HdE's bits and pieces Options

Awright?

It's been a while since I've posted here - too much of that crazy real life stuff, and freelance biz, y'see. But it thought it might be a good idea to set up a new thread to display a few projects and things that have been getting an airing online.

For the first entry, I'd like to draw attention to some awesome work that was done for me by Mr. Phil Knott, a very talented fella indeed. He supplied the art and colours for a one pager I wrote for the Transformers Mosaic fan project. And here it is!






The project offers a great opportunity for folks to hone their skills with short comics pieces. I've learned a heck of a lot as I've pitched in on these strips, in whatever capacity. It's rare that I'll actually find time to pitch in on artwork, although I do occasionally ink and colour pieces. Mostly these days, I'm writing and lettering them, though.

There's a whole HEAP of these strips online, from a wide base of different creators. Don't let the toyline origins get in the way of enjoying them - there are some great characters and some superb stories being told with them, both officially and in fan projects like these.

Another one of my one-pagers for Transformers Mosaic. It just went up today.

Script, lettering and colours by moi, art duties by Jason Ho - who carried this one out like a trooper!

And now for something completely different:

I've been watching the TV anime 'Fist Of The North Star', which I first encountered as a kid waaaayyy back in the early 1990s. I just recently acquired the whole 152 episode run on DVD. And let me tell you, this is some GNARLY stuff.

Decided I'd have a go at re-creating the show's leading man, Kenshiro. I went for a deliberate 'anime effect' here, keeping line art skinny and the colouring bold.
