i finished that picture and it didnt take 20 years or even 10 it took a week go to the cul de sac blog to see the fan art i did for that http://richardspooralmanac.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00-
ive been practicing with water colours a lot lately and theyre great fun this is an upside down picture of half of an upsidown haunted house it was heaps of fun to draw . another water colour painting i did was fan art for richard thompson who dose cul de sac he said he will put it on his blog so if he dose follow this link or even if he dosnt his blog is very entertaining http://richardspooralmanac.blogspot.com/ my favorite thing about this haunted house pic was the dracula cause he was the funnest to paint but you can only see half of him here. the bloated purple thing hanging above the man is suposed to be a spiderit looks more like one if you can see the whole thing. and yes the thing in the mirror is suposed to be you but cause its upside down it defeats the whole purpose of it it would help if it looked more like a mirror instead of a window or maybe that makes it more scary ... my final word about this picture is its not finished doing the individual charectars is fun but i moved house and forgot to do a nice grey wash over the back ground and i dont feel like it any more keep reading this blog though cause in 20 years time i may get around to finishing it . ps dose any one know how to send fan art to lincoln peirce i did one for him too
here is the carl craig book cover i made a while agoe the title is carl craig and friends i didnt know about the book big nate and friends when i made this so i copied it by accident u could say or you could even say they copied me but that would be lieing here is the rest of the cover . i sold this book at an arts trail and at the same time i sold an original of a single panal comic i did i no longer have a copy of it but i might redo it one day tell me what you think of the cover i spent ages practicing getting spots back legs just right as i usually draw him allways sitting so walking and jumping are hard but i think i nailed it
HERE IS A PENCILL SKETCH OF THE CHARECTAR I MENTIONED LAST TIME . he is a cat a bit of a pompus gentelman but also feral and very hardy he lives in a dumpyard some of the names ive cosidered are ferdanando ferdenand florenzo magellen fabian reagan bewulf or leonardo whats your favorite can you come up with any better ones put your comment down below and i might pick it
the reason ive stopped doing carl craig is cause i felt the charectars
didnt have enuf personelety im working on another strip at the moment but progress is slow mainly cause i cant come up with a name for the main charectar dose anyone know any spainish mexican or russian names as i think one of that catogory would suit him . heres a sneack peek of one of the other charectars tell me what you think this is not the one i cant get a name for this is a tame rat named at first ernest but then is given the name toast by the charectar whos name i cant come up with at the bottem of this post . is a picture of toast dreaming hes riding on a hairy pink snake thing TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK IN THE COMMENTS no its not crazy hair day but i decided to draw a sad guy and a happy guy but i got WAY over boared on their hair the sad guy has a candel and a load of mess the happy guy has a water fountain a bird cage beard and a cannon mostache . i was also really happy with the sad guys shoes
right at the top are richard tompson, charles shultze and bill waterson . its thanks to charles shultze i cecame interested in comics in the first place . my friend had some peanuts reprint books and i used to allways go to his place to read them then i started collecting them myself and at the moment i have azactly 77 of them . other early influences were the beano a british comic magizene i perfered the older beano annuals and my oldest one is from 1953 http://www.beano.com/ . and ive allways been a big fan of asterix and tin tin . the only comics in our paper are doonsbury and dilbert my 2 least favorite so its been more recently i discovered the online comics . more later maybe here is todays single panal comic i will try post one with every blog entry . enjoy
