Tank

A panel from a 2 pager I just did for blog about activism.

More distractions

I've got shitloads of work to do and so what am I doing? Drawing stuff for fun.

I was working on Kensuke today and I did ink wash 3 pages but I was inspired to do this little number after having bought American Vampire 3 yesterday.

Prior to this I did this fellow who is heavily (very heavily) inspired by Carl Critchlow's style and a character he did for 2000AD. Look up his site and you'll see what I mean. But this is how one learns. At least, that's what I'm told. 

This is also a rare forray into colour - computer colour - which hasn't gone too badly.

Kensuke part 2 details

Some details from Kensuke. They still need the gouache washes but I'm hoping that will go quickly - I'm already 2 weeks over deadline.

All done with my trustly medium Pentel Aquash brush pen with some crappy ink that rendered my pen not so trusty and Pebeo ink that got it back on track.

There's been quite a lot oon this past month and a half. A lot of progress on the studio but then garlic planting and Easter in the middle of all that has meant comic work has progressed slowly. It doesn't look like picking up either but I keep chipping away!

Procrastination

Though I'm having a ball with Kensuke I've felt the need to, every now and then, do something spontainious. And rather than plumbing the depths of my imagination I revert tomore easily thing already well known.

First pages Kensuke part 2

Still needs the ink wash but you get the idea.... It's taken me a while to get onto this but finally we're go!

Moebius is dead! Long live Moebius!

The beast Ironman ever!

Carpentry done

I'll be ordering the roofing iron tomorrow. Woo hoo! Still a long way from the end but the building inspector came and passed the frame work so I have only the final inspection left and all that really entails is making sure the tank is conected to the gutter. Easy!

These photos were taken a week or so ago before the weather got bad again. The weather isn't set to improve but I might aswell have the iron waiting for the next good day.

The stuff on the front is bracing ply, it holds the frame rigid and acts like the diagonal steel bracing you can see on the right hand side of the image above. The intermediate board and rafters are called hyjoists. They're a manufactured timber beam made from ply. Very strong, very light and very straight! I went over size with them so I could fit R6 insulation in the ceiling.
