Clutching at straws issue 0

Here's the cover to Clutching at straws issue 0. I really liked how this whole issue came out, and I did it all from front to back in a week and a half. How? Don't ask me, seriously... I don't know.

Inked and coloured poster. GTG!

All done. This took me most of the day to ink and colour, but I feel it came out ok. I put in the order for this to be printed as a poster for the convention later this month, so it will be available for purchase.

Sketches Ahoy!

I'm preparing for Supanova hitting Perth. I want to sell original sketches while I'm over there, so I've been sketching a bunch of them, and of course keeping the originals.
Here they are:

Inks. Check.

Here's the completed inks to this picture. I don't think I will commit this to colours.
Done deal?! Let me know what you think... I'm open to suggestions.

Revisiting old work

I'm working on redoing this old picture from MWTF. I added the car in since the last version. Next i'm going to set out to do this with block shadows, like sin city. Hopefully it will come out looking really nice. I'll post up any efforts after this.

Page 15 Pencils

I did some work on the pencils for page 15 today, this is what I nutted out.
In frame 2, they're supposed to be exhausted and trying to catch their breath, but that was a little bit tricky to draw. I think some more sweat marks and some sound effect wordart will do it.

Woops

I accidentally deleted the sketch for page 14. Here it is again.

Colours OVERLOAD

AAAAAnd, the colours. I wanted to touch on this really quickly. This is by far, the hardest page I've had to colour so far. There was a lot to it, and I don't really like the way it turned out. A little bit too busy I think. Better luck next time. I think the main thing I took away from this page was, keep it to the elements. Simple is better. Ok, till next update, i'm out.

The inks, took SO LONG

Here is the inks to page 14. This took me quite a long time actually. I am still getting the hang of the new style of inking I've adopted, it's getting there but I'm still not quite comfortable. You'll notice, sometimes the lines fall a bit flat and the weight clumps together. I'm getting there though.

Page 13 colours

Here's page 13 all done. I forgot how long shading takes...

Page 13 Inks

This is just a new page to chapter 2 of Clutching at Straws I've been working on in my spare time. The page looks completely different to page 12, I'm not sure if that'll annoy anyone when the book goes to print, with continuity of style, but oh well!! I'm doing this to get better.


I think it's going to look exceptionally good when I get the colours done.

Inside Issue 1

I needed to do the credits for the inside cover of issue 1. I went through all of the strips from this issue and couldn't find a decent stand alone picture to put in... so I had to go ahead and draw something new...

I think it looks good, took ages to colour, but I dig it. Sydney looks a bit different... I don't think anyone will mind :D

Cover 2, Yep. That's right

This is the cover for issue 2, which is only half complete.

This will probably print in July sometime.

Make with the.... STRAWS

I've been working on a new title for the online comic I draw for called Make with the Funny I wanted to market it better for print, because I'll be getting this first issue sent to the printers in a few weeks.

This is the finished artwork with new title for issue 1.
