The strip follows Henry and his 'unique' friend Monkey as they go about changing the world. The strips are designed to work both as single gags on their own, but also develop together as an extended tale and entice the reader to return to the comic like a soap opera. Something l thought was missing from the current disposable wasteland of commercial cartoons being published. (Generally comics these days l find to be just throw away one-liners, which is why l think they've been de-valued and their page sizes steadily decreased over the years.)<br /><br />This sample is one of the first strips l wrote while l was still developing the characters and the greater plot line.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdUmt2lmxjFy56-qnallBjZYxPz4U2HdjsgJn_zUg7KlSrx4u3LV7Lj2hmOJnDKjUf2mVfwMNud9alZFcUkUfyZMd9HcStUJ6xuIQJGe1KWcPirAAJlog0GpOB0J7tpq6q_mnx/s1600-h/Henryville_08_004_Blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 146px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdUmt2lmxjFy56-qnallBjZYxPz4U2HdjsgJn_zUg7KlSrx4u3LV7Lj2hmOJnDKjUf2mVfwMNud9alZFcUkUfyZMd9HcStUJ6xuIQJGe1KWcPirAAJlog0GpOB0J7tpq6q_mnx/s320/Henryville_08_004_Blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377419752473818226" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">(Click on the strip to see a larger, readable, version.)</span><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22071582.post-23836646722986623412009-08-14T09:49:00.003+10:002009-08-14T09:58:37.142+10:00Quack QuackThis is a section of an illustration l did a couple of months ago.

The 3 images were done pretty quickly to make the deadline and l wasn't completely happy with how they turned out in the end. I do like this Duck though, l thought the illustration style worked ok here.<br /><br />Didn't get the job, so l'll be interested to see what the final illustrations look like when it comes out. I'll try to post another one or two of these soon.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7GTKp5qHpGdrtipvoTfj70w_llxqLFfQl0WkwIUwoYNJFGsZgWotdewV-8Eg0dJA8GPdtYSPIK0l6ad_qOmZ5jiSCb4QwAjAxMfge4_VanXaVFsnuztdpWWhdeS0R7gGI3BvO/s1600-h/Q_Duck_Blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7GTKp5qHpGdrtipvoTfj70w_llxqLFfQl0WkwIUwoYNJFGsZgWotdewV-8Eg0dJA8GPdtYSPIK0l6ad_qOmZ5jiSCb4QwAjAxMfge4_VanXaVFsnuztdpWWhdeS0R7gGI3BvO/s320/Q_Duck_Blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369601773722592482" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22071582.post-73394094363942855292009-05-27T11:53:00.002+10:002009-05-27T12:59:06.157+10:00Coming Soon ....The blog has just had its 4000th visitor!!

I've always found it to be painful and set up badly for painting compared to Painter which is what l've always used for my digital paintings. The brushes are average, the smudge tool is annoying and there's no shortcuts for changing brush size. So when l found a Pshop painting tutorial on Dice Tsutsumi's site l had to try.<br /><br />The apple was my first attempt, and then l tried to use the process on one of my own designs.

I wrote my ill-fated story "The Muha Monster" sometime last year and put together a package to send around to a few publishers. I kind of hurried it a little because l was so eager and that showed by the fact that it hasn't yet been picked up. When l get some time l'm planning on revisiting it and working out a few of the kinks, but in the meantime here's the first test illustration l did for it. This is actually still a WIP - the intention is to have the illustration span both pages and the text will be worked into a large tree trunk on the left (It's unlikely l'll get to this anytime soon though, ...)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirD_lW3aLZy3Yc4eqcfzBQD8GYzSRck0B18skaPt3EP0VZHyc_jLjPWflb4THcR2KLvFljHWFEo9ATWP9ysGuWFUUyDFaimZVOMoge8JCifzN6_-ivqPRpBtt11VVF_QxyvVkU/s1600-h/Muha_TreesFinal_PageSpread.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirD_lW3aLZy3Yc4eqcfzBQD8GYzSRck0B18skaPt3EP0VZHyc_jLjPWflb4THcR2KLvFljHWFEo9ATWP9ysGuWFUUyDFaimZVOMoge8JCifzN6_-ivqPRpBtt11VVF_QxyvVkU/s320/Muha_TreesFinal_PageSpread.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278362554253029282" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
