Another old thing.

spidey...

Some old comic work experience.

I did some work with a midlands-based t-shirt company and was very greatful to have done some workfor them. Unfortunatly my interest began to subside and as you can probably tell, it started to show until my productivity grinded to a complete halt.

Worth showing i think though...


this was the fist bit before i was given the overwhelming task of doing an entire issue....

 ...And the rest... bleghhhh...

Finished Colour and Black and White. Just before i lost everything on my computer!!!

still not finished

After colouring this image i think i prefer the black and white version. still, might do a more limited colour version. Also, the title is gonna be somthing like ''2 hard Bastards'' and ''skidmarks is like an issue title. so it's the 2 hard bastard the will ''smash your face, not skidmarks.

BLACK 'N' WHITE VERSION

Here's all the completed shade-ery. Next step is to clean up some of the random smudges around the frame of the pic and anywhere else i find them. Then on to propper colouring in photoshop.

colour experimental and shading stage 1

Here's an unfinished colouring of the cover image. 

was just eager to see what it would look like with some colour basically. i then felt as though it needed more

shading.

 

here's the beggining of my attempts to shade the image. i wanted to fill the page with as much black as possible, in some cases to hide mistakes! though now i feel like this is a bit too much. but i'll press on with this until i have a final colour image.

hopefully i'll upload a finished B/W image tomorrow.

30 second doodle.

quick quick quick portrait 'fore i go to bed. will do more o these. it's a good exercise.

i love empanadillas!!!

was gonna send this pic as an email attachment but my hotmail isnt working. technically, they are something i created so why not put thison my blog.

Inkoodle

Here's the inked version with some (not all) of the shading. .im finished up for today so im just uploading this one in it's current state just for the hell of it.

Cover image pencil clean up

been a while since i've done anything so today i began the next stage of creating a mock up front cover image for ''skidmarks''

need to do a second clean up of this. and then some more stuff.

Scriboodles

I've done nothing but play playstation look at some timetraveller lady video on the net and watch movies (Iron Giant, Final Fantasy (spirits within AND advent children),Kingpin, Magicians and the original Metropolis so i just go up off my fat ass and did some drawingz.

here's some development pics before i show the final (kind of final) product...

Here's the 1st one i did. the logos  and cation were something I added after I finished the last pic I'm about to show. 

Here's the layout and another rough sketch of the heroes. All done with a ballpoint pen.

 These 2 are pretty self explanatory. I actually prefer these kind of drawings to my finished product most of the time. Why is that?

And here's the final one, like i said, kind of. i'm gonna give it the full works. ink, colour. the whole photoshopery.

Now... back to watching Monster House.

Stage 1

here's an almost complete version of stage one. none of the interactive feature are applied yet (basically you'll just choose a box). be sure to watch til the end...

should be able to pick up the pace a lil bit now.

3rd stage: lava stream

Here's what the final stage will look like.

the stream of lava in the background will scroll along slowly in the background.

2 Backgounds

What a slow day it's been. Have mostly been replanning how the game will play out so have beem doing lots of doodles with a pen and some paper. think i've got it all down now.

These seem to have taken me all day today and they still need a little polish. 

One more Background to go: the obligatory final lava level...

Sy rooooooooooooools!

Here's yet another version of the opening title screen but with added music!!!

More stuff!!

Couple a things to post today, one of them is just minor changes to the title screen, AGAIN! Made an option to make either start game selectable or to roll the credits which I actually have a use for now that my buddy Sy is making some toons for me!

Here's the main title again with changes...

And here are the credits. Both are without sound at the moment. 

Loading...

I know NES games didn't feature loading screens but I couldn't help myself. Here's what will follow on from the title screen and eventually bring you to the interactivity itself.

This was the most fun thing ever. And im very pleased with the results! I'll be doing more of these no doubt. Kip and Yane!

Title change

Although I'm going for a quite lame sounding title I think 'space boxes' is a little too lame. I think this is slightly more fitting...

I took out some of the saturation from the red too. Felt it was a little too bright. 

On to the next bit now. This has already taken longer than it should've.

2nd post!

Here's what I've been up to this evening...

And now I go bed.

To get this blog thing rolling...

A few months ago I made a 'prototype' for an interactive video on youtoob. It's very basic but I was just seeing if the thing would work the way I hoped. Select a box, find the prize!

Right now I'm doing the polished version and after that I'm doing another one. Here's a sample...

More to come...
