Several bike rides and a dog walk

  Hello all.

 I drew and inked this one yesterday. Thats my wonderful K downstairs coughing and limping her way through the evening. Excellent chat with R and a splendid way to do notes has been discovered!

Barking Munkjacks in the night

  Morning all.

  So living in the middle of nowhere does occasionally have its drawbacks, last night around 3am we had a very loud barking contest between a munkjack that had wandered into the garden and Honey who was defending her territory. So I'm somewhat tired this morning, the ever so wonderful K is out with the ever excited Honey wandering along a beach somewhere.

 Yesterday I had a blemish on my face checked out which turned out to be nothing to worry about but because I was such a brave boy I got to visit a Library, enjoy a magnum bar and visit an antique shop (K's idea not mine) which made yesterday very special indeed.

 Blasting through T's latest pages, I found a look I really like for one of the main characters which means going back into Ps and working on altering her look slightly. I tried using my X PEN and it didn't work! My laptop is getting on in years and doesn't really do updates anymore so either the system doesn't support the drivers or the drivers are corrupted or it's something else entirely I need a new laptop. Bum.

 Its the last games of the season today so I'll sit and draw out the remaining pages for T while listening to the footy.

 Here's a T page.

An early start!

 Morning all!

 So I took the every beautiful K's morning wander with the the ginger one to allow K to get some snoozing done.

 I finished a page last night and watched some Fargo. But I needed to doodle so using my Indian knock off Bics which leak ink everywhere and every time I use them, but for £3 for a box of them I'm willing to take all the risks. All just random faces and not very good ones at that!

 Anyway have a lovely end to the week.

Snoozing pupper at my feet

 Hello all.

 So thats this mornings wander over, the weather changed mid-way through the walk leaving me slightly chilled. Honey as is her want, hoovered her food up including all her dry food and is now napping at my feet. She's a good lass when not chasing rabbits, deer, pheasents and foxes!

 Some teen drama yesterday but My ever so limpy K managed a little stroll with the gal so the day ended on a bright note.

 Here's a page that just doesn't work for me, it needs background characters and type and possibly re-drawn in its entirity.

 Can't all be winners but I do get to move onto a better page today.

 Have a super day.

Horrible drawing day

  Evening all!

 So I had a crappy doodling day, I tried at least 5 versions of the same pose which kicked my arse. Drawing sometimes sucks.

 Here's a crappy sketch.

Sunny wander

  Hello all.

 I hope you'll join with me and wish my old mam a Happy Birthday!

 Lovely sunny day Honey and I saw some deer and snoops romping around the fields. 

 My ever so lovely K has finally got me a doctors appointment to see about a mole (pfft)! She looked incredibly smug. She's a horror, an out of control horror!!

 Here's a doodle.

Bit of a panel

  Evening all!

 Had a couple of lovely wanders with the lass and doodled the below.

Fallen Soilder

  Hello all.

 I'm totally in love with the four pencil extenders that I bought, they allow me to get more use out of the colour pencils that I use when planning out the comics and general doodles that I do.

 It's sunny and Honey has chased 2 deer out of the garden and I have finally made use of the post box outside, I'll get to work after the latest Dolan video which for once has been interesting.

 Have a great day.

Doodles

  Hello all!

 So once again it's Sunday and behind on work, I'll be doing some drawings for the latest Crimsisters during the footy.

 Had a delight hearing my old mate Gary on this podcast talking about his life in NY. I doubt this link will work but give it a go https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ausl%C3%A4nder-sessions/id1665476960?i=1000610285235

 Here's a doodle sheet working with a red stub of a pencil and a pocket brush.

 Have a super day.

Hobbling K!

  Hello all!

 So my utterly wonderful but ever so complex K is still laid up and grumbling about it. We managed to watch two episode of Citadel last night and it was dreadful!

 Big day of footy so I'll be listening to that as well as trying to work up the enthusiasm to do some work.

 Have a great weekend.

Todays panel

  Hello all!

 So my beautiful K is still recovering and attempting to hop around without the crutches (Knob)!

 Anyway here's a panel from FoG. I'm enjoying trying to figure all the panels and working with S.

 Have a super day!

Bank Holiday part 2

  Hello all.

 So the rest of Monday afternoon and evening we spent in a hospital A+E department being seen by many splendid doctors and nurses. My quite wonderful K fell off a curb!! The resulting chaos has left my beautiful lass on crutches and in a la bit of pain.

 Total stinker!

 Here are some character concepts for some throw away characters in a couple of panels in the upcoming Crimsisters #2

 Have a great day.

Bank holiday Monday

  Hello all.

 Here's a page of thumbnails of #2 of Crimsisters. I enjoyed doing #1 and the client is a blast to hang out with. 

 LFC are chasing down 4th with stinky Man U starting to get the jitters.

 Got a great cozy for FREE yesterday and it's promising to be a corker.

 My wonderful K and I had a bike ride yesterday and tomorrow we're taking the Ginger loon to the vets (if the beautiful K can get the smell of exploding milk out of the car before we go, both Honey and K will be covered in puke if I have to get into a car with a smell), for hopefully the last time. 

 Have a great day.

Thundering Friday!

  Hello all!

 It's dark and rainy here and after realising I'm skint I'm now drawing FoG.

 I hope you're enjoying a super week. Honey's still in the cone of shame after being spayed last week, we're on walks so short they don't count.

Phone call from NY!

  Hello all!

 As I write this Everton are losing and I'm listening to the Clapton led version of While my Guitar Gently Weeps with Ringo on the drums.

 R rang just to say he's busy!

 He's a screen shot of me trying to work out a panel.

 Have a great day/evening/week/month
