'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-
