Hey baby

Friday, January 29th, 2010

A couple of my friends had a baby last year, and I did this family portrait as a wee present.

Awww?  Awwwwwwww.

LooooOOOOOooo… si

A new Lusi Sulfura pinup I did over the weekend.  This started as a doodle and but I decided to finish it off, mainly to try out my sexy new Wacom tablet, which is the best thing since… well… um… look, it’s just pretty sweet.

Lusi’s tshirt here is Kevin Dart’s fictional 60’s cinema superspy Yuki 7.  Check out his brilliant fake swingin’-60’s-spy posters; click here for a personal favourite…

Top Shelf action!

Well, OK, it’s middle shelf action.

Finally spotted a copy of Wasted in a newsagents, featuring my Lusi Sulfura cover.  Being a nerd, I took a photo.

2 mags away from the Newsweek and the Economist.  Hmmmm.

New Lusi strip

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I was given the Jack Kirby book for Christmas.  All that volcanically intense , pop-violence artwork really made me miss drawing big, dumb fight scenes.  So I drew one!

I tried to draw, ink & colour this as quickly as possible to keep some kind of fun momentum in the images.  It’s also the first comic I’ve inked with the brush pen - I’m obviously still struggling to loosen up my death-grip on precision inking but it did make things about ten times faster.  There’s definitely a lot more action and flow to the characters as well.

So buckle up, turn off your brain and enjoy.

More Lusi Sulfura here.

A quick look at three stages of creating a Lusi Sulfura page - inks, B&W Photoshop composition and colouring.

Hopefully have this new comic done by next week.
