My friend and incredible artist Adam coloured up my Blacksad piece from a few weeks ago. Some of you might have seen on it my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BennessysArt?ref=hl">facebook page</a> this past week ( cause I couldn't wait to post it up). Hope he feels like colouring more of stuff, cause well he just makes it look better! If you dig his work, go check out his <a href="http://www.adamkavanagh.blogspot.ie/">blog</a> it's class!<br />
<br />
<br />
I've been pretty busy this week. Just got a chance last night to knock out this pic for the blog. It's Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians. <br />

There's one or two people in it that I haven't drawn before and This guy, Cappy. Pretty swamped this week so I just inked up a sketch I drew of him during in the week, it started off as a lunch time doodle but I just kept ticking away at it. I'm always a bit, I dunno "surprised" isn't the right word but its all I got right now, to see Cappy with a gun and actually shooting people.<br />
<br />
Really looking forward to seeing winter soldier so this was a lot of fun to do. hope you all dig it.<br />

( or G'afternoon or G'night wherever you are)<br />
<br />
A few things this week, first off BLACKSAD! Blacksad is one of my favorite books so it's about time I actually posted a pic of it. If it's a book you're not aware of you now NEED to make yourself aware of it, the writing, the art ALL of it is so very, very well done. <br />

<br />
sorry about the blog silence but I have valid reasons<br />
<br />
1 - Really busy up until the Chrimbo holidays and any free time I had went into the commissions I had to do, which I obv couldn't post cause it would have been a Christmas pressie spoiler.<br />
<br />
2- Look I sprained a ligament in my drawing hand so :P, it's on the mend now tho and I'm back drawing, according to doc I'll be 100% drawing fit by next week<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8zAyHrC0kqMjN7zKm5GdLIBXfG49QAHhjCUZhGBkTRQoA89_G978wNgE1cHzu7_oa7UnSibNM_iG_UXatvq68z0RgDMW1FEAq6e14mBR5QVPiCtqmDN0lXkocBw13SShSVjTdIbqkyytP/s1600/IMG_2574.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8zAyHrC0kqMjN7zKm5GdLIBXfG49QAHhjCUZhGBkTRQoA89_G978wNgE1cHzu7_oa7UnSibNM_iG_UXatvq68z0RgDMW1FEAq6e14mBR5QVPiCtqmDN0lXkocBw13SShSVjTdIbqkyytP/s1600/IMG_2574.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
So I'm gonna post up some of the commissions I did now and keep some other ones for dry spells, like say when I'm busy or sprained my hand ( not that I EVER plan on spraining it again) <br />
<br />
So here goes<br />
<br />
This was for my friend Dave, who asked me to do a caricature of his missus Claire. Usually when it comes to family and friends I point blank refuse to do caricatures for many reasons. But I grew up with Dave and Claire, now I live in Dublin and they're in Wexford so if I got it wrong, well I'm not around to hear about it! So why not have a go at it ;)<br />
<br />
After I told Dave I don't usually do caricatures of family and friends he said all he wanted was " a girl with black hair with a lab coat on" (as Claire works in a lab). When I got the chance to work out the caricature it didnt really take long, turns out Claire is pretty easy to draw.<br />
<br />
side note - By the way EVERYBODY in facebook land, well finding reference on you to draw is a tad easy and a little stalker friendly... just something to keep in mind<br />
<br />
So here's the pic, I just thought it would be a little funny if I threw in a bottle of wine into the mix and made it look like Claire was swigging wine from one of the test tubes in the lab.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Happy Weekend,<br />
<br />
late post this week as I usually blog Friday morning ( Irish time ) and wasn't sure what I'd post up until now. Buuuuuuut I have a couple things left handy for such a week when things get so busy I don't get a chance to finish anything. This is one of those weeks.<br />
<br />
Here's a piece I'm still pretty happy with from a cartoon I still adore. This is Heatblast from Ben 10, I drew this up for a mates kid who had the flu at the time and was ( hopefully still is ) a Ben 10 fan. Hope you guys dig it too.<br />

