Ready and Raring to go!

Hello, and I welcome myself back with open arms. 

I've left my Blog on its own for a while and I'm feeling a little guilty.....The lure of facebook can be incredibly tempting as you can see: 

www.facebook.com/carcassandslime.

I've been posting the majority of my new stuff on there, however this doesn't mean I'm giving this blog up, oh no! Well as I always say, it's been a while and so I'm coming back to my first home with good tidings. e.g. I've finished issue 1! It's back from the printers and all nice and shiny and ready to transfer itself into the public's hands.

This unfortunately is a little more limited than the preview issue, in so far as that I've only printed 50 copies! That is because this new issue is printed on lovely glossy paper and is full colour throughout, this may seem extravagant but I hope you agree with me in saying that colour is so much more fun. But sadly more expensive!!

I'm off to the Bristol Comic Expo this weekend, full details here;

All items in the photo will be for sale, I have numerous bits and bobs, plus a sketchbook so I may hand out a little free sketch here and there. In keeping with that theme check out this link;

It was a sketch I did last year at the Birmingham comic show, not bad!

Been a way for a while!

It's taking considerable time to get this first issue ready, but I must say I'm LOVING it! Comics are the best thing in the world, everyone should indulge, Like Books there is so much to interest every taste! Anyway here it is some lovely pencils that will be transformed into the front cover of issue 1!!

Meet Sarah Windsor!

Hello Folks , Still cracking on with the first issue. This is a minor or major character, She does add a certain degree of trouble in later issues....maybe! sarah windsor is her name, you will meet her on page 14!

Nearly there!

Christmas!...Really?

Hello, Hello, Hello!

I know it's early, but you know I just couldn't wait, and I've still got a lot of work yet to do on the first issue. But! Here is my version of the christmas card and it goes out to all who are willing to follow this blog, Merry Christmas one and all!

I'm going out for a walk now, I maybe some time!

Phew!

Well, It's been a while! I have been very busy recently, not just with the book but with other things as well......none of which I'm going to share here. I'm saying this of course as I feel a bit guilty for falling behind with the issue and thus need to unload my concerns to an inanimate object! e.g. A computer screen. 

As usual I am rambling. Below is another page ready for inking, I'm still experimenting with the blue pencil, which is proving useful, if just a little time consuming. I'm hoping I'll get quicker.

I've made a vow this month to press on and get as much work done as possible, this will inevitably leave me less time to post on the blog. Apologies to those faithful followers of mine but the less time I spend posting the more time I will have to draw!

Time ticks by

The first issue is well and truly on the way, It's going to be ready for the Kapow comic con in London next April and its going to be full colour! watch this space.

New stuff! Hooray!

Hello everyone...I've noticed lately that some artists use blue pencil before inking, I've been assured that this is the professional way to do things, and to be honest I've seen Trystan Mitchell do it and it looks incredibly good!

So, as I'm very obviously easily led I've decided to give it a go, I'm not sure if I'll continue because it's all new, but anyway as I'm rambling, here it is! It will eventually be inked and then I'll work the magic with photoshop and then it'll probably be for sale...these are all characters from the book by the way.
