Iv'e never read it but I'm equally intrigued. I'm a fan of jerome opena and tony moores art so its definitley worth a punt if its availiable of a couple of quid.

looks great!

that plugin looks really useful.

[switchblade gunsmith]

hey guys

its pretty much what it says on the tin.

I've been circulating aropund the small press and indie scene for the past year now and i've have to be the sole artist on many a project, this has been fine with short stories and the like but i'd like to have a collaborator of sorts to work with on certain projects which i am working on which is too much for one guy.

I've listed the work i require help on.

switchblade gunsmith:
an ongoing action western, set in arizona 1880 about a vigilante gunslinger caught in a cannibal cult that stinks from local government right up to washington.
This is currently undergoing a revamp and getting a colourist is vital on this. chances of publication is good but the writer is the one to talk to there.

the images below are ones used to shift to publishers many of whom expressed interest.



2000ad and Marvel submission pages

I'd like to a Dredd submission for months now and the same goes for uncanny Xforce. my sci-fi iis considerably darker then my western work and i have no qualms in you using the work for you portfolio.

they are the main two things i need help on.I'd like to think if these go well they can be  the start of a good working relationship.

If you are interested give us a pm or an email.and we'll take it from there.

links/portfolio is a must please! although i can email you a page.

if you'd like to see more work, my links as ever are on the footer bit and it all colouring was my own.I've found that my art suits most kinds of colouring so that may be a bonus.

this was released today, based on a comic book which i've never heard of.

THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES. Enjoyed it despite a too-contrived and frankly unnecessary third act.

the third act was a weird one

but i was pleasantly surprised with bradley cooper whose becoming less sleaze-ball-like with every role.

ransons a god compared to some stuff i see.

needed to break into a tenner today and pondered getting the meg, i liked the abnett & davies's work on downlode tales last month and the idea of getting a whole book of it was enticing as was fay daltons art which improved upon clint langleys stuff by a country mile.Didn't get the meg.

bought the prog a couple of days prior, Holdens stuff was great, flints work was good, the rest was so-so

really not loving current 2000ad stuff as i thought i would when i first got into it a couple of years ago (because of DREDD) I ahve to throughly research old storylines and find them on ebay/amazon just to get a story i like from creative teams i like.find find gems at boot sales like this.


the only thing that makes me enjoy 2000ad is is forum community which is strange as i couldn't give a damn about some marvel forum yet I adore the comics.

and I think there is a reason that some otherworldy force stops me from putting my art submission in the post.

thats my rant

final word:

megazine=meh 2000ad in general, get with the times

If Strontium Dog was an Anime series.




I've been around for months yet this is my first ever entry.

So yeah if you saw my designs on the 'does my art look big in this.' thread then it would make more sense, but the designs quickly went to a manga/anime type of style so i thought i'd channel that, battle of the planets etc..

was a real hoot.

breaking into some new promarkers

bit of a throwback to yesteryear but was at a carboot today and a guy had crates of marvel comics mostly uk reprints etc. until i dug a bit and found some copies of Jims Lee run on X-men.

heres the crowning glory!

That is really superb work, Mike. Love the green and yellow colour contrast; very eye catching - like the Brazil teams football kit! 

The look of Johnny Alpha is very stream line, close to what he'd probably look like in a film adaption. Great stuff!

cheers

its not like i'm looking for work in the next 2000ad film....or am I?

I wouldn't mind a Dredd/Punisher crossover-or maybe even a team-up!

dredd in thunderbolts (punisher, deadpool, elektra, venom, redhulk)

state sanctioned nutters = his kind of crowd?

That's some stunning X-F and SD art there MK! Absolutely blinding!

cheers hawkmonger!

Michael – great X-force. Looks like a screen print.

cheers supersurfer

i usually tinker with gradient maps to give it even more of a screen print effect

some ideas knocking for the Strontium dog art comp actually turned into something quite nice...and manga.

great work neil and jon

heres 'i love X-force'.
