HI!

Here is a panel from the new Candleman, got to admit, ots probably one of my favourites so far, I just love this guy, he's a complete background character, but he just looks soo funny, it turned out great, its funny, its one of the parts of the comic I really had no idea what to do with, I started doodling it last night and it just kicks ass, cant help looking at this page and grinning.
Hopefully the readers will too.
Laterz peeps

toying around with what to do for the colour in Candleman, as a test I did this work up of a sketch of Emma frost I did a while back, kinda looks pretty sweet.
Hope you all am like it :)

LOOK AT THE SIZE...

Of that sword, here is a pencil drawing i did the other day when i was bored. I decided it rocked so I coloured it up, hope u am likes :)

CRUISADE FOR THE LOST CRYSTAL SKULZ OF DOOM

The new Indi film's on its way like a big fat rolling bolder tumbling toward us and the hype threatens to crush us all.
Despite the fact that I kind of live in terror of Indi 4, what with the whole star wars shambles, yeh, I remember thinking, its star wars, how can u screw it up... and we all know how that turned out, and this has lucas involved too, so, it could go either way.
That said, i couldn't help myself, I started doodling Dr Jones and it just went from there... wonder if he drinks rolling rock?
sorry.
Laterz BUY!

I'm a ninja... you can't see me

As I have started work on my sword wielding monkey project, I thought I'd go mental on ninjas and stuff for a bit, you know, get in the zone.
So here is a snow ninja, unlike common ninja, the snow ninja is clad predominantly in white, unlike its black or dark blue clad counterpart.
The snow ninja is often found at high altitudes or in tundra reagons, they are recognised by their pentient for hunting monkeys with swords!

PRIEST in duh HOOD!

Aw, goodol priest... I'm affraid though, he will be missing form the next saga of Candlemanitude, ubless i find a need for him.
The script was written before he was created and there isnt really a need for him in the dynamic, aside from the fact that he RULES and people seem to like him. :(
Anyway, i did this little sketch of him, hope u like :) wow, way too many smileys.
Laters, remember, clunk click every trip, look both ways when crossing the street and never eat yellow snow. LATERZ

flaming mummies and other tripe

Here am some workings out for my STAYING IN THE LIGHT!
There is an extensive chunk o dialogue in it as its mainly word gags and such, one scene in particular relies on a big character interaction scene were the bad guy starts to show his interest in the mcguffin and sew seeds as to whats coming, and Candleman annoys him a bit.

This is me figuring out what certain scenes later on are gonna look like. Non of this stuff was really tackled much as in the origonal script it was intended to be a low budget film and there for we tried to avoid complex effects, but as all i gots to do here is draw it i can go to town, mummies with fire for hair that kinda thing

moving forward

I've really started to push the boat out with the pencils for the next Candleman comic, here is a sneaky peek!
I'm setting myself the task of 2 pages a night, and so far have managed to stick to it.
Hope you like it

CANDLMAN-STAYING IN THE LIGHT copyright Chris Phillips 2008
And the ALIEN thing moves forward slowly... here is a drop ship i built, low polly, mainly cos i want to run it through a paper craft programme to make it into real word parts and use it to construct a prop. Building it from scratch was for too much of a head fuc :)

CUHMON

' HAPPY EASTER YOU FUX!'

Thats not directed at you guys particularly, its just a silly line we came up with for the end of the aliens project when they nuke the place from orbit... its the only way to be sure!

This is for a poster I'm doing for my buddies who helped make the silly filumness

STAYING IN THE LIGHT

And I'm trying too!
Having been hussled back into the land of candleman by my other half, I'm rediscovering its fantabulouse glory... here is a lickle pic i did for the cover, maybe, its a montage style image anyway, i'll have to find five minutes to do a colour one :)

2008-03-26

Here are some inks i have been doing for a DVD box, its to go with this http://cripspink.blogspot.com/2007/09/blog-post.html, that I am trying to finish, if my computer will let me

And in that veign, here is a little doodle of Hicks :) I did, YAY HICKS



2008-03-25

the next thing begins

some prelim sketches for the next CANDLEMAN comic.
Based on a script that Geoff and I wrote years ago, and to be honest, was one of the best ones we ever put down on paper, mainly because it was simple, and had some pretty funny shit in it too, this comic should rock

This page to the left has some character notes on, but centrally I have worked out my openning shot, I may go for a two page spread on this one, with a forward on the left page, setting the scene



this is mainly a page of character doodles, a rough pass at what the main protags are gonna look like, and refreshing my manky brain on how to draw Claude and Willi, they've been absent for a while love um

FEED YER ART

Yes, I know its silly, and yes I know it should be planet of the apes, but this id how it hapenned in Candleworld.
And this is a flyer I did for a friends movie evenning, in which, none of the featured movies will probably be shown, but i thought it summed it up well.

2008-03-14

FOR GOD SAKE...

CAN SOMEONE LEAVE A FRICKIN COMMENT PLEASE, am i the only person looking at my art?, hell i dont even care if its a negative one, can soneone please say something...
Aaaany way, rant over... I didn't this little doodle as a responce to a theme set by Mr Jackson, erm, think it was adventure and archaelogy










here are some girls, starit to ink drawings, Willi Prize on the left and Emma Frost from the xmen on the right.




And this is a lickle sneaky peek at a flyer I'm doing for a film evenning.

girls and monsters


Me and Phill Jackson have been doing a bit of a draw off last few days, I chose the theme of the UNDEAD and this was my offering to the art gods :)

Dunno quite what its about, its probably a subconscious stab at the fact that hot girls always seem to date dickheads, summed up by this hotty still hanging with her chav boyfriend even though he's dead and more...

And here am a sword babe with swords, tad annoyed that the cuts around the swords and arms into the background are a bit rubish :( still though, quite pleased with it :)

2008-03-12

MUMUMUMONSTER MASH!

Here are some more critters and doodles, I havnt had much time to do any finished stuff what with work and life and such, but there will be some, inks and colours and shizzle heading u way soon.
now, thats my guilt delt with, here's an aliens mouth, a scribble from a story board i was messing with :)



And a werewolf, one of my favourite horror animals, their bad ass!
And here is a sexy lady, incase you felt a little cheated, its Wilhelmina, I'm trying to work up a story I wrote AGES ago and frankly, a great one for Candleman, this is a sketch of Willi in her sexy night gown, its based on (as is the whole story) those fab 60's and 70's Hammer horror films where the girls run about in nighties the whole time, BRILL, as you can see though, she doesn't look like she's in the mood for messin, good o'l WIlli.

Angry chicks

Here are some doowidles from tuther day...
This is a little corner of the page sketch that i just thought looked cool, she ended up with a great face and a brillant expression, she's really not happy about summit.

And this is a sketch of a character for a friends comic.
He's doing a whole comic in 3d (computers) and I'm designing the characters for him a bit at a time.
This is some kind of deep space police woman with dubiouse greys in her personal morality, theres a note on some kinda crazy illegal weapon too.

2008-03-10

Not much to say really, just here are some more aliens, i just enjoyed drawing these guys with their hugely expressive jaws, hope u like um too :)


2008-03-06

big fish n boowbiz




















Ok, here you go, here's a comic i did ages ago, i desaturated it, cos the colouring was experimental and i decided i didnt like it any more. The story's ok though, for a little 4 pager introducing the AHL, My bud Geoff did the 'NIPPLES' label at the end, to get round some posting problems we had, but i think, it makes it way funnier :)
