SAGAS

Here am some scribbles... what’s my motivation?..
Having been going back through DARKNESS FALLS lately, I have fallen in love with the idea of series again, lots of mini issues that will allow manageable work load and affordable printing yada yada, any way there was allot of contributing factors, any way, thing is Debbie (my FiancĂ©) and I have stormed out some ideas for short stories and a huge amount of villains for CM's universe over the last few weeks, and they will lend themselves beautifully to micro sagas, the first of which will be CANDLEMAN - PAST LIGHT, which brings me long windedly round to today’s pick, which is a prelim sketch page for the cover of issue#1

KABOOM

Candleman dove dramatically off the slick rooftop and toward the glassy streets bellow, powered by his steely resolve and a few bottles of cheap piss masquerading as beer.As the lightening blazed and filled the sky with electrical brilliance, he realised it was a long way down and he didn’t really have anything to break his fall, ‘sept maybe the street...

SWIFT

New character on the roster for future Candleman episodes, along with a new town just down the road from Hope city, might be called Gravezend or summin like that :)

And here's a blast from the past, I couldnt resist a redux of an old school looking Priest and his darkness falls graveyard

New Graphics

Not putting Blogger down, but blinkin' heck, it's awkward. I cannot just simply upload an image to use on the website design, I have to include it in a post so I can access it locally.
I expected there to be a somewhat unique set of problems involved with the new site enhancements, and I am doing my best to make it work as intended. I could just use a remote image hosting service, but I don't want all the content distributed here and there, that's something approaching a nightmare for me.
And on top of all that, I can't actually refer to the image from Blogger, I have to get the link from Google Picasa Web Albums! Talk about roundabout.

whats happening?

Hello there, I thought a spoonful of information might be useful.
Here is a sneaky peak at RED MONKEY AND THE BLADES OF TIME, my short for the up coming SMART BOMB collection.

You may of noticed a post by the mighty GO3 further down the page, he was there at the creation of Candleman and we have ever since bounced ideas off one another in a kind of forging drinking kinda comedic way, up until rescently he has been in charge of running the Candlemania site, whic as of a few days ago, is now NO MORE, it was difficult to maintain compaired to the Blog, so, the plan is to combine the two and have a much more action filled blog space RIGHT HERE, so dont worry, if anyones looking for www.candlemania.co.uk, its not dead, its just being reanimated :)

READY FOR ACTION

As brumicon creeps rapidly toward us, here is the prelim for the Candleman biable framed poster this year , even though he's the main character, he's the hardest one to get an image for, maybe i'm too critical or summit

Priest and other shtuffs

Here am some skribbles from my sketch book, featuring Priest without his mask oooh

Aha!

Greetings, readers. This is Geoff. My role here is to turn this blog into a working www.candlemania.co.uk while enhancing it in form and function (as much as is possible with Blogger), and contributing my own angle on this Candleman nonsense that I helped to give birth to all those years ago. Hopefully some new flash content can be added here, as well as some solid article pages and other spanglyness.

And no, that's not burnt into my palm, it's a prototype for a real-world pair of Mayan jade earrings that Willi wears in "Staying in the Light". I hope to make a couple of pairs of these as promotional items for when the comic finally comes around (don't hold your breath, folks, it'll be a while yet.)
The plan is to cast them in polyester resin with a opaque pale green colouring agent and fit jewellery fastenings into the tops. They will then be presented in an attractive box of some sort, preferably not brown cardboard. They'll be cool and minty.

INKY BLACKNESS!

Here is a peek at the 'staying in the light inks' its getting there, half the trouble is finding a look that works

PRANG!

I have been lacks in my posts, mainly as I am working on staying in the light and other stuff for the comic con.
So, just for fun I doodled this, i am always fascinated by silly cross over comics and such like, superman vs aliens verses terminator vs robocop vs yada yada, so i drew BUFFY VS ALIENS, cant go wrong with boobs and monsters as the hammer films proved, if only hammer had made aliens...
Ok, so, this is an edit, i just went mental doing some scribbles, some of them were quite nice so I posted um

There are some pics for brumicon in here and some vampire shit, I reall REALLY wanna do a CANDLEMAN vampire story, as kind of an accompanyment to darkness falls, but never seem to get one that works.
