Random Pics

These are some robots to practice colouring on. As you can see I'm a ninja colourist. You couldn't even tell these were touched with colour, could you?


The Escapist had a contest for a cartoonist. The winner was awarded a contract. The entrance requirements was five strips, an icon logo, and a summary. After doing the first strip, I proposed the other comic ideas to friends and they gave me their opinion. All of my friends agreed I'm a better colourist than a humourist. Which isn't saying much at all. Although, they did break it to me nicely.

The strip was about sh33pl (sheeple) (sheep-people) and miscellaneous characters who would talk about game related news and events in a humorous fashion. Main character was a sheep guy Don and his pomegranate friend Pom. Yes, they are caterpillar-ing to work.

Much like Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) says, find news that's ninety percent funny, then add your own ten percent and you have a good gag.

Yeah, I know. Could be funnier.

Comic Pages

This is a runner for a mexican Cartel that got pinched by a drone. A little convoluted and could be laid out better. The previous post of the green space marine was supposed to be the colouring study of these two pages. Though worked okay on the marine (a little dark) it didn't work out the numerous times I tried with the pages. Just didn't. I am not a natural colourist.

Oh and the yellow bars are meant for text. My brother was the writer, I wanted to show where the ideal places for text are.

Not so quick, quickie

Here's a space marine I was drawing, then my brother out of the blue is like, "Lets draw future war stuff!!!" My older brother is very much a war enthusiast. Like an armchair general he likes to bathe in the realism of simulated experiences. Nolan very much enjoys things like Halo Wars and Submarine Simulators. If it's too extreme or too damn entertaining he'll shy away from it. Claustrophobia can result when he feels that too much spectacular explosions and run and gunning are being forced down his throat.

So, about the picture. The space marine was originally meant to be more blue/metallic themed. Like most space environments. However, I was like, "Hey Nolan, I'm drawing a space marine, I'll just colour him green and stuff." Nolan was like sure, "I'll keep writing while you diddle."

Sisters Exploration

Hey this is just an update for the 'Sisters' Graphic Novel Project. Just some sketches exploring drawing/colouring styles. Will try and get some actual concept art up next. The Four square images are idea exploration for the cover.

Draw Jam Image

Here's a quickie I did one morning from the DrawingBoard.org draw jam thread.
