Rollo-Gaia's Guardian.

Hi everyone I haven't posted in so long, sorry about that. Anyway I've working away (STILL) on 'The Big Couch' I've mostly been working on layouts and character designs as you can see from this post.
Rollo is one of the three Guardians of Gaia. I added a quick bit of colour to give you idea of what the colour palette will be like.
Over the next few weeks i will updating the blog more often with character designs, commissions and some prints that I'll be selling at a con coming in February.

Guardian-The Big Couch

This is a character idea for my self-published book "The Big Couch". As by his name he's a Guardian of the world with in the story.

Chaos City Con & The Big Couch

Last Saturday I took part in my first ever con at Chaos City Comics in St Albans. It turned out to be a success and I got positive views about my work (the little I've done). It was great (and honoured) to share with such awesome and talented people such as Marc Laming, Christian Wildgoose, Dave Gibbons and Monty Nero.

And a massive thanks goes out to Chaos City for asking me to participate and they held a great event. When's the next one peeps????????? 

Below are pics from the pieces that I used for prints and postcards.
And on another thank you to all my family, friends and the lovely people I met for the first time for stopping by, chatting and buying some of my postcards or prints.

On another note, I was busy trying to get some of "The Big Couch" ready for event. Unfortunately I didn't get as much as I wanted done. I only mentioned these pieces/pages for it.

The first is of "Gaia" and "The Electric Priest" who is preaching the words of Gaia.

Gaia The Goddess of Life-The Big Couch

Gaia The Goddess of Life is one of the main players of my work WIP self published comic "The Big Couch"

As I've mentioned in post before about the book, it's an intergalactic cosmic space mecha odyssey. YES I think thats genre! I'll hopefully have some more pages done by the end of the week to show at the Chaos City con on the 12th July. 

This week has been great week for me, my prints for the con are done (which you can see below and I'll be selling at the show) 

Postcards are on the way and response to my work this week has be great. Thank you to everyone for all for the faves, RT'S and kind words. A very special thank you to two people Antony Ez Esmond @Ezohyes and Marc Laming @monkey_marc for always pushing, challenging, guidance and promoting my work at every opportunity you two are truly great friends.

Anyway enough twittering and back to work I go.

I Introduce to you FAZER!!

After a few months of designing the first of the mech's for my comic 'The BIG Couch' I finally came up with a design that am really happy with. This is 'FAZER' and will feature in the first part of the series. Am highly influence by Neon Genesis, Patlabor, Appleseed and Macross which will show in the mech designs throughout the story.

The BIG Couch page one

This is finally my first page for my comic 'The BIG Couch' 

It's set in a distant future where gods still live and now have become weary of the human race. REASON! The humans lack of commitment and faith of the gods. So the gods take on themselves to annihilate the human by sending 'The Aesir'. The elite guard to the gods. However a scientist has found the body of a mysterious young cyborg women named 'Vigdis' who in time will find out who she really is and hold the humanity's survival in her hands.

As you can see your un of the mill sci-fi story really. Am hoping to collect within a year and I'll keep posting stuff up so stay tuned.

McGUINESS

Another character for 'The Big Couch'. This is 'McGuiness' he's the minder for 'Vigdis' while she's in cryosleep.

THE BIG G AND FAZER

These are another two the mecha's for 'The Big Couch'

The Big G at the top is the leader of the mecha group 'The Aesir'

and is the killer of worlds. Fazer below is the hand to hand combat expert of the team.

WIP 'The Big Couch'

I haven't posted for a while, so I though show some of my progress with my first comic "The Big Couch'
Am really started to see it come to life now (even if it's only page one of colour), but I think am really going to struggle to get it done for 'Though Bubble' this year. I think I'll know by the weekend if I can get it done on time.

The Big Couch Page One Redo/ Restart

I decided to start my comic/graphic novel 'The Big Couch' from scratch. So the story is slighty different and the pages have taken a whole new shape. I will add all the dialogue once the book is finished.
