The return! Maybe not for long...

Ok, so the internet's back up and running in the flat... BUT! I'm gonna be moving at the end of the week, which will inevitably bring the oh-so familiar cluster of little joy bombs associated with the process, not the least of which being a temporary loss of internet... Still, never mind, I'm going to try and make a couple of posts before then, starting with this one. These are just a couple of pieces I've worked on, there's a version of the Thor and Captain Britain drawing up on Comics Alliance. The more I look at it the more unhappy I am with the colours I did on it, so I've just posted the greyscale version for now.

Poor show...

So yeah, the internet in my flat's completely self-destructed. Hopefully it won't be too long before it's back up and running, after which point there should be some new stuff to post. Watch this space! In the mean time, continue to enjoy the Halloween theme...

Halloween SCAREblog- Day 31 (Halloween)

So this is it, the final drawing, 'Halloween'. I thought it made sense, despite the fact that 'Halloween' can't really be called the first slasher movie, it's probably the one film that's influenced the genre the most. Well, despite missing a couple of days, I'm reasonably happy with how the whole SCAREblog thing went. I do feel like I've improved a bit and learned a few things. It's definitely made me resolve to draw more on a daily basis and I've already got a few ideas for what I'm going to do next. In saying that, this has really taken it out of me at times, so I think I'll take a little break for a day or two. Happy Halloween and I'll catch you later!

Halloween SCAREblog- Day 30 (The Descent)

Awesome movie. Such a creepy moment.

Halloween SCAREblog- Day 29 (Ghostbusters)

Decided to try something pretty minimal with this one... I started doing the linework and stuff for this after sketching out the roughs, but it was looking pretty similar to a lot of the other stuff that I'd already done. It occurred to me that it might be cool if I had each of the Ghostbusters represented just by their silhouettes and a few blocked in areas here and there. I think it worked ok for the most part, but it's definitely not perfect...

Halloween SCAREblog- Day 28 (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

First of three posts today (hopefully). Doug Jones as one of the Gentlemen, from the Buffy episode 'Hush'. I actually had another idea for a Buffy-related drawing that I was gonna do, but I knew something like this would be much quicker, which is important since I need to catch up...

This episode won some awards and stuff, and even people who weren't that into the show will know about "that one where everyone loses their voice" and as such it tends to be regarded as being the best Buffy ever got, which I'd say is debatable... As a stand-alone episode, 'Hush' is pretty strong, which definitely works in it's favour, as opposed something like 'Passion', where you need to be more familiar with the characters to get the full impact.

Halloween SCAREblog- Day 27 (Let the Right One In)

Only one more weekend to go, then it's the end of the SCAREblog... Nuts.

Today it's 'Let the Right One In', a really cool movie, as innumerable sources have pointed out at length. The image that really became synonymous with the film is when Eli steps into the apartment uninvited and starts bleeding all over the place. It's a nice take on that aspect of vampire lore, most of the time it's like there's a force-field or something physically preventing the vampire from entering.
