Fin Fang Foom

hmmm what started as a nice turnaround of the Hulk rips wolverine in half story, hasn't worked so well with the red background.
No matter.
welcome to Fin Fang Foom

quick draw

On a recent "comics are great " podcast Ryan Estrada talked about a pen he'd been using that allowed him to speed up his work. I bought a couple: Pentel Stylo refill MLJ20. There are quite fast, but I'm not sure I like the feel of the fibrous nib... it seems a little fragile, and at the wrong angle it "sprays" Anyway I did a quick sketch for this weeks 10 ton challenge, and have to agree it's quick...

UPDATE- weird as it may seem this one was a 10Ton Sketch Challenge winner. Guess I must have captured something of the shock the little fella would feel as 1 pile of innards plopped on his head...

unwonked-update

I cut out the wonky leg with a scalpel as it was bothering me...

UPDATE: hey my wonky robot won this weeks 10ton sketch challenge.. what a delight:

Thing

No lie in this morning, so I had enough time to do a quick sketch for the 10 ton studio sketch challenge.
I've also got to get Monday's strip done, and some other stuff.... so no time to add any polish...
I might try and colourise it later though.

Back in the swing of things

This week the 10 ton sketch challenge is GROO the wanderer. Sergio Aragones created this chap, and anything Aragones does is ok by me.
I used to avidly collect the MAD books that collected his cartoons, even though at age 8 I didn't understand the references to policemen beating up protestors, OR the people playing dice in alleys.
anyway.
Pencil sketch is done.
Inks will have to get done tonight.. though that's not looking likely so it may just be this pencil sketch.

Bleedin' hell

This week the 10t sketch challenge was a Manga vampire killer... I think.
I watched a couple of the you tube clips, but wasn't completely clear even then.
anyways:

Blood

Pencils for this weeks 10 ton studio sketch challenge...

Ex Machina

I never really got to grips with the ex-machina series, I've read a few Trade collections, but I wasn't sure. They reminded me of the old 2000AD series MACH1, and Angel, the first "Man Activated by Compupuncture Hyperpower" was a Bionic man imitation. he second, about a pilot who has his plane's  circuitry imprinted on him in an accident, and can jump off walls and stuff..
anyway.
Here's  my attempt for this weeks 10 ton studio sketch challenge.
Ex Machina.

HULK smash!

This weeks 10t studio sketch challenge..

The Defenders.. Hulk, Doc Strange, lookin for all the world like Apu ... and the SUbmariner in the background..

This is my version of the cover of Defenders#1

Hmmmm

Walking Dead

This week the 10t Sketch Challenge is "the walking dead", a zombie comic, that is unremittingly bleak.
Just read vol11, and things are grim, grimmer than grim.
Anyway, here's my attempt, at Carl, the young boy who's grown up with all this horror.

Policing the Policy

The "Policy Police" Summer Special is here, Script by Steve, scribblin' by me.
It's strange drawing someone else's strip, as I did each panel, it felt lumpy and wrong, but when I'd finished I read it through it felt it flowed really well, AND made me laugh.
Top stuff.

I have to knuckle down now and have a crack at getting ahead with http://www.wychwolf.com as soon I'll be on holiday, and will need a bit of a buffer.

More good news is that this weeks 10Ton Studio Sketch Challenge is "Walking Dead" Zombies, irressistable, lovely flesh eating zombies.
