If this even looks like its sposed to itll be a fother muckin miracle...

WILD KAT
Did some doodles of the infamous Katherine Wield, tiger trainer and acrobat turned crime fighter.

And a little corner page doodle of Hayden Panetanipaninanananpan, well, Clair from Heroes

I liked it cos, even though its just a doodle theres something about it kinda looks like her.

And the final colour pic for the week. WORMINA. Its a zombie version of Wilhelmina, created when some cloning experiment went wrong.

Pretty chuffed with this one. I did the pic of Candleman in the grave yard and was like yeah, thats sweet, and the I just got the inking bug, so I inked up a shitty doodle from the corner of a page and it turned out ok, and then I coloured it up with some nifty back lighting and fire, that looked pretty good actually. Happy with this one :)

BOOOOBIES

Here's a little added thinky.
Claire from HEROES. Man, that series is AMAZING, X-men meets unbreakable with some awesome acting and genius writing. And lets hope it goes somewere unlike LOST








Well. That got your attention. I know it did.







Today we have selection of both boobs and moobs. Here are some doodles from yesterday featuring Wilhelmina waving her arms about and sitting and Claude going FNARG, im guessing hes a bit angry about something, probably you looking at his Willi

And more nakidity.

Mainly I've just been improving my posing and anatomy, with no
desernable characters here. Just pushing the pose a bit really.

A Mayan King.

He's part of some ideas for the back story and history of Candlemans world.

And, as promissed, the second of three full colour pics that I did on Wednesday while I was having my car sorted.

Im pretty chuffed with this puppy, he turned out way

better than I'd imagined.

I hadn't intended to put him in Mega Priests grave yard, it just happened. I added in the mist for atmosphere and that reminded me of old hammer horror grave yards and the rest went from there. Its stronger with the idea of something going on, I feel.

And today I have a link for your, the fab art stylings of Mr Alan Tew

www.beeba.net go now and be awesomised :)

YOW my toe !!

Yeah, I had a good go at breaking one of my toes yesterday. :( spect I'll live though. I did it whilst INKING, woo yeah. I got some ace stuff done while I was at home having some servicing done to my car, and busting my feet.

I'm gonna be cruel and release it in dribs and drabs to you people. Starting with...

THUNDER CLOUD!

I said that the Weather girl character might well be developed into something more, well here she is, in all her lightenning powered glory.

In all honesty, this pic is ok. It was the first one of the day and it had been a while since I took a drawing all the way from pencils to this, so, thats my excuse anyway.

WHA!

Ninja weather girl strikes. Stop looking at her pants or she'll strike you down.

More scribbles of yon Weather girl. :)

Girls

Some times. Quite often actually, I slip in my style and kinda feel like Ive lost something in my work. And then, sometimes, I find I've recaptured it, like this pick here, theres just something about it I like. Which for me is a nice thing, I usully don't like my work too much.
This is a news presenter/ weather girl for candleman, and who knows she may be something more in time. Man, I love developing characters. :) Hope You like her.


Possably a bit arrogant of me, but I thought I'de put up some notes on how I draw my female characters, just incase they were of use to anyonel like, how not to draw um or summit, i dont know.


I know that my fems are not that accurate anatomically, but thats a design desision more than anything. Like the tiny hips and the way thay are made out of the half crsents of the top of the legs, aint too true, but I like the look.


And more female folks and a Zombie. The Zombie is a new hero Geoff and I came up with the other day called EX-HUME. He's a zombie crime fighter, as you can imagine, being undead could be useful in a fight. And the two girls are Action Hero League agents, which means nothing to no one at the moment, but hopefully soon. It will :)

Heres some story boardy stuff for the up coming EPIC CANDLEMAN lights out movie thing.

I did the innitial drawings in indelibal pen and magic markers, then scanned it in and put the rain and higlights on in photoshop. Easier and less perminant than using tip-ex or white pencil.

Yay. Wilhelmina for the story boards. Same technique as above only with an airbrish for highlights to give her face a softer quality.

And a shiny happy picture of Tom, in the rain. Tom is Candleman, and if you dont beleave me just check out the shorts http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=geoffgilson

Have a nice weekend folks. :-)

Hello.

I am living in the fear of growing a George Lucas neck.

I took a picture of me and my girlfreind the other day, and the angle of my head gave me some kinda huge neck, so I did this little pick of me, with a Snake Plisken eye patch dunno why, I like Snake, he's coowol.

And, back in film world, work creeps forward on Candleman: lights out.

Heres a page from the script, a work in progress as you'll no doubt notice a billion mistakes in spelling and gramma and its general over all basicness.

But it does have some doodles on it u may find interesting, and some little insites if you can be assed to read it.

