Gumbo, Rita, Nemesis and Robots.

This is one of those awful weeks where it looks suspiciously like I'm doing nowt. No worries, I'm colouring a new issue of Tom and Jerry at the moment! But I've also been getting my first Gumbo comic strip started and have been wondering whether I should put some images from it up here. I've decided to put up page one, and update you on each step so you can see how I make my comics. Dave has just started inking this page.



I don't know why I wanted to draw Rita Repulsa. I forgot that she had those, er, pointy parts on her costume. And how did she get her staff back every episode anyway? Didn't she throw it to Earth from the moon to make the monsters go big? Man that show confused me.



Tom said it would be interesting if I tried drawing Nemesis the Warlock from 2000AD. I knew very little about the character but that's going to change because HOLY COW he's one cool looking dude. What an awesome design. We've got the collections in my shop so I'll be sneaking quick reads on my breaks.



And I finished Jetstorm and Jetfire! They are cute as the dickens, their bad english makes me happy.



The image with Gumbo and the many eyed dragon thing is still on the way. The colouring on the beastie however was not going in a direction I liked, so I restarted him. Dowhhh.
