Cheers folks!
Simon

Penter that second one is AMAAAAZING. Cheers for the comments everyone :D
Fox haahaha you just made me spit my coffee through my nose. That's a great pic.
Simon I love that costume design.
Simon the line work and colouring on that character are truly outstanding, you've surpassed yourself!
Why's the other image in violation of Photobucket, you been drawing willies again :-)
Didn't get much of mine done last night, too much real world work, life and family to deal with (like getting home to a red haired teenage daughter and a purple headed wife - female bonding with a splash of colour.)
Cpt Rhodes - I am going to colour it, and I'm thinking of doing a few of these and basing them on sketches from the field, a collection of soldier's sketches from an alternate history set in the 1950's where WW2 is still on-going and technology has advanced. Colours wise I'm thinking of desertising the armour and setting the sketch in North Africa...
Cheers folks!
I can't take credit for the design on either character - these are other peoples original characters that I have been commissioned to draw.
I agree though that the design work on the second, dark haired, character is really good - but you REALLY wouldn't want to draw a comic strip with her in. Had to hand draw all the tattoos and you would get fed up with that pretty quickly.
As to why did photobucket disallow the first picture.....god knows. Here it is again.....no naughty bits on display!
Just Photobucket and it's usual oddness.
(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/7536/aglow2000ad900.jpg)
I'm not really keen on the colour scheme on this one...but again, the design isn't mine and I had to keep to the brief.
Quite liked the pose though so I did a quick conversion to Supergirl for a laugh (though she is a little too 'well endowed'). I'm not sure if I will ever finish it but who knows. Was going to have her sitting on a cloud if I did.
(http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/8462/supergirl32000ad.jpg)
Why so many pictures of Super Girl I hear you ask?
Well, it seems to be a GUARANTEED way to achieve a LOT of traffic when posting to DeviantArt and is good for getting a bit of exposure!
Make of that what you will!

Well, it seems to be a GUARANTEED way to achieve a LOT of traffic when posting to DeviantArt and is good for getting a bit of exposure!
Draw a sexy night elf from World of Warcraft and you'll be raking in the hits on deviantart. I did one years ago for an art contest by Blizzard and uploaded it to dA. Since then I have had a neverending stream of 14 year old americans faving it.
They don't give a shit about anything else I have done though. :'(
I get the Wiccans faving my mythological work especial 'Forest lord' and The Morrigan. The kids go for the meerkats. Teenage Girls go mental for the 8 pages of Wuthering Heights I have done (One day i will carry on with that, one day...)

She looks like she'd enjoy that.
You might say she'd get a 'kick' out of it. No?....I'll get me coat...
Nice!! Very nice colour job.
And YES , I am (almost) ashamed to admit it but that does seem to be the way to get hits . Any of my 2000ad pictures on there get a fraction of the hits and comments that the slightly dressed women pictures get .
It's got me some Christmas spends in commission work so im happy to play.
I would also be lying if I said i didn't enjoy it!
Simon, love the Supergirl pic and Dave, the elf is beautifully painted.
Thanks everyone, you all sure know how to cheer up a chap. Especially you LARF, that reworking of my pic goes above and beyond what I ever thought could be done with it. :lol:
LMAO :-) Pleasure Dave
Simon that Super girl demands to be finished/coloured. It would be a crime not to.

Hell, that's good enough for me vzzbux - consider it done !
Will get it posted at some point .
These are another couple of pics from the 90's, unearthed a week or two back.
This one was for a football fanzine and had to do with the supposed murder of a Columbian player by mafia gangs because of his own goal in the '94 World cup

I feel rude, I thought it was better to start your own art threads to keep all the different people segregated for easier finding. Accept my apologies and this picture I did a few days ago. It's a bit different for me as I did it fairly drunk and under 2 hours. Took a pic of myself and went from there (the gut muscles are pure fantasy... :P )

It's drawing straight lines that I have trouble with after a drink, even if I use a ruler.
Cool pic BMB. Love the chainsaw
[Just seen the PREDATORS movie, so felt inspired to have a bash. Was (inexplicably) going to have him walking up a spiral staircase, but I've taken too long over him as it is.

Sorry folks, thats a bit big! Thnaks for the kind words of encouragement, much appreciated!
Gorgeous! I used to have Predator dreams as a teenager which were as bad as my zombie dreams now. Then one night I started lucid dreaming and fought back. Since then I rarely have the Predator dreams and when I do they're as fun as the film.
I haven't found a good way of dealing with the zombies yet and I am a bit rusty on the lucid dreaming too.

Wonderful stuff all round guys. That colour Predator is a thing of wondrous beauty Neil.
Bloody hell there's some talented buggers on this board. Love that piece you've done for your bro' Dan. I'm getting a Kev Walker vibe from it, which is a compliment, obviously.
You ever thought about marketing a real one Dan? You could be the next Richard Branson
Really lovin' your stuff Neil. Have you ever done any full comic strips? It would be great to see your take on the sample strips over on the... er... sample strip thread.

@Cthulouis: hi man, yes, I've had a shot years ago [early 90's]. I was such a dong at that age I failed to take advantage of a lot of amazing oportunities, then hardly drew a thing for about 10-12 years. Bewildering...
Been working on art seriously again for about 2 years, shaking off a lot of rust! Anyway, yes, working on some new sequential stuff with a cool chap from the states and I'm doing a wee story for Vworp Vworp fanzine with a Uk writer next year - take it from there then, I would like to try and do some small press work I think.
Getting time to work is a problem, I'm self employed with a young family, so art time is precious!
Oooh, I've been meaning to check out Vorp Vorp, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for that.

Good news on Vworp Vworp - I enjoyed the first one and now it looks like I'll be looking forward to the second one.
Somehow I don't think finding you more small press work will be a problem, the unseemly scrapping over you might be ;)

Mum used to own a horse called Holly which she let a friend's kid ride in gymkhanas.
Wow, Static, that's incredible.
Some amazing stuff on here again,the powers need to make a numpty thread for folk who are a bit crap like me. Predator and the Horse are both fantastic,as are the others :)
Found a bit more time to work on this - wasn't happy with the harshness of the black.
So....removed all of the black except for the 'S' and her eyes - much happier with the effect which is a lot softer.
Cheers

This has probably been my best recieved work to date. I made these at 'work'. Before I made these, people using the car-park were just giving out about the cold, once these popped up they would smile and a lot of people resolved to make their own snowmen when they got home.
The Hotel manager asked me where I found time to make them.
'Well', says I ' See ALL that snow I've been shovelling off your car park? Had to go somewhere dinnit?.'
And lo the Overlord's wrath was sated.
Looking forward to seeing the advent calender, especially Neil Ford's Slaine

Page 2 looked like it was going to be better in the roughs stage but it turned out ok. I don't think I have quite found my Dredd yet but I am happy with the mix of solid blacks and cross hatching I have been gravitating towards.
@Steven - Page 2 is my fav , powerful B&Ws indeed.

It's a brilliant pic, Woolly... I still refuse to believe it's for a hip-hop album though. It's the most heavy metal album cover ever. The deactivated robot thingy behind the eyeball-mouth-fiend even looks a bit like Kev Walker-era Hammerstein without his hat on.

Marvellous females, although I suspect they will get back ache. :D
I like the tortoise in Neil's latest. :)

Dave that is stunning. I thing Grimm should work his magic and colour it for you.
lol i'll leave them on the redrawn version :)
Very nice, Dave. Good sense of movement as he runs along/pushes off the side of the building.
Thanks guys :D it was a lot of fun to draw.
Searching for Robocop reference for my last comp entry I stumbled across an old Robocop on a unicorn meme. I thought if Robocop can do it so can Dredd! (I also wanted to practice horses and painting and it was going to be my Christmas card but I didn't finish it in time)
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5128/5300232452_25fe63ca7f_b.jpg)
wow! Beyond cool Mr Denton sir!
Dredd on a Unicorn...wuh wuh wuht?
Great painting maestro!
My latest effort - a marvel female to make a change from all the DC ones I have posted of late.

Thanks Zarjazzer and Kieran.
I have always had a soft spot for the much maligned fully painted era of the 90's. Sure there was a lot of rubbish but there always is. Digital painting is nice when people get it right too (Alex Roland for example) but I do like to see a splash of paint in the pages of a new comic.

Ah man that's great! You HAVE to post that on the unicorn thread as well! (http://www.2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,28686.0.html (http://www.2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,28686.0.html) - possibly the most entertaining/disturbing thread on the board!)
A quick bio (I'll introduce myself in the proper area later). Currently a bespoke carpenter/cabinet maker/shopfitter but in my youth dabbled with graphic illustration with various successes and failures. For the first time in 20 odd years I've decided to pick up the pen and put the artist hat back on.
This has been brought about by an interest in the new Dredd film and a recent purchase of a Dredd graphic novel no less!
I did a couple of 15 minute DreddHeads below but decided yesterday to draw something a little more substantial. My style ranges from photo'istic to scruffy sketch style. I'd be very appreciative and interested in anybody's comments. This is a work in progress. I've done about 15 sketches to get where I at the moment so I've bunged a few up here for all to see. Ideally I'd like a bit of direction but any advice, good or bad, from anyone will be welcomed.

They are based on the same image but with various differences as I've scribbled my way towards hopeful inspiration.
Nice stuff :D
Welcome to the forums...!
I like your ideas with details such as chin strapping the helmet, embellishing the collar.The eagle,shoulder guard IS difficult to proportion and causing me the most problems.
I couldn't agree more! The more I tried to make it look real the more unreal it got. So much so that I originally ended up with this as a sketch up.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h331/Archeyoap/Dreddsketch2.jpg (http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h331/Archeyoap/Dreddsketch2.jpg)
I can see that its too easy to over analyse Dredd and its better to lose the hold on reality and let it be how ever odd it might look.
Not on my own computer, but I'll throw some pics up soon hopefully, showing how I had to stand my own blazeness for a while until I balanced the obsession with it.
Great Dredds, all the more impressive given your 20 year break!! Definitely keep at it - I am very interested in seeing what happens once you've worked the rust out of your hinges ;)
Hello Archey
Great intro to the art thread! Nice Dredds!
Hi Archey, like the Dredd's very much indeed!
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5248/5307857815_1f848b6728_b.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/neil_ford/5307857815/)
Hey Thanks Neil if you're being honest that means a lot! I've had a good around your site and the art work there is fantastic. How do you produce it? What software do you use? Can I see more anywhere else?
Is that Christopher Lee as Frankenstein?
Awesome, either way!
@Wooly: Cheers, a likeness to anyone is not intentional, but he does look a tad cadaverous and... 'assembled' right enough. :)
@Archey: I like your Dredd, really! Nice details and I enjoyed the tone work on DreddHead11.jpg.
The candor of your introduction also reminded me of where I was exactly a year ago today, coming back to art after 10 years spent developing my web business. I've a long way to go before I'm happy with my basic drawing/layout skills, but I certainly feel more confident 365 days of drawing everyday later. Go for it matey! :)
Software/hardware I usually use is pretty much what everyone else uses I imagine:
Alchemy: http://al.chemy.org/
Manga Studio: http://manga.smithmicro.com/index_ex.html
Corell Painter: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1166553885783#tabview=tab0
Apple computers, Wacom tablet & recent addition, a Brother A3 DCP-6690CW printer/scanner.
...and occasionally pencils, paper. :)
Couple more from last year (haw).
And I don't say it much, but wowsers to everyone else in this thread, awesome stuff!

Superb pictures! Glad to see such talent unleashed upon the forum. :)
Found an old sketch of this earlier and felt spurred enough to do a quick paint up..
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v57/woolly/oldmansmall.jpg)
Top notch work, guys.
And, spurred on further more, i have also done this...

When are you all appearing in the Progs?
Wow.
That's a great Dredd.
Continuing LADIES NIGHT drawing theme, tonight I'm having a pop at Judge Hershey [I soooo wish.] Quite pleased with it, will continue I think.

Loving the eyes on that Hershey.
Thats a very moody Hershey. Great stuff!!
thanks chaps, I'm currently inflating her mysterious lady parts, what fun! Wished I'd tried this years ago. :)
God she actually has a personality in that pic, neil. Fantastic!
I've just realised who that Hershey reminds me of. A brooding and trim Kirsty Allsopp
Brilliant stuff there again Neil! Actually reminds me of Meg Ryan?

Cool, IATS. Did you sketch that just in Photoshop?
Neil – you never cease to amaze.
CrazyFoxMachine – Nice one. I bet your mate loved that DW greeting.
Woolly – damn good Dredd there.
Damn! That's some good work Neil, love the colours on the first one. I need to practice my women drawing skills. IAMTHESYSTEM nice concept design. CrazyFoxMachine I always enjoy your stuff who ever it follows!
That is a serious peice of Judical hardware!

Cool, IATS. Did you sketch that just in Photoshop?
Drawn originally in
Manga 3.0 Ex. I then imported it [after a techno struggle] into
Photoshop CS2.
I should upgrade to
Photoshop CS5 but I've just been told yesterday that I'm being
'downsized' from the early morning job. Oh well more time to draw! Thanks for the comments folks and keep a doodling!
Thanks for the info IATS. I am waiting for delivery of CS5 (upgrade from CS2). I managed to get my order in before VAT increase. Now I need to get on with some work to pay for it. Sorry to hear about the work situation.
Cheers for the kind thoughts SuperSurfer but to be honest I did the job for far too long and though I'll miss the money I don't think I'll miss the 5:30AM rises!
Hope the CS5 upgrade goes well. :D
Sweet vehicle IATS! Cracking textures and angles aswell.
Ta for the encoragement chaps, it's very much appreciated.
Drawn by a friend.
Coloured by me.

Great pieces,Dirty Frank has to be the most disturbing Santa ever !
Dirty Santa Frank is sooooo funny. It's that strategic Teddy bear I think... :) Lovely inework on that Jeremiah McAlester waned poster, love the detailing on the pistol and colours.
Did this last night, total doodle, but I quite liked it.

PPS. And this was my take on SFX's art-challenge "do a actor as a character in the Whedonverse - They have got to already be an actor playing and other character in one of Whedon's shows AND it's gotta be opposite gender." They're taking their own sweet time to display the results and I got bored of waiting.

I like that! Particularly Eliza Dushku in Firefly style.
I love this new style you're playing with Neil- more of this please!

Zenith and not a Unicorn in sight.
I'm nearly ready to put this up on the art comp, the more I worked on it the more distant the reference to the Dark Knight Returns became. Homage or not I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out.

Thats got a Ralph Steadman style to it and it reminds me of a mutated Joan Collins.
Or perhaps her next face lift :)
Hello everyone and happy new year.
I've been off the radar for a bit lately, heads down with some work.
The first chapter of my current project is out in 4 weeks time so here is a selection of some of the strip work from it.
Hope you like it.
(http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af70/alexr2222/FirstBlood.jpg)
Cheers.
Gibson Quarter – great organ grinder with attitude. Brilliant quality to the inks.
flip-r mk2 – I did a double take when I saw teddy's left leg on Dirty Frank. Cracked me up.
NeilFord – vicious microphone head with Maggie Thatcher Spitting Image puppet gob.
staticgirl – can't say I know who it is, but that sure is a fine image of a woman with shooter. The hair and face are beautifully done.
I missed those Party Crasher images as was flat out working on my advent calendar piece. Beautiful work from Bhuna, johnnystress (love TMO's grin) and KerrazyFoxMachine's butler Dredd.
And right you are to be happy with that Zenith, Steve. I didn't spot the DK reference but now you mention it – brilliant.
Awesome as ever, Alex.
Ok, pleasantries out of the way, here are my final pieces for the advent calendar. I couldn't finish the second page in time for Xmas. As the first page was done more quickly it ended up being looser and I prefer it to the second page. Still trying to discover a preferred technique (digital/pen/brush – combinations etc). My first ever efforts on Bristol board. I made the mistake of sketching the panels on scraps of paper and then spent ages adapting them to fit the panel layout. For speed I did the lettering in Photoshop. Wasn't sure if the caption boxes should have punctuation at the end.
Apologies for the 'script'. I couldn't think of anything else that rhymes with 'holy' than 'hole-y' and the final two lines should repeat but I didn't think of that at the time.

Could be. There are at least 6 parts to the first arc (although who knows if a couple of ideas might present themselves?) but the potential to carry on beyond that. Problem is they are only 4 pages a go, so it is only going to make a graphic novella really and it might take a bit for them to accumulate. I'd certainly like a nicely bound little volume down the line.
The Vixen comic strip is just something I do in my free time so I can't produce any substantial volumes of work I'm afraid.
Ah, but it'll be worth the wait!
;)
it might be worth investigating print-on-demand comics and books sites when you've finished the story... Such beautiful art and funny dialogue must not go unseen!

Since babes and boobs are all over this thread of late, I'll chime in too. 'Vampire Vixens' aren't the only chicks in WASTED #7. Narcobitch makes her return in a 4 pager.

It was bad show that Narco Bitch's first appearance in Wasted was so fleeting.

Tis the anniversary of my girlfriend's little sister's spawning so I done made her this card. A simple portrait of the lass and her constant companions, Marcel of the One Fang Clan and Amelia N. Squid.
Happy Squid Day!
That's lovely and I've never seen a cute Squid before.....
Thats class. I love the way you've drawn the girls eyes. ;)
Thanks guys. I think this is possibly the cheapest birthday present I have ever given but it made her happy and my bank manager as well :D
Darren, you are the second person to compliment the eyes. Tis very nice when lil touches like that go down well.
It is a very cool style of art.
Thats a bit of special Ghostpockets. Have you thought about going into the "commissioned birthday card design business"? Could be something in that (I'd get one!)
Hi everybody! I've been away for a while I know, have a robot:
(http://www.tezoarillustration.com/weblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/robotuprisingshirt.jpg)
He's very angry but he just makes me go 'awwwwwwww'.
Ryan, that robot is awesome! I can imagine him as an ankle height pet that just strolls round your house, occasionally swearing at household appliances and plotting world domination while you sleep.
Now I think about it, I really want a pet robot.
Ryan that is utter genius. Please put that on a t-shirt. I know of several people I could buy that for as a birthday present.
Cheers everybody! Dave, you've fallen for his ruse - he'll steal your ankles while you're not looking ;)
Fester: I don't have enough free time to make up a new shop page (we're getting ready for an imminent sprog), but if you're after a robot head over to (http://www.tezoarillustration.com/shop/), pick one at random then just remember to email me with the actual details
Ryan, I like that a lot. But. The 101001011 etc. I first thought was lolollol as in LOL as in Internet shorthand which I despise. Now I know zero(!) about binary, if its feasible to start it with a zero I think it would work better.
I also thought the robot was lol'ing rapidly.
,,, you've got a point there about the lols, I might have to re-do that bit...
This character design is for a potentially extremely exciting personal collaborative project I'm working on with a friend of mine who is a very good cg artist. Don't want to say too much in case nothing ever comes of it, but will post/link to more stuff if and when the ball gets rolling...

Seconded. Seeing your stuff always makes me happy :D
Here's something small I did. It's in watercolours and is about A5.
I'm not to sure why the scan came out a bit blurred, I had to replace my old scanner and haven't used the new one before.

Amazing - !!!
Where-ever he is Kevin O'Neill just shat his pants.
Radiator and LRC - two blokes whose work I can't get enough of.
Great work, guys.
Yippee! Nice work Your Clamness.
Like that character design Radiator, don't know why but Nathan Barley keeps popping into my mind.
Thanks for the kind words, everybody. After not doing anything art wise last year I'm really going to try to do at least one picture a month this year.
Thanks peeps.
Always good to see your stuff LRC - would really love to have a crack at colouring one of your drawings.
@Lord Running Clam I like that, very much indeed! Impressive colours.

If you want to Radiator feel free, I'd love to see what you could do with one.
Most of my pencil drawing are still up on the site in the art and comp threads or would it be better for me to put up links to some of my pics on my photobucket account.
That's lovely Clam....
I love a nice piece of art during my coffee break. And that did the job nicely Mr. clam. Cheers!

Heya crazyfoxmachine! Didn't realise you were on here! Thanx for the vote of confidence man, but I don't think I quite qualify for 'Amazing' just yet! But hopefully I can work into it ;)

Thanks guys, I was happy with Death and andersons badge but I think I let Anderson down. She's such a sultry minx!
Cfm, nice one man! Just a thought, try changing the colour of your lines and tinge your shading to suit. I've been doing this every now and then and it can really lift a piece and set a mood. :)
Cool Pic. Can we get that online?
How goes it with WTF? I've been a bit out of touch, When is it due out. There's some amazing art coming through for it.

Although, the little space ships with red flame hanging around his gun kinda look like little 'peew-peew' bullets cos of the proximity and similar tangents dredds lawgiver. Just so you know!
That is arsom Dan but be careful there are people out there who will drag your art over hot coals for not being true to the original design. But saying that they probably don't go any further than the movie threads.

Cheers vzzbux. i didnt what to piss anyone off, just after seeing those shots from the movie and the mixed reaction it got i thought sod it i fancy having a go at a re-design. i know some may not like, but i dont work for 2000ad so its not going to see print.
Dan if you keep churning out art like that bike you may well end up in the prog. So keep pissing people off. How about some artistic licence on the Judge uniform?

Tinkering with the Lawgiver...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v69/johnnyeyebrows/lawgiver.jpg)
I've also been tinkering with the Lawmaster- which is basically built around Kev Levell's Lawmaster. Mainly because it was a good solid base and also because I'm a bit lazy.
Ooh nice, looks a bit Cylonish too.
That's a sweet bike DC!
Chi
Like that Lawmaster Dan. Very cool.
Nice development on the Lawgiver as well Matt. I was doodling a bullpup version the other day, I'll have to neaten it up and post it.
thanks El Chivo. Love the guns Matt. What did u use to colour it? really like those tones.
Cheers. Slightly earlier version with an angled top/front bit. I liked it at first, but realised that it would forever look out of perspective when viewed rom a front angle.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v69/johnnyeyebrows/lawgiver1.jpg)
Built in Sketchup with a texture added to colour it. It doesn't really need colouring as it's just for reference- but you know how it is...

Not as radical as Jim Murray's:

And, as if to prove the point, here's that earlier version looking all wonky and out of perspective.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v69/johnnyeyebrows/dreddfin.jpg)
In fact, the more I look at it, the more I think the entire picture is wonky and out of perspective. Still. Can't win 'em all. And yes, I was thinking of a Jock pic when I did it. Sorry.
Sweet! Looks good to me but then I've got wonky, out of perspective eyes.
So you gonna post the other Justice Department member you did? You know the fella, bit noisome...

Hunh. Stupid Twitpic...

I think that bike pic looks great, dancornwall.
And Matt, if there's something wrong with that Dredd picture then I can't see it.
Maybe I have wonky, out of perspective eyes too.
Okay - not an entirely new picture....a reworking. My 6 year old daughter pointed out that my earlier version of this didn't really look like Ventress.
So, have changed the head, shortened the character, moved her torso, re-outlined and re-cropped.
Hopefully an improvement (my daughter was happier at least.....kids!).
Cheers
Simon

All kinds of Dredd awesomeness going on here!
Matt - dont see any perspective problems on that Dredd myself. Absolutely spot on.
Also i want to ask, (and i hope i'm not being too nosy), but is there a reason you havent been in the prog yet?
I only ask because i know you've done some 'proper' comics work, you're a freelance artist (i think!), and your works frikkin' amazing!
Is it a case of not submitting anything, or they dont pay enough, or...?
Again, apologies if i'm being a bit nosy! (I do have a very big nose!)
Johnny Alpha. Had a bit of trouble with the right arm and gun, but quite pleased with the rest...

Nice one Chris :D
This was intended for the " You have 15 minutes to draw Dredd's Head - minus the helmet" thread but I got so into it that by the time I looked up an hour had passed, rendering me ineligible. I thought I'd put it here instead so that more talented people can mock me and titter.
(http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p147/the_legendary_shark/2000ADonline%20Images/township_one_day_one.jpg)
*It took me a lot more than an hour - I should've said, "after an hour had passed I decided to finish it and post it here." The mock and titters part's right, though.
This is a great image Legendary Shark. You've caught the brutal, soul destroying toll that must be exacted on the Judges and cleverly used Dredd's hand to cover his face and re inforce the gritty man on the edge look. Smart thinking!
Nice gun arm Chris Askham and the rest of Johnny Alpha's looking good too.
Some really nice images here. I particularly like Chris' S.D pic. Great version of the character! ;)

No problem. There's several reasons that are all pretty much tied into work in general. For a start, I always seem to be too busy to do any samples. Feeble, but true. I've never been in a big hurry to submit samples anywhere, to be honest- and I only showed my portfolio to an editor for the first time last year- and even
that was just because I thought I
should (Vertigo were reviewing portfolios at Bristol and I was going anyway, so...).
Generally speaking, 2000ad seems to cram more onto a page than American comics do- which isn't a reason in itself not to do it, but it
is something that I have to think about when factoring in time-for-money and deadlines. I'm not that fast an artist and I work in a very convoluted and time consuming way (a habit I'm trying to break, by the way), so an extra two or three panels in a page can make a
big difference to me.
All that said, I'd love to do a Dredd strip one day- just because I'd like to be able to say that I'd done it- which is why I'm always tinkering with designs in the odd quiet moments that I get between working, having children use my face as a trampoline, and allowing myself to get annoyed by stupid people on the internet. I don't think Tharg would let me loose on Dredd without going the FS route, though (which is fair enough).
I'd pay good money to see some Timson in the prog.
Thanks, IAMTHESYSTEM, that's very kind of you :)
I haven't put anthing up for a while so here's a panel hot off the drawing table today.

Ah Ghistpockets, he's always stealing my thondar...
Lovely page there SG, I see no problem with the faces, and Mr Ronald's Vamps are fangtastic as usual (ho ho ho, punny!).
Yeah Static I thought the faces were very strong here - !
Ghostpockets-I love the way the geometrics F**k with your brain in all your artwork But you colour to match its splendour.
And Static Girl is a great illustrator of female figures, and their mannerisms. For one who needs diagrams to getting anywhere in "reading" women her stories inform me in a more versatile way to most artists in that field. Is that as patronising as I think it is, whilst trying too hard not be?
Cheers Krombasher, you are a gent. Really looking forward to seeing your WTF!? strip, that preview was comparable to the main leg joints of a stinging insect.

Ha ha, thanks man! Yeah, did the sketch in manga studio, about 6000pixels wide, exported into corell painter to apply some lip gloss etc, then shrunk it down to 900pix or so for the web.
wow-love it
Hey Neil I litereally JUST got my hands on a copy of Manga Studio to have a play with and I have to say the 'pen' blows my mind for usability! I'm a hardcore PS user so I'm finding the shortcuts and tool placement a bit whack, would you have any advice to make the transition of knowledge a little easier?
BTW mad sketch!

Hi man, I'm just learning the software myself, only had it a few months. I can reccommend Jim Campbells blog though, he has some very useful information on MS and comic production in general. : http://clintflickerlettering.blogspot.com/
PJ has some good articles too: http://www.pauljholden.com/blog
Some great advice on here too. It'll have both the above links, within, too. Make it up to 100 with your comments.

Cheers buddy. I have Manga Studio but have yet to get my head around it at all. Like Malicious, I'm a conditioned PS user! Do you do a physical drawing first or is that drawn digitally from scratch? Also, I don't have Painter, but could I export an image to photoshop to add details like you did with the lip gloss effect? Sorry to bombard you with questions mate! I'll have a proper read of Jim's tutorial later I think.
No worries matey! I tend not to do layout with pencils, (simply because my scanner was busted for so long, I got out of the habit), if I need a sketch to paint on I usually do some random scribbling or use http://al.chemy.org/ . It's also a lot faster.
No reason why you can't paint/colour in PS, most do I imagine? It works pretty much the same as painter as far as I can see - layers, blending etc. Similar techniques aswell depending on wehter you are preserving the line work or going for a more realistic rendering.
Quite often use an analogue watercolour wash scanned in as a 'linear burn' or 'soft light' blend to get depth in skintones, then work into that with line tools.
Anyway I appear to have 'cried you a river'... just try stuff out, no rules! :)
Jim's articles are brilliant, such a good site he's building.
I'm completely in awe of that kind of texture work you've got going on there Neil. It really is just beyond me. When it comes to colour, I can do little more than blocking in areas of flat colour and that's about it. Nice striking image too, reminds me of something out of David Lynch's Dune.
Thanks Chris, I think using flat colour effectively is a lot tougher, should suit your style of bonny tight, strong line work though?
More paint from me:

I've done my first bit of B/W in a long time too.
I had a bit of a wake up call with this one, without the luxury of Photoshop to zoom in on the linework, I was struggling with some of the details.
Think I'll be paying the optician a visit very soon.

