Watched Avengers Assemble for a bit last night. Later I did a quick Captain America sketch. Total Coincidence!
Kind of made up the costume a bit as I went along. Then couldn’t resist inking it in Flash, and then slapping some colour on it before bed.
Finished it off this morning.
Another free Deviantart sketch; TheThirdRLM suggested that I draw a ‘lady superhero’ of my own choice, so I chose She-Hulk. Note the massive artist’s signature!
I offered free sketches on DeviantART again, and so far the only person to take me up on this offer was Neamid - who asked for a sketch of their OC, Vivian
The other day (last week?) marked Superman’s 75th year since his first appearance. I only found out on the day so I rushed to produce this kind of celebratory pic thing (I imagine he’s checking his birthday messages on his Superphone).
Yes I did it on the day no I don’t know why I’m only now posting it here. Leave me alone I’ve been ill.
HEY ALL Y’ALL
Ok so way back in the mists of time I was at university studying animation, and my third year film never got further than a collection of pencil tests and animatic shots.
So, for the lack of anything better to animate (and to stop myself getting too rusty), I thought it would be super neato to take said pencil tests and clean up and colourify them using Flash, and thus complete my film.
Simple plan: bring every scene, as an .avi, into Flash and just clean up on top of it. Except that a bunch of these scenes have apparently gotten lost. And some of them were so bad I had to do them again.
Ah well. I’m plugging ahead anyway, using my “stylistic choice” of rough, scratchy cleanup and sticking textures on Every Goddamn Thing. I’ve finished like 11 scenes so far, and even uploaded a few of them to The Internet. Which you can see here. If you’d like. Just there, below this text.
Every now and then I go on DeviantART and offer free sketches to people. However, I have a terrible habit of forgetting to draw these sketches for a very long time...
Thus, here a few sketches that I promised people as far back as 2008. I’ve only just done them!
One person requested a drawing of Sean and Gus from Psych
Someone else asked for Static from Static Shock
This person just wanted “a chick in a gas mask”...
All Flash type vectors for this one. And here are the sketches that preceded it:
Couldn’t think what to do for the ‘zombie’ bit of the monster girl challenge so I had a bit of a doodle...
And that’s it! My ten Mo Portraits, done. I hope you enjoyed seeing them. Come to that, I hope the people who donated money to get them enjoy them too!
This one seemed the easiest to complete because the guy sent me such mental pictures XD
Another double one. They sent me a photograph of a photograph, in a frame, with some of the heads cut off. So I got creative!
Got these requests like one straight after the other!
Remember! Donate money to charity! Get a portrait! By me or one of like a hundred other artists! Go here!
A doubler this time! The requester paid double the minimum amount so I guess that’s ok ^_^
Hey, remember I posted about that ebook what I designed a cover for?
I think it’s time to post some of the illustrations I created to accompany the text!
You can see these inside the book, should you choose to buy the book 
Here’s the eponymous Santa Clown, the festive japester who is brother to Kris Kringle himself.
Here are another two characters - the pompous Campion “the Champion”, Santa’s right hand man; and the big man himself!
My Gallery of Mo page now has the option to donate a fixed amount (minimum £5) in order to acquire a portrait. So far I’ve done one portrait!
Yes, I’m joining in with Movember. Yes, I am growing a feeble moustache.
But I am also getting on board with Gallery of Mo.
Go and donate some money to charity on my behalf, and I will draw a picture of you. With a moustache. £1 = 1 minute spent drawing. £10 = 10 minutes. Etcetera.
GO DO IT NOW MY FRIENDS
This is the cover I created for an ebook by A.M Sardar (author of Colin Thorson: Teenage Superhero); I also created a number of character illustrations to accompany the text, which I will post at a later date.
You can buy the book from Amazon, and eventually will be available on iTunes. To see more books by A.M. Sardar, click here.
In the meantime, here is the synopsis:
“A festive tale of the forgotten Santa
Once there were two boys, Kris and Karl Kringle, who belonged to the ancient family of Santas; but only one could be Santa.
The Santa Clown delivered his gifts with a joke and a laugh until one Christmas Eve he disappeared into the night and was replaced by his brother Santa Claus. Santa Clown was forgotten, lost in the mists of old Christmas's.
Now there is trouble in Santa's Workshop! Saboteurs are wrecking the production lines and demanding the return of the Forgotten One; "Shoot Santa Claus down, Bring back the Santa Clown".
Mr Drole, the long suffering Head Troll, is trying desperately to meet the Christmas Eve deadline whilst hunting the trouble-makers and sorting out his messed up love life; can the gifts be delivered as usual or is this the Christmas when it all falls part? Whatever happens, Christmas will never be the same again.
A searing Christian-Marxist fantasy analyzing rampant Christmas commercialism, a critique of unsustainable models of growth and delivery and a warning against intra-species relations or just a very silly story about Elves?
The Greatest Gift is a Child's Smile.”
NB. If anyone is interested, this whole thing was created in Flash CS6
Took a while to get this one done because I’ve been focussing on getting stuff done for an ebook release. But here she is! Flash CS6, from a Photoshop sketch, from a pencil sketch....
See, she’s got a big arse, because female spiders have got big arses! Right? Sometimes?
I dunno man, I’m not an expert on arachnid biology.
Falling waaayyy behind with these now. Partly because I spent ages on this one, and partly because I AM A BUSY BUSY MAN!
Here’s my hypothesis on how mermaids actually work.