Aaaaaand here's the Ignite Talk I did at Electric picnic this year in the science gallery tent. I talked about storyboarding and the way the Ignite talks work is like this - <span class="userContent">there's 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds, for 5 mins. It was a lot of fun to so, some of you may have seen it already as I put it up on Facebook and Twitter during the week.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">Here's the Youtube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBZV7rWgAjY">link</a> as the video isn't loading via blogger, I'll try get sorted so it can play on this post.</span><br />

Some doodles in the pad, mucking about with some pens.<br>
<br>
<br>
Aaaaaaand the piece this week. Well a bunch of my friends got married this week, that's right a bunch!!!<br>
<br>
One of those couples are my mates Ted and Kells. I went through secondary school with Ted, we quickly became friends over comics and all things film and nerdy. As we left school and did the usual drifting apart nonesense, he meets the great Kells, they get married and live happily ever after!<br>
Sooooooo a nerdy friend gets married, what do I do? Seize the opportunity to draw these two something nice. <br>
<br>
I remember him being a big Joe Mad fan ( who wasn't right? ) and while being on the stag I remember Ted saying he actually knew Kells when he was a kid. So it kind of made sense to use Joe Mad's characters Red Monika and Garrison from Battle Chasers, since these two kind of had a Mulder Scully will they wont the thing later on in their life and knew each other as kids.<br>
<br>
The problem here, well Red Monika dresses a tad... well...slutty. Pretty sure herself and Ivy from Soul Caliber buy their outfits in the same shop. And Kells is a classy girl and Ted well Ted isn't a classy girl. So I didn't want to have that overly busty almost nude Red Monika in their wedding present, it works perfectly in the comics but not so much as a wedding present.<br>
<br>
Then I started thinking about the pose, well I've wanted to do some kind of homage to Rodin's "The Kiss" for a while now. It's prob one of my all time fav's of any art ever.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvuvRkzzz1G4Y4rjTDxSGKOZqojemIU9eB99qjVJwcxA4bs10rNlPEY0B8rjDhO1aYKxsgUc7ui0sop6eVYde-GutgUsz8yLSAol441EVUD46lG_LwATN_GGj44ZtIVUxKd4p1KoeVW-9/s1600/the_kiss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvuvRkzzz1G4Y4rjTDxSGKOZqojemIU9eB99qjVJwcxA4bs10rNlPEY0B8rjDhO1aYKxsgUc7ui0sop6eVYde-GutgUsz8yLSAol441EVUD46lG_LwATN_GGj44ZtIVUxKd4p1KoeVW-9/s320/the_kiss.jpg" width="308"></a></div>
<br>
I remember studying this in school, reading about how uncomfortable the pose is for these two and that the kiss itself could only last for a second before the pose would become so uncomfortable. Nonetheless the couple seem to twist into "unison" so we literally see the couple becoming one. Every beat of intimacy hit in this great sculpture and yeah they're nude but it's pretty classy, bet these two never twerked a day in their lives and manage to kiss and keep their tongues in their mouths.<br>
<br>
So tried to capture the essence of Rodin's 'Kiss' and Joe Mad's generation inspiring Battle Chasers, this is what I got.<br>

Left out the characters weapons for the most part as Red Monika is a kick ass mercenary who usually is up to the gills in knives etc, but left in Garrison's sword, put it behind them, almost a fading silhouette so it's almost suggesting that it's the end of one part of their life, but the blossom on top of the tree behind them is blooming, so it's suggesting new beginnings. <br>
<br>
Ted and Kells, Congrats you two. I wish you both all the happiness in the world.<br>

<br />
this is my 100th blog post.. somewhere Dan Spencer is laughing at the guy who never blogged and used to shun technology. But here we are, Technology embraced and a 100 blog posts later.<br />
<br />
Here's my folio for DICE, the finished Northlanders pages I did last week and some Secret Avengers pages. Had a lot of fun on these<br />

<br />
Just managed to squeeze this pic out today. Maybe some of you know Andrew Hickinbottom's character Trixe? Well if you follow his Facebook ( and if you don't I recommend that you do so straight away) you'll see that everyone kind of has a go at drawing this character. I've wanted to for a while now so gave it a shot today.<br />
<br />
Lots of fun to draw, I can see myself drawing her again just for kicks! hope yee dig it. I didn't want to post another in progress page of comic art, they'll all get postyed when they're done. so hope this fills a gap until next week!<br />
<br />

