How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse

The SFX Special Zombies - The Ultimate Guide  came out last week here in the UK, featuring a four-page feature written by Dr. Dale Seslick of How To Survive a Zombie Apocalypse with illustrations provided by yours truly!  Check it out.  It's got some great articles in there.

Since the magazine's out on the shelves now, I figure it's safe to post up a couple of the drawings here:

Return of the Blog

I'm currently in the process of building a slightly more professional and shiny-new website to replace this one, so I've let this wee blog fall a bit by the wayside, so what the hell, I'll dump a load of drawings that I've done recently:

HEY!! HEY! You! YEAH, YOU!

...Have some drawings.

 

 

 

This one was done for Brandon Graham's jam, based on French comic juggernaut Moebius' Starwatcher drawing.

 

And finally, the Daring Dangerine!  You'll be seeing a lot more of this Saffron Sentinel in the coming months.

That's all for now, see you next time!

Birthday Scrawlins

Extreme poverty guided me towards drawing pictures for my brother and sister's birthday presents this year.

Fruit Punch: SHARK ATTACK

I finally finished this comic the other day.  I'd been slowly drawing it over the space of a year in order to warm-up for other projects.  Initially it was all in pencil, but I wound up going back and taking the brush to it, which honestly was the best decision I ever made.

Anyway, without further ado:

 

I personally have never much rated J.O. Barr's The Crow, but I had a lot of fun drawing the character.  The "6,000 VIEWS" on the moon refers to this drawing being a reward for the 6000th view of my Deviantart.

Kirban Decay: MC Lightray

 

Another entry in the Kirban Decay series!

MC Lightray holds a regular spot at the illustrious NuGenesis Nightclub. As the fastest rapper in the city, Lightray's light-speed lyrical loquaciousness never fail to pack the house. Over the course of his tenure at NuGenesis, Lightray has formed a close friendship with head bouncer Orion.
 

Kirban Decay: DJ Darkseid.

The continuous listening of Adam WarRock's EXCELLENT album The War for Infinity, I was hit with the idea to do a series of drawings translating key players of Jack Kirby's Shakespearean-in-Magnitude Fourth World saga into a grimy inner-city setting.  The series' name? Kirban Decay.  Punlicious.

So without further ado, I give you the first of the series: DJ Darkseid.

 

Head DJ of Klub Apokolips, this Terrible Tyrant of the Turntables seeks to mix the fabled Anti-Life Compilation, thus remaking the underground music scene in his own malevolent image.

Audit pages.

For those of you who haven't heard, Audit's been moved from its placeholder site on Tumblr to a domain of its very own, where it can be read in a much more convenient fashion.  You can check it out HERE.

When I design a new character for Audit, I do a pretty bog-standard standing pose of the character for the sake of reference. (It's easier than constantly flipping back and forth through sketchbooks.)

Here are the major players from the first story.

Ornery cockney killing machine Bluedog Wintergreen:

Celebrated multiversal hero The Spectacle:

The Spectacle's powerful but unstable sidekick, Seeker.

 

The second story's already underway up on the website, but I've not gotten round to doing the characters for that one yet.

Mass Update-o!

I've been so seduced by Tumblr's memes-and-porn charms lately that the stalwart and dependable blogspot has once again fallen by the wayside!

In the interests of keeping current, here's a pile of some of the stuff I've been doing in my spare time lately:

Sequential Hi-Jinx

 

Quick reminder: I'm serializing my comics project Audit on a Tumblr at the moment while I work on building an  honest-to-goodness website for it.

Also, since it's February (also known as the armpit of the year), I'm taking part in the Drawing-A-Day challenge meme that's doing the rounds.  My attempt is a delightful comic kinda-sorta set in the same world as Audit, featuring the exploits of a young couple of urban professionals.  If I had to give it a genre, it'd probably be "Action Romance".  It's called Interesting TimeZ and you can read it here.