My son is learning about super heroes at school next week (pretty good school eh?), so I drew him a picture to take in -
(http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae177/spaceghost71/Heroes.jpg)
I snuck Dredd in to try and infect the young 'uns minds and get them buying the prog in a few years. (they're about 7 years old)
That's so sweet! Bless ye mister Bates - !
Love the Spiderpose particularly :D
I've recently been looking to get some good quality film posters or art prints to frame and hang on my walls to spruce up the flat, but from long hours of searching online, I have discovered that all of the really nice, classy prints I can find (like the cool ones they sell on Mondotees.com) are either massively expensive or unavailable. So yesterday, frustrated after another fruitless search, I thought: fuck it, I'm (sort of) an artist - I'll just make my own damn prints!
Here's my first sketch for a Predator piece - this is only part of it and it's very early days. Not sure how I'm going to finish it - I'd like it to have a sort of faux-screenprinted look when done, but I'm gonna play around with it a bit....
Only problem is that I'm not sure my girlfriend approves...
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/Pred_Sketch_low.jpg)
Ooh, nice. So when you say 'screenprint', do you mean kind of Olly Moss poster style?
Awesome stuff guys!
You are right to indoctrinate them young Lee, just like the Academy of Law. Really nice picca as well, I love Batman and the Hulk's expressions in particular.
And Radiator's elegant solution to the problem of expensive prints is both fantastic and inspired. Different in tone to your usual stuff but still totally you. Nice one!
Good stuff chaps.
My niece is also studying creating comics at secondary school and for that has to create a super hero. I was talking to her dad about the current issues of Imagine FX and Comic Heroes which have some interesting articles at the moment but due to some of the saucy images in those I will copy some relevant pages instead. While I was most pleased that they are teaching comics at her school I was upset and actually surprised that she doesn't know of any kids who read comics.
Ah, the problem of bare walls. I've been intending to do some illustrations for the flat but it has never happened. Nothing super hero or sci-fi mind you, but something more 'arty'. I like tons of this stuff http://www.gigposters.com/
QuoteOoh, nice. So when you say 'screenprint', do you mean kind of Olly Moss poster style?
Not quite that minimalist, but I'm probably going to try a few different colour schemes and see what works. Ideally I want to limit myself to using only 2 or 3 colours and make it more 'postery' than my usual digi-painted style - maybe take something of the aesthetic of Tyler Stout's awesome screenprinted movie posters while keeping my usual drawing style.
RADIATOR I LOVE IT

Neil you fucking rock. Apart from the fact that your stuff looks gorgeous, every picture seems to ooze real characterisation too.
Mygrimmbrother I do believe you are the nicest fellow I've met on the web... :) Thank you very much indeed!
Lee: Your composition of the characters is ace. You'd be amazed how many people overlook that as a vital piece of their image, (me included)
Neil: That pic has got to have a story to go along with it surely?
Radiator: You seem to have been gone for ages, you and Dave Hedmark, good to see your newest stuff. Can I make a colouring request/suggestion? I'd love to see that image painted in the colours of the predator vision, purples/greens etc.
It would be very psychedelic.
Well heck Alex, that there is just another Thursday night at the Un-Deadwood saloon. Looks like the bar troubleshooter, Miss Calamity, has some clearin' up to do?
Neil, amazing
we need to see some comics stuff!
Neil that's glorious. Getting a "Jessice Rabbit" vibe off your heroine there! How cool would that be, Jessica Rabbit as Samurai Assassin!! Groovy!
Brilliant work again Neil. I love the amount of atmosphere you manage to put into your art.
Thanks guys, you really are too kind - glad you are liking ma wee piccys, cheers! :)

Don't you believe it - I'm actually an asshole, I'm just your biggest fan as well ;)
Neil, are you working on anything that's going to be published?
I am in awe of this thread!
I'm also drunk, and in the middle of a major loss of confidence in regards to my work.
The only inspiration i can draw at this time is from this thread, and i thank you all for this. Seriously!
Just hope i can shake these blues off and submit something new soon!
PS. Neil Ford - submit something to Tharg IMMEDIATELY! Your talent demands it!
Just a quick stuff around ink + PS colour to break up the artwork I should be doing :P
Experimenting with some things. Also trying to calibrate my two monitors, fkn impossible it seams.
BTW I hope no one minds the stupid subject matter. I saw a bit of the 'Ultramarines' CGI movie, was pretty lame but gave me the urge to draw some space marines anyway! I did a quick ink of what SM armor would look like over 'correct' anatomy as well. I was surprised that it was alot closer to working then I ever gave credit for. I can post it up if anyones interested.

Markchilly that's unnervingly superb. And Davey - you're invoking some serious Dom Reardon there, nice one.
A cracking frame Davey. Love the way it leads your eye.

Hey,
Thanks for the comments fella's, egged on by the reaction they are getting.
Mark.
Loving the teddy bat guy Markchilly, and am now following your blog. More eerie anthropmorphic portraits please!
Yet another Star Wars commission from me. This one's a paying gig, some guy's 30th. He's also having a cake off my missus in the shape of Vader's head.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghh!!!
Markchilly, that is stunning and terrifying in equal measure! Astonishingly good, it disturbs me more than I can put into words (especially the nose and chin growths) but I am drawn repeatedly back to look at it again, only to repel myself once more. I am reminded of when I was a small child and used to flick through the bat pictures in my Dad's animal books and freak myself out.
First class work!
Cheers Greg! LOL, Glad it's hitting the spot.

Wow, stunning work chaps.
Doing something ABC Warriors-related for small press. I've got the whole thing sketched out, but I've just decided that I'm not too happy with it and it needs a bit more tinkering before I properly start. I should also probably work out how I'm going to actually draw them before I start, so here's what I did today. I feel more comfortable doing my own take on characters rather than try and emulate someone else's designs.
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/Hammerstein_2.jpg)
Radiator I would battle a horse to get your hands.
and your brain. I love this. COLOUR IT. I WILL COLOUR IT.
*looks at Radiator colouring again*
I will not colour it. Yikes. Please colour this !
I think I know what you're working on - and that is perfect!
That's quality, Wooly!
Nice work all
Cheers

Yep - posted this one earlier in the thread, but not sure if you saw it...

QuotePlease colour this !
Ha, I may get round to colouring it for fun at some point, but this project is all black and white - it's actually a bit daunting not being able to rely on colour to make my work look better, but should be a fun challenge!
Can't wait! :)
Radiator, you should be put in charge of action figure production for Rebellion. Your designs are so unique and this kind of style would make for a really cool set of figures. I don't want to use the word 'cute' because that sounds a bit naff, but there is something very endearing about the characters you draw. As figures, they would stand out from the crowd and, I reckon, sell. They could be like those old 'bendy figures' that had wires inside the rubber body, so the arms and legs could be posed. Imagine that Hammerstein was one of them, you could play with it for hours! Want!!!
Apologies for the outrageous pimping, Christov has already given this it's own thread, but I'm so very proud of it that I wanted to maximise it's viewing potential.

Some bloody amazing stuff on here since I last looked.
Exilewood- Great to see you got a scanner at last. Your Ministry of Silly Walks style Dredd is amazing and you draw women very well.
Wooly- Wow! I want that on a t-shirt!
Chaingunchimp- Great tribute to those monosybllabic anti-heroes. Your Nem in particular is lush.
Radiator- I agree wih Van Dom, the Radiator vinyl toy range is a must!
Lee- Cracking stuff! Hats off to both you and Mr Christov.
Sickeningly talented, the lot of you. :)
Another one!

QuoteThey could be like those old 'bendy figures' that had wires inside the rubber body, so the arms and legs could be posed.
Heh, that would be cool - I'm actually thinking of 'my' ABCs as being quite bendy - I hope this will lend them an expressiveness in the strip I'm doing. People tend to draw them as quite angular and detailed, but I'm trying to strip them down to the basics - they have so much personality that I don't see them as '100% robot' if you see what I mean...
That's brilliant Radiator.
They should get you to do the ABC Warriors cartoon.
Great, great stuff on show again.
Cool work chaps, it's looking great in here! :)

Love all the ABCs Radiator. A very functional set of designs for a strip, excellent stuff. I look forward to reading that.
Superb work as ever Neil.
Woah! Just spotted that before posting Alex. Mental! The bullet wounds and blood are brilliantly done.
Alex Ronald for the prog again!
THAT'S IT I'm starting an epetition...
Aww shit that's a dirty death that no-one wants. Even from a hot vamp. I was worried Alex was checking the area for grafting space. Unadulterated science art. Is it sequential?
Alex, that's stunning! :D
man there are some great stuff on here as always. Alex your work is so cool, really love seeing your work. rad your work is really pleasing to the eye and neil your work is wierd, in a goooood way. your line work reminds me of simon fraser/henry flints new style. All great.

Bit of a change for me this one, it's Hugh Jackman in The Fountain:

Smashing - nice use of light and texture.
Finished it! I quite like the colour scheme I ended up with - only 5 colours in all - but it would be very easy to produce different-coloured versions.

This thread fills me with equal parts giddy elation and tearful despair.
Days of Predators Past? I like it.
I bloomin' love it. Those caricatures across the top are superb
They are great, Radiator. Carl Weathers especially, heh. :D
Radiator, Wow. Love the addition of the faces and crossing them out is genius
Cheers. Only problem now is that my girlfriend doesn't like it (apparently it's 'scary' and 'a boy's poster') and isn't really happy that I'm getting a big print done for the living room! ::)
Hey Rad,
Dont worry about the girlfriend...this is awesome and deserves to be on the wall! ;)

Sorry.
Would some of you lovely ink monkeys have a think about having a go at some of the Jikan pages on the Genre for Japan thread? The more original artwork we can get, the more we may make on the auction. Doubling (or even more) up on pages is fine, and we also need a "cover image." Any takers?
Droids especially will make the package more attractive to bidders :)
Deadline: Art must reach me (via snail mail) by March 31st (PM me for my address or with any questions you may have, it's all a bit rushed so what's needed may not be too clear.)

Chris- I always love to see pics of Archie!
That's a fantastic piece Chris. It's a character I've always been fond of - I remember looking at my big brother's old annuals (Lion, Tiger, Valiant etc) I was too small to read the stories, but always recognised Robot Archie!
Thanks chaps. Robot Archie is a bit of a design classic - still looks as good today as he did 60 years ago. Don't think I've ever read any of the old strips, but he's always looked the absolute business.
OMG.
Robot Archie.
Such a brilliant character and really well drawn.
Great picture.

Excellent Neil. He looks like a right nasty political agitator from a soviet picket line.
Great picture.
He actually made me think of Rasputin.
Made me think of Al Ewing :D
I like it though. Looking at your stuff in this thread, it seems to me that we both like drawing the same things: people and faces. I could draw head shots all day- I find it very therapeutic.
Thanks chaps!
@Matt - yeah, in the absence of a brief/script I always end up drawing faces - I have a nebulous idea for a wee exhibition of various mugshots, passports etc with wee snips of text, so a narritive builds as you view each peice. Can't write worth a damn though... lol.
Anyway, one from last night...

A couple of years ago I did a picture of an updated Dredd costume. We all know Dredd doesn't need updating, but I thought why not try and draw a costume that some one could wear in the real world. For some reason I have allays had trouble with Dredds shoulder pads as they are in the comic, I just can't work out either how they stay on or how he moves in them.
Here's my Weekly TAB for this week 'non 2000ad comic characters' was originaly going to go with the Alan Davis redesign but went with the original costume that hooked me all the way back in late '76.

Neil, those are arsom!
I love your Dredd design Steven. The eagle shoulder pad reminds me of Bubo the owl from the old Clash of the Titans film.
And that Captain Britain is kick arse flip-r.
I love the retro Capt. Britain. :D
I'm giving a talk/demonstration about comic art at my son's school tomorrow (!) and I've done a quick, 1 page comic to copy and hand out to all the kids.

Brilliant Lee! The kids will love that.
As usual there's a surfeit of awesome art on this thread.
That's great Lee, though I must say I was expecting Spidey to come up with a pack of Hostess Twinkies in the last frame.

Here's Ben Daimio, BPRD's undead were-jaguar extraordinnaire, scribbled for Chris Askham's blog:

Ah, 'Captain Zombie', my favourite member of the BPRD cast. That's some superb stuff, Jimbo: he looks a little like a mutilated Bill Savage (with a touch of Japanese ancestry.)
Amazing stuff of course Feist!
...and the Eagle is related of course, to your amazing shortlisted cover for the awards back when.

I think that's one of my favouroutes of yours so far Neil.
Really strong Image and great design use of the B/W
Alex - of all the steampunk images I've seen that looks the most like it could have happened. I think it's because you have moving people burred like in an old photograph and the styles of the housing and fashions all seem right. People often forget about the face fur on the men for example or put make up on the women...
Neil - I like how you do a cross over between the starry background and Hellboy's legs in that pic.
Alex loving that image, I think that's St Pauls in the BG, but it does remind me of the Grassmarket/Cowgate in Edinbra
Alex, some possible future inspiration?

Looking good.
I definetly prefer the Warrior version of Axel, although the Sounds one is interesting too.
Shame he hasn't found a new home, like Marvelman.
Warrior completely passed me by. Must have ben during the teenage period when you shun comics for girls.
Has it ever been collected in a trade or anything?
Yet another excellent pic from you SuperSurfer.
Very nice indeed SuperSurfer. Love all the metallic effects. Turned out a treat that has.

Nope, the boohaha around Miricleman was enough to sink that, but you can pick up the issues for a couple o quid each on ebay, well worth it, V for vendetta etc also in it.
Not really anything to do with comics, but a couple of photo manipulations I'm fairly happy with.

That's a cool Rogue pic Flip-r. In fact seeing him with the pistol brought back a cover I'm sure Cam kennedy did back in the 80's. I think it might have been the storyline when Gunner was re-gened and Rogue was reduced to using a kick ass pistol. Think i'll have a hunt for the issue for a re- read.

Haven't contributed to this thread in a while, so here's one I'm working on at the moment. It's the cover to a zombie apocalypse tale (cos you can never have too many, right?) called SIX. Not finished yet, still got a bit to do on it:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/colourroughweb3small.jpg)
Good stuff, Grimm!
Here's a birthday card I recently made for my girlfriend. What can I say - she likes dogs...
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/Birthday_Dogs_low.jpg)
Despite appearences, it's all digitally coloured, using some nice watercolour and pencil crayon Photoshop brushes I downloaded - I wanted it to have a handmade feel.
Looks great Matthew, with a suitably downbeat colour scheme.
Are you doing the cover only?
The watercolour look is really convincing Radiator.
Cheers Radiator - and that card is a winner, I trust it went down well?
Alex - thanks! I've done some internal illos too - close up portraits of each character. It's just a sort of vanity publishing thing this american guy is writing, I think he's going to make it availabel for download as a pdf eventually.
Love the finished cover Grimm. lovely colours and very creepy looking.
Radiator, those dogs are ace. Real character in every one.
radiator happy birthday spelled with dogs is great!
mygrimmbrother sweet zombie pic I agree the color scheme is ace.
Its been a long long time since I've posted anything here. so here's a hot chick and a monster.

Dave's back, WHOOHOO!
And sorely missed. Lovely drawing too.
beauty and the beast indeed. Now she has to snog it.
Grimm - Tasty Meat! Haw haw Haw.
Radiator - Awwwww! That's so cute!
QuoteCheers Radiator - and that card is a winner, I trust it went down well?
Yep very well!
Quoteradiator happy birthday spelled with dogs is great!
Thanks! Glad you noticed, I wanted the Happy Birthday thing to be quite subtle, something you only noticed after a few seconds of looking, but was worried it might be a bit
too subtle. On the actual printed card it's not obvious at first, but becomes clearer the further away you are viewing it from.
First look at this thread for a while - :o Fookin ell! Everyone appears to have seriously raised their game recently!
Special mentions to Alex for the marvelous steam-punk-era pic, and Radiator's birthday card (which is the first photoshop colouring i've seen that fooled me into thinking it was a real painting.) Nothing short of incredible!
Any chance of a link to where you found those brushes?
Snap, I'll second that request Mr Radiator.
Can't remember the website I'm afraid, but if you pm me your email address I can send you the files.
Nice work Dave.
Hopefully our Space Oddities strip will be complete soon, so it can be posted online. Mike is just tweaking a few little things, but the colours are almost done.
Here's a preview of the strip for anyone who wants to take a look.

Here's my take on Major Magnum.
(http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/flipray09/majormagnum.jpg)
isograph pen,fw acrylic ink on A4 bristol board.
filip
filip - if you shrink that head down by to about 85% of it's current size that'll improve that image immeasurably.
-pj
(I used to draw overly large heads, until John McCrea pointed it out and then it became so bleeding obvious to me that it made a massive difference to my art...)
Someone mentioned a lack of Rogue stuff on the thread (apart from Filip's fine entries), so here's a quick sketch from memory:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/roguesketchinksweb.jpg)
Good memory.
Nice image.
Chivo, that is superb. Really brilliant. Just screams old school prog.
Flip-r, lovely Major Magnum. PJ's right thought, big head and short arms is not a flattering look!
MyGrimmBrother, that's fantastic. love the sun in the sky and the texture of Helm.
Great work everyone.
EDIT - Pauul, you're image doesn't show up for me for some reason.
Quotefilip - if you shrink that head down by to about 85% of it's current size that'll improve that image immeasurably.
Yeah, I was thinking that too - in fact the body overall looks a little squat - I just did this (very) quick transform in Photoshop, hope you don't mind.
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/Magnum.jpg)
That's why I love this board,the hints,tips and all round great advice you get.When I ask family and friends about my drawings you get the same answers 'that's good','that looks right'and so on,it may stroke my ego but doesn't help improve my art,long may the advice flow,big thanks to PJ and Radiator .
filip
It's amazing the difference that makes filip - it really transforms the figure.
Good stuff.
This topic is the first port of call when I log in here. Thought Id start showing some stuff. First time Ive had a go sharing anything so bear with me if its big...

As a non-talented observer, I really have loved watching some of our board's artists develop, and when you're getting first rate constructive feedback from people like PJ, you can't go wrong.
Judgefett - nice style and good story telling, I really want to read those strips.
Darren - can't go wrong with Dinos! ace.
Oh and I just love Radiator's doggy birthday message!
Judgefett - love the detail in there. The second page is particularly grand.
Stephens - don't pretend I don't love every little thing you come out with. Coy devil.
Hearty thanks, chaps. :D
That Rogue is tops, Matt. Love to see you do a strip of the blue guy.
Radiator and PJs help with flips allready cool pic fills me with warmth. Great stuff, all three of you!
Judgefett, some very nice things going on there. I agree with CFM, the second page is the stronger of the two. The inking is very nice indeed. ;)
Thanks for the kind words on the Rogue sketch fellas. Here's my latest attempt for the Weekly Themed Art Blog (which is so much fun - I urge anyone who hasn't contributed yet to get drawin'). The theme this week - SHAKARA!

@JudgeFett - Cracking drawings matey! :)
@Matt - awesome stuff sir.
I haven't had much chance to potter around with my pen and paper recently but there is something I did for my brother who is just about the biggest Level 42 fan I know. Obviously derived from a photo as I doubt Mr King would have sat for me but my brother still loves it as it's his favourite song.
All pen&ink,pencil, charcoal, chalk and big fat grey marker pen on A4.
I have to take my hat off to the staggering amount of talent I've seen in this topic as it inspires me to try and find more time and try to let my imagination take me wherever.

I particularly liked the well. Made me think of a strange lank haired girl crawling her way out....
Brrrrr!
I liked the well because at first you think, 'Cool well' and you enjoy the perspective and then you notice the training shoe and then you start noticing all the other things and it gets creepier and creepier....

Somebody contact Reuters immediately.
Reuters don't arrange parades with marching bands. All you'll get that was is Molcher and a kazoo. ;)
hastily inked and coloured version of my earlier pencil sketch: (http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/Tarkincolour2web.jpg)
Great Moff action! Loving that, Grimm.
Not like Prince Philip at all.
Yeah, I'm just being paranoid aren't I? ;)
Thanks for all the kind words on this piece chaps (here and on the doodle thread).

Hada a bash at Shakara too, don't ken the character well at all - so it's more of an impression than anything else.
Definitely my fav of yours yet neil! Top stuff!
That is fantastic!
It's Shakara day on Creative common. Brill work Matt and Neil. Only criticism Neil, get a bit of red in there.
Mr Soffe, I thought I recognised your foul stench when I was brought on board...
Neil Ford you win.
Alex - you don't know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate your life.
Amazing art once again on this thread.
Here's my WeeklyTAB 'Eva Porcopio'
(http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/flipray09/eva.jpg)

Nice buns, Flip-r! :D Lovely bit of inking, too.
Shakara by Neil is sick! Amazing. Totally dig the Rupert Trooper and Eva Procopio and the finished Grand Moff looks is badass. Ta also for the kind words Kerrin, Staticgirl and Cthlouis.
Well in case you're wondering what happens to some of the art (well one peice in this case) that gets posted here he's the final fate of El Chvio's rather wonderful Old One Eye piece posted here a couple of weeks ago.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_YrqDf9DfKks/TbLU2IM5fmI/AAAAAAAAAg8/wRMACH5LdqU/s512/oldoneeye.jpg)
Hope he doesn't mind me posting this as it arrived this morning and in between running around with my little I've not had time to decide where I want this to live finally. So just a quick, slightly blurry picture of it next to the reason I really wanted to get my hands on this... after all if I can't get an original Sola this has got to be the next best thing!
Sorry I don't own a scanner so I can't present this in all its glory to do it the justice it deserves.
That looks well nice.
Nice one Col
Glad u like!
Cheers
Chi
Looks very nice in the frame. Very nice indeed.
Is that the original Chi? And what size is it there - A3?
Yeh, it's A3
Originally did the pencils then scanned it & inked in MangaStudio (for the Weekly TAB)
When Colin said he was interested in having it, inked it 'old skool' & letratoned it (Wot a mission! Thank God for MangaStudio & computer cheating, that's all i can say!)
All part of the service tho! :)
Cheers
Chi
Chivo, your pic looks fantastic mate, might have to commission you one day!
Here's a well chinny Dredd portrait, worked up from a drunken sketch I did in the pub on friday night:
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/NewDreddportraitwebsmall.jpg)
Soffe - splendid Dredd with a bit of a Siku chin going on ;) The penwork in your shadowy areas is superbly unique.
Looks really nice framed El Chivo,another amazing Dredd from MGB.

Ta for the kind comments chaps!
Decided to splash some colour about tonight for a change. Not sure who this pair is, just noticed them hanging about...

Creepy.
I particularly like the red ghoul on the left.
(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/115/a/e/anderson_by_crazyfoxmachine-d3eu8q9.jpg)
My entry for TAB - Ignore the crappy art - I genuinely feel affronted by the over sexification of Anderson at points. Only because 2000ad is a comic blissfully free of stereotype - and sometimes we have Anderson's pout and nipples stuffed down our throats.
...and I mean, ignoring everything else, HOW DO NIPPLES POKE THROUGH LEATHER?
Thats great CFM, Im diggin the undulating mass behind Anderson and choice of colour.
An angry nipple will always find its way through even the toughest leather.
Quote...and I mean, ignoring everything else, HOW DO NIPPLES POKE THROUGH LEATHER?
Well, firstly you've got to ask how cold it is? Quality of leather? Size/strength of nipple?
There's a lot of variables to take into account.
Cool work chaps.
Here are my two latest efforts for the Weekly Themed Art Blog.
I wanted to ink the Cursed Earth Flesh drawing on paper for an old school feel, but this is as far as I got with it on the computer. Shakara was done super fast on paper and then scanned in.
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/Cursed-earth-flesh-dark.jpg)
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/shakara-supersurfer2sm.jpg)
Nice work SuperSurfer!
Some Zombies from me-
(http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k598/DeadRez/horrorepicz1colour.jpg)
Brilliant work you guys! Top quality zombies JudgeFett.
That Cursed Earth pic is very nice SuperSurfer. Really love it.
Hey guys been a bit, been uber busy. Pumped out half a dozen 'pin-ups' but I wont bother you all with the not really relevant pics :)
Fett, love the colours and marker actions! awesome :)
But here is a quick ink/colour I did for SnG's to try and ease back into it after a about a week off doing other crap :P
Lost the nice texture from compressing the files down to 250kb :P I need to work out a hosting that will actually preview on this forum :P
PS love the Shakara Supersurfer
Cheers Lee and Malicious- great to see a bit of Xenomorph action too!
CrazyFoxMachine That background is the most descusting thing I've ever seen. Looks awesome!
SuperSurfer That second pic is freaking awesome!
judgefett Looks like my subway ride to work in the morning.
Here's my Judge Anderson for the weekly TAB.Hopefully going for the older looking Anderson without the sprayed on uniform.

Cool Thor. A lot of enery in that pic.
I saw Robocop you had drawn on someplace last week PJ. Was it a for fun piece or is he coming back in a comic?
Drew a goofy Robocop for fun, but I'm also drawing a Robocop/Terminator comic for Dynamite (with Rob Williams).

Love that Thor pic, PJ. Chris, you seem to knock these WTAB pics out so quickly. Thats a damn fine Mekon.

Yes, that is an awesome page alright - but the rest of the strip is even better!
I've now created a thread about this little project of ours in the Books and Comics forum.
Jim - those crossbar I's are a pesky little thing, aren't they! I'll be honest and say I'd never even noticed them (or paid attention to them)before I learned they were very, very bad. Now I can't help but look out for them!!! Had to get my editors hat on and ask crazyfoxmachine to fix a few - but even I didn't notice the ones you and Shark just pointed out! Doh!

Brilliant stuff on here again since my last visit.
Ditto- a few days away and lots of loely stuff to look at. Diggin that El Chivo.

This is for Mr. Locust's crazy strip 'El Bigote' which should be part of the Pulp Indie Comic Anthology if i get the rest of it together on time (thought i'd bung it on the Weekly TAB too, if it ever decides to work again)

Do I have to join somewhere?
Would any of you kind ladies or gentlemen care to post this on my behalf?
Obviously it's Davros minus all the pipes and wires. I just thought he's be a good subject to practice some pen work and in light of the Doctor WTF topic the Curious Who by CrazyFoxMachine I thought it might interest some of you.

I've put your image up on the blog Archey, and also pm'd you. Always happy to have newcomers up on the Weekly TAB. Check out these goodies from the current Doctor Who theme...
http://weeklythemedartblog.blogspot.com/ (http://weeklythemedartblog.blogspot.com/)
Thanks for all your comments and especially Chris for you know what.
Flip it was originally sketched out and had some shading work done on my new Wacom and various software packages but in the end I had to print off what I'd done in a4 and then penned it all in by hand. Finally went over it with numerous pencils from grey to white.
It took about four hours and if I ever did get the fantastic experience of drawing a whole strip in this style it would be a fantastically long experience.
If anyone has any ideas that would suit my style your more than welcome to contact me.
pootiful....
Another one from me but one we all know. A slightly battered and old looking MeanMachine Angel.

Yeah, like this one even better.

I like that Mean Angel.
Sad Mean! Aaaaaah.
That is very good Archey...its like "Charles Dickens' Mean Machine". Awww..
Again thanks for the comments, such things really spur me on and inspire me to try harder. I wrote elsewhere here that my art took a bit of a 20 odd year hiatus and these recent months I've taken to reacquaint myself with past skills. As may be obvious I've concentrated on the head and face lately and drawn with a medium I'm really proficient with.
As for a blog Pauul , it'll be in the pipeline at some point I've no doubt but I don't have enough work I'm happy with to start such a thing. I'll keep popping stuff on here and I'll try to contribute to the weekly TAB when I've enough time. All I'll ask in return is some honest thoughts, criticisms etc.
I feel slightly abashed that I've not really commented on others work here so far. I will try harder.
Yep definitely get a blog and a Deviantart gallery - no worries if you don't have much to show now, get up what you have and then update when you can.
Every time I look at this thread, I leave muttering, 'I wish I could Draw'
Great stuff, keep it up.
Lovely work everyone, this thread is looking great! Work has been kicking ma baws lately, time is limted for art sadly. :(
Holidays next week though... yay! :)

Great new pieces Archey and Neil.
Yes it's me again, sorry :o.
Love the new picture as always Neil. You never fail to imbue a sense mystery and foreboding in you darker images.
Seeing your work and many other's here (but mainly yours) has constantly encouraged me.
A pencil work here, borrowed heavily from Boris Karloff the original inspiration for the man himself, I present Kano.
I will make a copy and pen this in at some point.
Oops cocked that up! wheres the edit button gone?
(http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h331/Archeyoap/kanohead1.jpg)
Cocked what up?
And using Bela Lugosi as a model is a stroke of genius
Meant to post the image in the post above that one but something went wrong and its Boris Karloff not Lugosi.
You are correct sir. I cocked that up
Looks a very serene Kano....disturbingly so!
Thanks for the kind remarks dudes. Love that Kano, looks great matey! :)
Young Darth from me, bit of a WIP - hope to paint him up later in the week, that may be wishful thinking though!

