Another quick update....

Not much to say that isn't in the image!!!...got some ideas for him...REVENGE! ROMANCE! REDEMPTION...and other R's...

Another Update!!

Yes, I know...I can't believe it's been so long. I have been busy, honest...!

Anyway, still can't show any of the game stuff I've been doing (BOO!!) but should be able to soon. In the meantime, here's some sketches and ideas for stuff I've been working on:

First up, some stuff for the comic I've been working off/on with for a while now...redesigned the main character, tried to make him more 'iconic' as well as some ideas for panels/covers...should be getting back to that in the next couple of weeks!






next up, some bits for a CD cover I've been working on for a band called The Baketones. I was lucky enough to get asked to do the art for their debut album, which was cool in itself, but the idea they had was awesome to work on as well!!! I got to draw COWBOYS!!!




Another couple of sketches..one for an idea for 'another' comic story and the other a little hint at what I would *love* to work on....




This last one, a very quick lunchtime sketch...pen/brush/ink on tracing paper, then 'blacked' in photoshop...Love Judge Dredd...love to do a story at some point!!


That's it for now...hope you've had fun...I did!!

Finally! An update!!!

Hey there! Sorry for the long absence...been really hectic, what with being made redundant, doing a little freelance, and having interviews all over the country!!! Finally got myself sorted, and managed to snag some freelance work along the way...DOING ACTUAL COMICS!!!!! Which is truly cool, hard work, but truly cool...I'll post more on that in the future...

Anyway, here's a little of the stuff I've been doodling with lately...
(there's alot of stuff I can't show, NDS's and all...which is a shame!!!!)







These last 2 are for a mini idea my writing partner and I had featuring Wolverine, Punisher and Nick Fury ( the old version though!)...just more of a test for me with storytelling and inking style...more on that in another post as well...

Also: Anyone going to the http://www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/ Next weekend? there's some good artist there doing some demos/talsk...I'm heading down, see if I can get any sketches!!!

Thanks for stopping by,
Laters.

Mini Update!

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been working on roughing out the first issue ofURBN...whilst doing that, I was approached by another Comic Publisher to try out for one of their books, as they thought I'd be a good fit for it! This was awesome news, as you well know, and can tell, I'd LOVE to work in the comics field! Anyway, to cut along story short, the past few weeks, I've been working on some roughs/character designs for that, and pouring my heart into it! As soon as I find out either way, I'll let you know!!! (keep everything crossed!!!)

Anyway...(as I can't show any of that work...) I recently got sent a 'storyboard' Moleskin, by Mike, my good friend, and writing buddy...and have been doodling in that! Here's a page from it:


The book itself is only small, about 3"by5", so it's great for getting little ideas down...one of which I liked :


So I cut the doodle out, and started sketching over it in PS.... The original sketch is only 0.5" by 1.5"!!


That's it so far..I'm going to print it out and draw it up...I'll post it as soon as I've done it!

Later,
-Mack.

Another update...

Just a quickie for today...had a go inking with a brush! Really loved it, obviously I need to practice more with it, but as a first attempt ( in a LOOOOONNNGGG while) I don't think it turned out too bad!

Let me know what you think!

another progress shot....

Just a quick update to the image, as I have been working on some other stuff as well...I'll post that soon enough as well!



Anyway, this is just a little bit of progression on the body of the Thief, so here it is...I'm quite liking the colour palette on the body!

Cheers,
-Mack.

Update pt 3.....

Just a quick process shot really...testing out a more painterly look...hopefully it works!

Really enjoying painting at the moment. Finally, after a long while I'm starting to feel actual enjoyment, when I paint, and liking the results! About time!


Anyway....Better get back to it!
-Mack.
