'Neon Jon' wanted poster

                         
                           A quick sketch playing around with cover ideas.

Sabel

                         
 Main character design for Sabel. Still need to work on the title font, but will all be             coloured in a watercolour style.

New comic!!

I have decided to shelve my first comic idea 'Plethora'. The main reason being is that it is far too convoluted, when I try to explain the story I lose them, it has too much stuff in it and needs A LOT of simplifying.

So instead I came up with a new idea, entitled 'Sabel'. It's a sci fi western and a revenge story, I've thought it all out (mostly) and have begun working on it, I really like the story I have created and I can't wait to see it through to completion and hopefully get it published!

Brief plot synopsis below!!


Judge, Jury and Executioner


'Stern Ern'


 Introducing 'Stern Ern'. One of the secondary characters from my new in progress comic 'Sabel'. Ern is the main characters protector and carer, he's a lawman and a fierce gunslinger, anyone who faces Ern in a shoot out best be prepared, he won't go down easy and is nigh impossible to kill.

Dark Faun


Red Ape

                 
                  I wish red gorillas were a thing.

Pink Stag

           
                  Playing around with patterns again.

Ocean Dreams


Colourful death

 
   Really happy with this one, might have to redraw it and get it
   printed as some stickers!

Inked and Loaded


Riot Bot


Space Corpse

                 
                  Going for a more clunky spaceman this time.

Scar

             
               
My girlfriend also loves The Lion King, she said for me to draw Simba but instead I drew Scar as he's more fun to draw :)

War of beasts


 I had fun painting this one, reminds me of an epic battle between two beasts carved in stone.

Octopus Mermaid


Assembly Line


More robots! I like seeing them in a state of completion, or damaged. I think it's more visually appealing than a clean cut and polished robot.

Alien Samurai


Battle Droid

             
             Battle droids from Star wars were always my favourite droid growing up.

Tribe Queen


 I really liked designing the crown for this sketch. I felt like that was all she needed to show her power.

Bio computer


Cyborg Mermaid


Space Pirate

                 
                 Reminds me of Titan A.E.

Guilty innocence


Candyfloss serpent

     
      Another art block :)

Little alien


Lock Jaw

               
Lock Jaw was once a fine butcher bot working in the meat industry; but ever since L day his body has been taken over by a savage and morbid personality. He is now known as Carl     'Cleaver' Johnson and is wanted for multiple murder accounts.

Angel Fire

               
 Another sketch of a woman in a swimsuit, this one though I wanted her to be a bit more menacing.

Head swapper King

               
So he could reign eternal, the mighty King would pick a new sacrifice every 100 years. The chosen would be beheaded and their head would be the new ruling face of the monarchy- it is considered a great honour.

Grunt


 
Other than the Borderlands and Batman Arkham game series; Halo has to be one of my favourites, not just for the game play and character design but I love the lore.

Warlord

               
                 I loved sketching this guy; especially his helmet and oversized pauldrons.

Robotic felon


Mightier than the sword

                 
 Really happy with this design, especially how her sword is in the shape of a fountain pen nib and that she carries a pot of ink on her belt.

Sea Creature


Tribal A.I

               
 I thought it'd be cool to have an A.I that was taken from a tribesman, something to put a spin on it.

Hold the line

                 
                  Wordplay!!

Cat Mech

             
 Sometimes when I'm stuck to sketch something, I ask my girlfriend. She loves cats so I took that and sketched this weird life support- cat mech thing :) pretty happy with it and I like the idea of thrusters instead of legs.

Guardians


                  My own take on Rocket and Groot, also wordplay :)

King Toad

     
 I find myself always making up stories and backstories for things; I really like folklore tales and fairy tales, it's a great well of resource.

Manufactured

                 
                 I love putting blue and orange together!

Green Griffin


There's so much great stuff in mythology that's great when thinking of something to draw. It's   something I've always been interested in.

VR Hearts

               
 With the rise of VR I think society will become more closed off than it is already.

Step into the ring

               
 I like mixing up the themes for my sketches to help make them more interesting, without over killing it, for example a demon sumo wrestler.

Reanimated

               
 I prefer the way old, clunky tech looks so I always adopt that into my style when I can; tubes, wires, dials etc it's all good.

Halloween :3

               
 For a Halloween piece, I thought a goblin riding a pumpkin monster would suffice :)

Brainfreeze

             
               Another Work inspired Piece.

Undead Ruler

             
               Undead Kings anyone??

Anytime

             
Always been a fan of Predator :) but Xenomorphs are still my favourite, still need to sketch one at some point.

Reconnaissance Robot

               
The best thing about robots is that they're machines, they don't have to conform to anatomy rules especially if they're built for specific purposes. for example this guy is a reconnaissance bot, I took inspiration from a snail as he can extend and retract his neck.

Witchcraft

               
This one was inspired a bit by Kiki's Delivery Service. I like the idea of a cute witch as opposed to the stereotype hag witch, but that would be fun to draw too!
