Cú Chulainn

A pinup I did based on the main character from Will Sliney’s just-announced comic project; ‘Celtic Warrior: Cú Chulainn’ (based upon the exploits of one of the most famous of Ireland’s mythological figures).

Shock. HORROR.

What's this? A-An...update? Yeah, hello there. I've been letting my little corner of the web gather a bit of digital dust for far too long now so I thought what better way to update than to show you my latest bit of comic work? The following page was written, yet again, by the shifty looking Dave Hendrick. He gave me a choice of three scripts and I chose this one because it was silly, allowed me to draw cool looking future tech and it reminded me of the best of 2000AD's classic 'Future Shock' stories. So, yes, here you go. I do have a version with the text added and what-not but you're just going to have to wait a bit longer before you get to see that -- I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise now, would I?

ARGH

This page should have been a doddle, it should have been plain sailing but noooooo, my Mac decided it was going to crash the hell out of Photoshop when I least needed it, resulting in me turning the air a particularly cruel shade of blue. I bought this bloody machine so I wouldn't have to deal with shite like this. Ah well, I gain some satisfaction knowing that getting these pages completed on my other laptop would have been nigh-on impossible, not without taking major shortcuts anyways.

After all that, I decided today I'd show you the full page rather than the usual one panel preview. Eh, I'm feeling generous!

DOCTOR TENTAKLE!!!

Page 4's colours are done. So, as per usual, here's a panel taken from the page for your viewing pleasure.

This was definitely my favourite page to colour so far. I'm sure the fact that my art on this page was a tad more refined than the previous ones (thus making colouring the page easier) had a major part to play. Then again, this page has some kick arse moments too -- I mean, who wouldn't enjoy colouring a panel involving a pissed off, multi-tentacled fella with lots of science type doo-hickies in the background? Exactly.

Anyways, enjoy!
