Draconian Ninja comics!
I thought it about time I posted some comics pages on the blog. Last year I illustrated Dr Who: Cold Blooded War for IDW comics. It was only published in the U.S. sadly , so I'm sharing some pages with you here in case you didn't run across the title. This was the first strip I'd drawn with a brush pen - it's rough in places perhaps but I hope the energy and love of the subject shines through! I can't show all the 22 pages , but here's a selection to give you a flavour. Dedicated to Jon.

Lovely artwork.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, some lovely aliens in there will try and track it down in my local comic shop.
ReplyDeleteSorry i never saw this before,bro- the brush work reminds me of Darwyn Cooke's style- this is a GOOD thing...;o)
ReplyDeleteLove how economically but effectively the Ice Warriors are realised; their design looks brilliant in this style

these are tops!
ReplyDeleteyou're really taking to the brush pen, ade. and the storytelling is graceful and easy-on-the-eyes.
never saw a copy, but then agen i ain't bin in a comic shop since novemeber. but it's getting collected in a big-hunka book, right?
WJC - Thankyou.
ReplyDeleteJames - Doubtful you'll find in in a UK shop ( it wasn't distributed here except in small numbers in specialist shops).
Neil - Thanks bro' - if there's a little bit of Cooke there I'm pleased.:)
Neil - I was pleased with how the Ice Warriors turned out - I had the old David lloyd Dr Who art in the back of my mind. He did Lovely brushy ink warriors.
Shane - The brush pen saved this job.The script was running late and after a change of writer we had 4 weeks to write,draw,colour and letter the strip which had been solicited already. It was hectic and fun and I was forced to learn what the brush pen would do.Deadlines like this can make you fearless. I'd pencil/ink pages and send them on immediately. I'm so chuffed with all the kind remarks I've been getting - thank you all.
