Ok, so. New Blogger... well clearly this was worth the hastle. From what ive seen so far, the only differences are a load of bull s**t blood leag b****x pages that make it a little bit harder to actually do anythingm clarly because blogger and google are s**t scared of someone suing them, we live in a sad sad world, were everything is driven by fear and ignorance, people and companies affraid to do anything for what might happen if they do.

Any way, here's a new drawing. I havent turned out alot lately as I've been doing alot of writing.

For no perticular reason its a girl with agun and a chainsaw swearing like a trooper. Oh well, never mind. Got my drawing back on track though, had the niggling suspiscion it was starting to slide again for a bit. :)

LONG TIME

Since my last visit to the land of Blog, sorry, bin busy paying the bills. As a result, its been tough to do stuff that I can show you, my normal works a bit hush hush. But as the special forces guys close in I can upload some bits n bobs for you

Bring it on BUB. Heres a rather grizzly looking Wolverine sketch I did the other night, not happy with his abbs, I'm trying toget a suggestion of his musculiture as aposed to putting every single one on, and its harder than you'de think, trying not to fall into that trap of drawing action man








Here's a work in progress. Sekhmet from ancient Egyptian mythos. She was apparently the god of war, and a woman. Im saying nothing.

Says it all really...

I KNOW, I KNOW

I said daily, and I have excuses for my failure to do jack shit, its called working, or well, ok, I tell a lie, its called moving desks. Ive made a consciouse effort today to ACTUALLY post some stuff, not that its shiny, its just stuff.
Here you go, here's a full colour version of that page from last week, turned out ok I feel, I like the sun in the first panel and the little glints of light on the water in the second panel.













Here's an FBI agent. I don'y know if this has been done or not, but are there any super hero/vigilanties who are law enforcers in there normal life. How about this, she works for the government as an agent by day, but she sees all the injustice and failings of the law, so takes on the guys of THE RED WASP at night. Hmm, only in the city of Hope








Well... that'll do for now. SEE YOU SOON

THURSDAY STUFF

WOOO YEAH its nearly the day of fri. AWESOME.
and here are some piceetures

Leaping into the air with unairing acuracy and daring its Wild Kat, no she cant fly shes just jumping over our lickle heads









A pencil sketch of Jo Dark











Here's a flat of some inks from a far off comic saga with Mr Candle. I put the colour fade in, with a mind to colouring it, but I liked the two tone so much I kept this version








And heres a simple flatish colour of Wild Kat, enjoy, and I'll metophically see you all on the morro

The blog of kings : )

In a world full of madness and thirst for blood and sand, a world were people who can’t write a CV, complain that because they can’t write a coherent sentence, that it’s not fair that they don’t get employed. A planet were a small tribe of monkeys despair at the kidnap of their idiot child, who despite being the dumbest of the monkeys, was loved by them anyway, and scarcely do they know the true horror! of how an all powerful nation kidnapped him and pored him into a suit and called him president, all in the name of 'democracy', I like to think that the special brand of madness that prevails on this site and its distorted cousins http://www.candlemania.co.uk/ could somehow be a nourishing substitute to sanity... or not, any way, here are some pictures I done drewed



Of Wolverine, the worlds flavorite X MAN, did um on the holiday, he's looking nice and supremely evil on the bottom of the page, I like him.










and some more...








And a rough colour sketch of Jo Dark from Perfect Dark, my own lickle interpretation, the skull on her wet suit was my office buddies ide, and it looks kinda cool I think :)










And heres a nice full colour pic from yesterday, I promissed I would fling one your way, so here, CATCH!

Its of a new hero for the Candlman universe, by the name of WILD-KAT, all shal be explained in due time, I hope, probably a few years, thats right we're in for the long hall, have a goodun, im off to do some worklings :)

WOOO YAY 2000 and 7 hot monkeys, who'd of

Thunked it, when we were in school, pickin’ our noses and slappin’ upon the girls asses (I didn’t but Compton's most wanted apparently did), the future seemed soo far off and we wondered if we really would live to see the year 2000, well, I think we did, and maybe this year we'll get the rocket packs and Jetson style floating homes with little flying bubble car in the garage. But until that glorious day arrives, here are some pictures...



Check it out, the first picture I made with my pencil in the 7th year of the twenty first centuary, Mr Lucifer, looking a bit different from how he does in the comic, that happens with my stuff, as i move along they kind of evolve, if and when he makes further appearences, I spect he'll change over and over :)





Here are some doodles from the holidays, just trying out faces and expressions, like making the mouths big, its funny








Not much, if any finished work to put up here for you guys, was mainly too busy eating drinking and being merry with my folks, but there are a few dynamic and emotive pencils to be seen, like this pick of the Lethal Spider and Wilhelmina.









