Kevin had been a bit swamped with freelance work lately..but he managed to get the strip updated. He'd been working on it till 2am...so, you can imagine the mistakes he's made through blurry vision.
Nope, no spelling mistakes this time...but grammar mistakes.
This is Agnes Browns gay son Rory. In the series everybody knows that Rory is gay except Agnes(of course!) and Rory always has a tough time trying to tell her.
Here's the first design for 'Mrs Brown's Boys' and animated show from Brendan O' Carroll.
There's a little bit of history with myself and Brendan...but I'll explain in later posts.
He's an Irish comedian/Writer/Movie-maker. He's known mainly in the USA as a writer. His books have been translated into so many different languages...it's hard to keep track.
He's a comic genius and a Saint of a man and I'm proud to know him.
Here's where I got took my online/blog name. It's an animated property I came up with at the grand old age of 20! I created the character and did the inital doodles which Mr. Robert Islas made look good.
I'm gearing up to do pre-production work on an animated pilot to be pitched to RTE and Channel 4. So, If I'm not posting often...you know why! However, If I get permission to post Work-In-Progess...I'll post lots of stuff.
Don Knotts as Superman! I think I'm going to do an old school Justice league...maybe have Don Rickles as Batman and Bea Arthur as Wonder Woman. Hmmm...
I'll be inking this sucker thursday night (hopefully). It's a drawing for Bob Bretall. Bob is JLAfan on the ComicGeekSpeak forum. Really nice guy.
I met Bob at the CactusCon in Mesa. I'm doing this for Bob because I felt he got shafted by an artist (a pro, by the way!) that did a not-so-good commission sketch for him. For the price that Bob paid for it...he should have asked for his money back or at last punched the guy in the throat.
It was that bad.
Not that my finished drawing of Zatanna will be much better...but at least it's free...and at that price...it can't be that bad.
Have to call Kevin later and ask him to change the lettering and a bit of the color. The online strip is slowly catching up to me. I got five more roughed out. Gotta get them done before It bites me!
Sent this page off to Rory the other day. From Deb's debut strip. i'll post some of the inks from Rory's pencils later. It's bound to look fantastic when Rory is finished deciphering from my rushed thumbnails.
Here's two rough images from Thugs! Chapter 5. Pencils and half-inks from two panels. Top panel shows Dentons clapped out VW Beetle. And the bottom shows Twenty and Denton making a run for it.
Woohoo! Kevin Volo (Pixelstrips fame) and myself were interviewd on ComicGeekSpeak! We talk about the Pixelstrips site and about some of my strips Hereos Exposed, Deb Bonair, The Real Man who came to Malego and Thugs! plus other stuff!!!
Click the link to check it out...it's Episode 176 around minute 53!
I know I said I'd have a better image of Duane from Undead Ed...but I'm really too lazy to crop it and post it tonight. I 'll do it another time...but for now.... say hello to my Swamp Creature...Bwah ha ha ha!
I felt bad over posting the Deb Bonair poster again...but with added words!
So...here's Duane. Duane is the bully that pesters Ed. He's a real piece of work. This was a preliminary design for him. I'll post the finished one tomorrow.
Okay, okay! I know...it's the same crummy image as the last post! Yeah, but...this one has the logo and word placement!
I sent the 'real' file to Kevin. It's up to Kevin to save this and work his magic. The next time to see this image...it will be the final version....promise!
Undead Ed was a animation proposal I was putting together with a writer/artist friend of mine. In the next few days I'll post some more images from the proposal, some background info and initial idea sketches.
