Some stuff

Just a few of the random bits and bobs I've been scribbling lately...

Happy New Year... Two weeks later...

So here we are, the first blog post of 2011. The last couple of months have been pretty hectic, between moving flat, Christmas and New Year holidays and trying to sort out internet connection and whatnot; but hopefully I'll be able to update a little more consistently.

The resolutions for this year are many and varied, but the main one that I really want to stick to is to become a lot more organised when it comes to how I spend my time outside of work, specifically on the personal projects I want to get off the ground this year... Should be interesting to say the least. Watch this space!

So yeah, with that in mind, here's some of the random sketches I've been doing lately. Some of these I'm hoping to take to a slightly more finished stage...

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...
