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.

Decepticon Sketches

The Advent Calender is going to be a far bigger project than I realised! But it's massive fun and I'll be posting a couple of our images here once Dave OK's it. Until then I had intended to hold back my robot scrawls a little but what the hell! I never get to draw baddies, so here's Lugnut, Megatron and Starscream.

Tom and Jerry 25

Later than expected. I have been helping Dave with his Christmas advent calender project and blimey, he's done more drawings for it than I'd realised. The first time he did this it meant a drawing every day in December. NOW it's between 5 and 10 fully inked, coloured and shaded drawings completed for every day in December. I'm giving a bit of a helping hand with the colours so he can carry on with the drawing and inking.

But for now here are my colours for Tom and Jerry 25. Pencils by Lee Carey and inks by Bambos Georgiou.

Sketch Cards

Holy moly, an update! It's been a busy few weeks and my sketchbook has been getting lonely. Extra days at the shop mixed in with colouring more Tom and Jerry. I have managed to get a little bit of personal work done but I'm still not as close as I'd like to finishing this spanking new portfolio my brain is envisioning. And Nemesis Fleethas slowed to a crawl for now. The crawl of a dead, rotting fish.

Dave has been dishing out drawings all over the place for his December project however, the productive git! I can't wait for him to post that stuff up. And though I've been stuck at work I've been making a lot of these little buisness cards to promote the blog. People like em! It's fun giving my customers something like this, and it's been a good exercise. My sketches have been growing in confidence.

Batman is the most popular. This is not even remotely surprising.



Coming later this week: Nemesis Fleet development (honestly!), more Tom and Jerry colours and, of course, some Transformers.

Election Night Catwoman

Jaime's suggestion today for my doodles, a good old fashioned Old School Catwoman! Mrowr!

Sketch week! Day number two.

Onto some suggestions from my friend Tom now. We're going old school Japanese! While I did attempt a classic Godzilla for him I had trouble finding references, so he'll be along later in the week. It's a robot themed day instead starting with Astro Boy.



I don't really know this Spectreman dude, but as soon as I Googled up some photos yesterday I knew I loved him already. He's kinda fantastic, I'm now inspired to do an Ultraman/Jet Jaguar/Spectreman-Super-Team-Up-Unite picture. Something goofy and awesome.

But will the film be any good?!

Just finished a colouring job and got my friends to start setting me little challenges again. Characters I'd not normally think about drawing. I'm also back on getting portfolio work done. So a quick one to start the week, some Watchmen inspired doodles. Since the trailer went online a few months back I have had a crazy amount of people come to my shop after the book. So whether the film comes out good or not, at least a lot of new readers have ended up picking up this classic. Grand!

Who watched Dead Set last week? I'll be having nightmares about zombies for weeks.
