Eighty Awesome Eighties Action Heroes #9 Robocop

Between Robocop and C3PO I've learned that I like drawing shiney things. I had many a sleepless night as a kid after seeing Murphy being blown to bits at the start of the movie. I have some vague recollection of some Commodore 64 game too.

Lord Vader

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Big news in Will land today as I've just signed on to do a Star Wars comic. Something I have always wanted to do. Ill still be drawing Farscape fulltime as always, infact, issue 17 which I have just finished was my favourite so far.
The comic will be set in the Clone wars and I will be pulling from the wealth of referance that I have whichfellow Irish men Killian Plunkett and Dermot Power have worked on

Farscape Preview

Up on Major Spoilers. Just finished up issue 17 which was a ton of fun to do

Eighty Awesome Eighties Action Heroes #8 Boba Fett

Badass Boba Fett. Great character whos best moments come in the Clone wars series where as a young fella he goes on a vendetta against Mace Windu for killing his father.
I could probobly happily do the rest of the 80 with just Star Wars characters so I will have to keep reigning myself in.

Eighty Awesome Eighties Action Heroes #7 William Hudson

Aliens freaked the crap outta me as a kid, so needless to say there will be a few characters from it in the 80.
They're coming outta the walls. They're coming outta the goddamn walls.

Eighty80's Commissions

Here are the inked versions of the first to of the 6 so far sold. Im starting no. 7 tonight : "Game over man!"

Eighty Awesome Eighties Action Heroes #6 Marty McFly

Some of you may notice that this is just a port of a recent pic that I did over at the Micks blog. But hey, I'm on holidays and I liked this pic so I wanted to include it in the group.
I watched the trilogy again before drawing this. Such a fun group of movies

Eighty Awesome Eighties Action Heroes #5 Indiana Jones

Easily one of my favourite movie series of all time. Indiana Jones holds up as a series as much as it does for kids as it does for adults which is a rare thing. I really enjoy drawing Harrison Ford. I drew him recently enough over at the Micks blog as Han Solo.
Luckily while drawing this I was up at Stephen Mooneys studio so I had the full resources of his costume and premium format Sideshow Indy Statue. Roll on Indy 6

Gambit and Rogue Coloured

Up drawing in Moonbase one with Declan Shalvey and Stephen Mooney. Heres that Gambit Pic coloured

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!

Eighty Awesome Eighties Action Heroes #2 Blaine Predator

 I aint got time to bleed.....

You got time to duck?
