Abe Lincoln V Kris Kringle.

I've been asked to be the artist on a new 5 part series; Abe Lincoln Vs Kris Kringle.
Yea I know, when I first read the idea, I thought what the...??
I didn't give an answer straight away, not because I didn't like the idea, but because of the commitments I've got. So the writer asked, while I was making my my mind up, if I'd mind doing a 1 page illo, so he he could show it around Wonder Con in April (1st-3rd).


So I said sure, and did a few sketches, as you do, until I settled on the one I liked.
Then I Inked the two major characters.
So far so good.
Liked how it was going.
The writer, Ken Thomas wanted union solders in the background, so on another layer I drew the soldiers above.
And he wanted Elves, so I drew a bunch of elves looking decidedly scared and nervous.
The I did a forground with all the toys being tossed about.
Well, you can't have Santa's grotto without toys and prezzies.
So I put it all together, and it came out Ok. Of course a lot of what I'd drawn was hidden behind characters, but that couldn't be helped.
Next I drew the backgound...
and added a bit of tone and highlights...
...and voila..
One illo.
Ken likes it... I like it (which is unusual, cuz I'm not usually happy with me stuff)
And it'll be shown around Wonder-Con.
Job done.

Jest a little tale.

I hope y'all enjoyed this little tale.
Jest goes to show what could happen to ya, if'n ya are cruel to any critters smaller than you.

Hard Country

A page from the second issue/part (I haven't decided the format yet) of Hard Country all inked, toned and lettered.
Hope ya'll like it.

Jest a couple of sketches.

'Nuff said.

Last of the Heroes and a few villians

Ok, these are the last four I did.

Second lot

Another 4 four stoopid heroes

Stoopid heroes

These are some sketches I did of Sooper heroes.
They were for a pitch to a well known kids weekly comic.
Unfortunately the writer wanted to use established and copyrighted characters and I thought that he wouldn't be allowed to use 'em, so I came up with me own.
He's decided to still pitch the idea, but I walked away.
Pity, anyway have a looksey fer yourself and see what you think.

There's twelve in total and I'll post 'em over the next three days, (I know, I know teasing bastard!)
Can't be helped that's just the way I am.
Hope y'all enjoy 'em.