<br />
Really digging drawing women at the moment ( as you could probably tell from the last number of posts ), might even take a page from Bruce Timm's book n draw a bunch for a book we'll see how that turns out.<br />
<br />
If you would like to get you hands on a book of designs let me know via Twitter/Facebook and IF I get enough interest I'll try knock one out for Christmas or something! Linsk to both my twitter & Facebook are to the right! :)<br />

<br />
So here we go, Thursday lats workshop first. <br />

<br />
First off I'd just like to say Thank you again to all who came to the workshop. There was even a few people who came down on the night on the slight chance that there had been ticket cancellations and they might get in. Really appreciate the interest I hope you all got what you needed/looking for from the workshop, very happy to be working on your folios with you now!<br />

<br />
Aaaaand then I went on to do an Ignite talk at Electric picnic last week. An Ignite talk is 5mins long, and every 15 seconds you have a new slide to talk about, so you gotta keep up with the slides as they change automatically. Loads of fun, would love to do it again. The talks were recorded to go onto the Ignite talks website, when it goes up I'll post it here too.<br />

Found this chest and some old portfolios in a clear out yesterday, I thought it might be a bit of a laugh to post up some stuff! Well the stuff that lasted, some of the paper deteriorated over the past 10 years so i did what i could with what i had at hand. I apologise now, but I didn't have any internet access in when i was back in the rents house so i had to stick with the camera on the iPhone so some of the quality of the pics isnt so hot, but hey neither are some of the images ;) .<br />
<br />
So here's what got me into BCFE... yes I was the guy that had comics stuff in his animation portfolio... rookie mistake<br />

I copied this from a comic book I really digged at the time. Drawn n painted on A2, acrylics were about the only paint i had any grasp of at the time.<br />

Yep I also had the stereo typical celebrity charcoals, here's Enya and some Hopkins, A2 again.<br />
<br />
next probably what got me into college I had sketchbooks and sketchbooks full of drawing of my friends in school. there used to be an after school study, I signed up for that and used the first hour to draw hands, bags negative shapes of chairs, people you name it just things I knew that were famously hard to draw things I had heard helped me improve my observational skills. Honestly that's probably all i was aware of at the time. When I went to college I realized EVERYTHING that I was doing wrong.<br />

<br />

<br />
Just a little something to keep the blog ticking over as it's one of the few finished pieces I've knocked out this week.<br />
<br />
Here's some other stuff I've been working on some inks and A LOT of pencils. But since it's all soooooooo rough i'm gonna post up bits of the lot so you can see the process of it.<br />
<br />
So here it goes, here's some stuff I've been working on in a Northlanders test script. I've re- started this so many times now my plans are a little more abstract or loose than usual as I know what I'm looking for now. I should note that I've started and restarted this sooooo many times now cause I keep going back to it a month or two at a time die to work, this time I'm just gonna get it done.<br />

Alright so this how I start planning out everything, the VERY first thing I do is make a mess. Plans for how I think I'll tell the story sporadically placed among plans I have for character designs. This time it just happened to be on an A3 sheet cause that's what was in arms reach of my animation disc. Other times its an A5 book or A4 paper i use for my printer, just something to get the ball rolling and get some kind of idea down. At this point I'm just trying to get a feel for what I'm drawing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As they say in Pixar, "fail early and fail often". Start trying things at this point, test how far you can push a design, do it all here not later. I spend a lot of time working on this. There's a rake of other drawings done as well but since this stuff is soooooo sketchy and almost abstract I thought it would be more interesting to show, we all got to start to somewhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
All the little images are panels featuring what I think needs to be shown according to the writers script. After I do this I figure out how I want to break down the page. I always break my pages down by using focal points... this part is pretty abstract, panel shape & bleeds are all figured out here in just their basic shape. Squares, rectangles, empty space, if a shot is going to have a dutch angle or a camera tilt, whatever it is that im going to employ to lead the eye around the page correctly. That's what happens here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

