Mekkeneyes page 1 art

For now here’s the artwork from the first page to give you an idea of the style. It’s greyscale to save time and costs. I like the way it looks so far. It’s different for me as I’m so used to doing colour work and painting that it’s took some getting used to doing things with black outlines comic book style.

I started this a while back and realised I was being too much of a perfectionist trying to paint in every detail which is a slow process, but now I think I’ve got a style I’m happy with and can produce in good time on a regular basis.

Long time no blog post

Wow time flies, can’t believe how long it’s been since I last posted. Fear not though I have been very busy with artwork, I just haven’t posted it here yet.

I’ve been working on a graphic novel, that means writing as well as illustrating it and I like where it’s going. Whether anyone else will like it we’ll see once I get it out there.

I’ll maybe post some concepts here and some pages but it has it’s own site ready and waiting for content to arrive. The story is called Mekkeneyes and I’ll post some background on it in due course.

Here’s the logo for the story.

Force Awakens First Order painting

As it’s May the 4th what better thing to paint than something Star Wars related. This is Kylo Ren one of the bad guys from the New Star Wars film The Force Awakens due out at the end of this year.

I’ve avoided any major spoilers so far but like the look of the new characters. This painting will show some of the new Stormtroopers and the Chrome Trooper when complete.

This is an Oil Painting on oil paint paper.
