Calendar Continued

We're a few days in now to the nonsense that is our Christmas calendar. Here are a few more illustrations from Dave that I coloured. Remember to check out the live thread at Something Awful.











And then the return of the Christmas Ninjas who look a bit different this year. Drawn by me, inked by Dave, then coloured by me again. JA-PAN!

It's December the first!

...which means it's time for Dave's Advent Calendar again! Once again he's been going mad this year drawing cartoon after cartoon for his Christmas adventure. I've been helping out a bit with colouring again like last year, here's a little peep at today's part.



Of course if you want the full effect of the calendar you really need to head over to the Something Awful forums. They're all just as confused as you are, don't worry!

Thought Bubble

Although I won't be at Leeds this weekend myself Dave will be there representing the both of us. He'll have issues one and two of his Demon Tomato comic for sale and lots of prints of our artwork. With Christmas on the way we decided to get some prints made from our last Advent Calendar in particular. So, if you're like us and tend to get the Christmas Sillies, you might enjoy some of this nonsense:









I'll make Dave put up some of his calendar prints on his blog later, his Christmassy cartoons are hysterical! Look for our table on Saturday then: Dumpy Little Robot.

Leigh Gallagher very kindly gave me a shout out over on his blog and posted some snippets of artwork from his fantastic Judge Dredd story. It's my second colouring job for 2000AD and it's been brilliant fun so far! It'll be in the Megazine at some point soon...whoo!

Final Christmas Sillies

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year! We ended up spending a little too much of it having to do artwork but heck, it was fun.

These are the last main images I did for the Advent Calendar, and only Dave can really do justice to explaining the damn thing at all. It seemed to go down pretty well, with lots of jolly sorts joining in with the fun. Read Dave's post on http://demontomato.blogspot.com/ to get all the details. Although it won't quite explain the Christmas Power Rangers or robots or anything. Just, uhhh, best to just go with the flow and read the thread!

Santa Vs King-Emperor Chicken!

I am really looking forward to seeing a proper new Wallace and Gromit animation on Christmas day.

Calendar: CANDRAKE MASTER LORD

What present will tame this mighty olde beast?

Painty Painty Paint.

Well digital painting anyway. I haven't done this sort of thing in a while and now I have to do lots of it very quickly for our advent calender. I have finished this piece but I took the, ahh, characters off. I will post the final soon but I don't want to spoil the story for everyone reading along on Something Awful. :)

Nativity! Sort of.

Drawn, inked and mainly coloured by Dave. I did the shading, coloured some lineart and added the Christmassy glow! Dave is the only one who can possibly describe any of this quite mental annual Christmas event:

"The traditional Snatavity scene, showing baby SNatter in the slé where him born. People in the stable: mummy & daddy Snatter, the Herald of Christmas Noddy Holder (it isn't christmas until noddy say it's christmas), the actor Burgess Meredith with his little beard butterflies, he is the oldest grandest oldy elf in all North Pole, and Dooley, the unofficial head of the Grotto when he is old."

There you go! It all makes sense now.
