The Cosmics


The Cosmics in disguise...

... and as Old Mother Cosmos intended them. Apart from the wigs, that is.

More Zombies Vs Spooks


Here's a modest expansion on what's happening with these zombified kids from a page or so back.





The style's lurched sideways a tad, for sure. The first few were incredibly black, which was fine, but this time around I thought I'd try and suggest the nocturnal nature of things with texture and shading rather than huge impenetrable slabs of digital ink.

The characters don't even have names yet, but I'm rather enjoying working/finding out where they're heading...

Flight Of The Cosmics - Process 3


Grrr, pesky muted jpeg colours...

The Photoshop file is a damn sight more vibrant, but never mind, it's all heading the right way.

Medusa - Process 1



Here's my take on the mythic snakehaired petrifier, which owes a fairly whopping debt to Ray Harryhausen's wonderful version from the imminently remade Clash Of The Titans. Gosh, what a great film that is when you're nine... Anyway, I thought I'd pencil this one out first, so as to reintroduce some nice wholesome analogue textures into what has, of late, been a staunchly digital melting pot.


More colour and whatnot to come as and when... I've got about a dozen+ new illustrations on the go at the moment, all using different styles and techniques, and I'm hopping back and forth between them like a giddy fool.