And here is how I write. OMG!? I hear you cry, WTF is that?

This is how I write my quick ideas and dialogue, I doodle the two characters and let them chat to eachother in a situation, and as you can see it tends to wander all over the page as I think and gradually run out of paper, if you can work it out, good luck to yah :)

Hmmm. Now heres a little tease from me to you, cos your speacial



A little screen shot from the pre production stuff for CANDLEMAN : Lights out, the first candleman movie.

Im considering doing it in black and white, I dont know why, but when i started thinking about the opening sequence, i just started seeing it in black n white, like citizen kanem and now I just can't shake the image.

HI there.

Today we present breasts!. Here's a pic I did yesterday of an Aztec princess. At the mo I'm re exploring the core ideas of the Candleman universe amd having a look at ancient cultures and cool stuff with skulls and blood and gold, which the Aztecs and all those folk were quite big on. As for the boobies, well them tribal types especially a few thousand years ago didnt have wonder bras to my knowledge any way, but you never know, archiology may yet surprise us.

And an evolution of the above princess, now in warrior form, and ok, ok, i covered her hoo harrs this time. Would make sence for fighting, you dont want um gettin in the way of guttin lopped off. :)

DOODLES.

Mainly depicting Gerald Moogue, origonally called Morgue, a character from one of my Candleman draft scripts, he gets hold of some ancient Mayan glove things and uses them for EVIL

Hi guys.

Did a lickle pick of WONDER WOMAN

just a quick pencil really, for my girl friend. We just got a copy of Justice league heros and Debbie likes Wonder woman, so i did this as a warm up and a pressie all at once.

THE MAN O STEEL

Yup, Superman. Another pic done for someone. This is for a buddy o mine who's working at Aardman at the mo and there for I havent spoken to him much, but hes a big fan of superman, so i did him a quick sketch this mornin.

More doodloodles from this mornin.

Most of um are Azteky kinda Mayan things based around Willhelmina's long lost relitives and the origin of Hero's in the CM universe

WTF?! what a POS

Has the world gone totally and unsparingly totally NUCKIN FUTS! ( that’s an anagram, a real subtle one.)

I’m sorry to turn this little haven of art goodness into a platform for my political ranting, but day by day, HOUR BY HOUR I find us, and our little happy clappy chav (see Jade Goody) ridden society sliding relentlessly down the gravelly slopes of doom toward the ever beckoning hot bacon smelling gape of the mouth of hell!

STARGATE, I was watching it the other night, the series now, not the movie, and there between the witty lines and brilliant dialogue, a mystery was solved, the mystery of why our news is soo full of dire consequences. A character on the show pointed out, there are two ways to maintain controle over a society, 'fear' or 'hope', geee. Wonder which one their using on us, when the TV continuously drones on about 'bombings, terrorists, pedophiles’, mass murderers, lack of prisons, psychos on the streets, bird flue, gun crime, stabbings and lest we forget global warming'.
The irony is, that governments who do this tend to be forgotten quickly and we remember the nice guys who were pretty upbeat, Like JFK and Churchill. JFK told everyone we could go to the moon and that we should work together to build a better world, not build fences to keep um out. And Churchill kept every one smiling even when the Nazis were practically at the door.
So basically, my message is this. IT'LL BE OK. Terrorism will die, and end, or change or something, the pedophiles’ will get arrested, and we'll deal with global warming and find a better happier warmer world on the other side. So don#t listen to Tony’ propaganda, life’ too short to be dragged down by it all.

Now then.
Here's what we're here for. ART. Having mentioned terrorists and Peado's I'd better post something before the stealth Blackhawk helicopters lower men in cammo onto my house and glove up for a full body cavity search.

Did this this morning. Its a sketch I did a while back and I just found myself inking it. IN A COMPUTER. The ink line work is actually done in PS, which is a first. Penny Arcade do it all the time, but I never felt able to do it, TILL today. Its not great, I feel maybe in places it lacks a little bit of dynamic, but over all its come out better than I would of hoped. :)

Here's a sketchbook doodle of a girls bum. Hmm. Just a look at how trousers pull and fold really.

And a picture of an Egyptian style warrior girl. As I mentioned in my previouse rant, I've been watching Stargate, so I'm in a bit of an ancient Egypt mode at the mo.

And a BIT OF BATMAN.

I've always loved the Dark Knight, The first comic hero I really followed. I always liked the idea that he was just a guy, not a super alien from another world who gets his powers from earths sun.

Anyway, figure I'll take you through this sucker stage by stage.

It started as a rough pencil sketch of the Dark Knigh and at this stage ive scanned it (obveously) and have but in the primary shadows. I always do this before I colour it., coming soon. COLOUR ooooh.

See you later :)

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