After that, it's pencils</div>

Big thanks to Pegbar, Animation Skillsnet and The Science Gallery too for making all this possible.<br>
<br>
Aaaaaaand below is something I drew up yesterday. Clearly I haven't had enough fun drawing pin up girls so here's another.<br>
<br>
It's actually a character for a poster I put together for a friend of mine who's running a striptease aerobics workshop in Wexford. If any of yee are interested in the deets, give me a shout on facebook/twitter and I'll send em your way.<br>
<br>
Kinda dig the character so here she is in all her glory. As usual I prefer the black and white.<br>

First things first, Pegbar in association with Animation Skillnet will be back this month, there will be a storyboard workshop in The Science Gallery Thursday the 29th of August. I'll be giving the workshop. All the details are on the Pegbar website <a href="http://pegbar.ie/wordpress/index.php/2013/08/09/pegbar-association-skillnets-returns-science-gallery-thursday-29th-august/">here</a> and you can buy your tickets via the Science Gallery website <a href="https://sciencegallery.com/events/2013/08/pegbar-story-boarding-workshop-association-skillnets">here</a>. you can also call inot the science gallery and get your tickets if you have any tech issues just ask em at the reception desk when you go in.<br />
<br />
The workshop will cover basic board techniques, I'll share some tips I have picked up in my time as storyboarder and provide a storyboard production package for anyone looking to build a portfolio. I'll even review your folio and help get you ready for the industry.<br />
<br />
And here's somethings I've been working on the past few days/weeks you might dig.<br />

<br />
The first is a page from a short story I worked on for Coimicí Gael's Rírá with writer <a href="https://twitter.com/DaveHendrick">Dave Hendricks</a> and letterer Aidan Courtney. It'll be out soon so keep an eye out for it, it'll be a great book and it's aimed for readers of about age 8is + I'd say. Had a lot of fun working on it!<br />
<br />
and here's a WIP panel of my Carrie and Rufus book,<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a birthday card I did for a mate of mine, she's been asking for a picture of Shakira's ass for a while, I felt it was my moral duty to oblige. Here's Shakira doing that 'bum lift' thing from the she wolf video<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtvrxU8E1boK8WqQgz922tD4PxmZgsda8Dzp4vy7sab_zDaYxzksvv28q45b5w4uWird1flms07eNH0nIf3M2DqkviCPQbEkvB9ZfRA4v9Si0DCAgmFUi1jQ9xGqs96lugors-Bp6Lvf67/s1600/book_cover_WIP_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtvrxU8E1boK8WqQgz922tD4PxmZgsda8Dzp4vy7sab_zDaYxzksvv28q45b5w4uWird1flms07eNH0nIf3M2DqkviCPQbEkvB9ZfRA4v9Si0DCAgmFUi1jQ9xGqs96lugors-Bp6Lvf67/s320/book_cover_WIP_.jpg" width="215" /></a></div>
<br />
Aaaaand this is a project I've been ticking away at for a while now, just getting pieces done in small pockets of free time. It's for my mate Paddy Lennon, he's a writer and he's currently sorting out his superhero novel 'Flare' and he was sound enough to ask me to do the cover. I've been one of a lucky few to read this book, It's Class! Recently Paddy has put excerpts of his book up on his blog so give it a read <a href="http://paddymlennon.blogspot.ie/">here</a> so you can get a taste of the book and then spend all of your monies on it when it's out!<br />
<br />
The characters your looking at here in the cover are (going from left to right are) Aimee DeWitt and in her superhero uniform she's kicks ass as Revenant, Ryan Curtis also known as Flare and Hiroshi who rocks it in a pretty awesome Mech suit, or as Paddy put it so elequently ' basically War Machine on steroids'!<br />
<br />
Hope you dig em. See you all next week, same Ben time(ish), same Ben channel.<br />

<br />
Started this late last night so it's only a work in progress.<br />
<br />
Went to go see Pacific Rim this week. Holy Wow, I don't think I've had as much fun in the cinema in aaaaaaaaages! Really enjoyed it, if you haven't seen it I recommend that you do before it's out of the cinema, it's definitely a film that deserves a watch on the BIG screen. <br />
<br />
Reasons to go see this film - GIANT Monsters fighting GIANT robots, one of the best omoplatas you'll ever see MMA & Jui Jitsu fans, All of the Action, if you like anything post apocalyptic, FUN, cheesey dialogue & end of the world speeches, if you're a del Toro fan and if you like watching people stick fight! That's right it's got all these and waaaaaay more so I thought I'd throw my hand at some Pacific Rim fan art.<br />
<br />
Here's Mako, she's pretty class in fight, as long as she's got that staff she might even beat Ronda Rousey.<br />
<br />
As I said it's just a work in progress at the mo, I'll try finish it for the blog next week!<br />
<br />
Hope yee dig it<br />

