Kid Tiger - colours


My good friend and ex-Fractal Friction compadre James Corcoran is producing this excellent Boys' Own adventure style strip for Starscape comics online, and he asked me if I'd be interested in colouring it. I couldn't resist, there's something wonderfully old-school and earnest about James' drawing, and the premise of the strip is pure costumed-hero goodness. These first two pages show our Kid getting into a spot of bother with the rather nasty teddy boy villain Vincent Vyle. 

Beyond making the tiger costume orange (obviously) James allowed me complete freedom, citing only the muted palettes of Daves Stewart and McCaig. Funnily enough, I've been idolising these two for some time now, and this was just another reason to say yes and experiment with a simpler approach. More pages to follow soon.

Jon Snow

I'm doing Game of Thrones over on my portrait blog this week, in honour of the fact that the second season of this excellent show has just started. This was an ink drawing I did last year of the sullen northern bastard Jon Snow, now with colour. Not to be confused with the Channel 4 newsreader.
