Perspective


I love using perspective, even though it takes bloody ages, it can be really satisfyng building up a scene. I remember reading in a book on it ages ago that with two-point perspective neither of the points should be in the scene. Like some rules this will just stick in my brain and I'll always work to it. Anyway on my latest job I've been mucking about with the angles to jazz it up a bit and have started putting one of the points in the panel!!!

I've noticed you can get away with it if the points are far enough away and the point that's in panel is close to one of the edges., otherwise you start to get nasty distortion.

If anyone is still awake.....

New Strip

Just got my copy of the latest Meg with my new strip in. Bit gutted tho as the printing has come out a bit odd, there's a funny fuzz arround the linework like it's been resized too much and a moire pattern on the tone. Probably my fault for sending in the files fulsize 600dpi. I did the tone on computer too so thought that would be alright.
It's annoying cos it took me ages and now feels like a bit of a waste of time...... ah well c'est la vie I guess.

more sketches


I'm working on an educational strip in the day at the mo. Whilst it's quite fun to do nothing really beats sci-fi for me so here's some stuff from my spare time. They're only taking about 15 mins or so a panel so I may do some more.
