Monster sketches.

There'll be monsters in Josiah Black (of course) and weirdness.
So feast ya eyes on just a hint of what's to come.
Couple of sketches to work out the look of some stuff.

We have a cover

I needed a cover for Josiah Black and I came up with a couple of ideas...as you can see. Quick sketches that I showed Dave and Andy (The creators of Josiah Black).
So I worked on a variation of one I liked and showed Dave and Andy and they liked what they saw, so I did a mock with tone, which came together quite well.
When I got the sketch all sorted I sat down and pencilled and inked the final image.
Dave and Andy loved it and Andy asked if it was Ok to have a play with it...design wise.
So here we are. Haven't seen Andy's magic work on the image yet but I'm certainly am looking forward to it.

Josiah Black.

Met Dave West and Andy Bloor, the creators of Josiah Black at a local pub for an editorial and catch up of the first Josiah Black tale.
Over a bit to eat we talked all things Black to find out where we're taking the character...
And we've decided to take him to some pretty strange places.
I had some ideas I'd written down, some sketches, pencilled art and finished inked art (on me Ipad, isn't modern technology wonderful) that I'd taken, and the guys were pretty impressed with what they saw.
And now they've seen the inked pages I'm showing you guys out there the first three inked pages...well
it's only fair as you've already seen the pencilled pages.
Hope you like ;em as much as Dave and Andy did.
