I went bowling with mates on Saturday night.
This didn't quite happen but I did drop a 14lb ball on the backswing.

randoMonday - 14-07-08

This is the first in a new weekly series randoMonday which is basically whatever random little comic I come up with, sometimes it'll be a strip like today other times just a piece of "art".

A note on today's strip, it was my first disastrous attempt at inking (kind of) and I guarantee I will not be doing it again for a while, I'll stick to my multiple pencil/pacer technique for the time being.
Also I did the thing in about 10 minutes as a quick joke so don't fucking criticize.

Important Announcement

Which is to say I'm off down the coast with the family for a few days but I'll try to get some work done while I'm there.

Preview Art - The Supateam

Supadude and Supagurl

As part of what I'm calling "Operation Don't Get Sued" I've begun the creation of various comic characters for use in the Sh!t Happens universe.
Since I intend to start publishing the comic soon and comics are a decent presence in the story (two people work in a comic store and another is a comic fan) I feel it is important to create my own Superheroes.

Chapter Four - Rivals and Robots

The End of Chapter Four

This little piece is my tribute to classic robot anime including a subtle reference to Mospeada.

Chapter Four - Rivals and Robots - Friday the 13th Bonus Art

New Logo - A Work In Progress

Well as the title may suggest I'm working on a new Logo for the comic.
This piece needs to be totally redrawn before it becomes official but I coloured a print-out anyway to test out my new little toy, a "water pen", basically it's a hollow plastic pen with a brush on the end to be used on the run.

Any comments are appreciated.

Max with Hammer and Gun
Done in HB & 4H shading.
No computer touch up

I usually do my artwork with 2H or 3H 0.5 pacer leads but since I'm almost out of them (probably enough for one or two comics left) I decided to try drawing with a mixture of 0.7 HB leads and 4H pencil which I usually use for shading.
Needless to say I must get to the store for more leads.
