Wedding Invitation design

Well, what do you do if you don't fancy a run of the mill invitation template?

You design them!!!


I had a load of fun working on those. I pretty much had as much room as I wanted in terms of the design and the content.

On the left is the actual invite front design and on the right, well, the "Thank You" card front design.

I hope you enjoy it.

New face....

It's been a while...
Loads of things have happened...
Game of Throne is Back, Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix was awesome.
Time to get back to the blog with a new look. Hopefully it will be easier to read.

I hope you enjoy it.

I have really enjoyed the Daredevil Series so here is some fan art I am currently working on. The Kingpin and Daredevil. It's early in the process and I am not sure if I am happy with the layout yet.

Let me know your thoughts.

Inktober Day 8

 Day 8 - Once again got carried away with the colour.

I have been watching the new season of Sons Of Anarchy. This is inspired by the great Juan Carlos "Juice" Ortiz.

Inktober Day 4

 Day 4 - In the spirit of "brushing up" on my brush work I decided to dig out my "The art of Comic Book Inking" which had been left alone, untested for a long time. That was a good way to practice and learn a few things.

The pencils are by Randy Green.

I will upload a clean scan at a later date.

Daily Challenge: Ink

I am still catching up!!!


Here is the entry for last Tuesday's #dailydoodlers


The theme was “Ink”. 

I decided to post a study I am working for a tattoo... 

It’s not quite NY Ink, Ink Master or even my favourite tattoo artist Tim Hendricks (‏@Saltwatertattoo) but here is a Koi Carp I have been working on.

Daily Challenge: Pencil

I am catching up!!!


Here is the entry for Monday's #dailydoodlers


The theme was “Pencil”. 

For me "Pencil" evokes Marvel, DC, Romita, Lee, Quesada, Miller. Every hour spent studying their work. There is still a long way to go... 

So for this challenge, I chose to do a version of my favourite X-men character, Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin

 It's rushed and all wonky but I like the pose and since today's #dailydoodlers  theme is "Ink" I will try to Ink this and correct it hoping to do justice to all my childhood heroes.

Daily Challenge: Irish

I am catching up!!!


Here is the entry for Friday's #dailydoodlers


The theme was “Irish”. 

Somehow, the image this theme conjured up was Lucky Charms' Leprechaun. So I went with it.

   

I did not ink this one as I intend to ink it in Illustrator. Once again, update to follow.

Daily Challenge: Puss In Boots

I am still trying to catch up but I am getting there.


Here is the entry for Thursday's #dailydoodlers


The theme was “Fairy Tales”. 

I thought it would be nice to revisit some of my childhood memories and Charles Perrault's Puss in Boots was one of my favourite. Looking for reference I found this Puss in Boots cake this lady did and I loved the shape of it.

So here he is, the life of opulence at the king's court has been good to Puss in Boots.

   

I will try to colour this one as well. I shall post an update soon.

Daily Challenge: The last book I read

Sometimes technology is a bitch!!! 

I lost my hard drive last week and spend the vast majority of my week a) recovering data and resetting my PC and b) getting behind on my daily challenge.

Luckily, I think good things came out of that very frustrating experience. 

Please excuse the long diatribe. 

Here is my next installment for @danidraws Daily Challenge. 

Today's theme is "The last book I read".

I feel slightly ashamed to say that the last book I read was "The walking Dead Compedium 1" but then again it's a great book. I wish I had picked up on it before I actually discovered the show, the book is absolutely amazing. So today a little bit of fan-art and I give you Bicycle Girl

Ink and Pencil on Paper

and a close-up as well.

Daily Challenge: Korra

Here is the entry for yesterday’s #dailydoodlers


The theme was “Korra”. Like a lot of people taking part, I had not heard of Korra (The Legend of Korra)

She seems bad-ass enough for me. I have to admit I had to look up reference images.

But here she is...

   

I will try to colour this one as I really like the pose. I shall post an update soon.

Daily Challenge: Hand

Here is the entry for yesterday’s #dailydoodlers

A few computer issues at home meant that I could not post it on time. So it’s late but it’s here.
The theme was “Hand”. 

The image conveys what I wanted to do but the execution is not up to scratch for my liking. I should have a little bit more time for the next ones anyway when I don’t have to do battle with a stubborn machine.
