2 New Posts Today! Rejoice!

Rejoice, O ye faithful followers!

I think there may even be two of you!

First up, I've been posting that the third Slappy The Sensorite comic would be put up. Um… apparently not, as the scan of it is not on my hard drive. I'm sure it exists, though! It just means I'll have to go hunting for it. Eek!

Sorry, guys, no Slappy today. I know you'll all be crushed. Totally my bad.

However, I'm still going to do two posts, so here's a picture for the Who fans to make amends for Slappy's shyness today.

OK - heeeeeeeeeere's GLITZY!

Sabalom Glitz, as portrayed by Tony Selby and featured in the Doctor Who stories "The Trial Of A Time Lord" and "Dragonfire".
OK, that's that. The second post is my original strip and will probably be sitting on top of this post which should come first, but hey - life's a cunt like that. Yep, I said "cunt". Deal with it.

Feedback and comments always appreciated, folks! Talk to me!

Peace out!

Something New…

OK, I've had no time to really do anything this past week, and the last weekend flew by before I could sit down and really nut Night Light out further.

"Nut?"

Meh. Anyway, whilst doing my regular wanderings on busses and things I have devoted any spare collection of minutes I get to working on an original strip. It's one I've had in mind for years, and I started sketching out one scene which I knew would probably open the story. Well, I did that. And kept going.

So far, I've got about 2 installments completed. Now, this strip is quite 'rough' and there are no ruled panels and such. It's deliberately staying 'hand-drawn' and on 'impulse'. It has not been scripted, but I know where it needs to go.

Also, I've decided to avoid adding dialogue. This way, you really have to read into it. It'll be a great test to see if my images get a story across without the crutch of narrative text. I'll post the first installment up on the weekend, along with the third installment of Slappy The Sensorite. That'll be TWO new comics for you to read, my beloved fans!

SB will be a bit of a test. The story proper is going to become a graphic novel and will be re-drawn and re-structured for that. But this 'strip' version will be a good tester. I would LOVE feedback and comments on this one, guys.

Until the weekend, here's something else for you to drool over. G'on, you know you love it!


I'm still waiting for someone to give me some REQEUSTS! If there's something you want to see me do (Here! No lewd comments from you!) tell me in a comment.

Enjoy!


Peace out!

Procrastination Fascination! Slappy The Sensorite Comic #2.

OK. Yeah. So, I'm not putting Night Light up, yet. I'm not even confident about next Saturday. The artwork is done. In pencil. I've scripted part two, now, and have been procrastinating over part 3 all day today.

Scanning is an issue, at the moment as they are such large pages. So I'll have to scan each pages in 2 or 3 sections and match them up (so much work) or take a digital photo of them (so lame). If I scan, I can try scanning as "black and white" and they might look like they've been inked already! Sigh, no. Probably not. I'll probably just print them out and trace in ink onto a new page. Which means I can use the digital camera to transfer it to computer initially.
Then I can either print a 'faded' version of the work to ink directly, or just print a proper copy and ink onto a new sheet. Man, I miss the days when I was blasĂ© enough to ink straight away and skip penciling. I just feel like I'm going over the same think, again and again. Grr. Does someone want to collaborate? Please??? Anyone???!!!

:-(

OK, it'll come soon enough. Here's something to go on with:

"Slappy The Sensorite" created by H. Woods. Doctor Who is copyright BBC and Sensorites were created by  Peter R Newman. So there.
Ciao for now. Probably more Slappy on Saturday so that I can make more progress on the overall Night Light comic. Unless you demand it sooner.

You need to contact me to do that. Leave comments, feedback or requests. Don't be shy, y'all!


Peace out!

Delayed Pleasure

OK, so I lied! I didn't post yesterday, as is my regular thing. But I was busy having a life. No, really. It's Sunday night and I have just now finished the penciled artwork for Doctor Who: Night Light - Part One. Yay.

