a page a day is a good rate to aim for - in the american or british market. i agree with adrian, that 2000AD pages are far more 'dense' than their american counterparts, but there are benefits to both. i like the space that a 22 page format can bring, i find it can help my work to breath a little more if that makes sense.

recently, due to deadline pressures, i've had to aim for twpo pages a day, pencilled and inked, but i've also managed three on a few days. the interesting thing i find is that the stuff that's produced quicker (GREEN ARROW YEAR ONE) doesn't really look any worse than the stuff that's taken me much longer (the vertigo mini series FAKER)... possibly the opposite in some cases. so i think it all depends on the individual artists own personal pace. dave bishop told me long ago that everyone has their own natural pace, and the sooner you find it the better off you'll be.

here's some two/three page a day pages from GA YEAR ONE -

'...and as the mighty jock was kind enough to post on this humble fanboy's thread i have to mention his dredd with lawbook and the lenny zero cover where joe had him! speaking of which any news on len?'

cheers mogzilla. the only LENNY ZERO news is that the stories will be part of the MEGA CITY NOIR REPRINT COLLECTION, out early next year i think, which will have a new cover by myself.
i have the concept but no art to show yet, but expect another sprawling cityscape to be part of it... one of my favourite things to draw.

i'm not in love with the dinosaur, but slaine is just awesome. i totally agree pj - but also the form of his arm and hand holding the axe... just perfect.

that's not a great scan, but the bright colours on his hero harness and the blue on his knife against the muted bg work beautifully too.

mental way of showing body anatomy mind you.

he drew it on tracing paper for th efirst few pages as he had lost his nerve a little and didn't want to risk losing his pencils... he liked what he saw and kept it as that 'woodcut' style.
