Work Work Work #1

Like most of us I've done loads of different jobs over the years. 

Here's some work based drawings...
 

This is the corner of workshop in one of the printers I worked at, found in a sketch book. I have no memory of drawing it, must have been in a quiet moment when the boss wasn't looking. 


I think we've all been this guy at some point. It's fifteen minutes before the end of your shift and you're starting to wind down, when your boss give you a new job to do before you go home. They say that it'll be fine it'll only take ten minutes, but they've never done the job before and you know, because you have, that it'll take an hour minimum. The boss dismisses your concern without offering a solution and heads off home leaving you to it, expecting it done in the morning. Your colleagues are all heading off too now and you don't want to ruin their evening. You need the job to pay your bills...
I did have an idea for a quest story that would begin like that. Our central character is left alone in a warehouse, but it's like an infinite warehouse like the one at the end of Indiana Jones. The deeper into it he goes into it the more outlandish and ridiculous it becomes. He would come across the skeleton of a co-worker who disappeared  twenty years ago and end up with him fighting off dragons and dinosaurs on snow capped warehouse racking! I dunno... bit sort of like a Narnia warehouse... What do you think? Is it a fun idea for a story? let us know in the comments below.

Building Blocks

Here's some old architectural studies from the late 90s, mostly around the Southbank Centre in London. I used inks and washes in an attempt to create a graphic mood and atmosphere and I'm sure a lot of this stuff fed into the concrete towers of Fred Fortune's world. Most were sketched at the locations then redrawn later.






 


CGUK corner-

The Old And The New

 

 Here's an old Fred strip from 1991, it's the first appearance of Fred's enemy and obvious Judge Dredd wanna be, the insane cop Officer McDab. Although a lot of these early one pagers are pretty terrible I do have a soft spot for them. They all have a manic spontaneity about them which serves the cheesy humour quite well. This page has been fully restored and re-lettered digitally from an old A4 photocopy.


This next one is from late 1999 and was the cover of Mondo #44. Much like the Space Babe strip it was fully painted in acrylics with Indian ink line work on top. It was for the story Waste Not Want Not in  which Fred chases a falling beer can from the top to the bottom of the city which gets darker and more squalid the lower it goes. I was a few months out of art college
by then and the city now had it's own more distinct and industrial design.


Here's some newer stuff... No spoilers, a completely random pencilled page from the new story City of Tomorrow. When this is finished it will have grey tone and rain fx on all the external shots. The cityscapes are great fun to do but take ages because they are very dense and background heavy, this is to give the reader a sense of claustrophobia in the harsh decaying city. These pages are all done to fit US magazine sized pages to give it a bulkier feel.


This is The Panther.. one of the story's new characters... Who is she? What lies behind her mask?  Why does she want to get into Fetty's trousers? Find out... or not, in Fred Fortune- City of Tomorrow...

Here's a finished panel from page two.


CGUK corner-

Launching today at 6PM it's Charlie's London, an official graphic novel about the life of Charlie Chaplin. This one's gonna be big guys, back it when it goes live...

Space Babe Part Two- Painty Boobs!

Caution- This comic contains boobies, has an offensive sense of humour and is toxically masculine!!

'This better not be prawn!!'

Here's the original first four painted pages of last week's Space Babe strip. They are scanned as is and unaltered, except as I have an A4 scanner, each page was scanned in two halves and pasted together with a few tidy ups to eliminate blurs and line up the two halves. They were originally painted in acrylics on A3 Bristol board then finished with Indian ink line work on top with a bit of coloured pencil here and there. They were tucked away in an old portfolio case and this is the first time I've seen them in about ten years. I think they still look good, especially the all the blue tones in the space backgrounds. I think if I ever went back to the character I'd like to use the same technique.





The next piece was done as a cover image for the 2007 black and white version. It was drawn traditionally in Indian ink and coloured digitally. Unfortunately it was one of the artworks that fell victim to the hard drive disaster a couple of years ago and was lost along with loads of other stuff. This is a scan of a print of it that I found in the same portfolio as the original painted pages, hence the grainy texture. The colours of the original version are more natural than this one. It was used on one of the old Daily Doodles I used to do on the Mondo Facebook page, Doodle #245, I put the logo across her boobs so as not to attract unwanted cancellation, but you can still find it in the photo bit here- 


Fed up of Hollywood celebrities telling you what to think and how to live your lives when it's none of their business and they do the opposite? Sick and tired of being preached to by stupid people who they are better than you and that you owe them a living just because they are famous? If you're mad as hell and you're not gonna take it any more, cut the rich and famous down to size with these fetching T-shirts and other merch from the Funky Punk Teespring and Redbubble stores, links below.

Space Babe Part One- Soft Core Sci-Fi!!

Caution- This comic contains boobies, has an offensive sense of humour and is toxically masculine!!

This is a story from way back around the turn of the millennium. Initially it was to be a full colour painted strip of which I completed the first four pages in acrylics and Indian ink. If I recall the I was going to submit it to Heavy Metal and had planned an epic plot to save Trixie's home planet. It was also an excuse to draw lots of sexy sci-fi women and was quite spontaneously scripted and fun  to do. The four finished pages appeared in a later 2001 issue of Mondo as a first episode. I quite liked how the black and white photocopied pages showed the tones which later gave me the idea to do this 2007 version. At the time I wanted to get this story finished and was trying to get to grips with digital art so I used this to play around in Photoshop, though the line art was all done traditionally.


There you go. What did you think? Would you like to see more of the Space Babe?
