Another Strip WIP

This is something else dredged up from the recent past, another strip without a spoken word featuring 3 or 4 recurring characters.



Probably difficult to see in this posted image. Each frame is drawn separately in an A4 sketchbook inked using Indian ink and was then scanned. Its a WIP so is rough and ready, scratchy and the lack of contrast means that you cannot pick out much detail. I plan to retell the story of one boys adventures with superheroes and the mystical, using new layouts. It will still be black and white and may end up as a series of canvas'.

Newish Month, New-Ish Post

For my first post this month I think I will add something that I have rediscovered.





'Animal Fighting Carnival'-Title Page.


A4 paper pencil and Eddings and Faber Ink pens.


A short lived strip about bizzare animals...fighting.



Why I thought I could pen and illustrate a strip about fighting animals is now lost on me although it does rear its ugly head very often. particularly when new age types reference animal groups, pods and families when trying to make us all live in harmony, hey, I've seen what Chimps, and Meerkats get up to, vicious little swine that they all are.


Anyway, no text or speaking in this strip since no animals I have seen, speak. The action is fairly self explanitory. maybe I will get round to doing some more, more refined or rough round the edges? Im no primadonna, I cant draw, so it will be rough!
