Posting late here but better late than never! If you check out recent posts at the Dumpy Little Robot site you'll see we've been posting about our table this year at Thought Bubble. We can't wait to go, I haven't been to a con since Cardiff back in Feb. And I'll finally have some Imaginary Gumbo minicomics for sale! Have some Gumbo art previews!
A new image of the star of the comic we're developing. Every time I think I've tied down Charlie's design I end up tweaking her more, but I think this one is my favourite so far.
And a colour version of her home!
Been working on some more ideas for the world of Imaginary Gumbo:
And of course some more TMNT pages!
Dumpy Little Robot will also be at the Birmingham comic con later this month, so please come and say hi!
After flat colouring this image Dave and I decided to see what it would look like with a half-tone effect. I'll finish a fully shaded version too, but I enjoy this version so much! I used to sit with Fleetway TMNT comics all day, re-reading them over and over or copying the drawings. And the reprints of the Archie TMNT strips looked just like this.
Between too much caffeine, staring at Skottie Young artwork, having a smidge of spare time and a desire to muck about with Manga Studio more, I did some things.
I preferred the Misfits myself. Their songs were better. (part of my slightly failed girly week)
Onto some Gumbo stuff, here is Charlie showing off her wicked treehouse.
A close-up on Charlie, I like this one!
And Gumbo. Oo er.
And now back to work! TMNT ahoy!
She's a bit disappointed.
And here are some more pages from volume 4 of Kingdom, which recently finished in 2000AD. Artwork by Richard Elson and colours by me. Again, Rich will tweak here and there and add Gene's blue markings.

I've been making a few changes to how I work recently, hoping to speed myself up a lot more. Inking has always been a slow hard slog for me in particular. Sadly my first attempt in drawing/inking/colouring pages for TMNT in Photoshop started far too slowly, but by the last page I realised I had produced it much faster than the first. If only those first two hadn't taken me so long to ink! Still, I feel very good about issue 18.
"But there are no turtles in this entry! What does that have to do with anything?!"
Faster means I finish my daily freelance work with enough time to get a bit of Imaginary Gumbo done every day. Hopefully, fingers crossed, we will have the first minicomic going up on www.imaginarygumbo.com in December.
For now I will be promoting the heck out of it, we'll be at BICS and Thought Bubble this year with Gumbo and Demon Tomato goodies, and lots of sneak peeks and info will end up on www.imaginarygumbo.com over the next couple of months. For now enjoy some Gumbo artwork. And a cartoony Garrus from Mass Effect for no good reason (insert calibrations joke here).
