Work in progress again, back on the Tyranny Rex commission. Rob wanted me to vary a few things from the interim layout but I wasn't quite happy with Tyranny anyway, so I tried a couple of extra poses out...
I got a bit carried away and then couldn't decide which one worked best... if in doubt, let the client decide!
Rob chose 'E'... and suggested I wrap her tail around a dancer's pole! Things are coming together nicely now, and I'll post up the rough pencils here in the next couple of days.

Amongst other bits and pieces and preparation for this weekend's Kapow, I've been doing a commission for John Burdis, I'd done something for The Cellar of Dredd before, a quick single illustration of Hondo-Cit's Inspector Inaba. I'd done that under my own steam following the fab time I had at the Hi-Ex Comicon, but this time, John had something in mind.
The following is all about the "process" for those of you who like to see the work in progress stuff.
I did an initial sketch based upon John's original brief:
"Dredd stood in the middle of a street with dead superheroes strewn all around him and Joe saying something along the lines of "Costumed vigilantes, leave the real crime fighting to me!" The characters who would be dead would include Superman (head missing definitely), Batman, Wonderwoman, Captain America and all those other US bods."
One thought kept floating around my brain, a pile of dead super-heroes and something in Brian Bolland's classic cover to Prog 2000 kept nagging at me as well.
John liked the inital sketch but had a couple of requests for additions if I could manage them:
First up was a simple addition to the roster of the dispatched: "Green Arrow's arm with a broken bow"
Next was just a weapons' upgrade to the "Colt Widowmaker " instead of the Anti-Hero gun I'd been musing over as the reason why Dredd was now able to dispatch these super-heroes.
Finally, a nice way to really make the commission a personal one: " a large pristine BURDIS BLOCK and a couple of derelict smaller blocks with the names MARVEL and DC".
In Dredd's world, towering apartment Blocks are often named after famous people, sometimes for satirical reasons, sometimes equally as a tribute to that person. I felt that DC and MARVEL blocks could nicely be rolled into the one (albeit well beaten-up) DEE CEE MARVILLE block.
I wanted the blocks to say something about John and the two comic companies respectively... aside from the beaten-up aspect of DEE CEE
An excellent peice of work Kev! It'd be interesting to see the strip when Silver Surfer catches up Dredd, those Kryptonite tipped bullets won't be much good then. Hmm, how would he get out of that one?
Really superb piece of work Kev! The splatter inking is especially nice to see and sets the pile of perfectly against Dredd. Beautiful inking and great design and composition. A real acquisition for John Burdis!
I am lucky enough to once again have a piece of my work thrust into the spotlight over on the fantastic Scotch Corner. Appearing tomorrow will be my version of the Joker. Here is the work in progress for it.
1 2
Initially I drew the head and face for the Joker in my sketch book. I scanned this at 300dpi, mucked about in photoshop and added the hand with the playing card (1). Then I started to add some colour to the piece, trying out different things but ultimately knowing that I wanted a classic colour scheme for the final piece (2).
3 4
I changed my mind about how the piece should be cropped and added the top of the Joker's head... at this point I also added the little Joker as previously posted and the ambigram of the word Joker from the Harley Quinn piece I did in July (3). The next step was to drop out all the colour and create an image that would only print from the cyan tank of my printer (4).
5 6
I inked the "blue-scale" image after printing it out onto a nice sheet of bristol board (5). Obviously I don't want all that blue, I just want the nice clean ink lines (6). In photoshop there are plenty of ways to remove the blue - I use the channel mixer to remove most of the blue but some people prefer to convert to CMYK and then throw away the cyan channel. Both methods require some fiddling with levels to remove any grey areas and leave a nice Black and white image.
The final stage for me was to composite my two files (3) and (6), clean up any glaringly obvious problems, add some sort of background and a bit of texture to add some more depth to it all. To see how the final thing turned out, pop over to Scotch Corner on Saturday!
As an aside, I think this is pretty appropriate as a Halloween post!

Still gives me the creeps every time I see it! A great piece of work, and fascinating as always to see your process. It's great to see Joker brought up to date and given a new twist. Does he also wear a hoody...:) On a constructive / destructive note, I wonder in seeing it again whether the hand (although excellently constructed as it now is) should be more slender and spindly to match the lanky frame of the traditional Joker...??! Still knockout regardless!
The current topic for DrawerGeeks is Frankenstein's Monster.
Having done a version of the monster once or twice before, I was reluctant to tread the same ground. Unfortunately as my idea arrived a bit late in the day yesterday, I've only partially finished it. I think it illustrates the concept though and I'm fairly happy with it - hopefully I'll get the chance to finish it up properly, but it's joining a long 'to do' list!