A wonderful piece Mr Ford. Love me a piece of Star Wars and this hits it perfectly.
Just don't forget the scar over his right eye. And it's young Vader. Darth is the Sith title.
How about a Royal guard in battle pose for your next piece.

Very impressive Archey - I think Mean is my favourite but they're all great. I'd love to see more too, so get that blog underway!
Neil - superb as always. You make me want to master Manga Studio, but I can never seem to find the time!

some!
Nice one CFM!!!
Both are good but colour version is Ace!
Really fantastic work Neil.
Well done, CFM. Loving the colours.
cool lightning effect fox!
Sorry CFM I completely missed seeing your pic last night.
Brilliant colour scheme which avoids the obvious choices for a Thor image.
Dope colour scheme for the Thor piece.
One for the Weekly Themed Art blog
Meant to put more time into this but...feck it as they say

It made me laugh in a good way. :)
Just a little bit of colour practice. Also mucked about with various bits on the PC
Rogue Trooper.
(http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h331/Archeyoap/rt12.jpg)
The drawing of Thor in, conjunction with the coloring, makes it appear to sort of leap off the page. It reminds me of some of Jack Kirby's work on Captain America. Very excellent in my humble opinion.
A noble and melancholic Rogue there Archey, love it.
Threw some colour at that Slaine sketch I did earlier in the week:

Very good. I like that you've made all the tatoos blue. Much as I like the comics art, I sometimes feel a bit miffed when I see those black paint/tattoos over the eyes! He's supposed to be celtic*. Not a native American!** BLUE WOAD! (Actually I think it was the picts who were renowned for that, but I think other Celtic people in ancient times used the woad too.)
Yeah, I know. A silly thing to be irritated about as we don't know they
didn't use any black, and he is a fantasy character, and supposed to be more a precursor of the historical celts, or some-such. And to be fair, it is a fearsome look.
*or pre-celtic...
**Not that they all did that, but I think some of them did.

That's awesome, full of menace.
Brilliant, Johnny! Very menacing, getting a cool old-school horror comic vibe off that one. Could be right out of Scream! Have you ever drawn a horror strip? I think you'd do a good job of it based on that one image!
Thanks lads
VD-- i did a few Horror strips a while back; Something Wicked and the Misty and Scream fanzines
I'd love to do more...if i wasn't so lazy

One of the panels from the latest vixens strip, strongly inspired by the Bond poster For Your Eyes Only.
Thought it best to cover it up a bit for those of a sensitive nature.
What others do in a poster Alex does in a panel.
Magnificent!
Saucy stuff there Alex.
Some great stuff from you talented peeps recently.
Now for my crap.
I recently brewed a Top Dog Stout so it obviously had to have Johnny Alpha on the label.
I started to draw a new Alpha pic but gave up and used this one I did ages ago instead.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/albion79uk/Beer/TopDogStout-JPEG_small.jpg)
I'd love to try out some of these brews Albion - any chance you could have a few crates shipped to the next con? ;)
Ditto on that. I'll try anything once and a Top Dog Stout sounds like an ideal con brew.
MacMac surely? Or maybe that should be spirits :)

Exactly my thoughts when I'd get a panel turn up in my email. Its like Christmas just with scantily clad Nazis (so like Christmas with the Royal Family then after too much sherry).

Thanks for the comments.
I might name my Mead Mac Mac if it turns out OK.
I made some cider once, it turned out a bit rough. I called it Ciderman, you can guess what was on the label.

Dave Hedmark that's suitably mental, love it.
In my continuing effort to draw lots of Slaine stuff, here's a WIP of my version of Nest. Always had a huge crush on Nest (it was Nest all the way for me, never Niamh for some reason):
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/Nestcolour2WIPweb2.jpg)
Always had a thing for Nest as well, must have been the red hair.Nice work MGB and all the rest who have posted since I was last on this thread.

Alex: It's not really for or from anything just a funny idea I had. The next one might be something to do with me and some aliens abducting peasants and conducting medical experiments on them. I was thinking of titling them things that never happened to me but would be funny if they did.
mygrimmbrother:Thanks! Great facial expression. I also like the hair and necklace.

Thanks Chris, slightly better than some of the twaddle I've been putting out for the TAB recently I'm embarrassed to say. I should spend more time doing all the stuff I've been asked to do and less time doing whatever I want to do but where's the fun in that.
Completely uninspired to ink the other night so I just sat down and came up with this. No specific character or anything, just a lonesome Judge taking some time out...

The Weekly TAB has really got it going on this last week. I tried to get round to Moriarty but rather than lose out on a week show I turned Sherlock Holmes' (he's there with Watson in the hand) adversary to non other than that no good American mysterio, Edgar Allen Poe. What a fight that would be.
(http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/261447_10150214400932602_591547601_7250073_3512794_n.jpg)
Yes, its lazily executed but the idea is sound. Get this *;
"Sherlock Holmes and his trusty assistant, Watson find themselves struggling through a web of darkness when called upon to investigate a trail of murdered writers. Each, young talented but penniless writer found, neck sliced and missing the odd story. This tawdry path soon leads to the crooked and mysterious house of Usher, upon where they meet the sinister E.A.Poe."

I can see that you are really improving and that you have managed to "tame your lines" a lot.Keep,at it and at it and at it.Ihavent looked at any of your work for a good while.
@Archey : that last piece is very good and i havent seen anything of yours that i havent liked yet.
Thanks Peter, always nice to reads words of encouragement. Much appreciated.
Done a few sketches for the Preacher Project - here's a sketch of Tulip:

Ooh, I see where you're going with that, though IF I did have your exceptional talent and skill, I would put her eyeshadow, same colour, staying with the dot tone, with smoother gradient as a pose to the cut out and take it to the top corner of her apparent eyebrow. This might set her eyes alight. This may not.
Already an engaging piece anyway.
Scratch that maybe. It may soften them too much. I have to watch smudge control!

Just curious if your artwork is digital or physical art as it doesnt look as if it is digital.
Also the Neil Ford artwork shows a positive aspect of digital art with the cross hatching effect that would be difficult and time consuming if it done with ink on paper.
Archey that is beautiful.
It reminds me of Stephen Bissette's and John Totleben's work on Swamp Thing.
Yes, seconded about that drawing Archey, its fab. Makes me even more excited about our collaboration! :)
Thanks for your generous comments.
Everything is physically drawn, every pencil line, every pen line, every chalk or charcoal line. I start off with a pencil image and then all the shading and shaping is layered on with various knick-knacks, smudge sticks and fingers etc.
Very often I scan it, crop it if needed and then print off and continue work on that copy.
If I think it needs it I might take through PS to tweak here and there.
Finally go at with various ink pens, pencils, grey-white pencils...and a sharp eraser!
Time consuming and there are more failures stuffed into the folder of shame than I'd care to elaborate on, most of them for Van Dom at the moment! (we will get there).
But i'm not proud so here is a dud. This just ain't right. Supposed to be Wallbanger

My new blog...
Hello all, I don't sketch enough and I've been really bad at learning to draw, so, to combat those TWO problems, I have a new blog:

Anyhue, I do a sketch inspired by, drawn in the style of, or, straight out copied/altered/whatever by an artist or artists and then sort of describe why / how / what I know about them. Here's todays:

Definitely welcome comments about the art and, better, about the artists I'm talking about - or even suggestions of people to look at.
Anyhue, hope you like it!

I caught that via your blog earlier - love stuff, I especially enjoyed the Klmit and Rackham inspired ones, oh and the Lone Wolf and Cub sketch.
I also got a McMahon vibe from drawing of the girl in Ikea - I wonder if it's the legs?

You say its a dud but there are some very interesting effects there that make it look metallic.

Piss off, Neil! How am I supposed to get any work done now?!?
Ha, ha! Sorry. :)
Ooh - an art submission thread. Here's my feeble effort:

Oh yes, so very feeble.
Hardly better than stick figures.
NOT.
In all seriousness, really well drawn.
I especially like the baby dragon.
Nice work.

Tried a bit of Photoshop enhancing on this picture of Dredd. Took me the best part of all after noon to get to this and after all that i'm not sure at all! wheres my pencil and pad gone?

Archey, that Dredd is the bee's knees!
Love the photo-realism of the mouth/jaw/chin...looks fantastic!
Awesome as always, Archey.
Thanks yous lot!
Really took my time on the face but my inexperience with the Wacom and PS showed up in the visor what an arse i made of it!
I'll probably re-do the bad bit sometime this week.
Well that's the beauty of digital- nothing is completely beyond salvage!
Some lovely stuff been posted in the last couple of days. Welcome DoomBot. Nice work. Great Chewy pic, Kev. His hair looks so soft and manageable! :D
I offered to do a free sketch for the 300th person to 'like' my illustrator page on FB (in a spot of shameless self-promotion). The fan in question was a Polish lady who asked for a picture of 'Zly', or the 'Man with the white eyes' (as the book is known in Britain). From what I could gather, he was a sort of bad-ass post WWII outlaw type. Anyway, without reading the novel, here's what I cam up with:

About a month ago I started work on a new Walking Wounded story, the first page started brightly then trailed off into disappointment. I always get artistic bloc from disappointment so it took a wile for me to revisit the page and have a second crack.
(http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/7089/wwblackshirtspage1bw.jpg)
I had a little look at myself and then re-drew frames 2-5 and I'm much happier with them now. it's a mazing how much differnce not putting a million bottels behind the bar can make!
(http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/5066/wwblackshirtspage1bwv2.jpg)
Steve, you're right - those redrawn panels are loads better. Helps sometimes to have a bit of ditance then go back and re-evaluate what you've doen doesn't it? You've really made those work.
Looking good Steven! Cracking bit of drawing on the house.

Neil you need to slow it down, I can't take it! Unbelievably good.

Some amazing work here so now I'll bring the quality level right down with my latest homebrew label.
The idea has probably been done before but here's my medieval Judge.

I did have a pint today of something called Saracen-okay but your label looks cooler Albion.
The last couple of days I've been putting together a sort of Sgt Peppers-esque tribute to Nikolai Dante - here's a little sneak peek (very rough pencils at this stage), hopefully I'll be able to post the finished thing before too long...

Looks good, but I'd move anyone's faces off the dead centre line, you'll - at best - end up with a weird looking face and - at worst, lose a chunk of face - depending on where it sits in the comic.
(And for fun, you'll be able to make him smile or frown everytime you open / close the comic... http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A35977918 )
The work being posted on the various art threads is just amazing! It's like whiskey for eyes.
After seeing my Judgement Knight on here CrazyFoxMachine got hold of me as he wanted to have a go at colouring it. As you can see it's a vast improvement on my efforts. I really like it. Thanks CFM.
I'll have to add this version to the beer label now, it will look much better.

So... very... cool.
Been a while since i've checked this thread out, and once again it doesnt fail to deliver! :o Inspiring stuff all round!
I've not drawn anything for a few months as my wacom broke, but managed to fix it today and decided to try and work some of the rust out..
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v57/woolly/dreddsketchsmall.jpg)
Got a few techniques to re-learn i guess, but pretty pleased over all :)
So you should be. Very nice. I particularly like the creases/shading effect on the uniform.
Magnificent work from one and all but I think Woolly's Dredd has set the new standard.
Thank you very much for those nice comments Grimm and Paul.
All these Dredd pics have given me an idea. Be back soon.
A couple of hours and the eagle was a B*$#H !

An early, younger Judge Dredd? Love the details considering the time frame and the Helmet chin loops are an intriguing edition to the Judges Uniform .
Those Dredds are fantastic.Had a mess around with the new films looks to pass the tie this afternoon.

Lovely Dredds there gents.
Seeing the new movie design drawn, as opposed to a photograph, really does prove that they nailed the uniform. Its instantly Dredd! :thumbsup:

Working out some art wrinkles the other day:
"Where does he get those wonderful toys?"
Mat thats awesome, what Prog did you use? Painter? Been meaning to try it! Love the near 'penciled' feel on the shading of the face.
Photoshop and Painter. I flip-flop between the two several times.
Scweet! I'm a bit board with PS for painting, can't seam to get the effects I want. I think I use it too much for work so I think to technical in it instead of artistically.

(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/Hudsonredsmall.jpg)
Top work all, especially the Timson Joker - so hard to do anything fresh with him.
Emperor: If only that were the case! :) Doing a comic in 2000ad would be a definite career highlight! I think I need to do some more comic stuff before that happens tho!
Thanks for the compliments peops.
Mr. Chilli; Robojudge is well cool.
Grimm I love the texture you got in the tones! Photoshop? Is it an ink sketch first or all computer? lots of cool shit going on there!

Emperor: If only that were the case! :) Doing a comic in 2000ad would be a definite career highlight! I think I need to do some more comic stuff before that happens tho!
That's why I suggested Zarjaz, a great way to hone your talents drawing the characters from the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, for the Galaxy's Greatest Fanzine.
Thanks Malicious, it's a pencil drawing, darkened in photoshop, then I added 3 or 4 separate layers to gradually build up the tones, smudging them to achieve a sort of watercolour effect. Then I threw on a texture layer - piece of paper stained with tea and coffee, colour burn set at about 50-60% opacity. Last thing I did was flatten it and give it that reddy hue. It's a fairly new approach for me, one I've been trying out on some character sketches for a new strip, but I'm actually really enjoying working straight over the pencils and not inking for a change.
lovely stuff mygrimmbrother! Bill Paxton, the only actor to be killed by an alien, a predator and a terminator. What a guy!
Didn't Lance Henrikson get wacked by them all aswell?
Oops my ignorance is showing! I'm a bit out of the loop. I am stuck on a prison colony after all! ;) it would be a cool project, do you know how to get in contact with the powers that be? Just to say hey let them know I'm about.
Grim - working good for you man. I know James jean does a similar thing but he has at least one layer where he blurs the pencil. Gives his work that ethereal feel. I love inking to much to skip it personally! Colour is currently kicking my arse. I do ok with it in an oil painting but get on a computer and it all goes to shit :P
Found the blog and an email address. I might send off an email tomorrow night. Bed time here now.
Stunning work chaps.

Yes you are correct. Lance got blasted in the first Terminator movie, cut in half by the Alien Queen (though technically he was a droid or artificial human and "survived", only he was written out of the next one by Sigourneys ego )
And died in the first Aliens vs Predator film as Charles Weyland of what is presumably the forerunner of the Weyland Yutani mega-corp.

Well by a happy coincidence #cough# I am a script consultant on Zarjaz. The editors Rich and Bolt are on these very forums and will probably stumble across this anyway but I'll PM you their email addresses.

Oh man. I hate to be
that guy but ol' Lance was in Alien3, just not as the android Bishop.
Quote from: Emperor on 05 August, 2011, 03:04:40 PM
Corking Joker there. Have you shown DC or Marvel your portfolio?
Yes and no. I showed my folio to Shelley Bond (DC/Vertigo) last year at Bristol and she was impressed enough to ask me to submit character sheets for books that she edited. The thing is, I only showed my folio because I was there, was currently working
in comics, and felt like I should show my folio because I
could. The reality was that I simply didn't have the time to follow up with the character sheets. When I
did have the time, I felt like I'd left it too long to avoid looking like an arsehole and just moved on to my next gig instead.
My Marvel story is even worse: An editor there got in touch and asked me to submit a folio that he could forward to the talent team, as he was interested in working with me. Unbelievably, this was the same day that I'd already called bullshit on CB Cebulski's "artists should be in it for the love of the medium, not the money" gubbins, on twitter (for those who don't know, CB heads up the talent team). I like to console myself with the thought that my folio was simply shit, rather than the other way that this tale of woe could go. :D
I'm not that fussed about either, to be honest. Yes, it'd be nice to work for the big two- in the same way that it'd be nice to work for 2000ad one day- but comics aren't the be all and end all. I'm happy to fit them in around other stuff- but until I become independently wealthy, or until publishers are ready to pay what the job is worth, I'm happy to potter along at them in my spare time.
Technically, as I've never actually chased a comic job, I've yet to feel the pain and suffering of rejection. I'm sure it's only a matter of time though... :D

He actually played both. Well, technically he played Android Bishop's head and was kinda gooey.
Edit- Actually, I might be wrong. The head might have been entirely prosthetic, but I think they did a similar thing as the rebooted Ash in Alien (i.e. poked his head through a doohickey, made him spew yoghurt, etc, etc.) He played AB's voice anyway. :lol:
Wow, standards are through the roof around here of late......well done everyone!

This is a preview of some art I have done for a comic called Sugar Glider Stories (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sugar-Glider-Comics/151370661553515) which is coming out later this year. I have Lee Grice to thank for this. :)

Well done - it looks lovely.
Cool stuff!
That's really nice Staticgirl - I've been meaning to check out Sugar Glider after the small press panel at Bristol - you've just reminded me to buy some! Do you have a link or email where I can buy back issues? Facebook just befuddles me, all those likes and posts and walls and stuff!
Strip is looking great Saticgirl, nice one!
Been watching The Unforgiven tonight, made me want to strap on ma shootin' irons.

Staci, those panels are really nice. They covey a sense of longing which is hopefully what it's menat to do. There is something about the pose of the figures and the nice use of leaves breaking the panel boarder...
Also, is that The Doctor and Amy on the bus?
Forgive the use of a link but I have some new pages up at;
http://danielbellcomics.blogspot.com/
Static that's an amazing page :O
Grand pages from staticgirl and on Danbells blog (nice version of the "A girl in every port" story Danbell I was so intrigued I tracked it down on the millarworld forum, and it is a interesting and unusual story).
Classic stuff from NeilFord. It's almost like looking at character actors.
They are actually 2 panels from 2 different pages but putting them together like that tells its own little story which I didn't realise when I did it...
You can buy issue one of Sugar Glider and Sugar Glider Stories here:

I love the idea that potential victims may well be more concerned with the comb-over before the teeth. But that's the mechanism, isn't it? Distraction?
Thanks Alex! :)
@Krombasher - the comeover is the haircut of the desperate and dammned. A man with a comeover is capable of anything. Except growing hair on top of his head of course. And women. Meeting women is tough too.
Cracking stuff as usual Neil, not much more i can say...

I have been overhauling My drawing skills recently (like I do roughly twice a year for about six months of the year each time!) This strip is only six pages long but it already feel longer, probably due to the 20 sheets of paper I have ruined creating the 4 I now have!
Nice work posted recently. Love that judge Death Archey. Nice textures. Here's the first page of a little story I had going round in my head. Just playing about really so not sure I'll ever finish it but it amused me over the last day or so:

They are some of the pages for 'Massacre For Boys Back In Action!' The Black shirts of Exmore is Brace's origin story. we now have a release date of February 2012 so Massacre For Boys really is Back In Action at last.

Just out of curiosity, how do you find the finger-painting method of working on an Ipad to your usual way of doing things PJ? Quite intuitive? Awkward, or just different?
Archey - that Gandalf is the [spoiler]fuckin[/spoiler] business! Awesome.
Here's that one you wanted to see finished... :)

Brilliant work Woolly.
Is that McCready from the Thing Neil ? Lovely stuff and an appropriate colour scheme.
NeilFord, I'm really liking the subtle angularity of your work and the rich almost Colin McNeil like colouring.
Woolly, I have said it before ( I think) and it bears saying again, your stuff is like the best of the 90's fully
painted work, which I really like incidentally!
Archie, that's the best heat to toe I've seen you post, pro quality.
PJ, that's one nice Conan!
Thanks Woolly and Steve, much appreciated.
That's very nice Mr Ford but is that Barry Gibb.

I was rereading some old progs, happened upon the rather epic Dredd outing called, City of The Damned. It clearly overloaded my 14 year old brain at the time, as I'd forgotten about Hershy going all 'vampy'. How lovely, so I thought I'd have a go at that.
Turned out a bit more transexual than anticipated, :o but fuck it, it's the weekend, yeah?

Super pic Neil but for a moment there I felt it was the woman from that truly shite Movie Aeon Flux and almost fainted. ;)
Thanks IATS and Mike, unbelievably I'd not even considered to similarity to Death but you're quite right. Must have been a subconscious thing, but I totally missed that!
Nice as usual Neil, love the fact there's a hint of a snarl just behind the hair.

Cheers Fox. Fin rendered my favourite sky ever there. Seriously, I havent seen a real sky look that good.
A while ago I was considering creating my own custom DVD covers for the Star Wars trilogy. The ones that usually get released - especially the new Blu-Ray ones - are so ugly and garish I wondered if I could create something a bit more subtle - I could then print them off on some nice paper and post them online for others to download.
I had a bit of free time and this is what I came up with - I should say this is very much a rough draft - R2 is little more than a sketch really. Everything still needs a lot of tweaking and tightening up before it's finished, and even the dimensions are are totally wrong at the moment - just trying to get a feel for how it would look.

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/Star_Wars_Rough_low.jpg)
Each of the three films would have similarly simple cover illustration and matching design, but with a differing colour scheme - blue, white and cyan for Empire and various shades of green for Jedi...
Checking in after a long absence. Brilliant stuff of late.
The DVD covers for Star Wars are truly awful. Like your approach radiator.
@Danbell - very nice, like the angles a lot!
A bit more polish - much happier with it now...

I notice you are in fact leaving it paginated as disc one on the spine. Deferring any association with the Roman numerology and sequence. On purpose, laconically, or just plain indifferently?
Because it's a DVD sleeve from a universe where the prequels and the Special Editions don't exist.
Okay. It was a little thing but I wanted to know.

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/Jedi_low.jpg)
I like the exponential increase in size of the cover objects. And POV, come to think of it...
Ha! Entirely coincidental, but it's a good observation, and a happy accident.
Have now tweaked the colour of the Jedi one to give it a bit more contrast.
Heh. I was enjoying guessing as to what the final image was going to be. I like your choices; an the films are so choc-full of iconic design it's difficult to pick just three.
The Millennium Falcon still takes my breath away as a concept. No doubt Lucas'll replace it with some sort of CG Space Squid by the next version.
In case you're interested a friend of mine produced these posters for the Star Wars 30th Anniversary in Europe which your covers reminded me of a little (not sure why, they're quite different, but it's nice to see alternate takes on the mythos.)
http://danlish.com/wp-content/uploads/starwars-30th-anniv-jedi-poster.jpg
http://danlish.com/wp-content/uploads/starwars-30th-anniv-sith-poster.jpg
Cheers - I wanted to avoid the most obvious icons - would have been way too easy to do Boba Fett or Darth Vader - they've been done so may times already.
I originally intended to do Jedi as a forest scene looking up at a distant Death Star in the sky, but it gets insanely hard to to that sort of thing when you're strictly limited yourself to only using 4 colours and simple shapes.
Wow Jon and radiator that's just supreme stuff. :o

Loads of great art and fine dvd covers, Radiator.
One of the last things I was working on before my laptop carked it a few weeks back. Based on the advice of a few artist friends, I had added a right arm and leg, and she was wielding some fierce looking electronux, but I didn't get round to backing that version up before the computer expired. So I thought I'd share it as is, as I haven't shared anything for a while.

Thanks Alex! A definte hint of the 80's indeed! This is the first thing I've drawn with a real pencil for ages, felt really nice.
Love it
DO you do comic strips Neil? You should deffo be doing covers for the prog but I'd love to see a strip too
Thanks Johnny, I'm working on some strips at the moment, it's tough though!
I'm a bit behind where I wanted to be at this stage, but it's been a mental year with my business and having my wee lassie in hospital etc.
Thanks very striking Neil, very good. Now I've got to ask as i couldn't bear to miss it...What Strips? can you let on? I will look forward to see them more than i can describe.
Archey, thanks man! I don't mean strip work for a major publisher, I'm doing some small press work and my own independant story too, taking a while though... :)

"Jenny Greenteeth is a figure in English folklore. A river hag, she would pull children or the elderly into the water and drown them. She was often described as green-skinned, with long hair, and sharp teeth."

Fucking AWESOME!
Looks great SuperSurfer, my favourite entry by far.

Thanks blackmocco and Neil.
Amazing Supes, Neil.
Remember reading about her when I was little, in my mum's old Readers' Digest book of British Folklore - bloody terrified me. Her and Rawhead and Bloody Bones. Shudder. Nice one Supes.
And nice Supes, Neil!
That is one scary looking Jenny Greenteeth, great work SuperSurfer. Powerfull Superman NeilFord, I like the "I could crush you like a bug" look he's giving out.
Stew. :thumbsup:
Top work chaps.
I've just finished Speed Date 2 so I though I'd show the cover, which just happens to a complete rip off/homage of Bill Sienkiewicz's cover of Elektra Assassin #4, but what the hell!

Been a while since i popped something on here. Trying out a painting style on photoshop. Turned out quite well i thought. Could be a bit tighter though, but its practice and thats all you can do i suppose.
Cornwell you talented git - ! This is a class Dreddhead, right here.
Thanks. Now onto the next. It's great when a plan comes together!
Great DREDD portrait dancornwell.
Just reading through the pages on this thread and I gotta say there's some bloody amazing talent on display, pat yourselves on the back people, you are the awesomeness
Love the angle of the shadow across the cheeks from the helmet, very nice :thumbsup:
So are we being sketchy in this thread?

Sorry to hear about the job mate.
Cracking art tho. Anything with bird skullls always gets my vote!
@markchilly - Sorry about the job, that sucks ass. :( ...love your wonderful drawings though, that jester, (I'm asuming a door knocker?), is awesome.
Sad to hear about your redundancy markchilly but great Art work. You are the cross hatching King!
Cheers guys.
Hope something comes up on the job front soon markchilly.
Love the style you utilise as I don't think I've seen such a style before on here, top stuff.
You're a legend Mr Chilly - !!!

Bit of a change from the artwork here.
Took a fancy to own a big one-eyed beastie. From Star Wars (he types hastily)
Fans will know it as a Dianoga
Semi-fans will know it as the thing that pulls Luke under the rubbish in the Death Star
Non-fans will be going WTF.
But, i'm happy with my new Guardian Of The Plug Hole

I was just thinking that! Awesome work.
I was thinking about what I was going to write for my next pitch to Zarjaz. I have a few ideas that I have been mulling over but I'm pretty sure my next script will be about Chopper as a middle age man. Chopper had a pretty rough ride after Song of the surfer (witch is one of my favourite comic strips ever!)
I drew this picture of how I see the character now as inspiration. I don't tend to draw my own strips if Zarjaz picks them up but if it gets rejected I may draw this one myself.

(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/311/e/8/fantasy_faces_by_crazyfoxmachine-d4fhinr.jpg)
Working on something that I've been meaning to do for a while - eventually it's going to be a panoramic street scene with multiple characters. I've also started experimenting with Google Sketchup to construct 3D props and buildings for my illustratons. It's a great little program - and is surprisingly versatile (and fast - you can knock up a decent building in around 20 minutes). Not sure how I'm going to integrate it all together yet, but I hate drawing buildings the conventional way so this is going to be a huge help in the future. At some point I'm going to use it to build up a library of Mega-City Blocks to make drawing Dredd strips much more managable!

The basic wireframe can be lit and shaded, then a little work in Photoshop you can tweak it further...

That is truly superb.
It would scare the bejesus out of my little ones at bath time.
Hmm. Have you thought about hiring it out!! Ho ho

Agreed. Good job Radiator. I decided some time back that I was sufficiently challenged by two dimensions as not to worry about a third. How long did it take to knock up that building?
I learnt the basics of Sketchup in an afternoon. Someone lent me a copy of the ...For Dummies manual, but I only need it for a bit of reference. You should give it a go - drawing a shape a 'pulling' it into three dimensions is both intuitive and immensely satisfying. I suspect real 3d modellers regard it in the same way photoshop users view MS Paint, but it's a fun, free way to experiment. You're never going to make anything approaching photorealism with it, but thats not what I'm interested in anyway.
Once you're up to speed you can easily put a basic building together in 20mins. I just make a complete floor and duplicate it. Windows and things like that can easily be copied and pasted so take no time at all.
Rounded or unconventional shaped things are a lot trickier - the plane and van each easily took a couple of hours.
Owen,
I'm loving the artwork. Your stuff is just so expresssive. It reminds me a little of Robert Crumb, but maybe that's just me.
radiator,
Nice pencils. If you were an animator, I would watch any show you worked on, just to see your characters move.
I've tried to use Google Sketchup, but not being an artist, I find it difficult to make anything resembling anything. It is really fun to mess around with though.
would appreciate some feedback on current story I'm working on.
more follows at deviant art:

Don't knock it. I use Maya and Lightwave on a daily basis and I struggled to get into Sketchup. Can't teach an old dog new tricks I suppose. I love the slight warping bend you have in the tower block. Gives it the cartoon feel in one fell swoop.