Here's some different stuff. Having seen some inkers at work and doing some reading I stumbled accros the obviouse use of tipex pens, so I dug one out of its draw and had a mess with some silouets







And here's another one. Atmosphere's the name of the game, hope you like um, ill try and get some coloured stuff up in the next day or two, keep your mice hovering over this site and its brothers and sisters, dont forget the ongoing saga of INFERNO, on www.candlemania.co.uk

ONLY 3 DAYS TO GO...

Till Inferno hits your pc screan and scorches it to sh*t with its awesome brilliance, but till then i will tantalise you with more up and coming charcters...

Raven Black, otherwise known as MAGPIE, new nemisis soon to arrise, I shall tell thee no more, for now











And here's our first piece of fan art. WOOO.
Produced by Will Overton, concept artist and professional illustrator, pretty cool hu!

As you may of gathered from the massive chunk of glowy graffic crap above our heads, the time for the ne Candleman season of fun and frolics is upon us, a shiny Christmas present for us all.

But for now, here's some dripping wet guy for you, Namor the Submariner, Ive been reading the Wolverine issues of Civil War and he pos up in that so i thought ide do a version of him, first time ive tried water and got it looking ok too. Pretty pleased with this one.

COMIC FOR CHRISTMAS

Hope you all have a good holiday

Anti-Herotastic

Im in the process of finishing and shining up the three page candleman aceness that will be SNOW WARS, and should be here by the end of the day. :)
But in the mean time, and I mean MEAN, here are a few scribbles from the dark side of good.

Whats hot and cool all at once? Answer, hells only outcast son, Hellboy, did this the other morning as I was playing with the idea of a Batman Hellboy cross over featuring Manbat.











And that class act from Pitch Black, Riddik, the mass murderer with marble eyes who cant quite decide what side he's on. Enjoy um for the mo, and I'll be back later with COMIC

HAY

You know what would be coowol? a candleman short for Christmas, well watch this space. In the mean time, I feel lazy, here are some pancils I have pushed out in the last few days


'Ya, i heve been wierking out' Ok, a farely hulked up Spidy, but I like him, and that guy with the cool pumpkin jaw on the left of him, who looks like green goblin, but isnt, erm, you know the guy...








Smore from my sketch book, encluding that indearing simbol of American Americaness Captain America









Some pics i did whilst scanning this stuff in yesterday, featuring a pick of me in my current bierdyness








And a pencil of Mr Lucifer, develish harasser of men wearing Candles everywere. :)

SNEAKY PEAK!

Here you go then, as i said, there's a little Christmas pressie on its way to the world, if ever the find this godamn page, in the form of a 3 page festive fun fest from Candleman, here's a finished panel, it shuld be up in time for the weekend, hope you all love it, dont be expecting much of a story now folks, just nice art and sillnes. :) Go WILLI GO

BOBA FETT ! WERE?

At the bottom of the post, just to make you scroll through my tripe hahahahahah...
So INFERNO, its a nice word, conjures up lovely warm images of burning buildings and Steve Mcqueen with a fire axe, but also, it represents soo much more. To the trained eye, that glow on the horizon indicates the greatest comic event in the history of the world, or maybe not, you'll just have to read it and find out, but till that grand day hits us sqarely between the gnads with a clenched fist full of awesomitude, here are some picks to be getting on with...

Yay, HELLFISH, soon to be appearing in Candleman, how? you ask, followed by, who is he? and why? all shall be revealed, do not fret, in the meen time, just bask in the glorry of its much improved colouring (scroll down to see old one YIKES) hmm, I sound pleased now, give it a few months, I'll look back on him and cringe most likelly.








And here to keep him company is the oh so eluminated Candleman, all ready to battle evil on the snow swathed streets of Hope. Bah, couldnt make him as shiny as my spidermans and such as theres nos spandex, mmm :(









Speaking of Spandex, heres a classic WONDER WOMAN, its a Xmas present for a friend of mine, he likes Wonder woman, and who wouldn't, erm me, shes Amazonian, which means real tall and thats just odd...more picks









Look, the Fett, I like starwars, what can i say.

NOW GOOO to the site of Candleman and watch all new live action aceness that is 'CHAIR' go NOW www.candlemania.co.uk

RAIN ROCKETS

Here's an idea about how we can stop drouts in 3rd world nations like parts of Africa. Space launches... no, no hear me out now. Its on the equatore for a start, so this makes it pretty ideal for launching space craft, cos it helps to have the spin of the earth behind your star ship. Now for the good part, the only by product of a rocket launch is RAIN, yeah baby, whenever they launch the shuttle in the US, thirty miles away, it rains. Apparently it wouldnt work, but I live in hope, in the mean time here are some pictures ...
Swing SPIDEEE SWING, did this little spidee dude on the yeaterday just gone, looks kinda cool, I wasnt sure about the bg, then I thought, hang on, the lights are on and its day DOH, so I went and changed it quick, hehehe im dim, hope you likes it.









