“Fragment” – an unfinished pitch

June 25, 2009

A while back, before I had two rockin’ regular comic  jobs I was playing around with a couple of ideas.  This is a page from an unfinished pitch for a teenage boy’s magazine.  It doesn’t really show that the strip is a sci-fi action chase story, but it is nicely drawn I think!I was so excited about this, as it’s an idea I came up with in college 17 years ago, and it reflects the exact comic attitude and imagination I had at that age.

I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome this comic would be.  My vision of the future is the best.  Not a computer or holographic user interface in sight – just Australia as it is, but exaggerated by 250%, and with heavily armed postal vans, bus chases, destruction and flying eye-ball ships manned by renegade freak convicts from the moons of Jupiter.  Maybe after Stinky 10 I will turn my attention to this.  I really have to restrain myself from going on and on about it, and telling you why it’s so awesome.  Why won’t you believe me.

Tales 195: The Making Of…

These images are squashed to fit, so right click and select “View image” to see them in their proper dimensions!

Here is Tales 195 half pencilled out…The heart was the best thing so I inked that in.  I highlight mistakes in green, and as you can see I have already made two!

A few frames inked in…

95% of it inked in… I used Edward Cullen as the model for the mean guy’s face.

Here it the final version scanned and coloured!  Note the half-hearted attempt at drawing David Blumenstein in frame 2.  From start to finish, this would have taken me about 9 hours.  I don’t know why Tales takes me so long to draw!
