New York Comic Con

Hey guys, Have a con exclusive coming out next week at the New York. Have my bags packed and am ready to fly over myself with a fairly big Irish contingent so its gonna be a lot of fun. Messers Mooney and Shalvey from the Micks will be there aswell as a few others. If last year was anything to go by a lot of time will be spent in the bars... or at a petrol station beside the bar waiting for it to open (ah the memories Dec)
Anyways, back to Farscape, I cant wait to get my hands on this and see what it looks like in person. Here are the inks for it aswell as a youtube video Boom Posted to show the Holofoil effect.
In other Farscape news, Strange Deteractors is going well and I'll also be doing covers for Farscape D'Argos Lament which comes around the same time as SD

St Hendrix

Heres a shock, something thats not to do with comics. Might be doing a few illustrations for a local pub as the new manager is redesigning the place into a music bar. The current decor for the place is like a church so I was thinking a series of famous musicians around the place would be a lot of fun and look really cool. Gonna colour thins using photos of stained glass so it looks like a real stained glass window itself

Strange Detractors

As far as I know this is in Previews now (Or has been for a couple of weeks) so you can order away to your hearts content. Did the interiors on this, The covers are by Joe Corroney and Dennis Calero, written by Keith DeCandido, Rockne O'Bannon

Age of Heroes is Finished

Finished this up yesterday bar a few spelling mistakes and touchups. Gonna send it around to a few people now and see what they think. Honetly I dont mind if it doesnt get published or anything like that. It was just a lot of fun to do.

Im an Astronaut

Heyhey all, im back in Ireland after a great year in Toronto, was obviously sad to leave the place but I came home for christmas which is always a good time to travel home.
Looks like my next stop on the road will be Japan which Im quite excited about. Thinking of heading there for a month to draw some more Farscape after the New York comic con. Probobly will be back in Ireland for the launch of issue one of Strange Detractors.
Anyways heres a sketch of the main man himself John Crichton. I really wanna nail the likenesses for this run as thats what the farscape fans on the boards I've been lurking on want the most.
And as much as I love the gritty textured art of say Leinil Yu, im gonna try and go the more Adam Hughes, Ryan Sook type route and get it down with the least amount of lines possible.

Merry Frelling christmas

So I can finally announce that Im gonna be drawing for Boom Studios on Farscape. Taking over on the fifth issue, which will be issue one of the Strange Detractors arc.
Details are here

Im feckin delighted to be working on Farscape, I've been always fan of it back to its BBC days and used to watch it with my buddy Baz back when I was living in Cork so its cool to be contributing to the universe.
And to those of you who are into Farscape, its written by Rockne O'Bannon the series creator and Farscape Novelist Keith DeCandido so its being seen as "season 5" of the show, and its gonna tie in directly to the upcoming webisode.

Superman/Batman

Every year myself and Dec do a Superman Batman drawing at christmas time and will continue to do so until we inevitably end up hating each other due to jealousy over some woman or something like that. The first one we did was three years ago and its hilarious to see the difference in the standard of it. I missing the scan of one of the years. Once I find it I'll post up the progression

Dredd

Messing around with Zbrush and photoshop here. Only getting into it but its a lot of fun

Colouring

Heres the 90% finished version of panels I posted previously. Just gotta work on the saturation levels and make some slight colour and atmospheric changes so that it doesnt look to shiney and bright

Age of Heroes

Here is a large element of the cover for the book. I really enjoy drawing in this goldenage superman style. Hopefully once the cover is complete it will give a hint into whats gonna happen over the course of the issue and once you have read the ending it be apparent why the cover is the way it is.
I kinda want this book to be really simple to get into. Its designed so that you dont need the back stories of any of the heroes as its not really about them. Infact if you want those three characters could well be Superman, The Flash and Wonder Woman, it really doesnt matter. Anyways thats enough about it, I hate talking to much about it as it could well turn out to be a big load of crap. Atleast we'll find out soon though as Im pretty much finished the first issue. Infact I have about 6 pages coloured out of the 25 that are in it.
In other news im actually a few days behind on AOH from where I planned as I've started working on my next book. I cant say too much about it now except that its for an American company and its for something that I am really really gonna having a blast drawing.

Bishop

Warm up piece for the day. I feckin love Bishops storyline at the moment. All that X-men in the future stuff is just plain great and reminds me of when I really got into them back in the early ninties. Even the new Wolverine cartoon is top notch, basically when mutantkind is being imprisoned and persecuted its just awesome

Nearly there

More Star Wars

What, a whole month without a Star Wars drawing?? Im slipping. This is supposed to be through the eyes of Luke at the end of Empire Strikes back. Im thinking of doing a series of drawings from different movies that are though the eys of a character, just to offer a slightly different perspective on already famous scenes. Next up is gonna be a scene from ghostbusters where they finally meet Slimer. Anybody got any suggestions for any others??

More Panels

Still plugging away at the Age of Heroes. Heres a panel from Page 15. Issue one will be slightly over sized at 25 pages, and if all goes to plan the following three will be standerd length books.