Amazing work guys.
Cool work dudes!
Those last two are class. Lovely lighting on that, Neil. ;)

Haven't been on this thread for a while, and the recent work proves this to have been a mistake. Nice one all.
Radiator, that Game Of Thrones Christmas Card is brilliant.
Well I haven't been on for a while, and haven't really had time to draw because of exams, so I thought I'd be a tool and just upload a devart picture I did aaaggessss ago that I don't think I've uploaded yet, but I've almost finished a page that hopefully I'll upload soon. As always, more on my Devart page (which I think is in my signature) but there is only one new piece on there so you've probably seen all of it anyways!

Ar. Som.
Donno why I don't get teh notifications any more?
Anyway, some really rad shit going on in here! Awesome work guys!
Here's a sketch of Johnny Alpha I did in the mole skin while vegging in front of the TV. Might colour it up if I get some free time during the week / end...
Incredible work all round guys. Love to see that Johnny Alpha worked up Malicious - in a moleskin you say? It's not a small one is it? I can't my head round how small some folk are able to draw! Madness I tells ya.
Good work all, nice to have a burst of new stuff to look at!
Cracking stuff as normal especially like that Anderson Woolly very...unfussy (?) Giant metal donut cuffs are great.
Mygrimmbrother; its in one of the larger soft cover Molies'. Smaller then A4 bigger then A5. At a guess its maybe 24 x 18cm? Its been a while since I've done any digital colouring so might give it a burl! Although I need to rescan it in after I clean the scanner. Just noticed all the crap the scanner has picked up off the glass. Lovely! :P
Some great stuff posted!!
Gibson Quarter, that rocks.

wow some really good stuff posted over the last couple of days. Saw MarkChilly's piece this morning when I was still half asleep. woke me up it did. Great way to start the day. :)
Thanks - it is a horror style retelling of the Oz story.
Richdraws - that's really f*cking good, and it makes me want to read the comic immediately! Top stuff.
Cheers fella. I will post more stuff but I don't want to get into it feeling like advertising.
Richdraws - You're clearly a smart fellow could you help me with some enquiries?
1 - If I eat your brain will I gain your outstanding drawing abilities?
2 - Where do you live exactly? I want to eat your brain.
I don't live in Sheffield. So don't look there. :-X
wow bloody marvelous stuff chaps... keep them coming!!
Oh, forgot to mention MarkChillys pic. I saw the second pasrt of that today. I think someone on my Facebook had linked to it....I don't know whats going on in the strip, but It's peaked my interest. Whats it for? Looks excellent. ;)
Shhhheeeeiit- good work Markchilly and Richdraws.

Why hasn't Dredd locked horns with Hellboy before? That'd be a fun team-up.

Great art. And slightly disturbed that the split spinal column looks like a zip being undone...
A quick two pager for a friends 'art zine'. The theme was 'Vices' and so I came up with this. I did it as a timed exercise, completed over this weekend from start to finish. It's a little rough in places but what the hey!

any one have problems posting?
ARRRRR!!! I seriously give up any time I try to add a link to my photobucket pic and a link to a facebook group it refuses to post! It just goes to a white screen, am I violating something??

Remember it's BB code if you are copying and pasting links etc, raw HTML won't work.
So I give up trying to post a photo bucket link as it just peaks out when I do it. So I've compressed the crap out of it again and have attached it.
So I have typed this out about 5 times BUT! Grim that pinup is rad! :)
Whoo Hoo!! That worked. Lets see if I can get the Facebook link up now!
This was done for the Ozcomics facebook group weekly sketch thing. If you'd like to see the rest, check them out here:

Looking good Malicious!
You might want to consider Flickr, it's really easy to share with facebook/twitter etc, and will write you either HTML / BB code to paste in forums and the like.

If I recall, the size of a linkable image is limited to 700 pixels in width, maybe that was your problem, Malicious?

Neil - photobucket is usually very forum friendly, which is why I have the account. But I might look in to the Flickr account anyhow, thanks! By the wa,y awesome pic! You've got a great sense of form.
for an upcoming project, looking for some crit on the colouring. I've been trying out some new things and wondered how well they work. I'm pretty pleased with it myself. Any thoughts.

Danbell - Liking the colour job alot. Some very nice, subtle texturing going on there, very effective. I have a tendancy to fade my backgrounds into darkness too much, there's alot i can learn here!

I'm not sure I like the big bold texture over the sun - but the washed-out muted colours work really well on the ground and that.
Is the 'texture' in front of the sun actually a flock of birdpeople? I wondered, as there's a winged woman in the foreground...

Also cheers for your kind comments, Doombot and Staticgirl!
@JayzusB.Christ - Cool! Looks great, what was it like working so BIG? I've never tackled anything much bigger than A2, can't imagine where you would start with this cracking mural..
Thanks, Neil! To tell the truth I'm not really a stranger to huge paintings, I did a mural course years ago and have done quite a few since then. The biggest one I designed was on a five-storey car park - though I left the course before they started painting it. It's still there, but a bit shabby and crumbled these days.
Back then we used to plan everything carefully and grid up the walls; though with that Manchester one I was pretty much making it up as I went along. I used plumb-lines for verticals and a string attached to blu-tac for perspective lines (the vanishing point is right in the middle of Ian Brown's face, but I just found that out halfway through the mural).
Though I've never done it myself, a good way to plan out murals is to use a projector - just project the image on the wall and trace the lines.
(On the downside, I've now become obsessed with Joy Division and can't get their depressing but really good songs out of my head.)

:lol: Of course, Simply Red, M People, Take That and Frank Sidebottom are also in it, but they're just off-camera. It's actually a bit hard to reach, it's in a wholesaler's on Westmoreland St called Fabric (beside Cassidy's pub, part of the same building as Blacktie). In any case I painted the windows of Cassidy's beside it in a comic-stylee, so you can look at that instead :)
In other news, I'm off to Thailand on Sunday for the foreseeable future; I'll be having a pint in the Courtyard tonight at 8 so feel free to join me!
Ah balls! Can't make it tonight. Hope Thailand works out for you...bet it's not half as cool as Leixlip though
From what I hear, it nearly, but not quite, matches Leixlip's ladyboy count. Cheers anyway, Johnny, pity you can't make it but hopefully see you and Lila again before too long
Fantastic work, JBC. Hope Thailand goes well for you.
My comic goes on sale tomorrow, first time I have drawn one. I'm really nervous about how it's received. Any other artists remember their first time ;)
I hope some of you get chance to pick a copy up. Its a 5 issue mini series. (http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/013/5/d/unused_art_from_no_place_like_home_by_richdraws-d4m99ec.jpg)

Something a trifle unfoxlike - but this is an album cover I recently did for a mate's band. Izzall textures n stuff innit?
(http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/426553_260365067377284_115432855203840_648963_952853176_n.jpg)
The airport in Thailand smells really nice.
Fox - Liking that alot. What background texture have you used? Looks like wood chippings at first, but eventually becomes an acid flash-back!
Inspired by this, i thought i'd post these up again. Two album covers i did for a mate.

He's a rapper, calls himself 'Psycosis Holochaust(sic)'. I've mentioned the miss-spelling, but he says he does it on purpose. :|
Here's a couple of links to his stuff. Normally, i hate this kinda stuff, but he raps about slaying orcs and hunting dragons which is kinda cool, i guess! (There is swearing though, NSFW)

Woolly that rapper is one lucky chap - ! Those are bloody incredible, your stuff'd look amazing on a cover actually... hmmmm. HMM I SAY.
Uh, yes, the texture IS like, bark fragments but there's also some "vintage paper" in there to dilute it a little!
Dig that logo CFM very nice textures. Great cover art Woolly, the rappers from West Yorks accent-wise Id hazard a guess at..
Keeping on the current theme of 'art for music' here is some of mine on the link below. Anthromorphic cassette tapes with axes and the like. Music is me too along with my psycho-delic ganxsta homies. Even uppity goths can like it :lol:

Very nice! I can see why he likes it, it complements his style very smoothly. Have you ever submitted any colouring work to Tharg?

For the Weekly TAB
Bit of a Work in Progress but this is what I have been working on this weekend. Looking at Edmund Bagwell's art for Cradlegrave was a huge help as I was having trouble making the hoodie look like a hoodie... It's not been a hardship staring at his work for ages..
(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/064/3/d/3d710272c024e13f75a65b31ba1d2488-d4rtnm0.jpg)
Yep you've got that bob on and using Baggers was a good idea, otherwise you'd have to have done some very quick real life sketches while hoping certain rough sorts didn't spot you.
As an aside doesn't a hoodie/baseball cap combo (useful for avoiding CCTV cameras) have its own term?
Like that Static.

I did end up with the unenviable task of designing Peter Griffin's penis for the show once. After much debate with some of the show's upper echelons we came to the conclusion that in order to remain married to Lois for so long Peter was probably, to use a 2000ad euphemism, sporting a number 3 cartridge...
(Although according to the show, Chris is even more... uh... dangerously armed...!)
Sooo cool!

This is a little Dredd as practise with inks before i get started on a Dredd strip (which is itself practise before I start work on a strip for the next Dogbreath). would appreciate any comments.

Well OK - the thing that strikes me are the folds, they look almost like exposed bone (a bit like the monster Dredd in the recent Armitage), so you might want to do some practice sketches of folded cloth to get your eye in. Also I'd not expect a Judge's uniform to be quite so "baggy" anyway, so that could have been toned down a bit.

thanks Emperor, you're right, i'm not happy how that turned out and have be drawing his suit less baggy in subsequent appearances. I'm guessing everything else looks about right then?

It's Simon Fraser's birthday and he's like - my biggest inspiration ever so I like, TOTALLY drew him a picture of Dante but it's like LAME AS therefore defeating it's own purpose lol - go and wish him happy birthday he really is the living yes.
That's brilliant! :)

Sorry, dude, your linework is excellent, but you also need to get some life drawing in. You don't necessarily need to go to art class, just google the pose you want and draw it with Dredd's clothes and face. As for creased clothing, I found that studying the effects of light on cylinders worked for me. Hope you don't mind being critiqued, but if you're going to try a Dredd strip, you're standing on the shoulders of giants. Keep it up though, you'll get there!

Agree with emps, also the head is a bit big so You might want to check your anatomy and proportions. Otherwise good effort.

Yes, I think "work on your anatomy" is the most common reply from Tharg when people show their work to him. So I think everyone can assume they always need to work on their anatomy, then when they think they've nailed it, work on it some more. If you've got a camera with a timer take some shots of yourself in the pose and study the proportions, angles and how cloth moves as the body moves underneath.
Or just pause movies and take screenshots.

But not the kind of movies Greg Land watches.
I hope this isn't getting boring, but we had a system failure at work so I started another Dredd. This took about 3 hrs and done while i was working but surprisingly i reckon it's better in a number of ways than other sketches i do when I'm not making phone calls at the same time.
http://nemesisbeast.deviantart.com/art/sneaky-dredd-sketch-290429895
Yeah, much better. Possibly look into the foreshortening - the right hand looks a little big and the right leg a little small, but still... a great improvement.

This is for a psychic-ish girl story I am illustrating. The pic proved unexpectedly popular when I posted it on Facebook earlier even though I deliberately didn't polish it as much as usual as it's only a character design shot. I did the colours because I was losing the paintbrush icon in all the grey but it reminded me of old comics colouring and orange is the colour of the 70s. It wasn't even going to be set in the 70s until I said to the author how it reminded me of old movies and comics and we got all inspired.
I was also inspired by a stunning set of photographs taken in the late 70s by a then teacher, George Plemper, of the people who lived in the area around Thamesmead which are well worth a look.

Excellent work, looks just the ticket for a modern girls comic set in the 70s.

Bonjour. Just sharing this Kano portrait I made for Ming as a thank you for tracking down a very elusive comic I had been hunting for (since 2005!). Love this forum :)
Great use of colour there Ghostpockets.
Superb Kano pic, ghostpockets - really excellent work (and bonus points for giving him the BCII furry coat!)
A cracking Kano!!
Wow, Ghostpockets, thats a cracker!
Yeah, it looks great. The uncoloured version is even better, I think... Will post up a bigger pic when I get it in hand. Many thanks again to Ghostpockets for this one!

Nice work Ghostpockets
Did this today:
(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g392/DoodlebotOfDoom/2000ad/bugeater2_2kad.jpg)
Still practising, but here are the first two pages of a visual Dredd story I concocted after Carlos Ezquerra said my artwork needed more action.
(http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2012/086/d/7/judge_dredd___lawmaster_page_1_by_nemesisbeast-d4u2yf8.jpg)
(http://th01.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2012/086/0/b/judge_dredd___lawmaster_page_2_by_nemesisbeast-d4u2yja.jpg)
The second page is bloody awesome - you're actually really progressing I think! Although I don't think when Dredd arrests people he leaves receipts! Perhaps you could have had him tied to a "capture post" or whatever those things are. When judges have arrested someone but don't have time to stay with them waiting for the wagon, they handcuff them to these pole things.
Just sayin' - but yeah, you've kicked the dynamism up a bloody tonne. You doing any other small press this year apart from Dr WTF?
Cheers CFM,
I did consider doing something else for Judge Dredd other than the reciept thing, but I have intended this story to be readable for the uninitiated and wanted to get across that Dredd would happily dish out a ten-stretch for the pettiest of crimes just because he's in a hurry, before the action starts proper - and i couldn't think of any other way to do this in just pictures.
Thanks for the awesome feedback - after I've finished this one for the portfolio I'm starting work on a six-pager for the autumn 2012 Dogbreath.
Ghostpockets' Kano is fab!
And Ross those are a nice looking pair of pages! :)
I do remember past examples of Dredd "trusting" people to report to their local sector house while he speeds off to deal with other things. The "trust" presumably coming from the fact that PSU would knowif they didn't and send the judges a judging. Receipts seem to fit in with that idea.
I hope i haven't broken any artist ettiquette, but hoping to enfuse a sense of human proportion on my mind, i have borrowed the pose and layout from this fantastic piece by Simon Fraser:
http://simonfraser.deviantart.com/#/d4foixt
and came up with this:

Looks great from here.
I don't think there's a problem with borrowing another artist's layout if it's fully acknowledged as a learning opportunity (rather than a commercial one) and you've chosen to borrow from a nice bloke who isn't likely to go thermonuclear too. He might well be flattered.
And in a lot of professional art, 'quotations' are going on all the time, especially the Last Supper by Da Vinci. It's often to make a point or for fun.

And adding a note to the piece (as has been done) is seen as good form.

Well its my first go with my new wonderful wonderful Cintiq and Manga Studio so there's a host of mistakes as I've learnt. Its a colourist's nightmare (thank the maker there's not much lettering too huh!) and the composition could have been so much better. That said as it was my first go and a massive learning curve, with so much more I need to learn, I'm pretty happy with this, even though I kinda hate it! It's a gift for my Godson's B'day, oh and rushing at the end meant I copied the pterodactyl's from Calvin and Hobbes (apologise to Bill Watterson). The actual piece will be A3.

Nice work Colin. You coloured that in Manga Studio too or just the lineart?
I coloured it using Manga Studio... I've never computer coloured before so there was no way I was trying to learn to packages!
I'm still to work out vectors etc so I kept it very simple.

Would they be Illuminaughty? Manchester based Cirque de freaque?(sic) Because the photo worked with there is of a friend of mine who does plenty of the fire writing with photographers on hand where ever the troop go. They may be the same troop you've witnessed.
Those photos are from the Big Green Gathering 2005.
Me and my friends had a miscommunication about which substances were due to be necked on which night, which led to me wandering the site off my tits alone over one night, during which I took loads of freaky photos and videos.

Sorry, terrible joke.
I like it. Good choice of brushes, no real lag when drawing. Layers are easy to use. I'd like a paintbucket tool though.
If only I had some talent I might be able to do something better on it. It's ease of use is encouraging me to do more on it. I must get a better stylus, I'm using a really cheap one but it does work OK.

Been a while since I posted on this thread and just wanted to say there's been some amazing stuff recently - top work everyone. Those Dark Judges in particular Markchilly, very creepy indeed.
Done a few more Game of Thrones characters lately:

Woah! Is all I can say!
Been slowly working my way through this thread through most of the day (when I should be working!).
I'm up to page 60 and my mind is blown! Some absolutely INCREDIBLE artists on here!
A few standouts so far:
Simon Penter
PJM
MarkChilly
Alex
CrazyFoxMachine
MyGrimBrother
DanCornwell
Really amazing stuff! Would love to work with one of you if not all of you on something one day!

The consensus so far is that it may need a few words, so if any writers feel like having a backwards go at a script, by all means have a go.
Wow! Nice work Ross! I usually prefer some of the more oldskool Dredd artwork (Nick Percival for example) but there's something fresh about your take on things here. I'll have a look and a think over my lunch break and see if I can come up with anything suitable for it if you want?.

My take on Modesty Blaise for The Weekly Themed Art Blog, the theme on which this week is espionage
Hi all,
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/the_lazy_otter/art_stuff/Digital%20painting/DreddHead.jpg)
I've been lurking here for a while now, but it's only recently that I've got in to digital painting. I was a big fan of 2000 AD back in the day, and I've always enjoyed drawing ol' stoney face, possibly because he only has the one facial expression and it's hard to screw it up.
I was never any cop as an analogue painter. I'd invariably make a mistake, get annoyed, try to undo the damage, make it worse, get more annoyed and give up. Consequently I never finished anything. Obviously it's not a problem when I'm painting digitally - being able to correct mistakes at the touch of a button has been hugely liberating.
Another Dredd, drawn on the iPad with Procreate.

ink wash experiment over a Slaine sketch - he is about to go into a serious spasm

Really beautiful.
That Modesty Balise is indeed v beautiful.
Great Slaine - he's about to do some serious damage but i like how it also looks a bit painful as well as beautiful.
Nightbook - That's why I took up digital painting too. It's very liberating....
It's interesting how different JD's face is with each artist, everyone sees something new about him.

Oh and nice Slaine Terrapin! :D
Couple of 10 minute portraits I inked up and toned in photoshop for practice:

(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww14/mygrimmbrother/GraceKellytones3web.jpg)
Only 10 minutes?! These are awesome!!
I'm in awe of the muscle structure and the foreshortening on that Slaine. I'm particularly impressed with the underside of his arm and the way his fingers are interacting with the handle of the axe. I suspect if I'd drawn those fingers they'd be infinitely more sausage-like. :/
Can anyone recommend a decent book on anatomy and muscle structure? Or even any online resources? Years of doodling Dredd's oh-so sunny visage have left me ill-equipped to do anything other than mugshots. I should probably expand my repetoire a bit.

The atlas of foreshortening is useful for, um, foreshortening;

The Virtual Pose series is pretty useful, not least because it comes with a disc full of QT templates that let you spin the pose round at your whim.

Thanks Nightbook glad you liked it! As for books id recommend Drawing the clothed figure by Barbara Bradley - sounds strange i know but holds a wealth of knowledge on figure drawing. For dynamic poses and foreshortening id recommend Force by Michael Mattesi. I look in these books all the time and always learn something new. If you want a book on muscles I think the best thing to do is get a muscle mag and anatomy diagram. Its what i do and you do get funny looks from the newsagent, but if its what you want to draw i think its the best way.
Hello,
messing with colour.
(http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq60/markchilcott/dredd2copy.jpg)
NICE!
So, I've got this new drawing board, right?
Figured I'd have a go at doing something 'a bit different', so I've put this together over a few evenings:
(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/136/f/b/kenshiro_by_hde2009-d500sjm.jpg)
For the benefit of anyone looking at it and going 'Uh? What's that?', it's Kenshiro, the lead from the anime show 'Fist Of The North Star'. I've been watching it recently, as I acquired the whole thing on DVD - and IT IS GLORIOUS!
It's also EXTREMELY violent.
Chilly it don't need sayin' they be some ffinnne colours. Oh, I just said it. HdE nice pose - colours remind me o' Darren Stephens for some reason.

Hey Rorschach, thanks dude. I should point out though that these images didn't take 10 minutes, but the original pencil drawings did. I do workl quickly but don't time myself on the inks/tones.

Somebody elsewhere mentioned they thought it could do with a little extra rendering, and I'll admit I think there's some truth to that. I may tweak this some more when I get five minutes.
Also: hands. They are much harder to draw than you would think. At least, they are if you're me. :-\
Since moving to Japan VanDom, writer of Vanguard http://www.facebook.com/vandomonium has fallen in love with the place. So much so that in the next issue he wanted a set of postcard matching Vanguard's characters with some deeply loved landmarks of Japan.
Here's Duncan with Hichako proving his faithfulness. Though his methods may differ quite a bit. This is by myself. And thanks to Dom I learnt a lot over the weekend.

Cheers to Jon and Terrapin for the suggestions re: muscle structure and foreshortening - it's much appreciated! I thought I'd have a bash at something approaching a full body shot:
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/the_lazy_otter/art_stuff/Digital%20painting/Dredd3.jpg)
Mixed feelings about this one. I kind of half-arsed it towards the end because I was getting a bit fed up with it. I'm quite pleased with the shading on the jumpsuit and the foreshortening on Dredd's left hand. Also the eagle looks nominally eagle shaped (which isn't always the case when I draw them). I'll admit to bodging the Lawgiver (I didn't have the confidence to foreshorten it) and Dredd's left shoulder pad is so badly painted it looks out of focus (which I guess is an achievement of sorts).
I do think Dredd is quite difficulty to draw well. There's a high level of detail present in his uniform; I actually find it pretty hard to do it justice (please don't ever get me started on that bloody name badge).
Another Dredd:
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/the_lazy_otter/art_stuff/Digital%20painting/Dredd_2.jpg)
Initially I wasn't going to have him firing the Lawgiver but I couldn't get it to look right so I took the easy option and obscured it with a muzzle flash. Still looks a little off but not as bad as it did. Other than that I'm generally pleased with it.
Good work! My only criticism, and its only preference really, but I prefer the dark visor on Dredd's helmet.
Thanks! I agree the visor could do with a bit of TLC. Unfortunately my tablet is a bit sensitive and makes detailed line drawing more of a chore than it should be. That said, I've probably learnt enough from the last pic to get around it. I'll have a proper go at it next time. :D
It's favorite character time on the Weekly TAB, so here's two of my favorite non 2000AD characters.

This isn't an Emperor 4 pages is it? Cos that would be, um....six.
Yeah, I think so. It depends what you mean by 'end of the year' and what's needed, but I'd love to take a look. You can PM or mail me direct.

For a song sleeve.(I went with the fire rhino I posted earlier) Ripped from Rocket. A gonzo comic publication found at Fantagraphics.
Just got back up to date with this thread again, great stuff all round. Nightbook's Armitage pics are particularly eye-catching, a very Charlie Adlard look to them which is rather fitting :)
Did this for my mate's birthday a few weeks back. Its the two main characters from our currently-being-written comic 'The Curious Casebook of Drake Tempest', Drake Tempest and Milton Keynes.
It's a bit rushed and shabby, but hopefully you'll get the homage...

Haha, this is something I struggle with - knowing when to step away from a painting isn't easy. I'm always tempted to add a bit more polish, to tidy up the rough edges, but it's often counter-productive and if I overdo it the end result feels too clean and sterile. Sometimes I feel as if I've painted the life out of the picture - which is kinda the case with that second Armitage pic (I really love the first pic but the second one... not so much).
The pictures that are a bit rougher often feel as if they have more energy to them, but I find it immensely difficult to get the balance right.

Yeah. I think art's about looooong a series of epiphanies really. From my experience I'd say just push it as far as possible. The beauty of working digitally, of course, is you can make as many iterative backups as you like (I tend to work in Dropbox these days as it does it for me) so there's really nothing to lose. At some stage you
have to risk making a mess and ruining what you
thought you had 'cos, unfortunately, all the really good stuff's usually on the other side of that.
I find it can help to stay looser too - start with a few strokes, a patch of colour, be fairly chaotic; it'll help add and elements that you can work into. Then you're more free to adapt and make changes as you go. You've really gotta make sure the basics are right before you start polishing or it's just a huge waste of effort, but it should ultimately help deliver that energy you're looking for.
Largely though it depends what you're actually aiming for. The above piece I put up was a way of keeping my hand in at producing a "speed-paint"* that conveyed what I needed it to in 3 or 4 hours (in my job I only get to produce concept work some of the time, the rest of it being taken up with the tedious bullshit that is actually computer games art**. But I might get someone needing something by the afternoon, and I've fallen foul of allowing myself to get rusty in the past). If, however, I was planning on using it for a print cover, for example, then I'd consider it to still be largely at the under-painting stage, and be probably looking at another couple of days to get it up to standard. And I'd add some sort of background or context.
Alex Ronald's blog title sums it up beautifully; "Never finished only abandoned".
*For the record, I hate the term "speed-paint". There's no such bloody thing, okay? It's just PAINTING at different levels of finish.

I checked out your website, and the concept of Jenny Everywhere (the idea of an open source character is fascinating) seems perfectly realised in your gorgeous interpretation. I'm seeing
Tintin (http://bhuwanchand.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/tintin-in-tibet-crashed-plane.jpg) and

Now that is cool, Chilly.
While you were wasting time colouring that in you could have been drawing a man who can telepathically control a stealth fighter by thinking in Russian. Poor time management Mark, very poor. What's the problem, are you planning to live forever?
Bloody brilliant, mind.

Wow, that's really rather lovely. The crosshatching in particular is amazing - very judiciously used. I also like the blood splatter in the bottom right corner. Can I ask how you went about achieving those effects?
Really liked markchilly's homage to Mr. Eastwood with one minor caveat: I would've liked to have seen them in chronological order, with Gran Torino Clint acting as a kind of full stop. That might just be my OCD kicking in though. Other than that it's perfect.
Compliments also to kylestrahm - excellent composition and linework, and stubbly hobo Batman is the best Batman!
QuoteI also like the blood splatter in the bottom right corner. Can I ask how you went about achieving those effects?
That's just where he spilt his coffee and decided to incorporate it into the page! ;)
That is a crackin' panel Neil, I love the balance between black & white in your work. Superb use of crosshatching on the forearm too.
Nice colour palette there Danbell.
Everyone does love Clint (Eastwood that is.) Nice one Markchilly.

This is an old one. I got a print of this image done last year for my living room wall but was never satisfied with the end result for various reasons - the main one being the inks, which looking back totally spoiled the original drawing. So today I decided to go back to the original sketches and rework it - inking digitally this time. I was far rougher and looser with the inks this time round and I'm infinitely happier with the result - it retains a lot more of the energy of the original sketch. I was also much heavier with the shading than I normally would be and think it makes for a much moodier piece.
Going to try out a few new colour schemes to see what works. Ideally want to keep in quite bold and minimalist - I'm open to suggestions!

Cheers Jim, great minds think alike!
I've been working on a Dredd movie poster print for a while now - this is actually my second aborted attempt.
I quite like aspects of it, but in the end I think I rushed it a bit and there are so many little things about it that bother me (Dredd's legs/hands, angle of the buildings, Peach Trees block looking all wrong because I didn't have any reference for it, the buildings in general looking a bit shit etc) I decided to scrap it and start again - after all, if I'm going to frame the damn thing and hang it on my wall, it better be something I'm 100% happy with (or as near as possible). Third attempt is coming along well, will post here if I ever get the time to finish it!
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/Dredd_Poster_Low.jpg)
Cool,your pencils are way neater than my scruffy offerings.
I never draw from scratch these days - these 'pencils' are actually scanned-in thumbnail sketches (literally a couple of inches tall), composited together and quickly sketched over in Photoshop, then printed out at low opacity onto A3 paper for me to do the proper pencils over.
Sounds long-winded but I find it speeds me up in the long run - takes a lot of the pain out of the sketching stage - I used to wear out the drawing surface with so much erasing and redoing. So much easier with all the composition and anatomy loosely in place to draw over and build on, though it didn't help in this case, obviously!
Ahh never thought of doing owt like that,cool.
Nice.
I particularly like the very young gangly looking Anderson.
Excellent work radiator, and I thought I was the only one to have a long-winded approach to drawing. Due to a lack of confidence and a penchant for f***ing up. I tend to sketch on A4, then trace and refine the image on tracing paper, turn over to follow the lines and make any other alterations before turning over again and repeating the process to get the image onto the paper. then pencil over the faint tracing line and finally ink. This is probably why i'm so bloody slow. ;)
Stew.
here's page 1 of a 4-page summary of a graphic novel idea i have for the story of Sir Francis Drake - i'm a sucker for history as well as the future - this is him dying of Dysentry aboard his ship off the coast of Panama, and starting the story off by remembering his childhood in Devon and being uprooted from the town of his birth.

