no art here argh!

Sorry! no art. My sketch-a-days have fallen by the wayside a bit, not only because of timmy mallet not being cool anymore, but also because I have been working on COMICS. I wanna keep comics a secret until they are pretty much done because of the naracisstic way my brain works; if I post it now, I might think I've finished the entire comic, and that's all wrong! So I'll keep it under wraps until I'm certain the momentum will keep me going. Whtev, it's cool stuff so far; the layouts so far are pretty standard, but hopefully I can develop that as I go. Anyway. Comics! I reckon I've got a good hour left in me yet! :D :D

Sketchy update

YEAH! I've been keeping up with my sketchadays!

Here is todays, inspired by the concept of Wild Zero, featuring GUITAR WOLF! And zombies! While the film is probably nothing like this (I haven't seen it yet! I'm too scared to see it by myself. I think the awesome would be too much for one person to bear alone).. it..should be? Maybe I should do that in future, just read a synopsis of a film I haven't seen and then just draw it.



And now a CUT! Below the cut is the other scribbles I've done before now but after then.



This one was inspired by chamonkee's The Sea competition, which I was too late for.
Go, mini-Drake! Don't let it suck your face!!

Sketches!

I'm trying out that "sketch a day" thing that I kinda seem to always do about this time of year.

I'm trying to work out how this comic should look, it's a lot more black and white than I'm used to so I'm kinda still feeling my way around it. I'm getting closer to what I want ("heavy blacks with some crosshatching but not TOO MUCH" is the style I'm more or less looking for. Like a more scratchy, oppressive Bone I guess!)

But yeah! One of these was done yesterday, the one with the head on the stick was just now. Kinda suffered a bit for a lack of 0.05 laser-accuracy microscope pen; Kit kindly lent me his for when I was doing Sticks' face, but when I got around to the background he wasn't around anymore so I made do with a 0.5 mm. Yeah, PEN GEEK.





Not sure about her cut-off shoulders longsleeve thing here (also in better context here). I can't decide if it looks cool or if it looks contrived and impractical. It's just not NINJA. But with all the sticks and stuff it kinda breaks things up a bit, so I dunno. Wotev :D

Anyway. Comics. I found 8 pages of pencils of a short Rockfall story HIDDEN my laptop, between the keyboard and the screen! Which goes to show when I last picked up my guitar I guess, AGES ago. 'cos I put my guitar thru my laptop. Like ya do. :) So yeah, when I've inked that I'll post it, it's pretty cool. I'm also working on a Sticks / Idyllic story which I'm making up as I go along, which I'm posting up as I do it over at deviantart. I'll whack it up on my website and link to it from here when I'm finished.

Also, I'm going to Leeds thoughtbubble thing! It's only a 500 hour drive! It'll be FUN!!

So yeah. Done!
