Yep, this was a while ago now, but I love drawing with this pen!
Episode 10 coming soon....
I've recently been following Steve Ogden's top class comic 'Moon Town' which looks slick and fantastic- I'm not a follower of many web comics, but this is really up my street! He's got some good character work in there, and it's currently starting to kick up a gear. Being a fan of Space Lego, Thunderbirds 2086, Droids and Transformers as a kid, this is definitely one I'll continue to follow.
Apologies for the lack of posting, but frankly I've been on paternity leave, so my beautiful little girl takes priority!
I'm not sure what this will mean for future posting, as time will be very limited (I provisionally have an exam in a month's time as well), only that I will always have the 'I need to be silly and draw something weird' itch to scratch, and I hope you come back to see the slow burning Ziggy story unfold, and see what other oddities emerge.
Anyhow, here's a go at at a LOTR Gimli, in an animated style.....
And of course, if you like it, please let others know....
Cheers!
I felt the need to buy a dip pen at the weekend, to get a more spontaneous feel to my outlining. I picked one, and some nibs, but I've really been liking this sketching pen I picked up as well. I can be faster, messier, and have more FUN.Anyway, I also thought it'd be cool to draw some Lord of the Rings characters in an 'animated' style-- the Aragorn pic above looked better than another one I spent longer on later.It'd be cool to draw some Silmarillion characters.
I've been able to get drawing on this a bit more recently...
I really should post more from the sketchbooks. Last night I was drawing more villains for Ziggy to face off against, and its great letting yourself just follow an idea, and seeing what develops.
Once again I've been busy on other things, and am now starting to catch up on some inking. However, I've now put up a Ziggy archive to the right hand side so if you're wondering what this Ziggy malarkey is, you can easily read from the start. Such a novel idea, I'm glad I thought of it before anyone else (ahem).
Saw last night the classy Lord of the Rings film 'The Hunt for Gollum'. It's been made by fans, and is superb. You can see it here, and it's well worth it. There's another LOTR serious fan film (as in not a spoof or amateur looking) due in the autumn called 'Born of Hope' and I'm looking forward to it.
Here's the last of the old frames inked, now I can begin putting up some newness....
Hope you have a grand easter, it's an awe inspiring time of year when you get to the root of it!
this, alas, is the bottom of the page and you can't go further. turn back!
