Last post for the year

Very best holiday and New Years wishes to one and all!

I have greatly enjoyed visiting with my folks out east and since it has been regularly around -10 degrees C, I have stayed indoors; diligently working on my comic and eating sweets. I am nearing the finish line with only two and a half pages to go. (My hand hurts). I am really ready to get this project out the door. Its been seven months since I began it and I'm keen to start on something new. (Probably another Batman comic. He's just so much fun to draw!)

More Christmas Cards

Here's some more cards I did for my family.

Christmas Card

I promised my friend Watson I'd draw him a Christmas card, and this is the fruit of that effort. (Although, now I realise I'll have to draw belated X-Mas cards for some other friends as well.)

Storyboard is over!

And now, back to the Bat comic! Will definitely be finished by mid-January. :D

And this is the last of my Walking Dead stress-related doodles.

Crazy will be over soon...

I have five or six more days of boarding full time before hols. Then I'll be getting straight back into the Batman fan comic. Until then: Walking Dead doodles! (Because in my world, and until February, Sofia is still alive and was found by Daryl. :P

This year has been very busy, but satisfying creatively and professionally. I believe it's all thanks to the people that come by the blog, leave the comments , and send the emails that have encouraged me over the years . There are some very Exciting things coming up in 2012 , and I can't wait to them share them with you here on this blog.

So :"Welcome Christmas bring your cheer..." "...Cheer to all Whos far and near, Christmas Day is in our grasp, So long as we have hands to clasp. ..."

happy holidays everyone,

Two weeks...

...in storyboarding hell are over! Finally, some time to draw my favourite characters.

Work on the Batman/Jim comic (as yet untitled) has been put on hold. I'll do a bit tonight, but the rest might have to wait until the hols. I'll definitely have it finished and posted by the end of January - I'll have 3-4 weeks off until the new show starts.

Daryl Dixon is my favourite character on TWD.

More photo reference...

I get lazy in the evenings and this photo was perfect. The crappy dramatic lighting is all me, though.

Sisko vs. Picard 7

Thank you stock photos...

...this was fun, but I think it also makes it painfully obvious why I won't be colouring my comic.

post-it...

Another slow morning...

...followed by reading the dullest script ever. But, Mr. Freeze!

I spent at least two hours...

...messing around with this one and I'm STILL not happy with it. I should've worked on the comic instead. But who cares - Florence and the Machine's new album is awesome!

I love when work is slow...

...gives me time to really get into a new Batman drawing. I also did a wee bit of work on the comic.

happy halloween!

happy candy fest y'all!

Sisko vs. Picard 6

Been a while since I posted anything. Sisko vs. Picard has been done for a couple months now, albeit in printed form only, thus far. Here's one you probably haven't seen, unless you have the comic. Happy Halloween.

Sample of page 6.

Just needs to be painted! Well. And I still have six more pages to ink...
