Portrait of Evil: The Mekon

I did this quick 5 minute drawing while watching the movie 'Infamous' with my wife. 'Infamous' is an inferior version of 'Capote' with a lot of well known actors but falls way short in every department when compared to 'Capote' except in one - Sandra Bullock. Bullock can act in this movie and she's darn good as Harper Lee. There, I said it!

The Mekon is Dan Dares evil nemesis. And I have to say, probably one of the greatest villains, if not, the greatest ever to grace the comic medium. Doctor Doom comes a close second.

I might do more of these type of doodles while watching tv with the missus. I don't think I caught the Mekon quite evil enough...I'll have to work on that. Not bad for a five minute doodle.

Zombie - Page 11 - Cheswick!

A sneak peek at part of page 11.

I stuck in one of my favorite characters from 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'.
Good 'ol Cheswick...all he wants is his cigarettes back!

Zombie - Page 10

This is the last 'Preview' page I'll be posting on this story.
I will post some non-spoilerish panels until it's complete and then back to full page previews for the last story.

Zombie - Page 9

Only one more page for preview after this post and that's it!
I'll be only posting panels until I start the last story.

Zombie - Page 8

Poor Sam!

Looks like he can't catch a break!
Is that about to change?

I'm only going to post two more pages of this story because I don't want to give away the ending...and it's a good 'un!

Flint Lockjaw - Webstrip - 6,7 & 8

Theres the last three pages. I reckon I'll continue this on at some stage. I got a whole script to adapt on 'Flint'. So, look out for a new Flint page in the coming weeks.

Flint Lockjaw - Webstrip - 3,4 & 5

I'll post the 'last' three submitted pages tomorrow.

Flint Lockjaw - Webstrip

Here's the first 2 of 8 webstrips that I did for Zuda.
I'll post two more tomorrow.

Vex - Blood Brothers - Page 8

Here's the last page of the 'Vex' story. Pretty corny run-of-the-mill stuff!
If you want to see more early 'Vex' crapola (I've got a few stories in the vault)...leave a comment and I'll share more!

Zombie - Page 7

My little tribute to Wally Wood in this page.

The babe is a Wood babe from Mad Magazine No.3, from the Kurtzman/Wood story 'V-Vampires!'

I thought she would be perfect for this strip and a nice homage to boot.

Zombie - Page 6

I'm really happy with this page.

I nailed the Stephen Hawking caricature...not so sure about the Paris Hilton one.

I reckon people will know who it is based on the rat-dog she's holding.

Zombie - Page 5

Phew! The next page we're finally out of the store!

Zombie - Page 4

Zombie puke! eeeewwww!!!

Cover thumbnails - Mercury and the Murd!

I have been approached to do a cover for an upcoming indy book....Mercury and the Murd.
I submitted the above ruff thumbnails for the writer to consider. Really looking forward to this.

My favorite are 1,3,6 and 7.

I'm hoping one of those gets the nod.

Zuda - Rejection!

I got my first Zuda rejection in my email the other day. Here's what it said...

Thank you for taking the time and effort to prepare your comic and for submitting it to Zuda Comics.
We here at Zuda are fortunate enough to have dozens of excellent submissions, from a wide variety of artists, to review each week. Our editorial team carefully reads each and every submission. After much consideration, we have determined that other comics are a better fit for our editorial needs at this time.
Please accept our best wishes and thank you for your interest in Zuda.
Sincerely,
-------------------

READ. VOTE. CREATE.

The only thing that bummed me out was...what took 'em so long! It was a 3 month wait. The artwork wasn't too bad...better than some of the stuff that passes as webstrips these days. I understand why they rejected it. Nothing really happens till the 7th 'page'.

I'll post the failed entry later this week.

Vex - Blood Brothers - Page 7

More horrible old stuff. Check out that amazingly bad dialogue! Sheesh!

Zombie - Page 3

I like the Zombies on this page. Did a decent effort on them.

Zombie - Page 2

I like this page. There's a good bit going on. I love part of Rich's description of the last panel...

'One on right wears a turban because I’ve never seen a zombie in a turban.'

Thats' a good enough reason to draw it, I reckon. I'm having lots of fun doing this story.

Zombie - Page 1

Ta-Da!
The first page of the second story in 'The Caretakers Uncannily Nasty Tales' anthology.

I should have the second page up in the next day or two.
It's already pencilled...just have to ink it.

I'm enjoying drawing this story too.
Rich's scripts are fantastic to work with.

Very flexible.

Vex - Blood Brothers - Page 6

More cornball Vex stuff.