She's scary! The green tint and lighting really give it that James Whale horror pic feel. So I take it she's a scientifically / medically modified creature...?! Love the Tweak..."When aardvarks attack"...or is it just "Guess who"...?! Nice to see the spontaneous Wacom sketches. You look really at home in the digital world!
Been sick as a dog ever since I went to Birmingham, and haven't really been up to much since. My good lady has the anti-viral medication for the flu - and both of us have been rattling around drugged up on a smorgasbord of other cold remedies for the past week. Today, I feel almost back to normal - and to ease me in gently back to work I've done a quick Dredd Head as a submission for a drawing thread over on the 2000AD forum.
15 minutes to draw Dredd's head... This was 15 minutes, sketched in photoshop with my wacom. I'm not really that happy with how this has turned out - oh well... back to the drawing board!
Edit: Johnny Alpha, Stontium Dog... 15 minutes digital sketch:
"Stimpy, you eediot!"
Did you spot the 'deliberate' mistakes in these two?
No? It's '09 - not '08, obviously, I'm still a bit foggy in the head!
1 Comments on 15 Minute Dredd Head, last added: 10/19/2009
Not happy?! That took you only 15 minutes and you're not happy with it! Kev, if it's any consolation; I'm happy with it. I wish I could come up with something as well executed, as full of energy and character as that, in only 15 mins.
After fiddling with the 'paint' job on this for a bit too long - I have decided that I don't really like the effect that I am getting here. What worked quickly and effectively for the Pulpy Punisher seems mired in labourious detail when applied to strip work.
As I had altered some stuff from the pencils, I used the existing file to create a 'non-reproducing blue' guide for inking... That took some doing, but I'm part way done on inking the page now and despite the desire to show the other style at BICS, I'm much happier with the results I've already produced with my inks. Hopefully it will just be a case of 'dropping' them over the already worked-up colour file.
It doesn't hurt to experiment, and I'm glad I gave this a crack but in order to be ready for next weekend, it will be safer to produce the rest of these samples in my tried and tested style - I just hope I'm not doing myself a disservice with this decision.
Oh and just one final thing. The comics with my first published work are now available via the good folk at FutureQuake Press - and you can order them here. OR HERE:
Zarjaz issue 08 - £3 + p&p
Dogbreath issue 21 - £3 + p&p
Please do help to support the endeavour, as without Small Press publishers like FutureQuake, it would be much harder for people like me to get work in print. They have other new comics out as well, all produced for the love of the medium.

Here is a sneak peak at that page again... very rough (and incomplete) colours this time, not wholly sure that the 'painted' approach is working for me. The script asks for early evening and I've wondered about rendering the whole page as an orangey or sepia tonal thing.
Rendering without the benefit of a nice ink line to follow makes the task of colouring up a lot more intense... Inked lines hide a multitude of sins and the thicker they are the better they are at hiding where I've gone over the lines!

Worth bering in mind that you can ink over the top of the fully-painted look. I'm sure I've read an interview with John Burns where he said he'd started doing this recently. I'm sure some recent art I've seen elsewhere does this.
However, it might just be the wrong strip for this style. It is set in the daytime and (if the Punisher picture is anything to go by) it might be the night suits this as big slabs of black are a help ;) After all the bright cartoony art this was originally done in might be the right choice for this (Tharg is a genius at "casting" the right artist for the right gig and this might just be it).
Still I definitely feel it is worth pursuing this angle.
The next topic for DrawerGeeks is Spider-man. I've not only gone overboard on this, I've taken a whole life raft with me (and we've both got carried away!). Yes, I've scripted, sketched and provisionally lettered this two-page strip. These are the pencil roughs ready to tighten-up. I've got a lot to do before Friday as I want this fully coloured for submission also!
If you'd rather wait for the final lettered strip to appreciate the thing in full, please look away now!
I think it's pretty clear what's going on - just a little gag suggested by Matt.
I wanted some strip work other than Dredd and 2000Ad related stuff in my (comics) portfolio - hopefully I'll get to show this at the Birmingham International Comics Show this year. My heart is definitely still in 2000AD, but I need to consider other avenues and Spidey has always been one of my other favourites.

