Eighty Awesome Eighties Action Heroes #4 Westley The Princess Bride

I think I need to watch this movie again. My main memories of it are that Andre the Giant in it. This was quite fun to do. its almost like you throw up a skeletal figure then go have fun with draping the really loose clothing over it. This is the first of two commissions, I cannot wait to do the next character, hes one of my favourites, so much so that Im getting a friend to pose for me in his replica costume so that I can get the pic right.
Four down.. Seventy Six to go!

Eclectic Micks Signing

Bit short notice for this one (thats my fault) But a bunch of the Micks will be signing at Forbidden Planet on Friday next the 10th of December from 5 to 7. If you are in the area, and if you can beat your way in through the snow, then I hope you can make it.

Eighty Awesome Eighties Action Heroes #3 Murtough Lethal Weapon

Interesting Fact: I said my first swear word while watching Lethal Weapon. It just came out, there was nothing I could do about it much to the dismay of my Dad.
I can't decide if I'm going to do Riggs or not.
The next two characters have been picked as commissions for the price of, yep, you guessed it, Eighty Dollars!

You got time to duck?

Eighty Awesome Eighties Action Heroes #1 T-800 Terminator

Easily one of the biggest profile actors of the eighties. The T-800 for me is Arnies ultimate role. The scene in T2 where Sarah Connor first sees him is one of my all time favourite movie moments (I often have to replay the scene as soon as it happens on a rewatch.)
Unfortunately there will be no T2 drawn in this collection as it's 1991. (In my first list I had Sarah Connor and the T-1000 in there after forgetting this fact).
Maybe a lot of people will disagree with me here but I like all four of the movies. The first two are fantastic thrillers, with a real feeling that your never going to escape from the villian. The Third one unfortuneatly lacked that dread but has the best ending (Something I did not see coming at all) and the 4th is a great action movie with another standout fantastic scene which I wont spoil here.

Eighty Awesome Eighties Action Heroes

I've decided to create a new theme for blog postings. Ive come up with the idea to draw 80 movie characters from the 80's. I think it will be fun.
The criteria is that the character has to be from an 80's movie. I'm going to start off this week with the T-800 from Terminator 2.
For certain characters, like say Han Solo, I would have to do a version of him from Empire Strikes back or Return of the Jedi, as A New Hope was released in 79

Gambit and Rogue

Done for a friend. Starting to mess around with the Manga Studio materials a bit more now. I saw Nick Runge's awesome piece where he used an effect similar to this (traditionally done mind you) so I wanted to try and achieve something close to it.
By the way Im going to be posting here a lot more. I was surprised with the amount of hits I've been getting lately so I better get my act together and post more

Practicing Colour

And sketching I guess.

Spider-man

I've always wanted to colour up some of my own sample pages so I drew these with this in mind. That way I could choose the colourholds and drop back the buildings where I wanted to. I really enjoyed doing these pages

Spider-man

Really enjoying colouring lately, and I love drawing this guy whenever I'm in New York

Luke

Really working on my colouring lately so I drew this piece up specifically for practice. Did the whole thing in under two hours which I'm really happy about
