Moooo

Well, im back after being really busy for the last while (Still am strangely enough) and being hit by some crazy illness. Birmingham was just great, I'll have something to post from it tomorrow that was the highlight of my very short career so far.
Heres a pic from the second Rocket group. I believe the first is about to be solicited which will be great.

Classic

Good news today folks. I've just become part of the classical comics team, (this plays into my whole forever following Declan's career so far). Those of you detectives out there may have noticed in previous posts its for their Richard III book. The book itself will be a mammoth 144 pgs which will keep me busy for the best part of a year. This represents a big opportunity to me and I'm delighted to get it. Rest assured, those of you waiting to see more Rocket Group that I'm still finishing up the conclusion to the arc and possibly more!!

Sub-con

Well it was a great weekend. Brilliant to meet everyone who stops by on the blog and put a face to the names and also to meet a load of new people aswell. Honestly didn't expect there to be such a big crowd at the thing, my arm was wrecked from sketching by lunchtime, it was really great.
I have to take this moment to say a big big thanks to Rich Carrie, his sculpture of the Project Bushido is just amazing. It now graces my profile pic on just about every social site thingy I have.
Well done also to Rob for setting the whole thing up.
I have a lot more pics to post when I get my hands on them and also I must scan in a "Strangeland" sketch of Dec by Tayto fan Paul. But for now feast your eyes on that fine sculpt and its happy fan

I am the Law

Was really impressed by Mooney's Dredd the other day. Realised when I saw it that I had never really drawn him so I wanted to give it a lash. Also gave me a chance to post something up on Rich's quick draw site and to have a rare chance at drawing something that wasn't related directly to work.

Ps, on another note,, heres one of my all-time favourite songs

Ross vs Lee

I've missed all the showings of this so far but I have my alarm set for it tonight. Its on at 12.30am

Goodies

Look what arrived in the post yesterday morning

Iron Doodle

I like how this came out, I wanted to up the detail on the Iron man pieces I'd drawn before. Obviously Im still using the 3D model I created as referance and will continue to do so

Finito

Just finished lettering this. Gonna take a break from scripts now today and just sketch for fun

Quick Update

Should be finished Your Round Today. Thats the plan anyways with all the sport over the weekend.

Who's Round is it

Another preview pic from Stout

Im back and im black

Well, im less shade of white anyways atleast but I'm sure that will be gone within a few days thanks to our crappy Irish weather.
Just started on a six page piece for Declan Shalveys Your Round issue two. Its written by the mighty talented Ben McCool and is a lot of fun to draw. Heres a panel from the first pg

Rocket group wraps

So I'm finished the first volume Rocket Group and am pretty damn happy. Had a bit of a rush the last few weeks making sure that I got it done before I went off to New York (Cant feckin wait by the way) Plan is now to relax for a bit and head away. When I'm back in Ireland the buildup will begin for the Dublin and Birmingham cons which should be a blast so hauling mysaelf back across the Atlantic wont too much of a pain

Doodling

Just waiting on some script so did a little sketching.
And incase your wondering who it is...... Its midnighter from Authority.... dressed as Cyclops

This cover was a lot of fun to do but kind of bittersweet as a big name Cover artist was attached to it. (No not Declan Shalvey, id never let that hack near my stuff)
In the process of colouring it now and by god am I crap at it. Trying some funky techniques like crayons and fingerpaint but its just not working.
Heres the initial sketch that I started messing around with. Totally wasn't in the scanning mood last night but I took a quick snap

Update1 :
Here it is inked and I was messing around with the logo placement. I made a few small changes, especially with the Bushido


Update 2:
Next up is most of the flatting. A bit of trusty two tone shading, and some pink back lighting. The only thing close to being finished right now is the Night Ghosts coat

Update 3:
And Bam, the pic is pretty much finished
