Inktober - Thirty-one 70's Bassists

My first Inktober challenge featured portraits of bassists from the 1970’s which I'm planning to collect them in a zine later this year. Here's a taster for now.

My Doctor is... The Thirteenth Doctor

Looking forward to seeing Jodie Whittaker as The Thirteenth Doctor.

Very happy to tell you that this portrait ended up being awarded a commendation in the 
Down the Tubes 13th Doctor Art Challenge.

My Doctor is...

One Doctor, twelve incarnations but which Doctor is your Doctor?

Valentine Special

Posted over at Kirby-Vison on Valentine's Day here's an imaginary cover for The Fantastic Four Valentine Special which draws inspiration from Kirby’s early romance comics.

On Valentine's with Love

New illustrations to you from me on Valentines Day x.

Have a villainous Valentine with General Zod & Ursa

Love is... never needing a 'safe word'. 

Wishing you a vicious Valentine from Generals Klytus & Kala.

Hope that you have a vile Valentine (gag), Raymond & Connie Marble.

Kirby 99th Portrait

A little late in posting but here's my contribution to this years' Birthday portrait gallery over at Kirby-Vision.

Instagram Round-up

Here's a round-up of sketchbook work recently posted over at Instagram.

Minnesota Mugshots - Character design

Extra curricular activities kept me away from the drawing board last month. Finally caught up with some character designs based on the mugshots featured in the last post. First up is a rather scrappy line-up created in the iPad app Sketchpad.

Next we have a cleaner version created in Inkpad, with an expanded line-up.

I prefer the character design in this version but the vector drawing process was torturously slow. I shall probably revert to pencil, paper and ink if I'm to use these guys in the future.

Of interest below is the reference layer used for the vector piece.

Minnesota Mugshots

Last week, intrigued by this photo gallery, I took a break from 'Random Panels' and set about digitally tracing a selection of miscreants. Most of these were completed on my daily commute and it was more an exercise in mindfulness then creativity. This won't be the last you see of theses guys as I've already made plans to feature some of these characters in my next project.