I've been off for a few days and I'm back a little more refreshed than when I left and definitely ready to get stuck into the pile of things I now have to catch up on. The 'Twisted Creatures' or the examples of 'Darwin's Worst Evolutionary Nightmare' continue unabated with the current animal being the Hyena. Matt and Phil have both completed their wonderful versions already.
Matt has nominated the Camel for the next animal for our respective treatments. I hope Matt and Phil won't mind that this little cheat will modify the two creatures into one submission. It also fits Illustration Friday's current topic of modify.
Mixing the body of the Camel with the head of the Hyena has come up with something truly bizarre - but there is something I like about it. With a bit more work I think this could easily work as one of the 'genetically modified' Podz creatures I worked on before I was a freelancer.
I guess it falls to me to nominate the next animal - unless I've been disqualified! Next creature: Salamander
THAT"S IT PHIL! Been puzzling me as to what it reminded me of... it's the long legs and short neck I reckon. Lovely stuff, very nice loose texture rendering ...although Phil and I will have to see if we knock off points for the shameless violation of the rules ;) Curiously the Camel and Hyena seem to be fairy contented bedfellows... might find itself losing it's footing in a high wind though... back to AT-AT's again! Salamander it is then...did you chose that because Attenborough did it for his last podcast...?
Well, more Monkey. I really shouldn't have found this brilliant topic as torturous as it has been. I think it's a fairly common phenomenon. Given a job/topic that you'd love to do and do well - there is a tendency for the creativity to freeze up on you. A psychological road-block that gets in the way of you and the destination you'd hoped to arrive at. I think you need to keep going though - being a professional dictates that you can't just give up entirely. By taking a couple of detours, you might not end up where you thought you'd like to go, but the journey will have been interesting and you might end up somewhere just as good.
And with that word "journey" in mind. Sun Wukong is the traditional name for the character "Monkey" from 'Journey to the West', an old Chinese legend. Popularized in the 70s by the classic TV show "Monkey Magic" and then again in recent years by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's stage adaptation.
I'm fairly happy with the treatment and approach to this, albeit a reasonably straight copy of the TV show's. My inked sketch, quickly coloured in photoshop would serve as a character design for a more dynamic martial art style action pose, but time has run out on me, so this will be my submission for DrawerGeeks this time round.

We all have projects like that sir! The perfect brief may well open up a whole can of insecurity worms. For what it's worth this is a crackin' Monkey study, a sketch work in progress but none the less skilful or stimulating for it! (needs a 'cloudmobile' at some future date :)
Anonymous said, on 7/28/2009 5:22:00 PM
A fine, funky, furry fellow indeed! I like the prospect (one that Darwin overlooked) in that we are not only evolving from monkeys but back to monkeys! Perhaps just like your noble example - well done indeed! Horsefair Humpledonk
Great stuff - I love Monkey and that really evokes the character.
You might want to have a look at Monkey Subdues the White Bone Demon (a comic adaptation of one chapter of the Journey to the West). I've got the book but it is free online from places like the Internet Archive. Fascinating art and a very different style from one we are used to in the West.
I'm supposed to be packing the house up for our upcoming move...
...but I found 25 minutes to take part. I'd normally have loved to get all involved doing a lovely fantasy dragon. I nearly drew Bruce Lee, but in the end humour won out, and you have the submission above.

The 2000ad web forum has a topic going at the moment - a quick challenge to sketch Judge Dredd's head in under 15minutes... the idea being to see which classic Dredd artist you think you're trying to emulate.
I don't know who I'd say I was trying to emulate with my Dredd but my favourite Dredd artists as a kid were always Brian Bolland, Steve Dillon, Mike McMahon, Carlos Ezquerra and Ian Gibson.

I'm doing some illustrations for Cambridge University Press in Madrid. The illustration below is one a of a group going into a book called Tasty Tales which is part of the discovery readers range aimed at teenagers who are learning English.
I thought it would be interesting if I showed something of my process for an illustration like this. It all started with a nice, fairly specific artwork brief and a proof of the text layout for each of the illustrations. I went back with a couple of rough pencil sketches to show different approaches for the illustration.
The design team and the author decided which option they would like to progress with and I produced a tighter pencil at 150% of the final dimensions.
After comments on the tightened pencil - I blocked in the rough colours I intended on using and started getting the forms defined... I tried to iron out anything that seemed obviously wrong at this point - and I also made the minor adjustments that had been asked for.
When I was happy I'd got the basics roughed in - I turned the whole document into blue-scale and printed it out.
I then did a quick bit of pencilling over the top of the blue - lightly picked out the things I did't want to miss or that I thought still needed a bit of defining - then I inked the sucker in.
I scanned my inks back in and used the channel mixer to remove ALL the blue - this left me with some inked lines that I could then re-composite with the original coloured version... I tidied up any stray bits and mucked around with some effects until I was happy!
Then I just cropped it down to the correct dimensions.
I hope that was interesting for the lovely people who follow my blog - and not just me wittering on about my bonkers approach to making pictures.

