Doodle day!

Still colouring, still work I can't post! So I've been sketching on the bus going to work lately, just to practise my posing.





This is the nonsense I spout when I plan pictures and layouts. I'm thinking about the cover for my Princess Deedot comic.



And at Travelling Man comics night last night I was mainly working on some portfolio pages but managed to fit in more superhero doodling. Mister Miracle and Big Barda! When I've finished reading olde 2000 AD comics I'm thinking of picking up those lovely Fourth World Omnibus hardcovers. I love Kirby designs but have never read Fourth World. Madness!



Dave asked why Mister Miracle was wearing a mermaids bra. :(

Deedot and the Cyclops.

Originally I was going to aim for putting a new finished piece up here every Friday, with sketches and so forth going up every few days. Instead I went ahead and just got this all coloured today. When I do personal work I realised that I slow down a lot. No more! My next piece is half inked already and I have more sketched out.

If I stick to my new artwork schedule, Gumbo and Deedot (the lady knight in the stupidly tall tree) should be seen in a mini comic for Birmingham International comics show.

Batgirl, Deedot and Cynopolis.

I haven't really read any Batgirl comics but of all the female Bat characters I do like her design the most. No flowing long hair or high heels!



Earlier in the blog I posted some development sketches of a knight style character called Gumbo. The following lady, Princess Deedot, is from the same comic book idea. I have some more sketches of her to add later.



Deedot stuck up a tree facing a giant tubby cyclops?



And some city doodling. I really need to give my background work a kick up the bum because I still think it's the weakest part of my comic work. So I've been making myself do more pages like this.
