The Big Sleep: Carmen Sternwood

Carmen Sternwood, the trouble maker more so of the two Sternwood daughter. The most promiscuous and also by far the most dangerous of the two daughters. She has a very annoying habit of looking coy and playing with her hair and sucking her thumb, with her playful nature leads her to being used via drugs that spins off the blackmail case.

Better reproduction

Had some trouble trying to download the scans i did for these drawings from my email and so resorted to photos but now a certain kitty has helped me out so now i have better copies of the drawings yay.

The Big Sleep: Philip Marlowe

And now as promised here is the first image of a series of 8 images, that compile a series of character portraits from Raymond Chandler's classic hard boiled detective, crime novel 'The Big Sleep'.
First character up is of course the main protagonist, the wise-cracking, cynical, tough guy but ultimately decent guy, detective Philip Marlowe. His characteristics would provide the template for later urban crime fiction.
And I find that he himself is a tarnished knight in some way in that the work he does is dirty yet still maintains his own moral code, which was characteristic in Chandler's writing that I think makes his character a success in literature.

The Trio

Been meaning to put this up for awhile. This watercolour painting depicts the scene at the end of 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' with the final showdown at the cemetery, which in all is probably the best filmic example of an intense western showdown.

The Centre Stage

Well the past couple of days, I have been scrambling the ol' lego boxes to create a custom spaceship for a comic idea i had in mind and to use this model as a reference for external shots, and also to map out character locations and see roughly where things are on the ship.

The Big Sleep

So the next series of images I'm planning on producing next week are five or six character portraits from Raymond Chandler's novel 'The Big Sleep', the first novel that introduces Chandler's iconic hard boiled detective Philip Marlowe, to whom most detective characters aspire to be as.
Being the current book that has been captivating me, and being surrounded with such charismatic characters that I feel like doing my own visual depictions of them.

Their dalek bumps....

And here is the last Dr Who image for my current series, with the Master. I was wondering what humorous take I would have on him and then I remembered that comic relief sketch years ago which was absolutely funny. So I decided to use that for this final image.
