More Something Wicked

A couple more panels from 'A Pleasing Symmetry'

Few men know what it is to dedicate their life to a single task

A panel from 'A Pleasing Symmetry'. Tones to be added, plus I'll be marking some locations on the map and adding place names. Who needs sleep, right?

I should add this my first 'montage' by the way.

And the finished version (possibly).

Only I've just noticed several small errors, mere minutes after posting it. Isn't that always the way?

The Wraith

I'm still beavering away on the strip for 'Something Wicked', and can't show a lot. However it's 1.30 am and I've just sketched this, which I'm quite pleased with.

More Victorian folk

Working on some of the previous sketches, I've enlarged them and cropped them in order to give more facial detail

Some Victorian folk

The strip I'm working on for Zarjaz has been pushed back until next year, so I've put that on hold and switched to another strip I'm producing for the next issue of another FQP title - Something Wicked. This is their annual horror anthology, and the strip in question is set in that most excellent of eras: The Victorian.

I originally wrote the story in prose form for a short story competition, then became interested in adapting it for comics. I hit a dead end however, and in the end brought my good buddy Matthew McLaughlin onboard to help me adapt it. He's sort of made it his own, in a brilliant way of course - whilst retaining the essnece of the original tale. Without giving too much away I can reveal that it's entitled 'A Pleasing Symmetry', and should be published this Autumn (in time for BICS).

Anyways, these are some concept sketches for it.
