Artober 2020- Day 27- Another 90 Minute Art Challenge

Finally caught up doing the most recent #90MinuteArtChallenge for #Artober This is one I can get lost in all its detail, and having the video of that livestream beside me whilst working in MagmaStudio made me notice areas I could've missed out or consider.

Inktober- Day 27- Shaun the Sheep

The past few days have been a bit of a blur because of doing uncle duties, but that does mean watching plenty of contemporary children's programming, including Shaun the Sheep. So here's an off-model take on that titular character for today. 

Comic Display at Red Room Exhibition March 27th 2017

Comic Pages on Display

Comics Display in Context with Other Images

For those that are not a Facebook friend of mine, I can reveal that for the past two years I have been helping a writer via PeoplePerHour to help bring their script to live in comic form. Three of these comics have made it on display recently at the Red Room Exhibition, over at the Royal College of Art last Monday. For work commitments, I could not make it to the exhibition, but thanks to the writer, I managed to retrieve the displayed work for you to admire. 

Whilst this has not been the first time my work has been on displayed, I am glad that they have taken a good place amongst the rest of the artwork, which looks very visually striking even when taken from a Smartphone. As for the comics themselves, I am surprised at how good the line of action is on the top page, featuring two characters interacting in three panels. I do not know if it is the choice of colours or how I have drawn them (although that bottom panel had been tinkered to get the final desired effect), but I was pleasantly surprised at how striking that very page is. Whilst the other two feature conversations, they seem cluttered from a distance. Therefore, people would have been able to read the pages for themselves closely. 

Overall, I am always glad to see my work getting exposure in any way possible, and as I am still working on this project still, I will look forward to finalising the product, with the writer, at some point this year. 

Day 27- Inktober- Whistling Man Revisited

I decided to revisit yesterday's Whistling Man concept. I added some more into the background. It certainly got an influence of Milton Knight and Robert Crumb about it. I might revisit even more at some point.
