For the upcoming anniversary date commemorating the Titanic disaster now 100 years ago. I tried making it look like a screen print which I feel has been successful and really enjoyed making a poster that evokes the style and energy of the art deco period.

In continued tribute to the late artist Ralph McQuarrie here is another rendition of his character drawings. This is based upon the Luke Skywalker image that featured in the same image that I based my Vader image from.

Tribute to the master...
Concept artist Ralph McQuarrie was the artistic force behind the look of the Star Wars universe who past away sadly on March 3rd.
So though it is late I am putting up my tribute to this great artist who shaped the world that I and many more have to come to appreciate. He is a great loss to this world but his works shall forever be greatly admired.

On the street.
New sketch of Thunder, though it was done on the trip to Exeter comic con. Again experimenting with markers again and the dried out fade you get from a dying pen makes for some good tonal effects, so perhaps something to consider in future images.

Harbinger
Hey folks it's been awhile since I had something up, but you are in for a treat.
Last weekend I did a 24 hour comic challenge, where you have to do a 24 page comic in 24 hours.
The story follows the journey of a warhead that misses it;s target and due to Sir Isaac Newton's law it just keeps on going till it hits something.
Hope you all enjoy reading this and tell me what you think.

Bane
On my way to the Exeter comic expo, I did a sketch of Bane from the upcoming film Dark Knight Rises, inspired from a piece of the latest trailer.
Exeter Comic Expo 2012
Hey people, realised it has been awhile since I last posted something up, but I have been busy with a few projects on the go.Anyways last Sunday, I went up to Exeter with a couple of friends to go visit the Exeter Comic Expo. Now I have never been to an event like comic con before, so I was not sure what I would expect and what there was to do and so forth. However I found the experience to be enjoyable and was nice to see something that I hope one day I will be a part of, though the highlight for me was to meet the artist Jock aka Mark Simpson, who I had a wonderful chat with about the comic world and the rigours of getting a place in the industry.
He was also kind enough to critique my 'Jack and Jill' comic too, and then finished it all off with a nice Joker sketch.
Made my day.