More to do, though. :-(

Anyway, Saturday was busy spent in very good company, so I don't apologise for not posting. So there!

However, to make up I will post two things! First up is an animation I made in 2007 of one of my original characters. It is a short, comedic version of a moment in this superhero's life. Well, OK, he's not so much super and maybe is really a hero by accident… Never mind! It's made and played for laughs. I hope you enjoy "the Big Bad Me!" - let me know what you think, because he's proper story will be published. I'm working on the pencil work at the moment, as well as some scripts. I have 6 issues planned, at this stage.

Following Me is a Doctor Who related 'funny' (or, rather, 'silly') which I can't remember for certain if it was published in the fanzine I worked on 10 years ago. May have been. I had completed three of them, so here is the first.

The rest of these Doctor Who 'funnies' will be printed on the 'in-between' weeks where Night Light is not being put up. Something tells me I will have to do a lot more funnies, soon. :-S

Anyway, please let me know what you think of these and if you would like to see more of either. I may put up some teaser work for The Big Bad Me! if you like. Enjoy.

The Big Bad Me! is the creation of and copyright of Harley Woods. "Grimefighting" is copyright Harley Woods 2007.

Doctor Who is copyright BBC. The Sensorites were created by Peter R. Newman.


Peace Out!

Counting Down…

Counting down until the next main update tomorrow. Yeah, I will definitely probably upload on time tomorrow. This time. Absolutely possibly maybe.

Ish.

Meanwhile here's something to muse on or fornicate over or appreciate dryly.


Somewhat inspired by Witchblade but with my own twist to it. Partly organic, partly armour, partly screwed up.

Enjoy. Peace out, y'all.

Booty Call!

Hi, y'all.

Here are more wonders from the cavernous cornucopia of creative contemplations spewed forth from my mind to my hand to the computer to your eyes for your viewing pleasure.

Comment, subscribe, request, adore, as each time before.

This is artwork for Cellblock Booty, a play created, concocted and performed by Sisters Grimm, an off-beat Melbourne theatre group. The play was brilliant, as all of their productions seem to be.

I highly recommend people go to see any of their productions if you hear about them. They have been known to perform outside of Melbourne, too, so don't fret! I believe they are on MySpace, too, so go check them out!

Peace out!

DOCTOR WHO: COVEN - part four - Finalé

Okay! So, I'm late!

But I've been so busy drawing the next Doctor Who comic that I forgot to upload yesterday. Well, I remembered at one stage, when I sat down to do the comics. But jobs around the home got in the way and I only got one page drawn, in the end. One page and no uploads. One page, no uploads, and still not ginger…

Whoops, no, never mind. Not ginger. I eat ginger, not wear it. Aaaanyway…

Below is the conclusion to Doctor Who: Coven. The next Doctor Who comic with be, as I've previously noted, an 8th Doctor comic entitled Night Light. It has a few shout-outs from the past and will eventually be part of a much bigger story, of which Coven is also a part. But all that will come in time.

Night Light won't be ready for another couple of weeks. I want to put part one up once I've made some progress on part two, which I haven't even begun beyond scene breakdowns. I suspect this story will end up quite large, but I guess we'll find out soon enough. At some point I'll need time to work on other stuff, too. I only have a very little time to myself each week (about an hour a day, apart from weekends).

However, until Night Light is put up I will still provide viewing entertainment. As noted in the last post, I may put an animation up for you next week. Maybe an animation and a short comic. I'll put short comics up every Saturday that doesn't have an installment of Night Light.

Anyway, enough of the tomorrows and back to the right now. Or, the right now that should have been yesterday. Or something.

Below is the final installment of Doctor Who: Coven. This features the 6th Doctor, as portrayed by Colin Baker and pits the Time Lord against a gang of blood-drinkers with some high-tech interests.

Doctor Who is copyright of the BBC and no profit is made from this comic. It is independently produced for entertainment (hopefully) purposes, only.

Enjoy!
