Zomboy in Aussiebums!


I did this for an Aussiebum competition, but I misread the details and missed the deadline, so I'm putting it on here so that it wasn't a total waste of three hours!!! I hope you like it, it was fun to do!

The Flash!


Just a little sketch of The Flash, which I did while watching Desperate Houswives earlier on. He isn't a character I've ever really been a fan of, but I picked up the first issue of his new ongoing series, and really enjoyed it. Now I want to buy Flash: Rebirth, by the same writer, because I think I could really get to like this guy! I hope you like this picture, I do! As a little side-note, my boyfriend has a major imaginary crush on The Flash! ;D

Crimson Iris cover thoughts...


This is the cover for one of my Crimson Iris stories, although I'm not sure which yet. I really love the typefaces I used on this, but since getting them my computer had a big old breakdown, so I don't have them any more, and can't remember where I got them! Grrrr. The image itself worked exactly as I wanted it to, a mix of comic drawing and photography that stops it being too 'super-hero-y' and, I think, is suggestive of the moral grey area occupied by the protagonist. As far as using this piece goes, I think it will suit the first CI story well - in it we do not see Iris in her costume until at least halfway through, and the anticipation is built by occasional glimpses of a gloved hand or a spiky boot. To have a plain picture of her on the cover would seem to undermine the reveal page at the story's climax. Let me know what you think of this image, I always love feedback, good or bad!
