Recent Sketches

Just got back from Thought Bubble 2011 which was absolutely lovely. I'll do a proper update about it in the next few days but for now here are some of the digital sketches I took with me!

Imaginary Gumbo - Charlie Hodges

A new image of the star of the comic we're developing. Every time I think I've tied down Charlie's design I end up tweaking her more, but I think this one is my favourite so far.



And a colour version of her home!

Gumbo and TMNT Pages

Been working on some more ideas for the world of Imaginary Gumbo:



And of course some more TMNT pages!





Dumpy Little Robot will also be at the Birmingham comic con later this month, so please come and say hi!

MCM Expo Tomorrow

It's the MCM Expo here in Manchester tomorrow and Dave and I will be there as Dumpy Little Robot. I'll be doing sketch commissions again a bit like these digital examples:





...and Dave will have The Demon Tomato on sale. We'll be doing a special pack of all three issues so don't miss out!

And while I'm here I have some more TMNT pages for you. It has the coolest drawing of a footsoldier ever!

Old School Gumbo

After flat colouring this image Dave and I decided to see what it would look like with a half-tone effect. I'll finish a fully shaded version too, but I enjoy this version so much! I used to sit with Fleetway TMNT comics all day, re-reading them over and over or copying the drawings. And the reprints of the Archie TMNT strips looked just like this.

A Truly Outrageous Update

Between too much caffeine, staring at Skottie Young artwork, having a smidge of spare time and a desire to muck about with Manga Studio more, I did some things.



I preferred the Misfits myself. Their songs were better. (part of my slightly failed girly week)


Onto some Gumbo stuff, here is Charlie showing off her wicked treehouse.



A close-up on Charlie, I like this one!



And Gumbo. Oo er.



And now back to work! TMNT ahoy!

Rapunzel

Still attempting the quick morning daily sketches but they've all been a bit pants so far. I'm happier with this one though! Rapunzel and Pasqal. Tangled is a fabulous animated film, don't let those trailers fool you!
