RAZARHAWK Jetsuit concepts

 RAZARHAWK has been coming along nicely lately, so I thought it was about time I blogged something! Here are some early ideas for jetsuits for Kitty. I knocked these up and sent them to the boss (Ian) and he said '...no, no, no!' REJECTED JETSUITS. Rejectsuits?
Anyway... I'd love to post some panels but it's all top secret for now! We have a launch date though... also secret.
Damn creators and their vagueness! I hate that too!

So, what do you think? :D

UPFEST 2012

This was me right at the start of the day! I had no idea what to do as my piece, but as luck would have it I received a big pot of blue paint that morning so there was really only one true choice...

KITTEH!

Here is the first rough sketch which I scribbled with purple emulsion! Infact, nearly all of this piece was using emulsion - the differing shades of blue were made mixing acrylics!

Once I'd roughed in the block colours I messed around with shading the light bits and fixing/tweaking her proportions. This was so hard as everytime I stepped back it was almost into someone. I am very grateful for all the people who watched and took photos and even asked me questions though! You lovely people make it so much fun! I chatted to loads and tagged many sketch books :D

I then used a black chunky paint pen for her outlines, this is always when I start to get happier as it looks close to being finished! Up to this point I am one stressy binty!

Stick a blade in her, she's done >:D (she'll fuck you up though buddy!)

I was so busy during the day painting that I didn't get much of a chance to run around and check everyones pieces out! I caught a few and everything looked AWESOME! I have no idea if my canvas sold yet as I had to leave the fest early to join in some other Jubilee events! If you spot it let me know ^-^

Razarhawk - A Small Press Big Mouth exclusive!

It's only 9 days until Bristol Comic Expo! I am so excited I could poop! Anyway ~ we have some news and our wonderful friends over at SPBM have written a lovely blog post for you! They have also revealed a page as a teeeaser! Big teases! So go have a read - maybe we'll see you there!?

Kitty Hawk Pg4 Progress

Juuust wondered if I should show the stages of a page as I work on it!? :D I added some buildings, I DON'T LOVE BUILDINGS AS MUCH AS RUNNING NOBODIES.

Kitty Hawk WIP

I've taken a week off work this week to... work. >:D Here is a WIP of page 4. It's a splash page - turns out I love drawing nobodies running in terror :D

Ian Matthews

Ian Matthews (as some of you might know if you follow me on Twitter/nosey around on my blog) is the writer of a comic I am working on! Kitty Hawk Kicks Ass is a project born out of our bonding over action/guns/girls/comics and is due to be released this year! Infact, have a progress shot to prove I am actually beavering away (albeit slowly whilst I finish my Bayou Arcana strip!)



Anyway ~ as well as being the writer of this 42 page action-filled visual assault and having penned another comic on the way about a bad-ass Bunny, he is also an uber talented model maker! :D I happened by his CV and stole a copy to alert you to it! Slide your eyeballs over this:





Sweet, no!? He's worked on childrens tv show Igam Ogam and Aardman Animation's The Pirates! He's so clever I hardly understand a word he says! :D

Ian is available for projects and commissions so drop him a line! You can find out more about him here!

He is also my very bestest fwend! ^-^

CICAE 2012

I will be appearing at Cardiff International Comics and Animation Expo to show some animation work as part of Swansea Metropolitan Universitys 3D Computer Animation table. I will also have some works on display from my forthcoming comic 'Small World' in Bayou Arcana: Songs of Loss and Redemption Vol 1 and Kitty Hawk Kicks Ass! both due 2012! Here is a poster I will be displaying among others! Come and say 'hi!' I will hopefully be showing my showreel and chatting about the industry and animation with any one who will listen! ^-^

Kitty Hawk Kicks Ass! July update
