YE GADS!

My new project is a BLAST to work on!! More soon...

Trooping Onwards!

Just got my copies of Starship Troopers #9 and it looks fantastic - niiiice print job! My colours came out exactly as I wanted them to. My Stateside buddy Scott James' pages look great as well. This project was no easy ride (just ask anyone who worked on it!!!) but holding the end result in your hands gives you a real sense of achievement - very nice to have your first published comic work.

And on that bombshell, here's a sneak peek at another panel from issue #10:

Starship Troopers #9

So Starship Troopers #9 "Triple Threat" is now out, in all good comic shops. I haven't seen it as I haven't been sent any copies yet... but Scott James picked one up at his local in the US and says it looks great. Here are a couple of my pages, with my colours (I won't be colouring my pages for #10 - I have a newfound respect for people who colour their own work and hit their deadlines - it takes FOREVER). Cover is by Scott.

Anyway, rush out and buy it - enjoy!

War Wound

You don't even want to know what this poor guy is looking down at...

More Troopers

Haven't updated my blog in a while - still wading through the second installment of Starship Troopers, although this time it's been more of a breeze as I'm not colouring my pages as well. I seem to have much more of a rhythm going when I'm working in black & white, not to mention it being a hell of a lot faster!

When this is done, I'll be continuing work on Where Evils Dare, as well as a 4-pager for Future Quake, then more samples for 2000AD.

Nazi Hobos

This was a character sketch for Where Evils Dare - I misunderstood what Tony was after for these characters and had to redesign - but it's still a pic I quite like :-)

More Evil!

The above is another panel from Where Evils Dare, written by Tony Lee. I won't show too much more right now as we don't want to ruin the awesome surprises to come!

I have finally been sent my script for the second part of Starship Troopers: Triple Threat and I've started on the rough layouts today. Eight pages need to be done by the end of next month, but it looks like I'll have a colourist this time round (yay!)

Evil...

Long time no post!

Well, I've finished my first episode of Troopers and I've started work on another project that I'm pretty excited about, written by Tony Lee. Look above for a little sneak preview - more soon.

In other news, my damn hand problem reared it's very ugly head again last week and I had to cancel all my guitar teaching and stay away from the drawing-board and the mouse for several days. Back at work now, but from now on I will listen to my body when it tells me I'm slowly injuring myself... not to mention the money I lose when I can't work!

HATE

Sometimes you just hate drawing. Everything you do comes out shit, no matter what you do. Yesterday was one of those days. Thankfully, today is going a lot better - but I'm going back and redrawing a couple of panels that are so bad I'd cry for a month if they were published.

You talkin' to me?

Work continues on Starship Troopers - I should have my first episode finished by next week :-) My comic schedule has been knocked back the past 2 weeks by all the paid work I've had recently - a comic strip for Manitowoc, more cartoons for Global Integration and more stuff for Easy Jet, all in colour. It's all paid work though, so I'm all over it, as they say... even though my drawing hand feels like it's about to fall off.
