SQUID VS ROBOT

Squid wins this round.

Hypno-Beard

Look into my eyes...

a little bit of electroma shining through here...

Beard Strip

Just a little mess around here, coming up with a loose background for the robotic Beard Collector. Pages were huge so I had to scan bits at a time, so you get to see some of my woeful cut and paste jobs in photoshop. Urrrgh.

Beard strip opener

Started a little Beard Collector comic today. This is the title strip.

in action

Did this drawing of the Beard Collector for Matt Stenning of The Beard Collector early this morning. It was meant to be a little surprise joke and I was gonna stick it on his car but by the time I'd finished they were leaving so I had to hand it him in person.

he's got the taste now...

Dr Ion's battery runs low

Dr Ion is one of my favourite characters from one of my favourite videogames. That game being God Hand. If you haven't played it yet go do so right now! Srsly.

Anyway, I set about sketching him out after I got home from work today. Once I put it into PS that sapped all my time. Jeez, I need to get a graphics tablet... I ended up cheating with the fill tool to get some initial colours down at one point. Anyhoo, considering I've not used PS in ages I'm pretty happy with the end result. Robots FTW.

Robotic Penguin

A friend had asked me to draw a robot penguin a few days back, and while it's not the finalised image, I managed to mess about with the concept for an hour or so during work this morning. Didn't have anything to hand other than a bic so there's no colour down or anything yet. It was requested it be kind of cute, but I dunno how cute a robo-bird with tank tracks for feet can be. I'm not sure why I gave him a reel-to-reel unit on his chest either. Looks like I'll have to get back to the drawing board on that one. Sorry chu. x

And in other news I just managed to get a cheap mouse so I can manage in PS with a bit more ease (touch pads on netbooks are impossible to draw with). I'm hoping to have a play about in PS later on if time allows, and I may be able to get something else up before work today. Whoo productivity!
