SCARdiff!

I am going to be a guest at this year's SCARdiff convention on Sunday, 19th October at the Cardiff Masonic Hall... this is my second year attending this convention, and it's going to be great to be there again! I thought I would do a variant print of my RAMPAGING HULK cover, which will debut exclusively at the event. This variant features the television incarnation of the Hulk (as portrayed by Lou Ferrigno), and is based from an idea I had years ago, where I imagined Bill Bixby's David Banner turning up in a small town called Salem's Lot (yes, THAT Salem's Lot... specifically the version featured in the classic 1976 made-for-TV two-parter starring David Soul and James Mason). This image is based on that idea... hope you like it!

"Mr. Barlow... don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!"

Bad Blood... the Vampire Saga has a name at last

As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been working on my Vampire Saga story (which will be named BAD BLOOD: A VAMPIRE PROPHECY) for quite awhile now.... I first came up with the idea as a 14 year old who had been inspired by the Stephen King classic Salem's Lot, specifically the 1977 TV adaption starting David Soul and James Mason. My story has changed a lot since then, but elements from the story as written back in 1999/2000 will still be very prominent in the version that will see print. Here are some pages that I drew back then. The first one is something I'm still very proud of to this day, and hope to use somewhere in the final version. The second image is possibly the style of artwork I'll be going for... a watercolour wash, to separate it from my usual, old-school style superhero artwork. And the third, is a character design sketch for the master vampire. As it is though, I'll be doing something totally different for the main big-evil. Something totally different from any vampire ever seen before.....

The fourth image is a more recent piece featuring one of the lead-characters (the same character featured in the first piece of artwork). And believe me, this guy would eat both Team Edward and Jacob for breakfast...

Fingers crossed I'll have more to show and tell soon......