<br />
not much to report on this week, been doing some writing for Carrie and Rufus, finishing off a couple of other gigs and starting a few new ones. I did these in what ever time I had spare ( spare time is hard to fins at the moment cause it's really nice and sunny in Ireland at the moment and that never happens so I'm taking advantage of it while the sun's around!)<br />
<br />
Here's something I don't usually post my warm up drawings, cause usually it's a page of circles as I don't really give the warm ups the time you see Young and Colman give them ( their warm up sketches are pretty amazing) but this week I drew up some heads, just for the sake of it really.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYkgwU0h1VX8QBrRuptR5XUSmDyFArVJ9SA4ANUjMWcQ4KYj7lmzIErLIjCZTpkftVND_b-DOmf3qeKiqvfSP6QXVGWTbJuuhEKRkBUAGJ4RK-uXiokMq8rR77NC0aj_-mgRU1gReKlKDH/s1600/heads.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYkgwU0h1VX8QBrRuptR5XUSmDyFArVJ9SA4ANUjMWcQ4KYj7lmzIErLIjCZTpkftVND_b-DOmf3qeKiqvfSP6QXVGWTbJuuhEKRkBUAGJ4RK-uXiokMq8rR77NC0aj_-mgRU1gReKlKDH/s320/heads.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
these are actually influenced by some failed figure studies of people I drew on the bus or in a café. Just trying to add some new shapes for myself to play with future character designs.<br />
<br />
And the next is something I knocked up yesterday cause i thought just posting up the warm ups was a bit of a cop out. I've wanted to do a series of cartoon figures in real backgrounds for a while so I decided to scratch that itch last night. I'll do a better version the 2nd time round, this one was rushed and was a first effort. You might remember the girl from a previous <a href="http://bennessy.blogspot.ie/2012/07/sketches-and-ms-noir.html">post</a>? I guess this is what she looks like chillaxing at home.<br />

<br />
So here's more Carrie & Rufus, I wasn't going to post anything about them this week but this sort of transpired throughout the week.<br />
<br />
Those of you who know me know I'm a massive David Colman fan, if you don't know about his stuff check him out <a href="http://www.davidsdoodles.com/">here</a>, the mans got skills. He did those great designs for Class of 3000, there was no straight lines in the designs, which kinda blew my mind!<br />
<br />
And just for a change in the studio lately, I have a pic of his up by my work desk, it's one of my fav's, here it is. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So I've just been doodling pics of Carrie and Rufus in similar poses, while being on the phone, taking a little break or just trying to warm up. This pic constantly in front of me so I thought maybe I'd try my hand at doing my own rendition or homage so to speak with Carrie and Rufus. And so here it is<br />

<br />
As promised in an earlier post, here's some fan art of my friend Miki's comic the Jolly Roger. I remember Miki saying on one occasion that this character from the book was the most fun to draw, he wasn't wrong.<br />

If you don't know this book or Miki, you're really missing out, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Miki-Montllo-ARTWORK-STUFF/152529784844709?sk=photos_albums">here's a link to his artists facebook page</a>, hit the life drawing album, caricature album and obviously the Jolly Roger album, you'll leave inspired.<br />
<br />
Anyways, that's me for this week. More next week. I'll have some more Carrie and Rufus work & something to go with em!<br />

<br />
It's been a messy week with work so unfortunately not a lot to post up.<br />
<br />
Everything, projects I'm working on in my own time and the work I'm doing professionally is either under NDA or in rough blue pencils. I was hoping to clean up some of the blue pencils this morning but work got a little busy so I didn't get a chance to clean anything up ( and they REALLY need some cleaning up) <br />
<br />
So I'm gonna stick up an oldie of Carrie and Rufus and a Hulk and Harley Quinn commission I did this week. Hope you dig em!<br />

