I went to see the very talented Rachael Dadd play at Cafe Oto as part of her Bite the mountain tour, She was joined by the also the amazing Rozi Plain, This is the Kit and Ichi all proper amazing give them a listen if you get a chance.

The audience were encouraged to draw pictures whilst watching the gig, these pictures were then sold at the end of the gig as part of a charity art sale. I created a very quick mini-comic chronicling as much of the proceedings as possible, the comic was bought Ai who kindly scanned in the images so I can share them with you! THANK YOU AI!

A few weeks ago Dave Gibbons gave a very insightful video streamed tutorial on how to use Manga Studio, and now you can view it in its entirety here at Smith Micro’s Manga Studio Website http://manga.smithmicro.com/webinar_video.html

If you don’t know what Manga Studio is, It’s a very powerful program for creating comic books.
I have been using it to draw my ImagineFX strips since last Novemeber!

(Below is a screen cap from Dave Gibbons tutorial!).

I think I had “Fist of the North Star” on my brain when I drew this!

I re-watched Brad Bird’s Iron Giant movie last night, It’s one of my favorite animated films!

It took me a while to get round to watching it as I had initially written it off as your usual bad Hollywood kids movie gunk ( I think this may have been down to a bad marketing campaign by Warner Brothers which sold it as “bad Hollywood kids movie gunk”).

I ended up catching it on TV on a quiet sunday and was absolutely gobsmacked at how good this movie was. The storytelling, animation and design all amazing. It’s a real shame that very few people watched this on release this is something I would love to see on the big screen!

Anyway as you can see I have knocked out a quick doodle of said Iron Giant, though I may redo the shading as I have seem to gone a bit screen tone crazy! If I have time I may draw him a body and give him a lick of paint.

If you never seen it I suggest you go to you local video shop and rent it (amazon also have it for very cheap).

This is a rough doodle I’m doing of Briareos Hecatonchires from Appleseed, It was inspired a drawing that Brandon Graham posted on his blog.

I don’t normally get to flex my Sci-Fi/Manga Muscles as I tend to focus on more cartoony style stuff but I’m having a lot of fun with this image. As you can see I have yet to finish his legs and the shading is very rough, I will post the finished Image soon!

I found this on Paul Popes blog - the image below is only part of a Frank Herbert Dune inspired comic page.

I just got Manga Studio EX4 and its very good as you can see by the results below!

I will make more posts as I get to grips with the software!

I’m really digging Brandon Graham’s art at the moment, I also enjoy reading his blog as he writes about lots of cool stuff! he seems to of grown up reading the same late 80’s and early 90’s manga as me!
