Pirate Pencils!

Pencils for the first three pirates are now complete and I'm now moving onto vectoring the outlines. We have Peg-leg Pete, bosun Barry and the Captain!

Quite pleased with these initial outlines and due to the beauty of vectors, I can fine-tune any squiffy bits at this stage. Once complete, I can begin adding in the colours.

Pirates... HARGH!

For my next series of cartoons, I am working on some pirates! Why pirates? Well, they're pretty cool, plenty of scope for character and lots of room for silliness!

I'm thinking initially we need a pirate captain, a first mate and possibly a member of the crew up to no good. Peg-legs and eye-patches a plenty, watch this space for more updates!

Mad Scientist

Not entirely festive, but currently working on the next of my 'creepy critters' - this time, it's the mad scientist and his faithful, if a bit ugly, lab assistant.

Pencils are complete and base colours down - just the details to go. More to see shortly!

Christmas Tansha cartoon complete

Well, that's it! Another Christmas Tansha cartoon completed - created entirely in vectors this year. Was a great challenge to have a 'busy' composition and not be using pen and ink and also found how much more an illustration of this kind can benefit from being created entirely from vectors. Will add to the website in the next few weeks - watch this space!

Mummy's Alive!

I've completed my Egyptian Mummy and he's now available to view in the portfolio section of the site. Very pleased with how this piece came together and also how nicely the detailing works on the bandages. Right, now to complete the others!

Tansha time!

Yes, it's been a year already and time to go about creating another crazy scene for the Christmas edition of Tansha. I'm thinking this year, Santa & co could be delivering all of the goodies - but not without the usual mayhem!!!

Lots of crazy ideas and initial sketches in the pipe. Watch this space for more updates!

Bandages and all!

With the initial sketch completed, the vector lines are underway on our Egyptian mummy! I'm using a combination of line thicknesses for the outline on this one, as I think if I use the same throughout for the bandages, it could look a little much and be a little heavy!
