Moving the furniture

Sunday, October 16th, 2011

I’ve been doing a little bit of housekeeping on my site, and have now placed the links to my RedBubble store front and centre on the home page, along with samples of the artwork I currently have for sale. I’ve also added my FutureQuake Cover to the Comics section of my portfolio. I can’t believe [...]

Review of FutureQuake #17

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Following the birth of my beautiful daughter at the end of March, I rather forgot to pay attention to any coverage of the launch of FutureQuake #17, so I had completely overlooked this rather nice review by Chris Denton. In it, he has some very nice things to say about my artwork (which is always [...]

Cover Up

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

FutureQuake Issue 17 Issue 17 of FutureQuake is on sale now! Go and buy a copy now (£3.50 + £1.00 P+P), or there will be… trouble.

The Future is Nearly Here

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

The very nice folks at FutureQuake Press have posted a teaser image of my forthcoming comic strip. It’s the lead strip in issue 17 of the Multiple Eagle Award nominated flagship FutureQuake comic. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy when it comes out later this month.

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 [...]

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 [...]