Fascinating insight into your work practice sir. Always interesting to see the nuts and bolts of how others go about things. That's a surprising but really lovely and effective colour combination on the final image of the salmon table cloth v's violet/purple background . Great work...great blog fodder sir! Will you be posting the rest sometime...? Look forward to seeing them, and any other tit bits from your plate as it were...

The current DrawerGeeks topic is Jack and The Beanstalk:
Didn't have much time for this again... I was going for a "not much more than a hill of beans" and a "credit crunch" - bad deal thing... In the end I went for this cheap Deal or No Deal gag. You win some, you lose some... I think I lost this one!
Chin up sir... after all the magic beans led old Jack to fame and fortune. I think your direction is much more interesting than showing beanstalk avec giant again. Take the beans!!! Nicely rendered by the way... instant recognition of an iconic scene.
NOW this makes sense...couldn't put two and two together apparently...I had IF not DG on the brain...Great modeling on the hand...what really pushes this over is you paid attention to the thickness of the fingernails...GREAT detail to include...
I like this just the way it is! The slightly skeletal hand (at the little finger and edge off this...) works really well for me as does the loose treatment of the chin / bottom lip. I'd try to keep that looseness if you go to a final piece. Great that you've cropped tight too!

that hand is sooo creepy, something about the bony knuckles and tendons ... i love the rather androgynous look too. x
You're BASHING out some corking stuff too Kev !!! The tone is excellent and the limited palette is superb (few colours is really the way to go don't you find...?!). This IS your best Dredd yet! A fine art print for certain. Lovely stuff! (now moderate my comment please...)
phil said, on 1/14/2009 9:11:00 AM
Hi Kev, the simplicity of this Dredd is it's strength I think. The limited palette really works.
I know you're busy with moving and 2000AD art, but any chance of you bashing out a few monsters/creatures for the blog. I've been messing around on the trial SPORE Creature Creator and it reminded me that you always were the King of Creatures.
phil said, on 1/14/2009 9:15:00 AM
I've had a second look at your new Dredd, and I love even more than I thought I did when I first looked at it. The old-school quality is supurb.
Oooh zip tone is nice. Its so much easier on a computer today but I used to love fiddling about with a scalpel and the old sticky sheets. I'm becoming quite fond of your Dredd, I do like the roundness of your Judge's helmet (no matter how I write that it sounds rude) and I know I've ssaid this before but reminds me of Ron Smith's Dredd helmet. I don't know why more people don't use the scowl under the respirator it works really well.
Is the arm a tad too short possibly...? Might it also be less 'stiff' to have the sleeve cuff fall back down her arm so you can see a graceful wrist/forearm (weird witch veins...?). Allied to this last maybe have the hand pose more 'spider like' with all fingers lower (possibly just the index extended...?) so that the line of the forearm peaks at the wrist then drops down along the hand...? For me I'd have stronger shadow behind her to emphasize the light source of her hocus pokery :) Very nice bold concept and she has a great spooky/sexy balance in her features.

i can't help but think of elvira. i've just found out who she is recently when my sis, pooh, was accused of being her.. she's not impressed but i thought it was hilarious.
The current topic over at DrawerGeeks is James Bond 007, obviously in honour of The Quantum of Solace release last week...
I've seen it and it's a thumpin' good 'un - it's getting some duff reviews, but I think that's as a reaction to the fact that expectations after Casino Royale were extremely high - I think we need to remember how much better than some of the other Bond movies this new one is... go and see it, it's great!
The main thing I've missed in the Daniel Craig films is the delightful MI5 secretary and her flirty quips... even though she is daft enough to fantasize about James, I've always liked her character, especially Samantha Bond's more sassy incarnation.
This was a very quick pencil sketch that I threw some colour on in photoshop - it's a bit rough but I didn't want to get side tracked from the Dredd script too much more.
If you're wondering about this post's title, it's an Alan Partridge quote - Steve Coogan at his best...

