Attempts at the sample scripts

[Pete Wells]

Yup, I'm absolutely in love with his work and have rather predictably asked him for a commission. After looking at his beautiful site and wracking my brains again and again, I decided on Dredd vs [spoiler]Fink Angel (and Ratty)[/spoiler] in the sewers of Pete Wells Block.

Fingers crossed, he's gonna do it at the end of the month!

He's my favourite new 2000ad artist to emerge in a good long time.

Can't wait to see that commission.

in the sewers of Pete Wells Block.

That is one hell of a treacherous block to be around...

Oh very nice - I can't wait to see it (not as much as you but still...).

Indeed - I think I can feel a "Favourite Newcomer Artist" award nomination looming in the 2012 Eagles.

His 'Uber Jenny Six' could join the Vampire Vixens!

It's a shame the story will probably never be told....I'd love to read that!

Even though my sample script is not a commission, I feel a little bad that it's taking so long.  ...It is work I can only do at the end of the night (probably no different from anyone posting here). As an artist I've never missed a hard deadline, and my deadlines are not comics, but portraits. They dominate my day. In doing the sample and looking here at all this work I was inspired by the alternate views each artist presented. It got me thinking about multiverses...actually, truth be told - I'd been thinking of them already. But as an artistic 'multiverse'...well, what I've seen here partially inspired me (and various interpretations of characters in comics over the years). I've pointed that out in the forward of the first lay-out of Atwomic.

If any artists who've posted here would like to take part in this experiment, I'll be delighted. 1 panel or a full sequence, sketch, doodle or full on...whatever. It's just about drawing. People are already telling me that they like knowing there is a panel to draw each day, that it 'keeps their hand in' so to speak. Not a bad side-effect for an artist.

There will be guest writers too, not just me. So if you wonder how well you'd do illustrating the words of a writer, again, not a bad thing to undertake.

Now back to work...I hope to post my sample script here soon.

Hello everyone! First time posting here.

I'm going to attempt a submission using a Judge script. My question is does Tharg want photocopies of the artworks' actual size, or would A4 copies be ok?

Here's a link to my portfolio too if anyone wants a gander.

Not trying to nitpick because seriously, there's far more good than bad in your samples! Beautiful style and very creative layouts. I love them! The only thing that niggles me is some of your anatomy's a little loose in places. Fantastic though! Good luck!

[Jboulton]

Thanks blackmocco!
I agree, it's one of the aspects im feverishly trying to resolve. Which pictures do you think had the worst anatomy?

Nice style. Really nice.

Call it a preference thing, but photobucket's interface doesn't say professional to me. A splendid place to host your art, but not the best way to present it.
Some say deviant art is ok - but again not the best way to display your stuff. A dedicated website, is the most professional IMO, but I know some established artists only have blogs. A blog is a good way to show that you're consistently working at improving though... tumblr is good also if you're not into the concept of blogging.

Oh, and I think A4 photcopies should be fine... be prepared that it's a long old slog crowbar-ing work out of the emerald emperor though... he will have suggestions for you on how to improve your work too. A very helpful alien that one :-)

Thanks Kev!

I do have a blog actually, its http://boultonblog.blogspot.com

Do you think this is better?
