fantastic female fan-art februaryyyyyyyyyyy oh yeah
did i mention my birthday is in feb? it totes is
quick thingie done for a holmes-themed blog
oh mitzeee from hollyoaks, i think i love you a bit too much
so i’m finally in a position where i have time to work on a side project. a small, one-off 36-page story. it’s called GALLERIA, and it’s about a 20-something who opens her own clothes boutique. it’s a bit girly. there’s no monsters or robots or ghosts although maybe there is and they’re just really good at hiding. i figure i’m going to use my tumblr to keep track of my progress, i’ve set myself a soft deadline for the end of september. you know how these things go, i do a webcomic which people actually read now, i work full time and i also apparently have friends that i totally didn’t even have to pay for - so if i don’t keep watching what i’ve done and not done then a day goes by then a week then a month and then i’m like “man, i was supposed to draw that story, huh?”.
so anyway: these last three days i’ve:
- sketched out the characters
- rough drafted the whole plot
- written a synopsis of the first nine pages
- designed a layout of the shop on google sketchup
- done a colour image to keep me interested
let’s see what the next few days hold. i hope i don’t lose the momentum i have going here. SHOUT AT ME IF I DO
seriously marvel, this was the obvious choice for fear itself WHY DID THIS NOT HAPPEN
i would also have accepted a MODOK the mighty
ARTIST BLOCK I HATE YOU
sometimes to get over it i’ll create some kind of dumb-ass challenge. today’s was to come up with nine different pairs of ankle boots. this stemmed from me drawing a really crap, unrealistic pair of ankle boots on something a couple nights back.
if it was moon boots, i’d be sorted. man do i love drawing moon boots. almost as much as i love drawing rats.
thought i’d blitz this saturday morning taking part in warren ellis’ remake/remodel challenge over on whitechapel, looks like i’m early to it, for once!
he got a big golden noggin. i’m off to find some cheap rum and drink it in the garden
Drawin’ all night for me! (Taken with instagram)
so THAT’S why he still gets christmas cards off them
