Webcomics

If you read the last post you will remember mentioning that me and my friend Benn have been throwing about our webcomic ideas again.

So here are some roughs, we aren't up and running yet but we have over 20 thoroughly planned strip ideas. You won't be able to tell whats going on and that's the way I like it, it maybe that I'm inherently evil.

People keep asking me "So whats your webcomic about" and it's a tough question. Though the way Ross described it to someone he knows is, "Shes making it with someone who runs Unknown Armies, that gives you an idea of how surreal it will be." Benn the guy who is primarily doing the writing for the comic is a superb bloke from New Zealand who I met via ORC: Open Roleplaying Society that runs every Saturday at Caffe Nero on Rose Street.

If you also look in my side bar you will see a small list of webcomics that I read. I also listen to a podcast called Webcomics Weekly with some pretty experienced cartoonists, Scott Kurtz of PvP, Kris Straub with Starslip Crisis, Dave Kellett with Sheldon and Brad Guigar with Evil Inc. So this really made me want to get back into working on the webcomics. If your thinking about getting into webcomics I would seriously recommend it.

You may have gotten the idea by now that I am in love with webcomics, though when it comes to printed it comes down to three words for me.

Calvin and Hobbes.

Thanks for coming by for a gander.

Here we go - sorry for the wait

Well here we go finally some sketches from the other week when I was workinging towards the 'wrinkles' image for the illustration friday piece I did. I enjoyed illustration friday it will be a good thing to try keep up doing over the summer to keep my creative juices flowing. I hate that expression.

Anyway sorry it took a while. I have accessment work to do that has to be handed in monday. Though It's good to look over some of my old back up work for projects again, I think I have have abit of development these last few weeks and I have started to actully feel settled in to the course. It took all the way to the last term. The fact that it is the last term surprises me. 3rd year is on the horizon (I hope).


Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the sketches

Wrinkles - Illustration Friday

Monday was a day of mystery not knowing what wonders we would behold as we were given our brief. So this week I am taking part in Illustration Friday, the theme is wrinkles so here is some of my sketch book ideas. I wad trying to get away from the idea of old people and try something that was a bit abstract but now I think I am going to give it more of a narrative feel and I enjoy drawing people so I went for a wee trip out of the studio. We are doing this with Jill Calder and I feel that it is unfortunate that we haven't seen so much of her this year because she has set us some really interesting stuff. (p.s. this is rehearsed compliment designed specifically to get brownie points because she is probably reading this)

I went and hung out it Elephant House in Edinburgh as it's always very chatty and busy, so I drew some people, if you ever go the Elephant house try the mallow delight it's really nice I don't really like hot chocolate but ummmmm. Anyway look at the image and see how deep and meaningful it is. Stay tuned. ^_^
