More new designs on my RedBubble store

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

I’ve recently added two new images to my RedBubble store, and they are both available as t-shirts and hoodies, children’s cloths, stickers and cases for the iPhone 4 and 4S. Strawberry blonde is a character I created several years ago for a mobile phone game by bitBull. She was based on my Manga Fairy, which [...]

Finally, something new…

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

I’ve had to move my computer into a new room now that my daughter needs my old space, and I’ve not really had the time to do any drawing since her birth 5 months ago. My new location means that I don’t have space for a drawing board or a scanner either, so I’ve been [...]

Getting it covered

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

I’ve been working fairly intensively on the cover artwork for my FutureQuake story, and it’s getting close to completion now. Just the background to paint, and a few tweaks to make to the character. Here’s a sample of the work in progress (I’ve just slapped in a masthead from a previous edition to help with [...]

Flick Golf riding high

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

It’s been very satisfying watching Flick Golf riding high in the US iTunes App Store. It’s currently at number 8 in the Top Paid chart, after peeking earlier last week at number 3. At that point, it was even beating Cut the Rope, which is quite an achievement. Screenshot of Flick Golf Flick Golf is [...]

Back to the Future

Friday, January 28th, 2011

Or more accurately, back to the FutureQuake. For the last few weeks, I’ve been beavering away on the finished artwork for my strip; all five pages are now inked, and have the flat tone applied to them. I’ve also completed the shading on page one. You can see a sample of the finished result below: [...]

Reaping the reward of prior effort

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Page four of my FutureQuake is now done, and I’ve finally remembered why I spent so much time modelling the heroine’s space ship using Google SketchUp. The ship features quite heavily in this page, and with such a complex design, constructing the last two panels in particular would have been very time consuming. With the [...]

Comic strip: page 3

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

After taking the decision to redesign the principle character, it’s taken me a while to get this page finished, as I’d already drawn it using the original version of Psion. This page also features a revised version of her main protagonist; I thought his design was a bit weak too, so I’ve made him look [...]

To the root of the problem

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

I’ve found myself in something of a malaise whilst creating the pencils for my FutureQuake strip, and have felt distinctly lacklustre about the first two pages. At the end a fantastically unproductive Friday I realised what the problem was; I simply don’t like my original design of Psion (the main character). Specifically, I don’t like [...]

And now, page two…

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Here is page two of my FutureQuake strip. Pencilling them is taking longer than I thought (I had hoped to do a page a day, not a page every two days), but I’m getting faster as I go along, so hopefully I can back on track. It’s a long time since I did any comic [...]

At last, the first page…

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

I’ve finally completed the pencil for the first page of my Furturequake comic book, written by Neil Merrett. Page 1 I’m not sure about the close-up of the heroine’s eyes yet (they look too masculine, I think), but I’ll come back to that panel when I’ve completed the remaining 4 pages.
