Nearly there!

Well, it's been a while between posts about the studio. And a lot has happened in between - as you will no doubt notice.

Today A mate and I put up the facia boards and the gutter. Fuck, that's been weighing on me a long time! They went up rather quickly with only on little problem at the end - I attached the gutter hangers on upside down... easily fixed though.

My side of the studio is almost completely painted - just another coat on the ceiling. Skirting and architraves still need doing. A few panes in the front window and then it's done...well, nearly. There's still the other side...

Kensuke pinup/cover B&W

A mixture of masks and helmets to create something unique... I hope. Just needs the ink wash and it's done.

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!