Oh so very very very very very much THIS.
I was made too frightened to try. Still am.
Don't know if this has been posted somewhere else on the board, but here's a one panel preview of the Anderson strip I did for the next Zarjaz (script by Lee Robson).
An experiment in Manga Studio EX which was a dream to use.
http://thequaequamblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/coming-soon-anderson-psi-i-death.html (http://thequaequamblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/coming-soon-anderson-psi-i-death.html)
This sums up my experience of art education...
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--gsDv6lvVbw/T0UrS7ThS8I/AAAAAAAAB9s/HIlLAWouyRY/s1600/2007-10-19-Wrong2.jpg)
Hmmm. This is interesting, I hear this sort of opinion a lot. Is it true, or is this just some perception of what we think art education should be?
Just to put an alternative point of view across (I'm not trying to start a fight)...
I had similar experiences, I guess because a/ I already thought I was infinitely more talented than those who taught me and b/ I just wanted to draw comics and Judge Zippy 'n' stuff in art lessons, whereas they wanted me to study the play of light and the form of tomatoes, or at the very least glance at basic anatomy and perspective if I insisted on drawing comics, etc. To learn to look and be critical and analytical, basically. I didn't though. I was an arrogant bloody pain, to be quite honest.
Years later when I found myself "doing art" for a living I realised that they, of course, were right and were really only trying to develop my ability. I ended up having to revisit some of those first principles that I really should have acknowledged in the first place.
I suppose even art teachers have agendas and lesson plans they have to adhere to (I'm married to teacher now so I have a little more sympathy, perhaps). After all, it's not like you can just sit and draw triangles all day in a maths class cos that's the bit you like.
Now I'm not saying that you should attempt to take all that spontaneous creativity out of a child, or anyone who just wants to enjoy art for the pure joy of it. But looking back, when I was very young I had the opposite problem, and needed prompting and encouragement to do anything more than the bare minimum, and I only ever remember people encouraging me to try different things.
For those who want to do it professionally though there are rules just like everything else and one of the things I find regularly confounding as an art director in the games industry is the increasing number of young 'artists' who are highly proficient in using tools, but don't have the first idea about composition or basic colour theory, or seem to think that the sky itself was originated in Halo, etc.
I dunno, maybe I was just lucky. But I don't think so.
What sort of ages of art education did people find frustrating? And how so?
When I was about 10 years old and at primary school, we used to get a one hour art lesson, once a week, from a qualified art teacher.
One week, he wanted us to draw 'a pebbly beach'. Someone asked if we could draw boats in the background, and he said we could put whatever we wanted into the picture as long as it was relevant and the main focus was on the pebbly beach. So, everyone started drawing their pictures of pebbles on a beach, including things like boats and lighthouses. Someone close to where I was sitting drew a mermaid on a rock.
I drew a shark's fin sticking out the water with an arrow pointing at it and the words "GUESS WHO?" written above it.
When the art teacher saw what I'd done, he went ballistic. He got very loud, looked like he was about to burst a blood vessel and started ranting about how it was a 'serious art lesson' and how dare I make a mockery of the task I'd been set. I didn't think I'd done anything wrong, if I had I'd probably have been terrified at his sudden outburst, but I just couldn't believe how angry he was getting over such a trivial thing and just stood there gawping at him in disbelief. As punishment for my apparent transgression, I was to miss the next week's lesson and would have to sit in the main classroom by myself, while the rest of my class went to the art room.
So, I told my parents about the mental art teacher banning me from art and why he'd done so. They didn't think it was justified either, complained to the school, and I'm guessing said teacher stormed off in a huff, because he didn't come back. From that point on we got another art teacher who was far less aggressive. The other bloke did apparently return to the school a few years later, but by that point, I was attending high school.
I've often wondered if he once knew someone who was eaten by shark.
I'll be honest -- mostly, I wanted to learn to draw, and our art department spent most of its time whiffling on about how stuff made us feel. I already understood enough about art (my parents weren't artists, but the house was full of books on artists from the Renaissance through to Picasso) to understand that I needed to know how to draw before I could develop a style of my own.*
(Consequently, art as a subject was am exercise in frustration and I dropped it in favour of Technical Drawing, which resulted in my lifelong love of perspective...)
TBH, my previous post about school and career advisors was more intended to rail against the overwhelming culture that trammels you into the GCSE -> A-Level -> Degree -> Office Job path that they still seem to be peddling twenty-five years after I left school and got a degree that did me no good whatsoever in terms of employment...
It's bollocks. Find something you enjoy and that you're good at, and try your level best to get people to pay you for it.
Cheers
Jim

Superb! Reminds me of Boo Cook's explanation (though1 I'm doubtless paraphrasing as alcohol was involved); " If I could I'd portray space people doing space things totally photographically realistically, but I can't, so that's how I draw."
Obviously
far more succinct. ;)
Perhaps if any of my art tutors and teachers had been slightly interested in teaching me draughtsmanship I'd not have minded so much that they thought the commercial arts I loved (including comics) were 'not real art'. It was all about 'expressing yourself' and later about the sort of installations you see in art galleries now and which I think are complete piss taking crap.
I got cowed into doing the GCSE -> A-Level -> Degree -> Office Job thing and I'm too timid to do anything else. I'm also miserable.
If there are any young folk on this board who are thinking about their future options for god's sakes follow your heart if you can. If your tutors are just as bad just get a copy of one of Andrew Loomis's books and learn to draw from them instead. Also work on your self confidence and courage so you can take the setbacks and hold on to your goal.
On a lighter note - Phuz and Dunk _ excellent work there! Phuz - as you can tell, your strip is very thought and emotion provoking plus a great style too. Dunk - that's a cool looking Anderson.
Went to a night with "children's illustrators" in Bristol last night, a lot of them commercial successful and highly talented. They told me unreservedly that I'd made a huge mistake not doing an arts degree (I did archaeology) and that I should "go back to school" and learn all the "proper" methods before even thinking of adopting my own style or expressing myself artistically. feh.
I gave up art at GCSE because all I ever wanted to do was draw comics and at every turn all my teachers could say was "it's not art". I got D's in everything and I hated every second of it.

Quote from: Jon on 01 August, 2012, 06:22:53 PMWhat sort of ages of art education did people find frustrating? And how so?
Foundation level. Seemed all anyone wanted to teach me was how to be a pretentious. I just wanted to learn how to draw better. I stropped off in a huff and missed out on allot of good stuff I've had to go back and learn later.

Blimey, Woolly, that's jaw-dropping stuff. Sepia has never seemed so sinister! Menacingly beautiful work.
Superb woolly. Absolutely cracking! :o
Very solid work Woolly, you've improved LOADS since I've last been around :D
Thanks gents, kind words.
I'll try and get a finished version up soon. :)
Yeah, sterling work, Woolly.
Bloody good work indeed Wolly. And thanks for the advice Jim, I let her know what you said. I think she was just chuffed someone had a look at it.
That's a fantastic illustration! I wouldn't know it wasn't finished if you didn't say so.
I love the mood and the sepia tones. It's so sinister!
Superb Woody, love the atmosphere.
Here's my latest attempt. Time is so short these days as an exercise I've made myself not faff with this (hence a load of problems) but on the plus side done in a little over three hours so that's a boon!

Great work Colin and Darren. Look forward to seeing more of those characters.
Great work guys.
I've done this for my boss's 50th Birthday. He's a very patriotic Italian who has lived in the north west of England for the past 46 years, so he's more northern than most!
Back in the summer 1982 when he was 20 he buggered off to Spain to watch the World Cup - Espania 82, which Italy won. So I thought it would be a great idea to immortalise him as a member of the Italy squad as a Panini Football sticker... come on, you all remember them!

This has been a long time coming - started and scrapped it twice. A Dredd movie fan-poster, one of a series of pulpy action movie prints I'm doing - previously I've done Predator. Gonna print them up for my living room wall.
Not sure which logo to go with:
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/Dredd_a.jpg)
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/Dredd_b.jpg)
Seriously dig your stuff, Radiator! First logo if I had to choose one.
Thanks!
QuoteFirst logo if I had to choose one.
Yeah me too. I think that's the logo they used for the actual film titles, though that's just an educated guess.
I really like that. Defo first logo.
Thats great, I'm really impressed Radiator.
Very RAD!
Difficult choice radiator. The first Logo looks similar to the one they used in some promotion thingy but the 2nd is nicely sparse; lean and mean and a excellent design incorporating the 3D Logo as well.
Great work btw I think DNA should ref this for a photo montage version. Not sure how'd they'd get the 'psychic vibe' halo surrounding Andersons head though.
I can't tell you how much I want that Radiator picture as a print. Either one. I'll buy twenty.

One of the odder things that happened this week - went to see Baroness at The Fleece Bristol. Enjoyed their set immensely and captured a photo of their singer/guitarist/awesome cover artist Mr John Baizley that I planned to draw up at some point as a bit of UNNECESSARY FAN ART.
Then the next day as they were leaving Bristol their tour bus crashed. The band, three crew and the driver were all injured. The driver, as I write, is still critical - the band and crew all suffering from fractures and broken bits.
Weird. Severely weird. So I drew Mr Baizley anyway and it would probably come across as a severely blinkered tribute to the nine injured men if I called it that so I'm not. All I'm saying is that Baroness kicked some arse that particular night and that I hope that all band and crew are all fixed up soon and ready to roll on.

Going to be showing a piece of art in a gallery here in Los Angeles. Bit nervous. Never showed something like this before. Theme of the show is fallen rock stars so naturally, Phil Lynott gets a shout-out. This is just a tight sketch done on the Cintiq. I've inked up one on bristol board for the show.
(http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee49/blackmocco/Untitled-11212.jpg)
Magnificent blackmocco.
Yeah, spot on likeness.
That's excellent, really captures something of Phil's well-known devil-may-care cheekiness.
That's Lynottastic :D Really gorgeous - wish I could visit the gallery!

Not long ago I bought a cheapo sketchbook and brush pen with the plan to knock out regular drawings. Got fed up with doodling on scraps on paper. I tried to manage a drawing a day but that's not going to happen so it will be a drawing every now and then. I've bashed out a few and here is the first, old stoney face of course. I've neglected drawing, especially on paper so hope to keep this up, time permitting. Not sure yet about the brush pen yet. I find the tip dries up quickly which affects quality of the line. By the time it's washed out that's half a cartridge of ink gone. I will persevere.
Thought I might as well post something. This was a poster from earlier this year that did the rounds in the borough. The competition that it promoted is long done but I'm told that people have kept the posters up because the kids like them - probably my biggest complement so far! Influenced by the work by e-boy, but in pixel dimensions about twice the size of their largest city scenes (I really did myself in by being a bit over ambitious, the damn thing took forever).
(http://www.jacobturner.co.uk/images/London%20Calling.jpg)
By the way, if anyone has advice on how to best display large pixel-art pieces on websites and make them easy to view, please let me know.
This was in the doodle thread yesterday, but decided to persivere and finish it up. I learnt quitea bit from doing this one completely digitel, so not a complete waste of time, eh. :)

Around 100 hours, I think. I worked on it on and off for about 6 months - it was supposed to be work-time only, but once I started I knew I couldn't justify the time so I put in about an hour a day when I could. They get quicker, though as you get to re-use assets from previous work. I'm thinking of doing a Mega City One, now...

Thanks (and everyone). Errrr, I'm not sure, it's something i've just kinda prodded at when I've had a spare half hour here and there. So, it's been around for months, though I didn't touch it again til recently. Probably about 12 hours total cos it's not very big. It's meant as part of a series of postcards of movie-type apocalypse events destroying Brighton.

I think these need polishing a bit though. At this rate I'll probably be finished shortly before the real apocalypse.
Holy moley, those are superb, Jon. :o
woah, they're awesome! You sir are very talented :)
I love them (and I love Brighton!)
Brighton Shocks? Super stuff Jon.
Wow!
Just... wow!
Stunning stuff!
Great stuff, that kind of thing could kickstart the postcard market in Brighton!!

awesome Darren! Love the robot design. Was this for/from something or just for fun? its wicked :)
Very cool robot, Darren.
Cheers all.
Vzzbux, heh, looks like the robot/bandana club is on the rise!
Batdan4ever, thans, but it's just for fun. :)
Chris, thank you very much. :)
Amazing work all.

oooh - I'll be getting mine framed soon (thanks again :D:D:D)
A quick for fun project I've been working on the last couple of nights.
Star Destroyer model built in Maya in just over an hour, then the starfield, planet and lighting all painted in Photoshop. I used blueprints to get the scale and dimensions spot on in Maya and a reference pic to base the shot on and get a screen authentic look.

Wish I could get my level artists to work that quickly.
Looks really convincing. How did you create the detail so fast?
The detailing is just grabs from close ups of the physical model and the hull is the same but made to work as a tiling texture.
It's a rough and ready model and doesn't hold up to close scrutiny, but as a quick 3D guide for painting over it's fit for purpose.
Awesome work everyone. Great to see some of your process there, Alex. Here's the Dark Knight, for a facebook artgroup I frequent.

Mean and moody, Darren. Love it.
Thanks guys. ;)
Thought I'd share my latest project so far. It's a follow up to my pixel art London. There's no way I could do the whole of Mega City One (in my spare time at least) so I settled for a cutaway of two blocks engaged in a bit of block war.
No cits yet - just a lonely judge.
Hopefully I'll have it finished by the end of the month.

Terrific work as ever, Archey. :)
Excellent stuff all round, as usual but I doff my hat to flip-r mk2 as that has brought back some childhood memories. Yes I did used to buy Captain Britain in the day!
Howdy everyone! Great stuff (as usual). Always a thread I keep a close eye on and the quality continues to be as impressive as ever.
I am not producing so many one-off illustrations lately due to trying to complete my commitment on a strip I have been working on for some years now with Paul Von Scott - "Lubatek".
We are hoping to produce an american-format collected edition (with new strips, new artwork, new text as well) next year - anyway, I have been working on a cover idea this week and thought you might like a look! Some refinement/tinkering to do - but close to finished.
Cheers
Simon.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/Simonipenter/LubatekCoverreduced.jpg)
PENTER! Where've you been?! Beautiful cover, absolutely loaded with detail - reminds me o' that old Synammon one by the Teague - !
Love the way the hair is drawn and those eyes...
Hey CrazyFoxMachine.....yeah, do feel like i have been away a while - rest assured i have been quietly lurking! i seem to have lost the desire to draw much this year, but got back into it a couple of months ago and am now getting back up to speed. Have got about 8 strip pages to draw for the next episode of lubatek and have just passed halfway. Got a little fatigued on black and white comic strip pages (the problem with working on a computer exclusively now is i draw every backhround character as if they were a full page panel) and decided th have a go at a colour pin-up for a change.
Now that you mention it, i know exactly the synamon cover you mean....the picture kind of evolved, she started off fully dressed sitting in a high-tech chair next to a window - i then got a bit carried away on drawing pipes and wires then decided that i had spent far too long on the background to obscue 75 percent of it with a chair! she lost most of her clothing purely because i think the minimal colours worked better (well thats my story.....). anyway, i guess it finished up quite a bit different than my original sketch!
Cheers Commando Forces - glad you like it. A proper Dredd picture will likely follow shortly, i am long overdue.
What expression!

I like the Photoshop sketch work. Can I make one comment on your site, though? There's horizontal scrolling going on and my monitor's not too shabby (widescreen laptop) - not sure if you've worked up the layout on larger screen res? It really doesn't help people browsing - I'd suggest a gallery plugin of some sort or a standard vertical scrolling layout.

(Sorry to - potentially - derail thread, but I honestly am a little baffled as to why you'd like Judges in general, but not Dredd in particular!)
I am of an age when I remember Dredd in his early days and I have to say I much prefer the original character/style, the Bolland, the McMahon, the stories, Cursed earth, The day the Law died, Judge Child etc. etc. in the late 70's/early 80's to the more modern versions...
It must be an age thing!
"Lack of appropriate level of Dredd appreciation. Ten years, creep."

Doom - I like the contrast in brushwork between the character and the backdrop. I think that perhaps the horn over her left eye (on our right) needs moving up above her eyebrow a bit more, though.

Interesting to see the leap between the sketch and the ink.
With pencils why not try using a retractible pencil with 2B lead (I'm assuming the sketch was with a regualr sketching pencil?)- your line and hatching work is strong and this would complement it.

Hi JT,
Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a go sometime soon. I tend to use HB and 2B lead pencils when drawing thumbnails, penciling pages etc. The pencils on the picture below were also rendered with a regular pencil...its always good to try new things. Do you have any pencil work I could look at?

Putting stuff together for the weekend I remembered this piece that I was working on with Emperor. In light of comments received at Thought Bubble I think I'm going to reappraise a lot about how I work however, I still have quite a soft spot for this;

Ah, brings back such emotive memories..
Nice artwork too Jon. :)
Thanks, Megabus. The mech was actually all pencil work re-levelled using photoshop.
Jon - Loving your use of colour.
Jon - wow. That's ace. a) You have a fight scene in a saloon - always good b) Is that St Sebastian??? Ha ha ha! and c) zombies! Love the colouring too.

Yeah, I think it is. Well, they're all different saints. I'd have to check the script, to be honest. My memory's terrible.
I like you're inking style Davey, very pure and clean. As JT mentioned I love the way Jon has used colour especially on his last pic and I also lke the extra character detail on his first pic.

The colours and textures in that page, are extraordinary,
Jon. Change is good, but don't throw the baby out with the bath water, chief.
Ooh... nice... and I've read that script.
Best. Title. Ever.
Did this at the end of 2011. Richard posted it on ECBT2000ad a few months back.
I don't think I've posted it on the forum so here is a lighthearted Dredd vs Death pic.

Having seen the artwork posted on the ThoughtBubble thread I'd be upset if you started reapraising your work too much, though without knowing the comments I cannot really comment myself.
Oh, hey, thanks.
It's not so much the comments I received, which were all brilliant and useful, but more how I felt when it came to showing people the pages and some of the realisations/ regrets that immediately washed over me on doing so, chief of which was a strong feeling that; a/ I was overcomplicating things and; b/ I really wasn't planning stuff out carefully enough in a misconstrued attempt to maintain speed - which, ultimately, didn't happen because of problems that arose down the line.
I'll always continue to experiment, I think, because I find that side of things exciting (and perhaps struggle to focus). I'm lucky that I get opportunity to do so as "occasional" concept artist.
In terms of comics though I just want to take a deep breath, calm down, and go back to first principles just to see what that particular avenue can yield.
This forum overall is amazing in terms of it's support and encouragement, so I hope I didn't come across as churlish. I'm not changing my approach because I regret anything (other than the usual slight disappointment that can creep in for any work you do as you develop towards where you want to be); rather more that I'm now really excited about taking a different, perhaps more straight-forward appoach.
It's the self-abuse that always hurts the most ;)
The problem with making comics (or any illustrations or art) for free or for the public domain as you're travelling towards the fabled land of where-you-want-to-be is that you get no real editorial feedback or indication as to how far along the road you are - only feedback from peers or from yourself or from panels.
You're always going to be your harshest critic, and the irony of panels is that no matter how awesome your work is it's rare that you'll get anything more than another pat on the back because there's nothing more thant they can offer.
Then again, everyone here's already heard this in one form or another. Self-doubt is a bastard, though.
I think what was really interesting for me was that, despite being great enough to give some feedback and consider what I put in front of them, you could tell they just weren't excited by anything I showed. That was the most useful part for me because you could then see what did excite them about other people's work, and think about how you can apply yourself to that sort of output.
Of course, it's all partly the luck of the draw. I've sat on similar panels in review of other people; I'm sure they cared more than I did, and I certainly couldn't tell you what advice I gave now. It's good to be on the scary side of that process from time to time, there's a definite value to it if only in sweeping out the cobwebs a bit.
It's just playing the game, really, isn't? I don't know anyone who's serious about being an artist that isn't constantly reappraising themselves. If I'm following a road, then I keep getting distracted by interesting looking places off to the side, and head over for a quick look. it's a fun journey though.
The fun bit is the most important. I suppose I was just reflecting back to when I got fed up, packed it all in for a while, and set myself back for a couple of years in which I hardly did anything productive. Doh. My fault for going up to a panel with a not too well thought out portfolio and a few pints (in me, not as a gift to the panel).
For what it's worth, myself and plenty others here found your work very exciting and of a great standard, but again as you said it's a game of chance, and actually being on a panel and appraising work (and seing other work being appraised) is unusual because where else do you not only see so many different interpretations on the same theme, but actually have to assess them in an objective way, and you never really know their preconceptions of what they wanted which of course makes that work click for them.
When you mentioned the excitement of looking at a piece of work I thought I could get through the post withough using a phrase like "What is it that gives work the X factor?". Now I've just gone and cheapened this whole thread.

I was very hung over.
Yeah, I did that too, a couple of times, firstly because one of the first people I ever worked with was Wayne Reynolds, and he was so apparently effortlessly good I just felt like I could never reach the required standard, and a second time because spread sheets and getting other people to do the work seemed so much more appealing (it wasn't). Ultimately though, I just couldn't give it up.

It's worth an
enormous amount and I appreciate it hugely, as well as feeling the same about a lot of others here. the majority of the weekend was about meeting some of the people I admire that I first encountered here, and was incredibly rewarding. Especially the dancing!
Being on the boards has lead to me getting work in Dogbreath and Futurequake, plus some other offers, and it's something I really hope to continue. The community aspect is at least as big a part of it for me.

now that looks more realistic for size that helmet looks great... is it from a kit or 3 d model ??

my effort is just a drawing in photoshop, then i made a low poly 3d model and textured with my drawing
i was hoping to export the 3dfile into a 3d paper model with pepakuru i used a free 3d model program called google sketchup 4
ill try and get a better render before i go with reflections and light
here is a slightly better render where the edit button

It's all 3d. I wish I had a real one :)
I've not really played with sketchup, although I hear it's very powerful. Your Judge is far more "true" than mine!

Youve got some quality models there ... have you ever thought about animation ?
id love to make a virtual mega city-1, where you can add models, like Google maps
a few years ago i tried to make a mega city 1 for GTA vice city ... still under construct
----
I was just looking at the game engine for gta4 its very mod-able now, would be useful as an animator maybe
ive seen a few editors for the Game environment ....
your models are much higher poly i just draw by hand, so they are basic LOW POLY
Orlock_Tzar - theyre bloody lovely renders! Am i right in thinking that looks like 3DS Max?
Tried a 3D Dredd myself a few years back - had too many problems though and gave up.
This is as far as i got...

Channeling John Higgins and later-period Liam Sharp there,
PJ - two of my favourites. Regarding the calendar, there have been enough Dredd Christmas tales to fill the required 25 days and inspire a sketch from each. I'd make a case for including Morrison and MacNeil's
It's a Dreddful Life from the megazine, which would let you draw almost any character from the strip's history you please, including Rico astride a tyrannosaur. MacNeil's depiction of Hershey as a topless floozie was a winner for me, but I remember you saying you've got (artisitic) issues with overt sexiness.
Lovely stuff.
I love it when artists are constantly tinkering with 'their' Dredd - I can totally relate!
I think I could draw Dredd for the rest of my life, changing a few details here and there each time.
Love the solid metalic look of the helmet.
PJ
nice study in BLUE lovely mixes going on :)
Before I saw that, PJ, I would have said that Brendan McCartney and Mick McMahon are the only droids who can do the flared helmet thing. But that's fuckin' cool.
Here's a little spaceman I did a while ago to practice colour schemes and try a few new techniques.

blimmin lovely Dredd, doesnt look PS'd at all.
Spaceman also super, reminds me of a cross 'tween a 2000ad artist who's name escapes me and an early Dan Dare Pre 2000ad.

Well wow PJ I just bloody love that Tharg, its truly fantastic.
Snoozing goblin. For Christmas, I wanted to get my dad a gnome/gargoyle for his increasingly Labyrinthesque garden. Let down by the local shops and put off by the exorbitant delivery costs online, I decided to buy a lump of Sculpy and make one instead. Rather pleased with the results...

Sculpted in about an hour, baked for about 40 mins at gas mark 1 and given a few washes with some long-neglected Citadel inks. Just a shame I can't show him off on Facebook for fear of ruining the surprise, really!

Love the goblin - I want to make a Hellboy gargoyle as a doorstop for my garden. I don't have easy access to a kiln though. Did the oven do the business?
Yeah, worked a treat. Had to give it a little longer than the instructions demanded, as the Sculpy was a bit thicker around the base, but it cured just fine.
Ah - just seen you mention 'sculpey' and had to look it up. Does it compare well with clay in terms of the actual sculpting?
I've not done a whole lot of "proper" clay sculpting to make the comparison, but I did find it very easy to work with. Nearest thing I can compare it to is Plasticene.

Thanks Zarjazzer - the story was kind of tongue in cheek and went like this:
Koko a female Gorilla born in San Francisco Zoo in 1974 was according to her trainer Francine Patterson able to sign and understand speech. This incredible story was made very public and hit headlines the world over.
What the public do not know is that the attention given to Koko and her owner was a ploy by a secret government department intended to draw attention away from another operation, one far more sinister, involving state of the art bio engineering and the training of a male Gorilla in urban warfare - the operation was code named - 'Operation Colonel'.
Very cool Anton - not tried Manga Studio yet, keep threatening to though, how do you find it?
Can't go wrong with apes Ant - I went through a period a couple of years ago where I drew nothing but - including the Colonal.
Sorry to say, there was also.. 'Space Chimp' :-[

Given your love for all things 'ape' and 'space', it would be a crime if you didn't know about
Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys...?

They only ever made something like 25 episodes, but it was a little gem of a series - genuinely hilarious, and full of painfully well-observed piss takes of sci fi tropes. Gotta love anything with a split-personality orangutan engineer!
I did this for the blog of a friend:

Since we're on the theme here's one I did years ago as the cover to a comic (a rubbish one) I self published a few years ago.

And before anyone says yes its a swipe tribute to Alex Ross and that fact was acknowledged on the inside cover blurb. Honest librarian me, do me referencing proper like.
Nice, I'll need to dig out my old cyber-gorilla game model. Gorilla's seem popular.
Steve: I've enjoyed my first experience of Manga Studio. I feel the brushes could do with more variety in their stroke so each line is not too similar. I'll read up on tutorials and the threads here to understand the software better and how it works. The previous sketch was me blazing in and just picking it up with no knowledge of MS.

You can vary the pressure-response curve on a brush-by-brush basis, so you can have stiff pens and responsive brushes. You can have a combination, that's quite stiff at low pressures, but becomes much looser at higher pressures...
Do you want me to stick up a quick post about this on the Manga Studio Q&A thread (http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,37507.0.html)?

That's some lovely colouring there. Skintones are gorgeous.
That is a really excellent job. I agree the skintones are brilliant.
Trying my hand at ol' Stoney Face again. More realistic this time with more shadows instead of the thick cartoony lines that I tried before.

Found this 'old' piece - bout 3 years old. It was for a project I worked on with several other artists entitled Game of Kings. A fantasy style adventure released weekly through RedBubble based upon the game of chess.
This piece was created for the battle of the Black Kings Knights and the White Queens Rooks. Not perfect but though i'd share as this was the project that renewed my love of fantasy, sci fi illustration.
You can check out all the other work by by myself and other artists here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/gameofkings (http://www.redbubble.com/people/gameofkings)

I am having a bit of a motivation drought at the moment and am a bit blocked so whilst I wait for some psychic Domestos that I can use*, the SugarGlider comics people posted my story I did for their anthology a year or two ago. It's a well written sad story which held lots of challenges for me - drawing the 1960s, older people, recognisable exteriors - The entrance to the MOD amongst them...

Blackmocco - HUGE love for that Nemesis! What did you use for that?
Ha! It's digital. Did it in Photoshop. Had the sketch for a few weeks but didn't know what to do with it so just fucked around with it with this weird brush I have in PS. Lots of layers until I liked it. What sold it for me (and that doesn't happen often!) was just duplicating the image on top of itself and discovering it went all chunky and painterly. I actually love it, if I may be so bold, which is the nicest part because I usually rip my own work to shreds once it's done. Might print this bad boy and throw him in a frame even.
Really loving the 2000AD Twitter comp right now. So many different styles so it's pretty easy to get inspired to try something different.
Great work everyone as per usual. Loving the Nemesis blackmocco.
Here' the cover for Davey's Paragon #13 (I think) which I've done. It's my first cover I've done so I'm pretty chuffed. The beastie of the tale has been designed by James Corcoran who's illustrating the main Spencer Nero strip.

I really like the 'Kirby' vibe you've got going on there JAMESCOR.

Thats how I wanna die! :lol:

I'm doing a live design [internet explorer getting catered for last... sorry folks!] on the website, so if you do notice any weird things, or have any suggestions, I'd be keen to hear them.

