More Ninja Turtles

Just a quickie as it's turned into another busy week. Some more pages from my recent TMNT work.

TMNT Power!

Here we go then, this is why I've been busy for the last few months. I've been drawing comics for a new russian Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles magazine for GeFabbri. It's been great fun, TMNT was a big craze for me when I was a kid! Each issue of the magazine has two two-page comics, one about the good guys and one about the villains. I'll get some more pages posted here next week.

I'm not sure why Bebop and Rocksteady are in the second comic as the mag seems mainly based around the newer cartoons, but who cares when you get to draw freakin' Bebop and Rocksteady!

Slightly Delayed...(Judge Dredd Colours)

Well I can at least say I've not been neglecting this blog due to laziness or lack of interest. Things have been going okay since I did my first work for 2000AD and Harrods, I have been drawing and colouring some comic strips for Ge Fabbri along with my usual colouring work on Tom and Jerry magazine. Plus I've been colouring the covers for the Scooby Doo magazine. It's been good fun if a little hectic, fitting it all in with my work at the comic shop. But I intend to update the blog at least once a week from now on with sketches and samples from my drawing and colouring work.

So I'll start with a few samples from the colouring job I did for the Megazine earlier this year. Pencils and inks by the lovely Leigh Gallagher. Of course I'm already beating myself up over the colour choices I made in this but I think of that as a good thing. It should mean the next time I get to work on a job like this I'll be better at it!

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!

Kingdom Colouring Samples.

Well I'm busy yet again with more colouring work at the moment so no new sketches just yet. But here are a few samples from my work on Kingdom with the marvelous Richard Elson. There are pages where Richard did some tweaks on the colours so my pages kept consistent with his, he also did the markings on Gene. It was an awesome job, I feel that I've learned so much from working with him.









Story by Dan Abnett, pencils by Richard Elson, colours by me. Dan Abnett is also brilliant and if you haven't read any of his novels or comics you should go out looking for them right now. It's his bloody fault I've got a box full of Warhammer 40k models waiting for me to finish my colouring work! Stupid massively entertaining Horus Heresy...