And here's Robin, YAY, yeah, I know he's gay, think the pick turned out ok though, and he looks a little rugged and less of a but monkey, so thats got to be good, something cool is going on with his arm on the left of the pick, I dont know what but I like it








Right, so I'm off to pitch my idea about rain rockets to the UN, see you on the morro. :-) with Candleman colours ooooh.

Jaffa cakes

Are the smack of the biscuit world, Idare anyone not to eat a whole pack if its there infront of you...
And on that revelation, heres a spiderman i did tother day

Incase your wondering why I keep drawing characters that belong to other stuff then its simple, I like drawing marvel stuff as its a bench mark when practicing, as it exists in comic for already i can guige my drawings against them ans see were i need to improve, then apply those techniques to my own stuff. :)







Oh and here's Ash from Evil dead, no reason other than hes one of the coolest guys alive and the films kick ASS sept the first one thats just plain odd.

Dont worry, ill be gettin up some uber coloured Candleman shizzle soon,
in the mean time, go here for some class stuff that mr G03 has put together http://www.candlemania.co.uk/gallery.html some of its anciant and a little cringe worthy and some of its pretty ace, Geoff has done some sweet ass work :)

VENOM

Hello. I did this yesterday, hope you like him, good ol venom, hes like an old friend, like a tick or some other kind of skin infesting parasite.
I put a bit of a halftone patern thing on it, so i could make believ that one day my stuff might actualy be printed.
Now Q and A, someone had a look at my Spidee yesterday and said that, due to the intensity of the sunlight in the image, surely the shadows would be more intence, and yes, thechnically this is true, but, as one of my mentors is fond of telling me, stuff in the fore ground is darker, so, I perposefully darkened spideys outsretched hand and left the shadows beneath him a fare bit softer, if I darkenned them any more I feel it would of flattened out the image, which is one of my nemisie when colouring. :)

Ok, heres some plugging for you, of other folks stuff for a change.
Do you feel tired of the cookie cutter of chearful hollywood animation farmed out to waige slaves in Korea, being payed by the second (of animation, thats loads by the way) to create mindless shows about how tough it is growing up in a privilaged American town, whilst your pearents are out urning more cash in their million dollar suits, flung against the angst filled drama of fighting aliens at night in a crime infested urban grot den? then fear no more the string of abjectives is over, here,s your pay off, how mint does this look? http://feed.stashmedia.tv/feed/2006/6/2/monster-samurai.html

I tell you bud, hes got radio active blood...

No, not the kgb spy guy, SPIDERMAN, for some crazy reason i went to my online folio, which hasnt been updated in forever, as you know, all the action is HERE, any way, I went to my folio and stumbled over my spiderman from forever back, and here he is


Wow, thats cheap I hear you cry, recycling something from way back when, but bare with me, there is a point, im anglin up for summit here...





Using some techniques past on to me by the art lords I have desovered nestling in a mist shrowded temple on the north face of mount Rare, I did a bit of a spanglified version of SPIDERMAN.
A friend of mine here is really good at critting my stuff and has helped me anilyse some of my own failings, for example, despite the mega perspective in the origonal pick, it still feels flat, something i tend to do in my colouring, however I think ive adressed that in the repaint, hope you all love the shit out of it :)

TODAY

Yes. its the day after yesterday and its most likelly to be the day before tomorrow, but you never know.
In the land of art, things are proceeding nicely. Ive been doing some big scribbles, a daring feet for me, full a 4 draws usually bother me a bit, but, hay, gots to practice. :).
Spent last night working out how my trilogy is going to pan out and mainly how the last episode will run, ive worked them out of order mainly so i can work out how to structure the cnetral stuff, ide share some rough lay outs with you, but the stuff in them would blow the whole plot at this stage and i dont wanna do that.


Heres some stuff from yesterday afternoon, mmm girls










Here's a quick skeych of an up and coming big bad for Candleman 'SPIDER'









Few lickle picks here, including Aquaman, never really a fan, but rescently saw a pick of him by Mike Mignola, and that guy can make anything look cool, so I felt like doing a doodle of him myself









A move away from the comic standars of skinny chicks, here's Claude's lawyer, and trust me, the way the trilogys panning out, he's gonna need one.










A big pencil of Willi, so k, spose, looks a bit too much like Billy Piper though :(











A nice big pencil of Candleman














And a sexi mambo girl mmm, nice marackas