I think it was Samanthas "cunning linguist" line that endeared her to many :) Nice way to take the standard Bond subject... you could also have shown Alan Partridge as Bond... in a polo neck and canvas shoes. STOP GETTING BOND WRONG ;)

I've been lucky enough to be inducted into the DrawerGeeks illustration fraternity. My good blogging pal Doug Bell has introduced me and I am chuffed to be involved. The rough idea is a fortnightly topic based on fictional characters. The current topic is GIANT MONSTERS and this morning I decided it might be a good way to get myself back into the swing of things.
I wanted to do a rework for Attack of the 50ft Woman but somehow it didn't quite work out like that. I started sketching but couldn't help thinking about the bit in Watchmen when Dr. Manhattan is 50 ft tall blasting things to bits with his fingers in Vietnam. (issue 4 pg 20 for ref)
This was my natural progression of those two thoughts...
WATCHMEN II: THE BRIDE OF MANHATTAN
I love the whole 'B' movie spoof stuff and the word Bride seemed to carry the right sort of connotations with it for this.
Watchmen is a one-off complete story and it struck me that the (giant monster) money-making-machine that is Hollywood could plough headlong into franchise mentality if the upcoming film is a success. I think this might be Alan Moore's worst fear and part of the reason I added the 'Wizard of Northampton' desperately running away from the horror of it all.

Qualia is right, there is a somewhat Victorian / Marxist air to the 'wiz of Northhampton'. Nice subtext about Alan Moore's hasty retreat. She sure is one great lady...shows there's someone out there for everybody, no matter who they are...quite touching, snif :)
The retro feel is perfect Kev...spot on! This really adds value to your 'main feature'. I think the limited palette is particularly effective. Was there a range of Taormina plup paperbacks published way back in the 30's??? Hope so!
looking good...obviously i don't know the story so this may be of no help but at the moment you're using up a lot of 'real estate' with your large black boxes. page 5 looks great with the box integrated so maybe it is worth making them a little smaller or integrating them more. On the other hand, it may also look great once inked and coloured, I have no idea. anyway, looking forward to seeing it done... x
How the hell does this qualify as "sail"??? that's what you're asking...
These were some storyboards I did recently as a tryout for a media company... I reworked thumbnails from a storyboard for an advert that didn't get made. I had to keep quiet about these for a month or so but I think it's ok to show them now.
The idea was that this was the battle of Waterloo (or a pastiche of that battle) and the two generals/leaders rode out and had a bit of a verbal slanging match - much to their men's entertainment. Obviously the side that won was fuelled by some form of dutch courage (the beer that was trying to be marketed) or maybe that was simply the incentive or the spoils of victory...
Put simply, the generals assailed each other... or perhaps the Duke of Wellington ("There's only one way to win a war, Shout, Shout and SHOUT AGAIN!MEEAHH!" [Blackadder the Third]) assailed himself on Napoleon... Yeah, tenuous, I know.
The b&w panels took about 8hrs in total, hence why some of them a pretty rough, the final (larger) panel is a tidied up version of the soldiers done to show a more 'glossy' option for the ad company to sell their concept to the client and probably took another three of four to complete.

MEEAHH Excellent storyboard Kevadder! Y'know I like these Kev, you've really got the storyboard touch. Whether or not that agency knows they are on to a good thing or not this is excellent practice for your comic book sequences! Good work adding the Blackadder link, I'll have to watch some of the Blackadder unseen goodies to be found on youtube!
Some lovely line & rendering as always in the Taormina latest & a fantastic new colour banner for the blog, the artwork really works well in that muted earth tones palette... is this a hint of some colour work with Taormina (plulp cover perchance...?).
PS. I deleted then reattached this comment in case you're wondering, my shoddy typing needed correcting so this would make sense!
Been a long time since I put a Taormina episode out there (again)...
This is the very rough digital sketch for the first picture panel in episode 'four' and it's going to need a lot more work!
I don't want to give too much away here but this is the exposition episode where Taormina will learn about her quest. This old geezer is provisionally called Mundy Slung and he's a classic hermit/wizard (old Obi-Wan) type of character who knows more than he's letting on!
I'm going to try to get this next episode out before I do any more on my 2000AD/Judge Dredd strip and unless some other work comes in (which I'm not holding my breath for...) then this episode should be up early next week!
