Wheels Of Fortune

Just some Fred Fortune stuff today.

Here's a couple of old ones-

Next up is a cover/poster/splash page for a 1995 team up strip I did with Steven Corps and his Phantom Bog Roller character published as a one shot/special issue by Steven that year.

Steven has a very British cartoony drawing style that's akin to the art in UK kids anthology Nutty (original home of Bananaman) back in the early 80s and did tons and tons of fun comedy small press comics back in the 90s. Here's one of his covers-

I don't think Steven does a lot of stuff these days, but you can find him on Twitter here-

This next one is from 2001. Pen and ink and lots of dry brushing- a precursor of my art style today?

Here's a bit of it!!

If you've got a spare few minutes please go have a look at the links below for early Fred comics and merch, thank you.

Next Time- Woolley Jumper #1

Stay safe everyone.

Digital Stuff & Nonsense

Here's a quick digital painting that I did to learn the technique. It was done in Clip Studio with watercolour brushes and took roughly four hours to do. It's the first time I've used those brushes and I'm quite pleased with it. It's a steep learning curve and I'm more used to working in colour traditionally.

Next is a completed panel from Fred Fortune- City of Tomorrow. As you can see it's very dense, this isn't to visually overwhelm the reader but to reflect the intense claustrophobic nature of the future city. I think it's really effective and I'm loving doing it. For the eagle eyed amongst you in the background you will find R2D2, the Tardis and a Dalek. This one is part of the establishing scenes in the first couple of pages. Each panel is taking hours and hours to do with multiple layers and textures, greys and rain. At the time of this writing I'm doing the tone work on page 4, so it'll be a while yet before it's ready to go. Let me know what you think. I'll be posting regular updates etc so watch this space...

Just enough time to remind you that the Teespring and Redbubble stores have lots of nice Funky Punk stuff for you to enjoy so if you've got a spare few minutes to have a look I would really appreciate it. Links down below. Thanks.

Next Time- More stuff and nonsense!

Stay safe everyone.

Redbubblicious!

How's everyone doing? Hope everyone is staying positive and making the most of being at home with your loved ones. I was thinking of posting all of my old Fred Fortune comic strips for free as a webcomic, maybe on Webtoons. Is that something you like to see? It's a sci-fi comedy that I started back in the early 1990s. More details on Fred and his world to follow next time... 

If you're a bit bored you could always have a browse of my new Redbubble shop where you will find lots of graphics on a wide variety of  great products (T-shirts, stickers, bags, mugs, clocks, etc). There's all sorts of stuff from loads of talented artists and new designs will be added to mine when they are ready including some merch for your old comic book pal Fred Fortune...
