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!

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!