Fantastic fantasy art DoomBot.
Wow, thanks for the kind words guys.

Seeing Mick McMahon's posting of a Cursed Earth commission on his blog today (it's amazing - check it out!)
reminded me that I had drawn something very similar (though by no means anywhere near the quality) a few years back - and had completely forgotten that I had drawn it.
Just managed to find it and thought I would post it here for you to have a look. Cheers, Simon.

That's fuckin' brilliant,
blackmocco. Is the 'rod in the foreground the Turbo Terrific or Penelope Pitstop's Compact Pussycat? You really need to draw and colour the whole fleet and propose the Hanna Barbera/Mad Max mash-up as an idea for a
Family Guy episode. Thanks for sharing.
Penelope Pitstop, Sauchie. The thought of updating her into some badass in pink leather was just too much to resist. There'll be a few more vehicles to go before I'm finished but fuck me, I find drawing vehicles pretty exhausting in the end. Love designing them, just hate all the technical aspects involving perspective and angles...

It's HEID and DIDNAE, Davie - the DC Thomson version of Scots provides the official spelling guide for the idiom. That was a great laugh, but I would have thought working Jeemie the moose into a story involving an elephant version of Oor Wullie would have been a no-brainer.
Nice one, although the workmen are contraviening health and safety. They are looking at a hefty fine and being kicked off site. Not to mention the law suit that will ensue.

Consider it a Paddy's Day present me aul segosha. Though it's coming out negative for some reason.
So weird. It looks completely normal on my computer but when I looked on the g/f's phone it was negative. Let me try it again...

If it's all fucked up again, can someone let me know and supply some insight into why that would happen...?
Could be in CMYK not RGB, normal mac prog's preview CMYK in negative for some reason. If your using PS, use 'save for web' when you save a copy to upload. It'll make it web friendly for you.
Having said that it looks fine to me. Also very good, but not negative!
That's exactly what happened. It's in CMYK as I'm getting a print of it made for the show.

Recently I was asked to draw and colour a couple of pages for the opening of a B Movie project which I 'assume' is called 'Its Here', a kind of take on the old 1950's style of sci fi - I assume they're gonna bounce around the panels as with a digital comic!! Very excited!!

Nice work CB, love seeing WIP!! Not sure I agree with your opinion on the outfit though. More practical yes - but not nearly as pleasing to the eye!!
Aye, nice work - it occupies territory somewhere between Mick Austin, Steve Yeowell and those concept paintings Dermot Power did for the 1995 film - but you'll have incurred the wrath of at least on boarder with the egregious deployment of The Jo Guest Technique (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BoobsAndButtPose).

Hey Hawkmonger,
I use the Bamboo Connect - I use an A5 size and quite happily draw and colour my work on it. Costs about £60.

Finally, finally got this panorama finished. I cannot believe how long it has taken.
It was originally intended to be a collaboration with a cg artist friend, but has ended up being pure illustration. The background 'set', including vehicles and street furniture was in fact first made in crude 3d, the models were then used as a basis for the drawing. Kind of time-consuming in the short term, but was a fun learning experience.
Planning on getting an enormous print done at some point, the image is huge, and detailed enough that I can go huge!

Very cool Radiator, You've handled the 2d elements well sitting with the 3d background not always an easy combination to get right.
Did you use google sketchup ?
How long was a long time ?
My only crit would be to tone down the lens flare / god rays. Unless this area is the main focal point it leads the eye away from the other interesting things going on.
Far too long, over two years from start to finish as it has all been done piecemeal. its rare to find enough free time to get a good run at it and im easily distracted. The lion's share of work has been done over the last few weeks though.
3d all done with Sketchup, yeah. Very useful tool. Time-intensive, but takes all the pain out of drawing buildings/perspectives etc.
Point taken about the sunbeams - easy enough to knock them back a bit.
fantastic!

Thanks Pops. It's based on the Mongoose miniature.
A quick sketch with the Wacom Intus tablet... What i find amazing, after 7 years of using one, is that I find it so difficult to draw on paper !!

A product of technology and advancement?... Anyone else found their "talent" has been computerized??
I always pencil on paper, but have to ink digitally as I'm extremely crap at inking by hand. Manga Studio have been a lifesaver for me.

I bought a bamboo tablet last month just to better help with digital aspects of my work and it has been a great revelation in terms of colouring, time and the undo button but it can never replace the pencil and paintbrush.
On a similar note I highly recommend a recent Imaginefx special issue on digital comic art and the processes of people at the top of their industry. Really really good.
http://beta.imaginefx.com/shop/bookazine/how-draw-and-paint-comic-art (http://beta.imaginefx.com/shop/bookazine/how-draw-and-paint-comic-art)
oddly, I produced my first entirely digital painting today for my 'an arrow from hell' series. coloured version could do with some work but overall I'm chuffed. Especially as without digital, I would never have the patience to produce the arabesque curves and patterns on the internal art.

Here's another Dredd- practicing in Manga studio by inking old sketches

Nice inking Johnny. Still trying to get the hang of M.S4 myself. Ain't as easy as you've made it look, haha. :-)
How much is manga studio 4 BTW?
It's only @80 dollars
http://manga.smithmicro.com/buy.html
I (and half the message board) got it when they were doing a sale for about half that
Without wishing too oversell it too much I would put it in the 'life changing' category
Herm...£52 is a bit out of my price range at the moment. I'll hold out for another sale and stick to more crude methods for the time being. Thanks jonnystress. :)
I hear they have these things called paper and ink these days...must try them out some time :)

Hey Nice Dredd Johnny. Inspired to go do something new in Manga Studio myself now.
Sorry if there threads for it, as I got iPad last year, I start illustrating on it much better. and sometimes I draw something as challenges, based on films, characters, moments and people.
I draw few;
Pan's Labyrinth;
(http://i.imgur.com/mQee5mU.jpg)
Scream;
(http://i.imgur.com/GeBZCgr.jpg)
Black Knight;
(http://i.imgur.com/xdFt35W.jpg)

(http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y322/conceptboy1/shadows-her_zpsb74a69cf.jpg)
again.. a Wacom Intus at its best... 20 minute concept sketch
'Tis some nice scratchins there Goaty. I especially like the Black Knight.
Man of many talents, our Goaty. Love the Scream one.
Thanks!!
Here few more;
Dredd
(http://i.imgur.com/4PPqCkW.jpg)
Dusk at the beach
(http://i.imgur.com/MFHq4cp.jpg)
Dagger & Cloak
(http://i.imgur.com/RVcelpN.jpg)
The Avengers
(http://i.imgur.com/pwxNGZN.jpg)
Really impressive! Love the Scream picture!
I have Sketchbook Pro on my iPad but I find it really difficult to use. I can't draw with my finger as it's too fat and a stylus I bought was too fat also - like a blunt crayon.
I've just bought a cheap Wacom Bamboo so I'll see how I get on with that. If I can learn how to use it I may start entering the art comps!
Try Procreate app, the best one!
And get pen from Play.com,
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/17675412/-/Product.html (http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/17675412/-/Product.html)
Wow, some excellent work, Goaty. Love the Pan's Labyrinth art and the Black Knight! :thumbsup:
I suspect this is the thread you were after:

Thanks for the kind words gents :)
That Dredd is arsom Johnny, as is the thread!
Great work people.
You do a great Dredd, Johnny.
I also bought Manga Studio in the sale but I haven't even fired it up yet. AFAIAC digital inking just takes so damn long.
Wow.
I did a bit of design work for my sister's youth football team the other day. This is the third thing I've drawn in about four years! Slowly getting back the 'lets draw something' urge I used to get in my youth.

It was pencil and pen, free handed, which explains why it isn't very symmetrical. Then I scanned it and coloured it with GIMP, thanks to a few free tutorials I found online.
I'm very tempted to do more pen work and much around with GIMP to colour it, now I know how.

Not saying Jim is anything but right in suggesting that we keep things in those threads that nature provided specifically for their placement, but as Goaty is a top Content Provider round here I'm not narked. All that suppressed Trailer Thread Starting energy has to spill out somewhere!

It's not even a crime, and it's only annoying for as long as it takes Our
Richmond to utilise his thread-merging-heat-ray-vision. When
Richmond first came to us, we thought people would come and take him away when they found out the things he could do. But then a man gets older, and he starts thinking differently and things get very clear. And one thing I do know, is
Richmond's here for a reason. I don't know whose reason, or whatever the reason is. But I do know one thing. It's not to let redundant threads proliferate and duplicate the functions of others
(clutches left arm, keels over and dies).
Gimme a minute...
Keep posting Goaty - your artwork is a pleasure to see! ;)
Now that is what I call thread merging.
BTW, good work Goaty.

Man if THATS a doodle...
now with added shape in the background that could represent something' psychic-y'
(http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/118/c/b/anderson__psi_division_by_johnnymc-d63dn7k.jpg)
The 'psychic-y' effect tells you something about the character. Even if you 'd never heard of Judge Anderson you'd understand there was something special about her.
I take it thats Anderson right? In that case i'd say that is possibly the closest we can come to seeing the real Anderson; you know the one with wrinkles as such as was shown in the Meg a while back. Great work Johnny!

Thanks Darren and Mabs. First of many as I try and get this story kicked off for next year. Unless I suddenly find loads of other paid work I'll get the current 3 strips completed that'll be it for other folks stuff(1-2 exceptions) it'll be time to do my own work.
Great work as always Archie. I'm loving these background washes that you've been using.
Thanks Neil, just trying different things again you know me. Now might be a good time for me to get that pin-up done for you in this style.
That would look cool as Archie. Unfortunately, Killing Moon is on hold for the time being though :(

Toppi, I'm not fit to grace the same sentence as that man, you're right of course Davey the guy was a genius and if I had 1% of his talent I'd be a happy man.

The word was first used to mean "uncalled for, done without good reason" in the 1690s. It seems to have sprung up a few decades before that to describe a spontaneous "pleasant" act from the latin "gratuitus".
Oh sorry. Gone into etymology there.
some ideas knocking for the Strontium dog art comp actually turned into something quite nice...and manga.

Lovin that Alpha! Works surprisingly well in that style.
Seeing alot of Chris Weston in Jon's Dredd, which is utterly superb :) I also think its really well framed, makes it more of a mid-action shot than a pose.
Brilliant stuff chaps.

HAPPY FREE COMIC BOOK DAY PEOPLE!
Allow me to introduce THE UNFINDING OF ERASMUS CIVITATUM. A writer friend and I have been producing this webcomic panel by panel for the past little while, the format is inspired by Warren Ellis' Scatterlands. However, it has always been in the back of our minds to compose in beats of 3 with an eye to how it would look as a full comix page. As today is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2013 we'd like to share the first 15 panels of The Unfinding with you on our facebook fan page, I mean the first five pages. Check us out... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.551867604863849.1073741831.532104233506853&type=1
Also you can follow the ongoing narrative at http://theunfinding.tumblr.com/ where the story is already further ahead.

Ah man! Star Wars artwork is always welcome and that X-Wing is just stunning, Albion! Love the use of shading especially on the X-wing. I haven't noticed it in the films before but the colour palette feels like an extension of R2-D2, which makes sense really because he is more or less the heart or brain driving the craft..sort of! Great stuff. :)

Thanks Neil, Hawk. It's pencil and various digital brush patterns with a watercolour texture background. All the digital was done on our friend Manga Studio. The water colour was used as the colour palette for the figure.
Lovely image and that digital water colour effect is tremendous. I'll need to look into that, never tried that before.

I honestly thought you'd done it in MS5 though Archie.
Thanks Alex, all I'll say is layers, layers upon layers and opacity settings. I don't dont have MS5 yet I'm waiting for the EX version to arrive. 4 is still pretty solid for me.
My first shot at spraypainting. No artistic skills required, just followed instructions on YouTube

:o
:o
Please point us to the youtube instructional video!!!
Certainly. Seriously, it's a piece of piss - just grab some glossy board, some old magazines, a sock and two cans of spraypaint. You'll also notice I bottled it when it came to the big tree in the foreground.

Terrific inking P.J. Particularly on Robin. Very John Romita Jr, one of my favourite superhero book artists. :-)
Superb stuff Mr. Holden. Loving the lump's where Bruce's ear's are. Nice attention to detail.

Really like this. I don't know about Venus but I bought a Robyn album today and I couldn't help noticing a bit of a resemblance.

Another movie poster print I've been working on the last few days. It's not final final yet, definitely needs a bit more fine-tuning, but quite pleased with how it's going so far...

That's a bit special that, Darren.
And Jon - ? That knocking at your door is me. I know it's late but I've come to eat your hands.
Wow Darren, old stony facees face looks great, the only problem is it looks like his helmet is red instead of black with a red stripe. Other than that its really brilliant

Albion, how did you manage to do that with Procreate? My efforts with that or any other app on the Ipad turn out rubbish so all the more impressive.
Been fiddling with this one on and off for what feels like an eternity:

And how the hootin' heck did you do that image above. It's awesome.
There's some wonderful art on this thread. I really enjoy the stuff here and in the doodle and art comp threads too.
Thanks for the kind comments I've had recently. I always see a lot of faults in what I do and the comments I get are very encouraging. I've really got back into drawing recently.
As for Procreate it just seems to suit me quite well. I like the fact I can just have a go when I want drawing on the iPad. I can do it anywhere and all I need is the ipad and my stylus. I do tend to google for images as reference for what I'm doing. I also do sometimes trace the basic image outline as you can import photos into Procreate. Cheating a bit maybe but it saves a lot of time and I can build the image up from there.
I only use a cheap stylus I got on eBay. It's like a brush at one end and works very well. I also just purchased some new brushes in the app for the space effects and they work really well.

Thanks for all the kind - and amazing - comments.
Also;
Archie, I'm loving your wash stuff.
Doombot, that looks great! ESPECIALLY the left hand. Really good.
Albion, you've made me want to track down Blake's Seven videos now. Also kudos for having more patience with an iPad than I've so far mustered. I think it's the lag.
Darren, that Dredd's great. I'm generally in awe of your palette, I still seem to end up in muddy wash territory even digitally.
Owen - um, what? :o

Thanks very much, Jon. I think it goes back to when I worked traditionally. Back then, I tended to use watercolour inks, which are very vibrant. I still prefer bright colours tody, though with digital, I can reign it in......a bit! Lovely dragon, by the way. ;)

I'm guessing that's to promote one of the old black and white movie serials and whoever coloured it wasn't familiar with the comics and only had film or photographs for reference.

Brilliant, radiator.
I couldn't see the 'Alien' at first. Like one those 'magic eye' thingy's they had a while back I couldn't see for looking.

I've always struggled with painting so I'm trying to teach myself to do it; in a bid to do that I did an oil sketch of a mate today, basically monochrome, transparent oxide red with titanium white to lighten it and french ultramarine here and there to push it towards black...almost gave up and called it a day at the ugly stage but persevered.

Bit of pimp I'm afraid. Someone (not me, weirdly) has posted my Cornetto Trilogy poster on the official Cornetto/The World's End Tumblr. It's doing pretty well, and is currently the most popular piece of fan art on the site.
I don't use Tumblr myself, but if you do, can you help it along by reblogging, reposting or liking?

OK following on from my Dredd head sketch in the doodle thread. I have now been playing with my Bamboo and inked and coloured it from the photo. Am still learning though but am pretty happy with results!
Now onto my entry for the August comp, but also have 1 or 2 more sketches to post at some point this week.
(PS if anyone can advise on the settings in photobucket to reduce image size then that would be appreciated as I am conscious that this is a bit large!!)

On photobucket if you change the 'width' manually ( delete the original width and enter your new smaller one, the height automatically changes with it....Then click apply )....I think.....
However the one here I think is a 'spot on' size.....You see the full picture on the screen without the scroll bar at the bottom....Pretty much perfect I would say....
Great art by the way...
Cheers
Great work, Amines! :thumbsup:

Sideshow Bob is bang on with his advice; alternatively you can resize the picture before you upload it. I usually create a new version of a file specifically for upload to photobucket, that way I can resize beforehand, get an idea of how it's going to look and adjust accordingly, rather than have to rely on the sharing site's software and a more uncertain result.

Thanks SimeonB, it's for an artist friend we're doing a bit of a artswap.
Great Dredd, Archie. Some good stuff going on in that.

That's good! I like the craggy older look to Slaine. Years of lopping off heads. And he didn't think it too many.
Okay, maybe I'm being a bit corny now.
I had a bit of a play and bunged some colours on a drawing I did a couple of months ago.

Love that Supersurfer,
Although it's quite a bit 'unsettling' for some perception / intuition reason....My brain keeps trying to tell me it's a 'normal' head while my eyes are saying there is two sets of eyes and it continually goes 'back and forth'.......Mind bending.... :D
Great stuff !!

Thanks Sideshow Bob but don't blame me – it's Alan Moore's fault.

Uh was that one you did for the art comp? If so I think I remember saying I'd love to see it finished and that right there is why I said it (if I did?).
As ever lovely stuff Supersurfer.
Thanks Colin. Yes, I faffed around and didn't even enter it. As work has pretty much dried up for a (hopefully short) while, I'm trying to do some catching up on the art front, so I'll be uploading a bit more stuff that I never got round to finishing and some new bits and pieces.

Empire Magazine have just ran a competition to design the Blu Ray cover for the limited edition BD steelbook release of Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives. Here's my entry...

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/3c_zpscfcc826b.jpg)
Jesus man. I thought the movie was a bit over ripe but, id snap it up with a cover like that! Very mondo. :D
Thanks man.
I erm, haven't actually seen the film myself. I'm very hot and cold on Refn - loved Drive and Bronson, didn't connect with Valhalla Rising and I heard that OGF is more like the latter so gave it a miss.
The actual final version was with the blood all shaded, rendered and detailed (see the movie poster crop version below) but in the end I preferred the simpler, graphic version. I have a tendency to overdo and overthink stuff - I guess to compensate for a lack of confidence - when in reality my simpler designs tend to be better received.
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k26/radiator_2006/OGF_Poster_2_zpsff80bd31.jpg)
I have my own question not to de-rail the topic to much. I'm working on inking lines on sketches. How can I help distinguish between the perspective of each line. I hear you should give each surface to a picture a different line thickness. I susspect this means to use thicker lines on clothing than on skin, the tightnes of the clothing dicktating the thicknes of the line, but can anyone give me any suggestions?
Hmm. In ink, at least, line weight tends to vary more by distance — heavier lines and more variation in weight in the foreground, finer, more even line weights in the background. Also with light source — heavier lines on the darker side of an object, finer lines on the light side.
Cheers
Jim

liked Valhalla Rising but this cover's great.

Had a bit of a struggle with this months art comp. I tidied up my sketch, printed it in blue line on bristol board, inked it. Was happy with it, scanned it and then felt the inks lost sharpness. I think my brush pen is just too thick for that kind of drawing on A4.
I really must make a concerted effort to start on the art comps earlier. Always feel I need to finish and then revisit with fresh eyes.
I enjoy doing the looser stuff but every once in a while I like to try the tighter stuff. Anyway...

Yeah looks great to me too - I actually think the slighly heavier line finish suits this piece nicely. What brush pen do you use? I use a Pentel brush pen and I have found that with some practice you can get a really fine line, even on A4.

Thanks Mardroid and Steven Austin.
I did that last one with a Pentel brush pen and tidied up some lines on computer. I'm happy with it when inking close ups but not so keen on it for detailed stuff. Not sure if I need to hold it more upright. Or maybe I need to try working on larger paper. I find the tip clogs up quite easily and won't draw very fine lines. Once it's cleaned that's half a cartridge of ink gone.
I've bought just about every black pen available but end up using rollerball pens quite often as I like the resistance. I want to try brushes and ink which I used to prefer years ago and also want to try nibs.
Are your comic pages inked with brush pen, Steve? They look great BTW.

Really? I don't have any issue with mine, although to get a very fine line I do have to hold it very low down, pretty much at the point where the plastic hits the brush, any higher and I loose the degree of control needed to get hairlines. Not had any issues with clogging though. I have tried several different brush pens too and this is the only one that maintains its point. From my perspective, the only way I think it could be improved is if the brush were a little shorter.

As for me, here's my latest window painting - quite happy with it, as I tried a new technique and it seems to have worked. Also the window's about 8 foot high and right in the very centre of Dublin, so hopefully it'll give a boost to business.

A selection of sketches that were all drawn with a fountain pen on post-it notes. So, quite small pictures. Have been posting these over on twitter occasionally but thought I would put up a little compilation. I haven't edited any of them (though I was tempted) and some are better than others! Cheers.

Good work Simon, they look great presented like that.
Thank you sir ! :-)
Hi fellas, lovely work all! It's been ages since I was last here - but this thread keeps on rolling!
Her are some snippets from my current strip that is still in production.

Cracking stuff there gentlemen!
Quote from: Simon Penter on 15 November, 2013, 09:39:52 PM
Thank you sir ! :-)
Simon, how did you manage to apply ink to a picture and keep the shape defined and clean cut. When I use ink it all kind of smudges and varies from light to darker patches rather than a consistent sheen.
Great selection Simon. Thanks for formatting it :)
Chewers folks!
As for inking technique, just a lot of influences from the early years of 2000AD I think. Spent far to many hours looking at bolland and McMahon pictures. My favourite techniques is the use of large areas of solid black shadow like McMahon uses......much as id like to leave things clean and uncluttered I can't help but add lots of fiddly feathering.

A little snippet of this year's Christmas card design. It's a hipster snowman!
Bought a really cool pack of photoshop brushes and been playing around with them. I actually started this from scratch as the first attempt ended up pretty cack - I was really rusty from not having drawn much recently.
Plan is to print them onto recycled card and finish with a white gel pen. I'll post a photo of the finished card when its done.

Blimey, i've always looked up to all three of you. You all somehow manage to produce sketches that surpass even my finished pieces. :lol:

Thanks Steve and a great sketch from yourself :D
Nice work pictsy, Steven Austin and previous chaps.
Congrats on the published work, Jim. I like it.

This the original cover design for To End All Wars, the World War One anthology - http://toendallwarscomic.wordpress.com/
Various boarders have contributed to this project which will be available in the summer. It will also have a foreword by 2000AD legend and writer of Charley's War Pat Mills.
That is quite astonishing good. The simple symbolise of the dead and rotting horse with the 'new' tank rolling over the horizon says so much.
Yeah, really great.
Thanks Colin and Jon, sadly it's not being used. Might try to sell it as a print.
Shall we start a campaign? ;)
Hahaha, probably not the best idea, you could buy a print though :lol:
Great work as always mate. And here's me thinking it was a dead goat ;)
Haha, feels like it ought to be.
Thats bloody good Archie! It wasn't chosen? Their loss!
No it's not that Hawk, I did the cover design for them and then they used another artist to paint the cover from it but thats fine by me.
Aaaaaaahhhhh......you should have still be the cover artist. ;)
There's quite a consensus on this.
And yeah, I'll buy a print. But one day...one day... our positions may be reversed... ;)
I'm only kidding Jon! If you're at any cons this year it'll be yours for a pint!
Event Horizon - great film!

Nice sense of depth and scale with the star in the background.
Still loads of stunning work posted here which is good to see. As I haven't upped anything here for a bit, here is a colour Shoggoth I did (put the original B/W one up ages ago).

Hey Trev, seen a few of these now. Am I right in thinking these are using Max's viewpoint colour pencil shader?
Do you mind me asking what you're trying for here? I may be a bit prejudiced, but I don't think those viewpoint shaders really do anything any favours.
Are you going to take the model any further?
I m just trying my new PC (intel 7, 16go, nvidia 4go) with max 2014 :lol:
Seems to work.
like a breeze :thumbsup:
Lo-poly models, pffft.....
Isn't it more traditional to try and run the latest version of Crysis with everything turned on?
;)
I quite enjoyed doing this. These one pagers are fun and easy for me to fit around other things so I'd like to do more. Except I'm rubbish at writing them. If anyone has any one page scripts they'd like to work on with me, let me know...

Awesome! I do hope you've posted that in the lego community as a suggestion for future manufacture. :D
If Firefly is too adult for them I doubt this would pass muster :lol:
@doombot: awesomememe page, I would just say maybe give a little more space to the lettering inside the speech bubbles?
@crazyfoxmachine: haha, too bad they can't make it...pretty sure it would sell like crazy.
Soooooooo....I may have worked something nerdy into the bottom of my wedding invite. Also I realize the top is lopsided, I need to fix it. While I was working I realized how SIMILAR the SHIELD and MC1 logos are. Both an eagle, with almost the exact same flag inside them :) The animals are our chinese zodiac animals.

@ mimikeke, great piece of character work, loving the simplicity of it, really stylised, very cool stuff! :)
Daft comic character concept doodled between proper work. Mostly.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25024/delivery5.jpg)
@Jon: nice! diggin the texture. This is just my personal take on it but I would make the head way smaller to emphasize a larger body.
Thanks for the thought, but I wanted him to have sort of man-baby awkward proportions. But Who knows? If I ever get round to developing him further, that may well happen.
Hulloo!
This was going up on the blog is that ok?
It's a colour version of the B&W Tharg I crow-barred into the Tharg Comp in January. Good starting choice by Archie btw. I tightend up his jumpsuit and blasted him with some colour...

@pictsy: nice work man! I think it'd look cool if the bg elements such as the capes, etc. were more graphic. Just personal pref tho, I'm sure the guys who own the chars are AD'ing the commish :)
@phuz: you should totally color in some of your work, it'd be sweet :)
Something silly and quick for my fiance's bday card this year. He is a big Alien fan. In case you are wondering my hands are supposed to be making a heart shape but probably should be closer together :lol:

@goaty: what prog you use? I bought a pressure sensitive ipad pen but then I broke it immediately > : \
Was it a Wacom Creative stylus? I got one and within a few days using Procreate the battery read 0% and it wasn't working. I thought it was a battery eater so got new ones but it didn't work still. Powering the iPad on and off made it better though and it's been fine since.
Here's a couple of ABC Warriors I've been working on. I bought myself a Wacom Creative Stylus to go with my iPad Mini I got for Christmas with the intention of doing more drawing, more regularly.
The Mongrol started as a warm up sketch and quickly turned into a finished piece I was really happy with, so I figured I'll do the set. Currently working on Blackblood.

My plan is to do them all from the same POV so ultimately I'll combine them all into one image.
Love that Mongrel
(http://i.imgur.com/aaGHXKi.jpg)
@Mimikeke - I really love those designs. @james - Good job on the ABC Warriors. Nice touch with Mongrel's cigar.
I've been wanting to get back into traditional painting and recently got the ball rolling with a Dredd underpainting.
Pencils first:

Not entirely sure what "more graphic" means, but I like Pictsy's soft-edged watercolour-ish style.
And I love your alien cards Mimikeke!
WOW! WOW! WOW! Superb work.

Oh man. If you threw that on a shirt and then distressed it...would make a pretty sick shirt.
Haha thanks all. Thats great Jim, feel free to expand that if you ever get the time. Rebellion are extraordinarily precious about their property (and rightly so) that it'd never happen.

Hi all, cracking work here as usual! Splendid Dredd there Steve.
I've had my 1st comic strips published this year, which was grand - learned a lot! Busy working on my own stories now, with some more collaborative work later in the year.

@Andrew_J, thx :)
Superb work, everyone.
Any story behind that brilliantly drawn star spangled guy, antodonnell?
Great Rogue, Steven.
And loving that Godzilla, PJ. Really like the way he is getting really hot under the collar. The Japanese flag is a great device.
Thanks Supersurfer, I knocked that image up quickly for an art contest on Millar world forums this week. It's gladiator from Super Crooks. If you've not read it you should or at least google it to see if it's your thing.

Cheers, guys... Jon is a master of mood, gorgeous!
DarkJImbo, this one is painted with acrylics and pastel on bristol board. Not my favourite surface to paint on though. I normally use canvas paper or illustration board but so many professionals do use bristol board that I thought I should give it a shot. It makes a whole difference in the way how you use the brushes to achieve certain textures.

