In Production [3]

AROUND 20  of these character sheets were roughed in by me a few weeks ago [in May 2016] over a couple of days, and  looking back through them with a fresh eye, they all look good enough to render in properly.

This one also needs a couple of word balloons, which will be added to the mix later.

The shark character is just an incidental diversion for a one-off appearence.


A good few more of these on the ways, including the finished versions of all strips.


Most of these are all-new ideas not seen in the original 600 plus strips.

    It reminds me of the Pathetic Sharks in Viz :D

    you are probably right, Natalie: although I try never to absolutely copy anything-------if I was making a main character out of the shark here it would be a problem, but for a one-off appearence this is fine I think.

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.

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.

HERE I HAVE ADDED the second sheet of artwork for my 'ice-cream' mini-strip; that is almost all of the character stuff/props complete on this one:  I just have to drop in the simple background plates. Although as revealed last posting I am not too sure of the copyright aspects as regards THE FLY, my adaptation of a King Kong-like character as seen here should be sound------he is just used as a supporting character, similar to adding in a stock vampire, or a Frankensteins' Monster-type 'also-ran' character------more on this later. New strip stuff is well under way for further inclusion on here. is it just me, or is that a wee bit of subversion I subconciously added to the double-cornet ice-cream? ENJOI! Rab-erto
