6 pages worth

I managed to knock out six pages for the Policy police story I'm doing. There are some lovely characters in it.. will let you know when it's all done.

Crush them with facts

Because I am so very very well organised, I have Monday's Wych wolf page up and sitting in the Comic Press queue already..
Because I am shortsighted, i am not using the time to get ahead of myself, and build a buffer, but to dally in the rockpools, and have a go at a guest strip for my chum Steve's "Policy Police' strip.

I've had a quick sketch and my version of the protagonists are now alive in glorious pencilovision..
I've got to knock out a couple of backgrounds, and then I'll knuckle down to the task.
Should have something by the end of the day with luck.

Irony, which as Ted says is like Goldery, or Silvery...

The red oxide colour scheme seems to have "pinked" up a bit in scanning, but never mind.. It's  a Sketch challenge, NOT a long winded arty challenge.
All done, ready for Ten Ton Studio Sketch Challenge tomorrow.

Inked iron

Sat down with a bottle of lovely Sam Smith's brown Ale (thankyou Lisa and Stephen) and inked up the Iron man pic.. I was going to try for an etched look, but blew it half way through, and unfortunately this means lots of spidery hatching lines, using the 0.3mm Staedtler pigment liner.
and nowhere near enough shadow for my liking.
I will make amends with a little colour perhaps, having not learnt my lesson about colouring stuff.

Flashback, to the days when the nights were young...

Ten ton Forum sketch challenge this week is "flashback", a superhero in another era...
I had a go at IronMan as a World War One fighter ace, but there are issues, like his arm getting lopped off the the prop...
anyways, I'll ink it up, but have another idea on the boiler, might get a chance to draw it up before I blast off to Nottingham on Wednesday.

Famous Five

The Ten Ton Studio forum Sketch challenge this week is the "Fatal Five", whom I've never heard of, which is to my credit to be honest looking at the reference materials.
Still, I thought I'd have a scribble, FAIL.
Never mind, next week, next week, that'll be the one.. positive thinking...

Mad as a fish

UPDATE:
They made it, follow the twitter trail on #boyonabike

My dear friend Andy Black is off to cycle coast to coast with his young son this weekend, it's only 147 miles or so, which is nothing for him as he did Lands end to John O'Groats last year (or the year before?) .. but this is a big deal for Linden.
I wish them the best of luck.
I promised him a sketch to stick on sponsor forms, but events overtook me what with my day job at Becta being closed an' all.. still better late than never.