Thanks very much. And sure! It varies from piece to piece, to be honest, but in this case...
I started with a sketch for layout - nice and loose, nothing too detailed;
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25024/Flow_001.jpg)
Sticking that on the top layer as a multiply blend, I create another layer underneath and start a tonal sketch. It makes sense in this case as the scene is to be dominated by the light sources. In a more white-lit scene, I'd probably start by blocking in the colour.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25024/Flow_002.jpg)
When I'm happy there's enough there to steer I can just turn off the top sketch layer;
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25024/Flow_003.jpg)
A new layer over the top, in this case blended to overlay (as the tonal study is quite dark. I generally prefer multiply, but depends on the piece). I very roughly blocked in some colour, just as a steer;
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25024/Flow_004.jpg)
I also adjust the image with feedback from the client that he's given me the wrong dimensions.
Naturally, its all pretty horrible so far. :) I flatten everything, and scribble in some further colour detail and depth. All the art college stuff about warm/ cold and colour wheel theory is your friend here.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25024/Flow_005.jpg)
And then, just iterate. It's all about the iteration really. Keep going until the deadline hits, then stop*. :)
I think really the biggest trick I've learned with painting is that there is no trick. Get down your intention as quickly as possible (it may take some exploration to discover what your intention is). It doesn't matter how loose everything is, you just need enough that you can see where it's going. And then refine. Piece of piss. :D
There's loads of stuff out there that can help. Feng Zhu is particularly good in terms of tutorials, though there are bloody loads. If you're impatient like me then it's really just down to playing around and lots of practice. **
*You could keep going until you're happy, but I've never heard of that working for anybody.
** Apologies for anything that doesn't make sense. Up all night with a screaming baby.
Jon many thanks for the detailed description and information on your workflow and how you create an image. That is really really useful to me.
I think my problem is I can do the basics quite successfully using traditional media but when transferring to digital, even though I understand and use layers in their simplest sense, it is the blending, multiply, and overlay of layers which confuses me as knowing when to use which option for what effect / benefit. Plus also as stupid as it is, knowing the best type of brush and the relative settings of that brush e.g. opacity etc to create the painted effect I want!
By the way best of luck with the baby. I can only sympathise as my wife is due to give birth to our third tomorrow!! So I am currently sat in work a little distracted awaiting a phone call at any time! :o :-\

Thanks. She's amazing, but it's all a bit new and terrifying. :)
In terms of layers and stuff, I wouldn't really worry about it too much. People seem to think there's a right and wrong way, but there really isn't. There are tricks to save time, and accepted studio practices, etc, but really just mess around and use the things that you discover work for you. Do a lot of work you're happy to throw away, and just play with different brushes - use a really intractable one and force it to work for you.
The trick is to work out where you're going and then discover the best way to get there, and the other stuff will come along as you go.
All the best of luck with number three!

For what it's worth, my two pennies on how to improve as a digital artist is find good tutorials. I got a copy of Digital Art Masters Vol 1 and I would thoroughly recommend it for learning brushes and layers (among other things).
For me, I use a limit selection of brushes these days. Mostly I use a custom hardbrush (an oval rather than a true circle) at a low opacity (10%) to sketch out the rough positioning of things and then turning the opacity up to between 40% and 70% to fill in - I use the eyedropper (the keyboard shortcut - alt) to grab colours right off the canvas to use for blending. I have another custome brush that is a little more textured or doing details but essential it's a continuation of building upon the foundation by filling in shadows and bringing out highlights.
I do use layers as well. These I use at the end to provide a little more depth to an image. I have a multiply layer that provides shadows and an overlay layer that provides darker shadows and highlights. These layers rarely go above 30% opacity because their influence on the image should be subtle.
Anyway, I would recommend checking out Digital Art Masters and looking at other publications as well.
Pictsy many thanks as well, that is also very helpful, especially the description on brushes and the recommendation for Digital Art Masters this sounds like exactly what I would be looking for.
Both of your comments are greatly appreciated, and who knows maybe one month I will submit a full colour image to the monthly art comp rather than my usual black and white affairs!! :D
I am excited to get going now perhaps with my forthcoming 2 weeks paternity I will get the chance to sit down and work through what you have said and start having a play around..

Don't stress
too much about learning the 'tricks.' Everything I've ever done digitally has been done using the exact same Photoshop brush. I don't even know what it's called - it was the default brush that was opened when I installed the program for the first time and I've used it ever since, for just about everything, on my increasingly rickety and buggy copy of Photoshop CS.
Layers are key, though, they really do revolutionise how you work. They should be your first focus.
It sounds like you might get along much better with Manga Studio, Jimbo. It sucks as an all-round comics creating tool (the colouring and lettering aren't there yet, and the panel cutting is pretty basic), but for linework/inking, I've been floating towards using it over CS steadily as time goes on, and I'm a pretty obstinate luddite when it comes to my workflow.
You need to try Manga Studio 5 Mullah, it's a completely different kettle of fish to MS4
Sadly true - I was - ill-advisedly - posting the contents of my digital sketchbook over on the old blog and I was posting something like 20-30 pages a month until I upgraded to MS5, at which point I dropped to something like five pages a month as I kept fiddling with it trying to do stuff I'd been doing in MS4, and when I switched back to MS4 my quote-unquote productivity went back up again so I've stuck with that ever since - though MS5 remains installed.
The addition of new layer blending options was welcome, as was the ability to directly open image files without having to import them to a pre-existing file as a separate layer, but apart from that things were oddly fiddly and not quite the all-round package CS is. Lettering is still a dreadful experience in MS5, too.

Heh. Lots of advice. Just pick the art you like the most, and off you go.... ;)
For what it's worth I too come from a traditional background (I got my degree as a painter) and I came to have digital somewhat thrust upon me through my career path. I found initially that it helped greatly to try and use the tools in much the same way as you would traditional media, e.g. use a brush or layer blend that best emulates a something such as a glaze or wash, use a brush that feels like blocking in oil paint, etc. I can't really give you any specifics because it all feels such a long time ago now but, for instance, using a multiply layer is the closest thing to watercolour washes as it is effectively light (not blending) subtractive. If you play with a few brush options on top of that (I'm assuming Photoshop and some sort of pressure sensitive tablet, otherwise - Kudos!) then setting pressure to drive opacity better emulates hard media such as pencil and pastel (and angle can replicate various tips pretty well); pressure driving size better emulates a brush with wet media, etc. It's worth creating a few things you like the feel of, and then saving them as tool presets (like a brush preset, but you can save additional options).
I have a few ink brushes and pencils I've created specifically to feel more like working in a sketchbook if you fancy importing them for a play around.
Hi Jon and thanks again. Yes you are right am paying about on photoshop and a wacom bamboo, and I would love to take you up on your offer of the brushes and pencils to have a play with. This is very appreciated.

Thanks Darren.
That was done in 3D Studio Max (2013, I think). I can't always be arsed, but I think when you know what the scene is, more or less, but want to play around with the composition a bit it's a worthwhile few hours spent.

I hesitated to put this on here and not the doodle thread because I copied McMahon's The Fink so you can't really say it's art but it took me ages, so here it is. I started out thinking, I'll just copy this how hard can it be, then went wrong within minutes because I have no idea about anatomy and composition and couldn't get it back on track. Hence the too big head.

That drawing book (and another one) consists of a drawing a day for the entire year. Some strip work as well. Don't have them with me here.
To say I was obsessed with comics back then would be an understatement. One day there was a bomb scare at school and we weren't allowed to take our belongings home so without any felt tip pens I had no other option that evening but to draw a picture of the Hulk using all I could get my mitts on – a red biro. Painful stuff for me at the time.
I also found some strip work from the late eighties. TBH I wonder if I could do the same now. That kind of technique was 'art colleged' out of me long ago.

Yeah, more!
How old were you? That's good...
Sore point as I'm one of the oldest round here.
Will try and upload more. Some embarrassing stuff such as a Mega-City 10 Judge with a ridiculously silly name.
Meh, I'd been around for a while by '78. We're all old enough to know better.
jeez jon, show us all up!
some stupid doodles i did in my spare time when i should have been drawing other, more realistic important things

Wow, Katie Perry for Hershey? Works for me...
haha I didn't intentionally imagine her while drawing that...but I did work with Katy Perry about a year ago so maybe it's some weird subconscious thing ::)
That Hershey's amazing. Like, you could... lick it... or is that weird? It looks somehow tasty...
Okay, I'll stop now.

Cheers, just did - for some reason my first tweet screwed up so had to redo it.
Always irritates me that after slaving on a pic so long I have to compress the hell out of it to upload it to the web.

Quite, quite jealous of that page, it's luvverly.
Really nice.
Really, really nice.
Mmmmm...anyway...
One of the clients (a tabletop games outfit) I've been doing an increasing amount of work for gain a percentage of their revenue through Kickstarter. As a part of this backers of a certain level can be written in to short adventures and the like along with an accompanying illo. Generally I'm given a mugshot and a brief, and for reasons best known to the AD, a very short time to produce the work. Though I was dubious at first, like so many things that a need to pay the mortgage push you in to, it's been a really useful learning process. I think I might even start doing it for fun (or possibly birthday cards), when I get time.
Here's the latest, the result of three unplanned and weary hours in the small hours of this morning.

Thanks Karl.
Yeah,... sort of... at least I think I was, among other things, but I don't get a massive amount of work in that direction any more. These are more... um... illustrations, I suppose.
I've been doing work for this tabletop games company (this one include) where they tend to say, " Oh, we forgot about this one, can we have it by tonight?" So the concept-ish/ painterly sort of approach comes in handy.
That is great Jon, I think my fav piece from you in a while. She is genuinely creepy, that expression and disjointed poise work a treat.
I don't have anything as original as your piece Jon but here's a Dredd and Anderson piece I just inked.

I decided to flesh out a sketch I did of BatGirl from the New 52. Don't read these comics and I know very little about them. I do, however, love this costume design. I would love to have that BatGirl jacket (maybe minus the cape - I'm not a vigilante).

You're bloody tasty with your space crafts Jon.
You see, I should just say thank you - actually I will, let's do that first. Thank you!
But, "crafts".... is that right? That doesn't sound right...
If "space crafts" is referring to pottery or knitwear made by aliens or spacefolk, it's fine, otherwise, probably not.
Artists! The local village printer, a friend of mine, is looking for a cartoonist for some little jobs (business cards, flyers etc.) so I said I know where there are some talented types.
.
If anyone's interested (the pay won't be much but it's printed work - Ron Smith swears by it) then PM me for the printer's email address.

The latest Art Competition made me think about drawing a picture of Mean Angel looking somewhat tragic with his one human eye betraying his sorrow. The initial pen drawing took about two hors ad I can't say I was entirely happy with it. So I scanned it partially fixed it in photo shop, printed then coloured and rescanned the picture to finish it.
I am in equal measures happy and unhappy with the finished product, which works out on artistic balance (artists are never happy with their work) as being happy.
Looks amazing with colours, Steven. Awesome stuff :D
Very cool Steven, the colour really makes it pop.

Should add, this isnt a re-entry for the art competition, just thought i'd carry on with it :)
Interested to watch this develop Woolly, what was a strong image already has just moved on a level. May I ask if this is one layer of greys purely for assisting the colour stage to come, or a stand alone stage? I am slowly picking up peoples methods of colouring on here (and elsewhere on t'net) and it can boggle my mind sometimes :-[ which isn't hard.

Yeah, its a rock texture base to add shadows, highlights, and a colour layer to.
Its a cunning way of adding details to the colours, and can make them feel a little more natural and less flat.
This should give you an idea:
(http://i1144.photobucket.com/albums/o499/woolly76/krakencolourtest_zps306e1152.jpg) (http://s1144.photobucket.com/user/woolly76/media/krakencolourtest_zps306e1152.jpg.html)
..all the mottled grey of the stone image mixes with the colour layer (which is little more than blobs of simple colour really) rather nicely, i find.
There are some good paper textures available online, that are nice to digitally sketch and paint on also.
Thanks for the info Woolly, may try similar technique if i get to colour my advent calendar entry.

Really like Steven's page, fantastic detail and leaps off the page/screen...
Caught Olivia's likeness perfectly!
Darren, really nice Fire but I can't help but feel that the fire should be brighter unless it's meant to be a sort of magical aura of fire that doesn't give off any light?
Fungus, great old school look!
I am mostly a lurker on the forums and this thread's constant turnover of great and interesting art is probably where I lurk the most.
Very true Steven, it is far too dark. We live and learn! ;)

Drawing of Mongrol using my new Pro-markers and Spectrum Noir pens (Thank you Santa). Yes this does like Iron Man before anyone says but I know these are the usual colours of Mongrol (as far as I am aware?) ::) :-[

Wow Ant, that's fantastic, figure work and perspective are spot on.
Thanks Steve, this one used a 3d model blockout for the bridge which was matched to my initial sketch to suit the perspective. The characters were then adjusted to fit the 3d model by redrawing them accurately to fit on the bridge. I found this easier based off the 3d model as it gave me a clearer view of the scene in 3d space.
Recently I'm trying to mix my skillsets using 3d and 2d to make producing images quicker but also allowing more time for art and creative choices.
Hi Ant. I am trying to do similar at the moment, using 3D images to improve the quality of my 2d stuff. What software do you use for this.
Currently I use sketch-up to create a blocked out version of the scene I want, adjust camera angles to suit what I am after then add the shadows.
This image will then be exported as a Jpeg and inserted into manga studio as a layer. I used this recently on something I did and found it helped me immensely in setting out scenes and also retaining continuity between frames.
I am also interested to see how others would approach this as this is something I have only recently started doing.
Hi amines2058,
For this piece I used Maya but you can use any 3d program really. The program choice comes from what you want to get out of it.
The workflow was as follows:
- Roughs and thumbnails to define my idea
- In Maya I produced the bridge blockout very simple no major details
- Setup the lighting to work with my desired composition
- Rendered an image out that matched the dimensions in pixels of my Manga Studio file.
- Then did the same as you and I used it as a layer and drew over it.
- The characters were drawn freehand to match the bridge perspective but were still based on the original
thumbnail.
- From here it's pencils, inks and colours as normal.
I know 3d software can assist more by rendering out different details in layers. For example
- Initial lighting pass
- Finer texture detail
- Flat shader applied to the model to generate instant colour flats for all 3d elements
- An outline shader to even provide first pass inks.
- An ambient occlusion render to give ambient lighting information.
All these elements can be used as masks and or as a base for colouring. My next project, a short comic will be using all these methods to hopefully improve my speed and also be flexible.
I've seen many uses for 3d in comics and I'm not a huge fan for the most part as it never gels well with the hand drawn work alongside it. My recent images have all been experiments in finding that nice middle ground where it all works.
I feel the pay off will come when doing sequentials as the consistency will be perfect but also if all the above passes are rendered out production time will be decreased a lot.
The usefulness of 3d art vs just drawing it also comes down to how quick you can create the models vs drawing.
great work!

Good on you Ant, yeah I have toyed with the idea but never actually followed it through. I am not a huge fan of the 3D stuff in strip work as I think it looks too contrived and perfer traditional BUT having said that if you can maintain that lovely style you have there and transfer that across then it would work brilliantly. And as you mention if you can save time too - bonus.
Thanks Steve, here are the inks currently. I'm going to get the colouring started and see where I end up.
(https://antodonnell.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/mph_golden_gate_inked.jpg)
Oh yeah nice Ant. Am I allowed to make a suggestion? Top line of the cable nearest to us 'I think' should be a lot heavier line wise, you've got three main elements in the foreground , the cable, the guy running and the pipe. To really give a greater sense of depth thicken up the top line of the cable, perhaps starting really thick and then tapering off as it recedes.
When you color it, you can also push the atmo perspective by lightening the bg. Half the time you drive across the golden gate you can't see the top anyways cuz of the fog. Nice work.
(http://i57.tinypic.com/ir0wn4.jpg)
Hi,
Both awesome suggestions. Thanks Steve and mimikeke
Line thickening / tapering : I'll do a little of this but currently was mainly focused on line weight defined by light / shade and not by distance. There's a bit of tapering happening on the line work of the cable they're running on I felt it can at times go against "accurate" lighting.
Faded BG : Definitely a good call I was messing with colour holds on the bridges line work and this hint at aerial perspective last night. Will update soon enough.
I was aiming to finish this image ASAP but The Order 1886 dropped in my lap earlier so it's a distraction :D
It's interesting stuff.
I'm working on a Dredd strip for Zarjaz currently that heavily features high speed vehicle battles and I built models to help choreograph a lot of it (only after, it must be said, much soul-searching as it still somehow feels like cheating; it's ridiculous how there's a temptation to compartmentalise skill-sets). Anyway, the results relay the action far better than I could've done without.
It's probably an odd point, but I really like the welding on the pipes.
Here's an upgrade on a Hot Dang Doodle, while I'm here;

Hi Jon,
I had the same crisis of conscience also but realised I wouldn't hesitate trying new approaches in my day job as the end result more often than not is better. For now I'm using all my various skills and not forcing myself to stick to one.
The scene you described is perfect for the use of 3d. You can solely focus on action flow and consistency over limiting your creativity by avoiding difficult shots.
Thanks for the welding comments. Just a detail I picked from reference shots of the bridge. Research helps.
Lovely work chaps. Look forward to seeing where you go with the bridge pic, Ant. Looks fantastic so far. Love that wee Beastie, too Jon.
Excuse the double post. Here are a couple of odd panels from a strip I'm currently drawing for Ben Byrnes NSEW comic.

Jon, that's lovely, why have I not seen that before? Tsk. Ant, fair play - I quite like the idea of working with 3D models but wouldn't know where to start so for all intents and purposes will label you both 'cheats'. :p
Darren, lovely panels mate, really nice movement and love the angle of the 2nd one, slightly 'Dutch'. Nice.
One thing I can advise on is getting in to 3d so if you have any questions PM me I'd be happy to help. That goes for anyone interested really.
On a bit of a basic level, I've used Google Sketchup fewcw times to mock up scenes. Would love to use something a little more.....versatile.
I've played around with sketchup briefly. I've used Maya the most with Max coming in second. I also have used Zbrush and mudbox a lot but Maya is fine for general blocking out of locations and props.
You could always try Blender it's a free modelling software that is pretty good. I found it less intuitive to use than Maya but maybe that's due to me using that too much.

Date is real. Same cover date as prog 1.
I'm trying to work out where I copied this from. I always thought it was from the preview image of Dredd in prog 1 but looking online I see that was a different image. So looks like it was from prog 2. Or a 2000AD advert I wonder.
I guessed some or all of the colours. Originally I coloured the boot red. When I found out Dredd's boots were green (possibly weeks later) I went back and fixed that up. Think I coloured the glove yellow then revisited that, correcting it by adding blue (might've been the other way round).
Obviously I lost interest when I got to the logo.

There was a four page preview of 2000ad in some comics before it came out showing that pose, though his boot and the back of the bike are covered up by a speech bubble. It's possible you saw it there first, but it seems most likely that you've copied it from prog 2.

However unlikely this is I really hope there's no reason you drew that. I love the idea that a picture like that came to life with you sitting there, a little bored, twiddling your thumbs, absently mindly stirring into the middle distance... until
"GADZOOKS! I Got it. Commandos bursting out of a strawberry. To work..."
It was so very similar to that, but not quite. Inspired by something rather then out of nowhere but I really did think
"GADZOOKS! I Got it. Commandos bursting out of a strawberry. To work..."
I leave here happy...

Woah :o
Bloody good texturing going on there, got a really nice level of imperfection that makes it look, paradoxically, perfect!*
If I didn't know better, I'd say it was a photograph.
*That sounds like I'm slagging it off, but I'm not. I'm really not.
Thanks Woolly,
The imperfections were added in Zbrush but as you mentioned it's not going overboard that helps. I find producing game art versus comic art always messes with my head. In games it's often about tiny details and attaining some level of realism where comic art for me anyway is better when it's looser, less refined and more dynamic.
That sums up my art process constant contradiction depending on my mindset at the time.

I'm no art critic, but that looks stunning to me :o
Your use of contrast in the colours really brings out what a bright image it is, and the feeling of weight you given the masseur works perfectly - you can genuinely see the pressure she's using.
Great picture, Jayzus, I'm quite envious! You should be very proud.
Very nice Jayzus, and it's definitely one of the hardest media (albeit really acrylic here). Nice timing, I've set time aside today and plan to dabble in some watercolour too.
As for 'how to use', I don't think you can beat trial-and-error, and when you encounter supposed 'rules', ignore them and see what happens...
Thanks for your kind words, guys! I've used one of the business's photos for reference; it's either a stock one or they've 'acquired' it from someone else's site. (I suspect the latter, but feck it, their money is as good as anyone's...)
Would love to see some of your watercolour dabbling, Fungus.
Here you go Jayzus :)

Posted some older watercolour stuff here a few months back too. Happy with this, but look at the highlights: globs of white (acrylic) instead of leaving the white paper... Sacrilege, and proof I wasn't careful enough. White is the key, it's not just a colouring-in exercise :| A tough medium...

Brillant! I really like that. Really nice work on the hand, something I have loads of trouble drawing / painting.

someone would mention a happy ending; as surely as night follows day ;)

It's a Zarjaz Christmas Charlie Brown! Dirty Frank as Pigpen is inspired
There's a lot that's inspired about that. Fantastic Albion.
Thanks guys.
I'm not sure about Nemesis/Snoopy but I'm happy with Skizz/Woodstock, I struggled to think of what to do with Woodstock. Also, I'm never sure what colour Nemesis and Skizz are supposed to be, they seem to change.
Pigpen just had to be Dirty Frank. :lol:
The advantage of Nemesis as Snoopy is you could have Grobbendonk as Woodstock - which would be great if Skizz wasn't so perfect for the part!
Nemesis is perfect for Snoopy, as well as he's other, where as most of the rest are human(ish)
I didn't manage to make it for the art comp once again. Might as well show my effort here.

Hi Hawkmonger, the weekly TAB is the 'Weekly Themed Art Blog'. It is a group on that there Facebook run by our very own CrazyFoxMachine.
It does exactly what it says on the tin, and has a different theme every week for group members to submit old or new art to. I am a member myself but do not get the chance to do half as many entries as I would like.
And buy the way Flip that is a lovely drawing!

Violent night - sole-y night.
Ooops. Sorry. I've posted those before. Silly me.
Some of you chaps are no doubt fed up of me saying I used to be obsessed with drawing comics in my youth. While others were out socialising, drinking etc it was all about drawing for me. I have sketchbooks from the 70s with mainly superhero drawings for every single day of the year. Then art college came along and that wasn't the done thing. One tutor commented on a Johnny Alpha drawing I did on a portfolio: "when are you going to stop drawing that rubbish?" Joseph Beuys was her thing.
Decades on, most of my art stuff was binned by some ****ing idiot electricians when they rewired my mother's house. But recently I came across some sketchbooks which survived.
Thought I'd scan a page and upload it here. I pasted this into an A3 sketchbook. I drew it (without reference material) I reckon in 1984 would you believe it? Unfinished of course.
Feels a bit odd posting something so old here, but what the heck.
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x141/mycenaean/DDsm_zpsvagmjbdb.jpg~original)
Very glad you did. Without being impertinent how old would you have been when you did that. Love the way you can see the steps taken to get to your current stuff (which frankly we don't see enough of these days!)
Cor that's good!

Good one Albion.
Cheers Tordelback and Colin. I reckon I was 18 at the time I drew that. So it's a bit scary if one does the math. Really wish I could draw more – just not feasible in recent years. Guess it's up to me to try and squeeze the time out of something else. But with drawing comes the guilt that I could be getting on with other more mundane things. And I feel bad I have left people in the lurch when I have said I will draw strips. Bah, coulda been a contender.

nice, I love that film - so sad when Louie goes floating off into space!
Just rediscovered this today from many years back....I didn't write it, but I did draw it, just for fun.

That's great (I wouldn't trust that rather evil looking beaver though...)
In the same way as those Portland ones you did, I can see that on a t-shirt in one of the tourist gift shops

Homage parody to the great French artist Jean Giraud als known as Moebius, joining two characters originally created (or co-created by him): Arzach and Lietenant Blueberry (created by Giraud and Belgian writer Charlier):

This mashup between antropomorfic animals and barbarian fantasy I drew for fun was originally done for a "Heavy Metal Magazine" cover design contest at threadless.com:

Recreation of "Tales of Suspense" #20 (1963) starring Iron-Man against Gargantus but replacing them for characters created by Brazilian cartoonist Mauricio de Sousa: "Astronauta" (Astronaut) and "Piteco" (nickname for Pithecantropus). Both characters appeared for the first time as comic strips in the Brazilian newspapers: the first "Astronauta" strip was published in 1963, the first "Piteco" strip was published in 1961. Currently, both characters are published as back-up series in various Mauricio de Sousa's comic books as "Monica" and "Cebolinha".

Homage to the great and fun animated cartoon series and also a homage/parody to the great 1960s rock'nroll bands. The illustration spoofs the cover of a Rolling Stones album:"Between the Buttons":

I'm not convinced it's entirely successful, I should have paid much more attention to the perspective and drawing explosions is just hard! I do enter these things just for fun though :)

baef, that Judge Fear is stunning! He's never looked more menacing!! Absolutely fantastic artwork!
Speaking of Judge Fear, I did a little piece on him recently in an attempt to stoke the dying embers of my drawing mojo... feels like it's slipping away again. It's nowhere near as good as baef's artwork, but here it is nonetheless...

Tulio_Vilela - have you done any small-press comic work? You have a great style - be good to see you on an extended story.
Hi, Greg! Thank you too much for your gentle words! No, I didn't anything in small-press. Professionally, I'm a History teacher in my country. I would love to draw something in small-press. I have some experience on scripts, when I was still in high school, I sold some scripts (with rough sketches like a storyboard) to Brazilian Disney Comics in the early 19902 and, recently, some cartoons of mine are in the Cartoonstock website.
Cheers!
Going through some 5yr old files, due to setting up a new home PC, I stumbled across these.
Pages from what would've been Death To The Future 2 for Zarjaz.
Never came to fruition due to sever crapiness on my behalf, no reflection on Lee Robson's excellent script and Bolt01's infinite editor patience.
Thought something might as well see the light of day. (Quite like the last Mortis page)

That's fantastic work! I would love to see more sequential work from you... of pin-up's basically anything! why do you hide your art from us!
Wow, cheers guys, very much appreciated.
Glad the cheeky Anderson comes through. In my mind I start with that Bolland cover of her being dragged into the grave and channel humour for her from there.
Wooly, TBH it's as far as I got before the black dog struck, as it's want to do, so after 5yrs I just stored it under another false start and didn't even consider finishing it.
Which does mean the awesome reason for Anderson's tear goes unanswered, and part two of DTTF part two was KILLER...
Bad Dunk!
Rest assured, the black dog is a lying twat who should be banished, not this lovely, lovely art. You have my permission to reopen the case files and finish it, because it's that good.
-PJ
(not that you need my permission, but you have it!)
I've filed this under 'wouldn't it be lovely if...' and moved along.
Shame, but it's lovely to see other folk remind Dunk just how good he is. He's plain and simple one of my fave comic artist out there and it is a shame he's not able to make a living drawing funny pictures!
Great work, Dunk! Would love to see you continue it!
Well, cheers again guys for the kind words.
Lots of food for thought.
Dunk!
I can only echo what the rest say - lovely stuff!
I'd love to see more of this
Dunk!, you totally could make a living off your art. artists of lesser ability have done it. I particularly like your facial expressions. comics artists commonly can't do facial expressions very well. I do not know the plot (obviously) but I could roughly figure out what happened in the story without a word.
about your reference to a "black dog": do not listen to what shrinks have to say. don't even listen to yourself, certainly not to anyone else who agrees that you can't do it. keep on going.
Hope to see more of your artwork! I like as the figure drawing (gesture, facial expressions etc) as the inking and the storytelling. Congratulations!

Going through some 5yr old files, due to setting up a new hhe me PC, I stumbled across these.
Pages from what would've been Death To The Future 2 for Zarjaz.
Never came to fruition due to sever crapiness on my behalf, no reflection on Lee Robson's excellent script and Bolt01's infinite editor patience.
Thought something might as well see the light of day. (Quite like the last Mortis page)

As it's 40 years of 2000AD and all that, I got all sentimental and dug up this photo.
It's not quite 40-years-old as it is probably from 1978.
We were planning on changing the wallpaper in my bedroom so I asked my Dad if my brother and me could draw on the walls. Kind of disappointed him as we mostly scrawled nonsense, but he was rather proud of this giant-sized Dredd I painted and would bring up relatives to show it to them.
Of course, true to form, I never finished it, which is why Dredd is one-armed.

These are great Shark - seeing your work inspired me to download GIMP 2.8 last night. How did you learn to use GIMP - trial and error or did you find a good tutorial?
For one of the art comps I downloaded a trial of Corel Painter 11 (a free limited trial) and found it easy to use but it has since expired. Playing around with GIMP it seems more difficult to achieve the quality you are producing - well done!
Judge Rogue, may I suggest you take a look at Clip Studio (formally Manga Studio...). I originally used Corel Painter for all my digital painting/colouring- and still have it installed, upto 2016s version- but moved over to Clip a few years back . It's really nice to use, pretty cheap at the mo, too!