<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Things have been a mixture of busy and messy these past two weeks, so only getting to blog now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

First off, here's the final version of the Fred's Got Slacks cover. Differences between this and the last <a href="http://bennessy.blogspot.ie/2013/05/freds-got-slacks-wip.html">WIP</a> are the paints on her back, some hue changes and obviously font and background changes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br>
And here's the next thing. This is
something I've been toying around with for a while now and since well,
what seems like ALL my friends are doing comics of their own now, I'm going to bite the bullet and get a comic of my own on the go. <br>
<br>

That's right John you'll no longer have to ask me when I'm going to bring out my own comic, it's happening. I haven't chosen a name for the series yet but it's 8 issues of short stories about Carrie (the character above who you might remember from an earlier <a href="http://bennessy.blogspot.ie/2013/02/new-character-ipad-cover-commission.html">post</a> ), and Rufus, the fox below. <br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQt2RLVWVhaiEgRhsnIgsiLe-4j2hyNcP6V955ISpv4nagZKILYX6GNfBrmbx6JxPeRDrKJ8DxDQ8ipqNDocLRvfFQztrxIhyofspHg5G3RE5KgvF_ZieeaFyAa6Mr0IXlC6WnjEeX07Wu/s1600/rufus1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQt2RLVWVhaiEgRhsnIgsiLe-4j2hyNcP6V955ISpv4nagZKILYX6GNfBrmbx6JxPeRDrKJ8DxDQ8ipqNDocLRvfFQztrxIhyofspHg5G3RE5KgvF_ZieeaFyAa6Mr0IXlC6WnjEeX07Wu/s320/rufus1.jpg" width="226"> </a></div>
It's early days yet, still writing the majority of it and still working on the designs. Rufus's design is essentially finished but I'm still playing with and trying different things with Carrie's design. But here it is, I've said here now and I will finish it.<br>
<br>
Because I love post apocalyptic EVERYTHING! That's the kind of story this is going to be, where these two survivors happen upon each other by chance and grow to be a formidable duo against the dangers of the post apocalyptic world they now live in. Yes, there will be zombies. I like zombies. <br>
<br>
I'll post up my progress with it as I go along. I'm also working on two other comic related gig's at the moment. With two awesome writers and all around really sound blokes! Aaaand if I get their permission I'll hopefully have some character designs posted here next Friday. I'll also have some samples from a Northlanders sample script I'm working on at the mo.<br>
<br>
So there it is, many irons in the fire, at least one's gotta come out with some kind of notice right? ... right? RIGHT?<br>
<br>
so Sin é as we say here in Ireland. More to come really soon. Laters!<br>

<br />
New piece up. Playing with black and whites again. Enjoyed this one, it's a bit different than stuff I've been working on lately, this was just a drawing for drawings sake. Just about got this done today,<br />
<br />
I was about to start work on a friends wedding card, looked over some old reference. I was always a big fan of Rodin's 'The Kiss', such an awkward pose for both people, so you get the idea that it's something that only lasts a second before one has to completely change their position. but the way they are just so entwined together really hammers home that feeling of 'one-ness'. Decided I'm gonna start doing some of my own versions on famous pieces I like ( big ask right?) for the mean time, here's a piece I've called 'Shelter From The Storm'... yes I was listening to Bob Dylan recently<br />
<br />
Still blogging once a week! See yee next week!<br />

<br />
This is still a work in progress but I really wanted to keep the weekly blog posts going so here's Fred, she wears slacks REALLY well! A mate of mine asked me to do an album cover for their band Fred's Got Slacks ( awesome name right? ) You can check out some of their stuff <a href="https://soundcloud.com/jacomi/freds-got-slacks-sunday-school">here </a>.<br />
<br />
It took me an AGE to get around to it but I finally am. Pretty happy with how it's going so far, when it's finished, I'll post up the final piece. <br />

<br />
And here's the colour in progress. More to come soon. I'm hoping to get a bit more time next week to work on some new blog stuff as well, between trying to get to the 2D Fest this weekend and clearing out work for it, it was next to impossible to do a whole lot more this week.<br />
<br />
Anyways go enjoy the bank holiday weekend, I'll see you all next week! Laters!<br />
