Alien and Iron Man.

 I miss placed the camera on the weekend,

so I had to scan the artwork.

Lots of work in these two, but the challenge was interesting.

Lighting, focus, values all work together in a balance to make

a picture work. I am working from photographs and the

real puzzle is making it all work in ink lines.

Less than a month to the convention...still lots

to do, but I think I have enough images for the show.

Thanks for visiting.

Princess Leia and Jabba the Hutt

This is the third take on Leia in the last month.

Really interesting textures on Jabba's body

and pushes the Princess to the foreground.

Firefly in Ink.

 On a Sunday afternoon snowstorm...drawing some more.

This time FIREFLY. Started with a low contrast photo.

 Inking directly on top. No pencils. Interpreting the photo

in line work with brush and pen.

Laid out all the broad strokes in black, detail work follows.

Fine lines to finish.

This is a new approach for me, and something to keep practising.

It keeps me busy drawing and learning.

Day 104. CCEE 2010!

 This is my contribution for the CCEE 2010 Art Book. I have yet to see a copy. I'll be buying one today.

Please come by table C06, I will be happy to sign almost anything. Have a a good show! GarSeeYa!

 (I learned so much creating this image, and more after.)

 This is not how it will appear in the book. This is the banner I had printed

for the show. GarSeeYa!

Day 96.

The Pigs: version 2. I got rid of the heavy armour and put them in

more relaxed costumes. They're like Swine Hit Pigs, just not very good.

Page four is a something that reaffirms my passion for drawing and comics.

It has been much too long since I've done a page like this, it inspires me to

keep doing more, and improve the craft. Thanks for visiting. GarSeeYa

Day 79.

 More robot designs.  I'm trying to find elements that can tie in all the mechanical creatures.

The steampunk frog, looks to be the way to go. Still having fun. Keep drawing. GarSeeYa!

Day 72 Part 2.

Character development, props and environments. This is always the fun part of creating imaginary worlds. I want to be able to do this full time, but I'll keep building it picture by picture, page by page until it is done.

I've been offered three jobs this week. One involves design, but none would have me drawing.

What would I have to do the comic worlds attention? I'll do the work here, see if anybody comes? Gotta keep pushing forward. GarSeeYa!

Day 72.

Coloured this one on painter, after a failed attempt on vector. It came out a lot brighter and
pleasing result. Can I do a whole GN in this style? Exploring the possibilities...I have to start with the story. Thanks for stopping by. GarSeeYa!

Day 71.

I'm doing character designs and story exploration.Things will take a little time to develop, but I'll keep a record of it's process here. I won't reveal everything, but I'll give a little peek once in a while. I 'd like to work full time on this, but I have bills to pay, like most people. I'll keep working on it.

Day 70.

Today was a good day for drawing.

I got to choose the theme: ROBOT IN DISGUISE.We saw so many robots on TV. Bugs Bunny, Herculoids, The Jetsons, Gilligan's Island, Six Million Dollar Man, Transformers, Thundercats , and the list goes on and on. We saw them in movies like Star Wars and Wall E. Comic books, novels, picture books and magazines.

The list goes on and on and the fascination continues.
Artificial intelligence, clothed in steel ,plastic and advanced technology.

They make our cars and home appliances, vacuum our floors, and play with us and serve us.What would happen if they chose not to serve? That is if they could think and choose?

I'm thinking of stories that may come, using these characters. It is always fun to explore and tell your own stories. This was a good exercise for me, as it got a little story telling involved.

It was also another reminder of how natural working with a lead pencil can be. Getting the idea on paper instead of a screen is more concrete and immediate, and gives me personal satisfaction.

Thanks for stopping by.

Day 22.

Playing with mixed genres.