Just a thought. ;) Also agreed. That's some lovely colouring Shark! :)
Thanks, chaps :)
Rogue, I'm actually using some old Photoshop tutorials I acquired ages ago and then forgot about (they're about digital painting and colouring in PS4 and 7!), it's just a case of figuring out the equivalent tools, settings and methods - which is pretty easy as they're mostly exactly the same. When I get stuck, a quick online search points me in the right direction. There are lots of GIMP tutorials online - maybe too many, which can be confusing when trying to figure out where to start. I suggest picking a project then diving in, figure out what you can by playing and look for specific tutorials as you need them or get stuck - that's all I'm doing.
In my experience, the easiest graphics package I ever used was CorelDRAW, which I found to be very well laid out and intuitive (unlike Photoshop and the GIMP, which seem unnecessarily fiddly to me) but I'm running on a Linux OS now so Corel's out because I can't be bothered messing about with WINE and such.
As for Corel Painter, I think that's a fantastic program and particularly like the image rotate function, which makes drawing and colouring so much easier. If only the GIMP had that, it'd be ten times better!
A final version of this image.....changed the proportions a little, fixed the hair and added an ear! 😊

And stunning work from SIP also, great stuff.
Sharkey's colouring jobs are extremely good also :thumbsup:
Ah, this threads great...
Lovely image, SIP, the kind of art that makes me face up to how crap I am :(
Thanks for the advice Darren Stephens, I have heard (and seen) great things about Manga Studio, and noticed this program used by some Droids for coloring as well. It is cheaper than I thought it would be too. Your art is excellent too by the way, very detailed!

Thanks for the info Shark. A mix of tutorials and practice is good advice. Until I buy a program (Manga Studio for instance) GIMP will be a great learning tool. I'm going to start working on an entry for this months art comp. and will use it as an opportunity to play around with GIMP. Much appreciated.
SIP - great work and colors, I like how clean your lines are! (your art style actually reminds me a little of the excellent Tim Seeley)
Thanks so much chaps, really appreciate the positive comments! 😊
I was working on a story idea about a starship captain getting accidentally jettisoned in an escape pod with an engineer's mate (third class) and an evil cat. The following image was almost complete when I realised that it's just

Don't worry about that basic premise sounding like Red Dwarf.
I've been watching a series lately about a group of people on the run who have taken command of the most advanced starship in the universe.
So, am I watching Blakes 7, Farscape or Lexx? Three totally different series which bear little in common with each other apart from what I've said in that sentence!
Good point, Sheridan, thanks!

Speaking of which - misfits on a spaceship cast light years away from home and encountering strange and unusual situations as they head back across the galaxy towards Earth - Red Dwarf or Star Trek Voyager?
Add Star Wars Rebels and Firefly for similar starship-based adventures. Misfits on the losing side of a past battle travel the systems, struggling to survive in a galaxy suddenly hostile to their cause?

I sometimes wonder how much Joe has to tilt his head backward (or is it his helmet, forward?) to get that "jaw-jutting" effect. I guess by the 22nd century those helmets must have built-in windshield defoggers or something, but you'd still think he'd get smudges in the center of it from his nose rubbing up against the visor. :lol:

"Assume the position, creep!"
That's so cool! Especially when you have one of those cover illustrations where it's looking right AT you, it seems to beg for some interaction via a word balloon. It seems to be considered gauche and declasse to put dialogue on covers these days, like HEY, DIS IS SOME FINE AHRT HERE, show some respect!!!
I'm not saying we should turn back the clock to taping plastic 'free gift's to the covers or anything (the horror! the horror!!), but hey they should lighten up a little... It's supposed to be fun!
It almost seems like there should be tiny letters stenciled into the flat wooden end of the daystick that read "If you can read this - Surrender now! This is your final warning."
Kev O'Neill always seemed to work those little lettering jokes into the background somewhere when he saw a chance.

Very nice effect indeed with the background framing and the colour highlighting. I like the basic bold cartoon colours, to which your lighting has given an interesting effect, and just the general solid chunky-ness of the figures.
As I reflect on it now, it's a good character design that allows so many liberal interpretations of the small details while keeping the character always instantly recognizable regardless of the many various artists' individual styles. You can always see some bits and pieces of the early landmark 2000AD artists in later iterations of the character, too. Here I can see a couple of visual reminders of McMahon and the Biz.

Hey Jase,
I like that a lot!
It has a kinda Dillon vibe to it.
Cheers Stu101! High praise indeed-appreciate it mate
Thumbs aloft indeed! There's some fine illustration there mate!

I'd have said a Paul Marshall vibe meself... Great stuff!
As is everything else, especially the Pat Mills portrait. There's a certain audacious quality to the colours and the style, which fits the subject perfectly. Striking, eye-catching, and mesmerising. Brilliant piece of work.
Thanks Woolly! I'll take mesmerising :) He's no shrinking violet...
And I got a whiff of Trevor Hairsine from the Dredd - lovely version.
Cracking Dredd, Jase!
I can't be the only person who thought of this, can I?

Going to see if I can manage the whole of Inktober this year. I'm using the official 'prompt list' and trying to keep everything quick and not over-think, which is one of the things that reduces my output to next to nothing. So... do it. Stick it up. Move on...

Go for it Jim. I considered it in past years and actually started it this time. 6 days in, 6 ink sketches and I'm hooked. Might try to get ahead of the game (hilarious without free time...) just to tide me over.
Today's was a Batman. I may drop the scattergun approach and go 'comics' from here on. Not sure... :-)
Thanks! Unsurprisingly, however, work immediately torpedoed days two through seven. I may try to squeeze a couple more in before the end of the month. :-(

That is remarkable. Amazing. Can we just give this fella a lifetime prize for all future art comps? I'm off to throw my pencils in the bin...
Yes, an amazing amount of detail. Thanks for posting Andy.
Thank you so much..! It took a while to do, I'm a bugger with detail - too much perhaps, but as long as the end result looks good, that's the main thing.
Just wish there was some news on the comp...
Andy - that is one outstanding piece of art there brother!
Well, I'd already snapped my pencils after the last piece of work you posted, so am now reduced to sanding the remains down to sawdust.
I hope you're happy with yourself, young man ;)
Seriously though, that is [spoiler]fucking[/spoiler] stunning!
Flip, MenschMaschine and Andy. Three incredible bits of art there, thank for sharing!
Thanks so much chaps! Sorry about the snapped pencils.... I've seen many a piece on these boards that make me wanting do the same...!

That's very nice Alex, and Fungus- I'd love to see the original of that. Scans of good ballpoint drawings lose 'so much' IMO.
Wow both of those, Black Panther and Kev O'Neill are stunning.
As that wise man Bolt says would be fantastic to se that ball point picture in the flesh. Always love seeing a biro used to such effective use.

These are the inks for my recent Dredd picture....just for fun.
It's actually about 25 individual pictures......I had to draw the whole thing in pieces, mostly on scrap paper, on my lunch breaks and whenever else I could fit it in over 6 weeks. Then eventually cleaned it all up and put it together in Photoshop.
Just 'cos I think that's fantastic and I particualrly like the textures you give JD's top that in no way means I endorse your opinions on The Last Jedi.
The bloke on the far left with the high collar is that based on someone? For some reason he's ringing bells?
Ha ha, cheers Colin! And don't worry, I learned my lesson and have fully withdrawn from any Star Wars debate and opinion online.....I annoy less people that way.
No, the guy on the left is just a standard citizen, only established characters in there are Rico (late addition), Walter, a blob.....and possibly chopper.
Beautiful drawing, SIP - such crisp, clean lines, and I love the inclusion of characters from so long ago. Fantastic stuff!
Thanks so much Andy - and congratulations to you sir!
Thank you..! :D
Excellent work SIP

So, I had to pick something suitable from the Hachette pile. Necropolis seemed apt. Halfway through and it's tremendous. I haven't read this stuff since the weekly progs and literally have only the faintest idea where this is going.
Thank you Carlos. The best.

Yoinks! There's a question...
I suspect each eye would make one side completely disappear? Maybe? Must try with those Eagle specs next time I'm in the Loft of Comics :)
And... experiment to make this work. How hard can it be?

Hey! That is a great image SIP, I like the inclusion of the bio wire. Didn't see this before - did it not get shared?
Thanks Sinx, glad you like it.
Sadly no, it didn't get posted prior to the comp ending. I would recommend that you check out the Facebook group for the competition as i think about 80 unseen entries got posted there all in one go after the winner was announced. Some really top notch work in there.
I'm guessing a lot of them will go unseen.
That's a great pic SIP. Thanks for sharing. Top quality Hoppas too.

Fantastic Andy! Very creepy...Judge Cal and the Joker rolled up into one. A great idea for a commission too.
Many thanks, Rogue! :)
Andy - that's lovely. A really nice, piece.
Cool stuff, Andy :thumbsup:

Me! Complete newbie and novice at any for of art involving ink - even though I recently acquired a lot of ink on my back over the summer. I think it might be the tattooing that has sparked my interest.

Dear Santa,
I don't ask you for much and I've been a very good boy this year so if you could make this cross-over happen...
Wasn't his being a Dark Judge enough for you? Probably not; Die Laughing wasn't quite worth the wait.
Did some tarting up of old sketches for Inktober, but had to stop when my grey pen ran out...

Just brilliant as ever Woolly. Especially like the texturing on Dredd's uniform.
Woolly, mate - you really are a fantastic artist. I've always loved your work and these recent pieces are just brillant..!

The future war scenes were always my favourite part of the original films.
That's just lovely. Totally captures the sense of dread and the ruthlessness of the Terminator.
Woolly, i commented on your helmetless Dredd on Instagram but have just noticed the square eyes! Love it.
Ah, I thought that was you! Cheers mate :)

Congrats to the art winners today!
Thought I'd drop this in here chaps, my last entry for the art comps.
I put my heart and soul into this one whenever I could find time over the last couple of months. As I don't think that anyone ever really saw it.....I thought that here would seem like a good final resting place for it :)
Drawn in pen and ink on A2 paper, coloured on clip art......high def version on my deviantart, this looks really compressed for some reason.
Cheers
Simon.
Looks awesome - this could be a Prog cover :thumbsup:
(https://i.ibb.co/2j9ghZM/DEATH-NEW.jpg)
This was originally started as an entry for the Judge Death competition back before Christmas, but I ended up losing all confidence in it and abandoning it (which happens with basically every drawing I start nowadays), only to come back to it over the weekend (with enough distance from it to be able to see why it wasn't working) and finish it up. Missed the deadline, but thought I'd share here anyway.
Aside from the tiny thumbnail pencil sketch, this was drawn start to finish on my iPad in Procreate.
Okay Rads, next comp, ....
DONT GIVE UP!!!!!
That is quality stuff.
Thanks.
....and this is one I started for the Dredd competition. Same story - finished it to 80%, then suddenly lost all enthusiasm for it. Came back to it now, 18ish months later to finally finish it. One of those where the final inks and colours seemed to destroy all of the energy of the original sketch and I had to restart it from scratch multiple times. For some reason I like it much better in just black and white - might go back and take another stab at adding colours later.
(https://i.ibb.co/qsPMrQp/DREDD-BW-NEW.jpg)
Oh the Dredd is superb Radiator. There's so many nice little details that remind me of what the sub-Hewlett Droids went for but without feeling forced as their's often did. The flowers, the eagle's poor old head - just so great and as you say full of energy.
Welcome back, Radiator! Lovely to see new works from you!
With Facebook coming up with a weird new emoji, Steve Green (I think) suggested there should be a Judge Death version.
Just for fun, here's my quick ink and felt pen attempt.
(https://i.imgur.com/DLDHglE.jpg)
Here's the plain ink version if anyone else would like a go at colouring him.

Also, I can't remember if I posted this. A friend of mine in Aberdeen was feeling a bit down after recovering from an illness, and he's both a Dredd fan, and a Nightmare on Elm Street fan.
To cheer him up I drew him this - DREDDY KRUEGER!

Thanks, Colin - I've been keeping busy during my furlough, but I'm back to work this week so that's my creativity done with for now...
The Nemesis piece is astounding. Glad to see you've been busy!
Thanks, Bolt - the need to fund driving lessons was a pretty good motivator...

Amazing!
Yes, super Artwork. These shots should all be Prog Covers.

That's really nice, that - the type of clean, crisp line I strive for but never achieve. Reminds me a bit of Dredd in that Texas City story in the Megazine - Yan Shimony if I remember correctly?

Is that the one with Hershey in her pants, and an over-use of the phrase 'Slam his butt in pokey!'?
Bloody awful as I recall, but the art was indeed very nice :)
As for the linework, I finally invested in one of them USB lightpads so I could ink straight onto a clean piece of card. I thoroughly recommend this :thumbsup:
I really shouldn't post this yet, as it's for my mate's 50th which isn't til friday, but...
(https://i.imgur.com/YmqopEN.jpg)
I've had to rush alot of this (as shown by the crap black cat at the front), but I'm still feeling very pleased :)
As posted in the 'activities of the trapped' thread, I've spent a fair bit of time in the last year doing some linocuts. Still relatively new to the process but it's an enjoyable one. I'm still figuring out what I can do and what I need to work on but I'm getting there, kind of - at least I don't hate everything about the finished articles. I committed to this back in 2019 when I bought a 100 year old book press - a giant beast of a thing; 50 x 50 cm plate and weighs 300 - 400 kg+. Anyway, a few examples below - a few others are done and a some other stuff in the pipeline... Anyone else doing this kind of thing? There's so much to explore in terms of the method (paper alone is a huge area to get into) and I'm still at the bottom of a lengthy learning curve. However, it's nice to spend some time doing something arty as I spend next to no time drawing these days, other than birthday cards for the boys. Ho hum.

I've seen the pop up on Facebook but man they are excellent and its nice to see them gathered together here in one place.
Thanks, Colin - they're fun to do and, being as objective as possible, I definitely feel I've improved since I started these (the first things I did are okay though and I quite liked the designs so I might revisit them in future). Still trying to figure out where my strengths lie with this stuff but the main thing is enjoying the process really.
Looks like I'm sharing my art stuff again.
This is a painting I did, in oils (for the first time in over 10 years) for my Mum as a Christmas present. It's of a statue at the Eden Project which we visited in 2019 after a really shit year for us. It went down really well and I'm glad my choice was appreciated.

Great stuff, Sharky. I always forget you've got the skillz when it comes to drawing, even though you've posted quite a few very good pieces over the years.
Also great stuff, there, Eddy - could be taken straight out of a 70s / early 80s prog.
I've 'ad me Wacom out again. (Blame Jim for stirring the old juices...)
First, another Sketch Comp work up.
(https://www.udrop.com/cache/plugins/filepreviewer/200951/3731004e9d8d4a9fcfd2bdb9a0a53495d27679b3be64b0c15fdf976c410bf37d/1100x800_cropped.jpg)

Lastly, always good to finish with a bit of Old Joe. There's no real point to this image other than practising with the Smudge Tool. And if you're going to practice, you might as well do it on something that's great to begin with - and that's the story of this...

I like those very atmospheric- also lots to find in the 2nd one.
Is it a montage of favourite films?
I've recently got my hands on a new Graphics tablet/Screen, and been having a play on it tarting this one up a bit...
(https://i.imgur.com/UQr9eZI.jpg)
..I really *really* like this new tablet!
That's playing with a tablet - PLAYING!!! Wow - that's stunning Woolly.
Thanks, Trooper. That second one started out as a variation of the first, a kind of "Alien: Raj" idea, but somehow mutated into a mash-up. I had immense fun figuring out how to replicate the Predator cloaking field! Woolly, I have a tablet too but entirely lack your level of awesome. That is superb.

I remember that one from a couple of Xmas's ago if memory serves and I liked it then.
How many more hours did you spend tarting it up or does the new tablet quicken up the process to minutes?
Thanks guys :)
I probably spent about 4/5 hours on the tarting up phase.
Working directly on the screen, being able to actually look at my hand while I paint has really changed the digital experience for the better!
I thoroughly recommend it!
And the painting continues!
Hopefully be done in a couple of days...

Wooly each time I look at it I wonder how that's not finished - its amazing.
PJ Holden that is just fantastic.
All the current love for Pete Wells (from me and Jayzus, at least!) reminded me of this that I did for his birthday. Can't remember if I posted it here or not, so you're getting it again!

Visual storytelling at it's best.
Have to agree. Good work PJ! I like this style... suits the story v well.
Double post alert. Woolly, that is just awesome work! Gorgeous stuff!
PJ that is powerful stuff. Fantastic and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing PJ, that was great !!!!
Yep, I'll echo that. Really good stuff; like one of the better Deadline one-offs.
Beautiful work PJ. Thanks.

Paul Darrow as Avon, just for the hell of it.

Indeed it is.
Thought I'd (digitally) paint over a piece I did a while back, and I'm pretty pleased with how it's come out :)
Not quite finished yet, so might post an update later.

Great stuff. Good to see Anderson looking like a real 60-odd year old too, the whole sexy pin-up look is pushing the limits of disbelief - suspension these days.

Yeah exactly that. There's a few artists who respect the fact Anderson has aged - and this is another great example of that.
Thanks all. The age thing, and the non-sexual thing, were definitely on my mind when doing this.
I still feel I was too kind though, and painted her at mid-40s instead of the early sixties that she now is.
One to work on I guess!
It's all good - I'll buy that a future 60-something-year-old will look like a modern-day 40-something-year-old. Don't get me wrong, I do miss the ridiculously sexy young Anderson of the Ewins days, but it just doesn't wash any more.
A little Dredd animation I did Clipstudio. Hoping to add to it as I go.

I really have a blast with 2000ad property it's so full of engagement potential. Usually aggressive but alway a chance to experiment with the subjects and palette because they re such a part of my background. So when I'm burned out at the end of the year you'll find me coming back to them as a restorative device to regain balance , confidence and determination.
Ok. I'll resist sending any more over. Thanks for your time. Hope to see y'all in Bristol.

Wonderful stuff. Particularly fond of the Stront piece. The energy in it is incredible!
Rooting through old files, I just found this pic of a concept sketch I did ages ago for Davey at
Paragon. I was quite chuffed with it at the time...
(https://www.udrop.com/cache/plugins/filepreviewer/884411/6916c430e7cc8843e5a178b0de431ca0776845523daef176c0e40d523a817459/1100x800_cropped.jpg)
And you should still be well chuffed with it. I don't know the characters or if they ever made it past concept but it's pretty good- I take it was all done digitally?
How long does something like that take?
Thank you :)
Bludd and Xandi have indeed made several appearances in Paragon but I don't think they were very popular. It was all done digitally on a wonky Wacom plugged into a hookey copy of Corel Draw*, if I remember correctly. It was back in 2008ish so my memory's a bit vague. I have no idea how long it took, probably a couple of days with breaks for tea and telly. I usually don't do sketches, preferring to rely on the superior skills of the proper artist, but occasionally I feel it helps to chuck one in.
*I loved that program! I wish I could get a Linux version.

But can he sing?
Sing? Nah - too busy blowing my own trumpet! :lol:
Nice to see this threads alive again! Some lovely work there Hoagy.
This is a year or two old now, it's not finished. Abandoned it in the end when circumstances forced me to sell my drawing pad thingy. Alas.

"Bludd and Xandi have indeed made several appearances in Paragon"
And was pencilled by Tom Newell, inked by me with splash pages coloured by Karen Holloway. 2 out of 3 of them are now artdroids for Tharg!
It gives me a warm glow to know that several of the people who have worked on my scripts for Paragon and FQP went on to the House of Tharg. Not that there's anything special about my work, you understand, but I'm content to have provided a little practice for much more talented folk.

Yes I decided to mark my appearances with some6hing more in keeping with the 2000ad and was surprised no one had already chosen Hoagy. But originally, yes the name was Krombasher. I don't drink now so the old worm beater seems a bit defunct.
I like Hoagy. It's a bit dippy a bit dozy but means well. But does he??? We may never know.
Great stuff, Hoagy. Also didn't realise you were Krombasher. Weird how your mental image of a fellow boarder can completely change depending on their board name.
I've had mine for over 20 years now :o . Definitely not the boardname I would choose nowadays but feck it, I'm stuck with it now.

Hope you're doing fine, too :-)
Oh good. I'm relieved your tender is at least lined.

Really enjoying these posts Hoagy. Great stuff. I don't know how you're hammering them out so quick!
Those are absolutely brilliant, Hoagy. I'll tell you what, they piss all over Bisley's last crack at Joe and Ro-Jaws.
And a belated happy birthday!
That Nemesis feels so alive, and full of movement. And your Warriors are all spot-on.
Brilliant stuff!
Thank you ALL very much. It's a pleasure.
This is a quick picture I did of my current character for my TTRPG groups game of Mothership, Jocasta Neuro. She is an android and a leader within a android rights group called the Android Liberation Front.
I think it's obvious what I drew a lot of inspiration from, so I think it's appropriate to share.

Nice work - I dig the background too.
Love it Pictsy- especially the retro 80s headphones- is there a Sony Walkman just out of shot attached to her belt? 😂
Great stuff Pictsy!
That's a difficult angle to draw a face from, but you've nailed it.
Thank you all for the kind words. It's been great getting a positive reaction to it - I'm very happy with how it turned out.
I have a few other more recent pieces I'm almost as happy with, but they don't have any connection of 2000AD related stuff.
Quote from: Trooper McFad on 21 September, 2023, 04:16:38 PMis there a Sony Walkman just out of shot attached to her belt? 😂
Absolutely.
After a recent couple of sessions where she lost agency as a crazed A.I. took control of her body I had her listening to music with it to help her centre herself. Just so I could make reference to the picture and a previous Traveller game where I played a musician character.
A sketchy Dredd...

That's great PJ. I especially like the spectral hands. I'm attempting to do some drokktober. Here's yesterday's rustic sketch for the first prompt, "Dredd". Today's is 'Max Normal'.

Another Drokktober sketch - today's prompt Max Normal. I've based him on Clarke Gable. Any idea who inspired him originally? It's the future, so let's have him chatting up a robot. Who has to be Morrigun.

It's new to me too - saw it on Facebook. The77-2000ad group is posting it every day. Clint Langley has taken part on the first two prompts.
Some blurb:
IT'S HERE! THE OFFICAL PROMPT LIST FOR DROKKTOBER'23
Don't forget to @drokktober #drokktober #drokktober23 #drokktober2023
1. Dredd.
2. Max Normal.
3. What if...Judges did the Ads?
4. Ma 'Green Fingers' Mahaffy and her Brainblooms.
5. Final Meal guests. You have five guests from the world of 2000 AD for your final meal. Who would they be and if you want, why?
6. Anderson.
7. 'Mutie the Pig'.
...
Loving that Max!

Gable would have been perfect in the role of an ageing Max. That dude was one smooth cat.

Thanks both! The warriors was my art stars entry a while back.
Drokktober day 3. Prompt is, what if Judges did ads? Well they'd probably arrest everyone. Here's that Levi's ad where the guy strips off in the robo-laundry. Dredd's not having it. Keep the pants on, citizen!

"Doodling" !!! That's nothing like anything I doodle the details in the laundromat are brilliant.
What are you doodling with - any special pens or just a ballpoint?

Well thanks very much! I'm using a "brush pen" for the foreground characters and a "01 micron" fine liner, which is .25mm, for the laundromat. Brush pens are new to me but I'm enjoying using it, it can make a nice line. Easy to mess up the line thickness though, I'm discovering

If it isn't, you're drawing it wrong.
Drokktober day 5. Skipped a couple. Prompt is Anderson. Reference this time - a Linda Hamilton photo, and Henry Flint for the uniform. Took my time with this one! Didn't quite get the face; rest is OK.

Wow, that's a nice compliment thanks Shark. If only! I do love his detailed style. Can't imagine how he did it panel after panel.
Cheers Troop! Very kind.
Great use of black, Fink, nice new positioning for Anderson and especially like the light bounce on her cheek you've created with crosshatching.

Cheers Hoagy, it's lit more or less as in the photo reference, which was high contrast, lots of black, my cup of tea. Yeah I was pleased with the cheek and the knee pad on the left came out quite nicely :)

Just a sultry crusader of the law with his day stick.
Lot of confident energy going on there - me like.
Great stuff Hoagy don't know what his intentions are with the day stick but I don't want to be on the end if it (literally) - now get cracking on a Xmas one for the Advent 😉 👍🏻
Great pic, what a pose - Dredd looks like someone just insulted his daystick. The temerity!
Le Fink - Bloody hell mate :o Sharky wasn't wrong with his comparison to Arthur Ranson! Extraordinarily good stuff!
Hoagy - Fantastic stuff yet again. Particularly good shoulder eagle!

Blimey thanks! While not traced, it's very much cleaving to reference, so don't get too excited ;)
Recently read some John Burns interviews where he said illustrators should use reference but not be a slave to it. I would love to have that ability! It requires so much time practicing figure drawing.

I'm sure I read somewhere a few years ago that the Ranson droid was taking photo's of fans at conventions, to use as background characters in his panel work. With their consent of course!
But take that with a pinch of salt - my memory is a bit swiss cheese these days...
Thanks very much for your kind comments.

Very nice portrait Hoagy. I've never tried to draw Alpha. His costume looks even more elaborate than Dredd's!

He's a bit lopsided but I really tried to get his look correct. Strontium dog is one of those characters that has an ever evolving uniform in my mind. Some fan specifics come along and stay in place but once you research him you find there are a few variations on the pads and the belts, Fink. I find that room from for play.

Again trying to get a vibrant crisp digital edge on the scoring of the Judge Death here. Again ending up with an oily rendition.
Great portraits Hoagy and that Dredd Head is stunning. Loving the light shading around the mouth and chin. The helmet looks crisp to me. Nice shadow and gum/teeth highlights under the Death Head helmet.
Have you got an example of the particular effect you're striving for? I'm barely a beginner when it comes to digital painting so not much help but I'm interested in how you're generating your pieces and where you're aiming for.
Death's a bit wonky. There's a better image through the DA link in the link below it. As for inspiration, there's subversive girl...(https://i.imgur.com/LSxDOty.jpg)

A bit plasticky on the organic materials but I'm liking certain incidents in this one. Shoulder pads are uneven but what the hey, maybe he's got different categories per victim. Maybe be able to start adding a little flare to the next ones...

Brilliant piece, thoroughly worthy of an A3 print :)
Yes, excellent work. A spooky ethereal sheen going on - nice!
Thanks very much Woolly. Yeah I'd say A3 is this piece's destined print size. A2 is a bit much for it and A4 shows nothing of its hidden gems. Such as the utility belts and the bits of detail pinning it together. A2 would be too much guts in ya face on the other hand. Mind you if I was decorating my twenty year old self's man cave I might be tempted. A3 would be a good fit in any home though.
Thanks Sharky!

Thank you Fink. And Shark. I hope I'm not over doing it just that I'd done that crossfire Dredd a while back and as I was readying this most recent pic I thought the bought may dig it.
Hoagy both are great and I think the poses are what makes them stand out. Favourite is the Dredd cross armed one and I know it could be any judge but in my head this is Dredd doing a gansta rap music vid.
Just my silly/crazy mind at work
Wow excellent stuff chaps
Great Stuff Hoagy, Dredd with the crossed arms instantly reminded me of the trainspotting poster.
Excellent work Hoagy. Love the Dredd/Anderson composition and the Dark Judges on the last page are pure fire - well, technically one quarter fire... I'm so funny. :D
Thankyou.
I forgot about trainspotting as a reflection of that pose. Law is obviously Dredds drug eh? But the gangster rapper I thought of too as the picture came to fruition. Dredd is ten times more dangerous though, I think.
I'm glad the Anderson and Dredd composition is being received well. Sometimes it's best to let the psychic deal with the psychic stuff, right? While laying down some covering fire.
Thanks for the bump on dark judges pic too Nightbook.

For what it's worth I'll point to a couple of things I really like: firstly the placement/positioning of Anderson's arms/hands. You've really captured/hinted at something ephemeral (which is probably not quite the right word but I can't think of a better one). Also the way you've tilted Anderson's head back: I find any kind of worm's eye view an absolute [REDACTED] to pull off. It's especially tough when drawing women (blokes are somehow more forgiving). You should be cuffed. :)
Or chuffed. Definitely one or the other. :D

Ooww

Phew!
For clarity's sake I shall tell you I used the sainted Vampirella pic as reference for Anderson.(the one where she stands in a power stance holding aloft a bat?) Changing her arms to where I imagined they'd be for a psychic battle.
So, riffing off an already accomplished pose is well worth it for your finished piece.

That's fair enough. For what it's worth I used a Robocop photo as reference for the pic below. I couldn't get the gun hand working.

Jonathan Alpaca is not a character I draw very often. The helmet is super unforgiving (possibly more so that Dredd's).
Ooh that's very good. I like the almost geometric sculpting of muscle work. And it's far from shameful to use reference for things your mind absolutely refuses to untangle. Yep, shades and tones are inspiring Nightbook. Lovely bit of art.
