Jilted Lover

OK, I have almost got through the backlog of previously unseen experimental roughs done over the Festive Period: here is yet another captionless Medievel Offering, with a fetching buxom wench rejecting her unsuitable suitor in a way that she deems......... suitable.

I have at least one prrreeetttyyy macabre Medievel toon coming up shortly: it's highly visual,, as per usual.


 Gadzooks!   I am getting the hang of these Medievel gags, odd bodkins; they offer great scope and opportunity for a verily good groat's worth of Mirth and Mayhem......


The high-rez scanning has picked up impurities like the ink on the other side of the recycled paper bleeding through------these were just experimental roughs, remember....no more, no less.






Plate 1:    the finished slapstick gag, after Digital tweaking


Plate 2:   the rough in it's original state, in dire need of spacing out


Plate 3: Rough Medievel sketches done in Jan 2015








coming up:  first Baby Boomer tattoo design/ brand 'new' concept for a specialist site/ full-color Boomer/ full-color FLY /

IPC REDUX

THIS ITEM was a one-off, fairly elaborate Christmas-themed item in which the criteria was to recreate the ambience of the late 1960s/ very early 70s humour comics put out by IPC/ Fleetway---you know the sort of thing if you are into this stuff: Whizzer and Chips, Cor!!, and many more. ---in other words. 'no outright copying of established characters ' but I had to put over the basic ambience for them. Great fun, though clearly, this one took a fair bit of time to put together.

Subverso-O-toons [2] : KOONG KING

Image
Slightly risque imagery here as we see celebrated 'BIG APE' KOONG KING studying the contents of a 'racy' gentlemen's magazine..........dubbed 'OOMPH!' in this case. OOMPH! does not actually spring from my demented imagination, but is lifted, I believe, wholesale from a brief shot in an early M-G-M Tex Avery cartoon, in which one of Tex's characters views this ficticious mag momentarily.......I forget which cartoon it was [ I've seen 'em all!]  was, but the idea has clearly stuck in my memory, and I'm glad to resurrect it here. Another cityscape view, which so peppers the highly visual World of  BABY BOOMER and his pen-and-ink companions, this is yet another recognizable backdrop that offers up great potential for muchos experimentation and visual exuberance.....in fact, there is no way I will be able to find the time to put together all the gag ideas I have written thus far: the skill is in selecting suitable material worthy of adaptation.

Repeat Business [3]

TODAY'S ITEM is the fourth---and last, to date--------customized tailored caricature job I got offered by a kindly gent who liked my stuff enough to ask me back a few times. Great fun as usual and again I liked to do it in  fairly elaborate technique-style. Also contained below: not-quite-finished artwork [complete with image underneath burning through] , the original rough sketch required to 'sell' the proposal, and other miscellanea. Enjoi! RAB L.
