There Are 6 DAYS LEFT And The Project Is Only Two-thirds Funded! So To Get You Guys Hyped Up, Here Are

There are 6 DAYS LEFT and the project is only two-thirds funded! So to get you guys hyped up, here are a couple draft pages from the beginning of the graphic novel itself. There’s still time to make this graphic novel happen, so keep spreading the word!

These are the other half of the journal pictures from that horrible notebook. The next one I used was much nicer. I seem to have drawn a lot of plants and animals instead of people.

Also, these are events I am going to in Autumn! Inspired Comics will be at:

London MCM Expo - 26th-28th October 2012

Thought Bubble - 17th - 18th November 2012

Come and buy our comics, and see how little I resemble my self-portraits!

Sketchavember 2012 - Part 2!

11 - Chiihon, also known as 'Plant Girl' because she is a plant. A carnivorous one.

12 - Hephzibah! Finally on model! A witch from the North of England.

13 - Mirin, still not quite right. I'm trying to redesign him and I have one sketch that I like, which I'm constantly trying to replicate.

14 - Lucas again, as I was having another go at his scars. Still not right!

15 - And then I drew an alien! This is Kunin Ame (surname first) and I goofed up slightly while drawing him. His species don't quite fit into earth-based animal kingdoms, but he's loosely some kind of monotreme, so he shouldn't have a belly button.

16 - Patience! Sammy drew me a super-cute picture of her and I tried to use the same character model. It... didn't go so well.

17 - More Patience! This time I drew her in Carl's jumper.

18 - Patience once more, this time in a skirt that I want to make for myself. Oh Patience, I dress you in all the clothes I would like to have.

19 - This is BetaS15, also known as Bubbles or Bubblegum. He's a bio-android, who spent a lot of his life up to this point asleep in a vat.

20 - ...and Lillip, who has accidentally found him and woken him up. For these last two I was trying to work without guidelines.

Part 3, next week!

Sketchavember 2012 - Part 3!

21 - Meilee, my adorable and awkward factory girl. She always looks pretty gormless, because people leave you alone if they think you're an idiot.

22 - Lin, who came to the same conclusion in the boy's side of the factory. Also has the misfortune of being on the back of Jemima's page, which I shaded with markers.

23 - It got to about 11:30pm and I was falling asleep, then I remembered I hadn't done a picture, so I drew Coda falling asleep.

24 - I almost got through Sketchavember without drawing Duo again. Almost.

25 - Noone, the main character of a graphic novel which I planned and then scrapped. I still want to do something with the characters though.

26 - Haha, I tried to draw a demon but he kept going wrong, so I rubbed him out and drew an angel instead, which was a million times easier. I wonder if that says anything about my psyche.

27 - Ah, here's the demon.

28 - Having developed a character model for Hephzibah, I completely failed to make one for Gorse. Oh well.

29 - A Vrega, having a nice stretch.

30 - Last but not least, Kero. Originally he was some kind of alien that resembled a demon, but I've been thinking I might just make him a sort of feral demon instead.

And that was last year's Sketchavember! I hope you enjoyed this insight into my pathological fear of drawing anything that's not people. XD

SO EXCITED.

OKAY GUYS, HUGE NEWS! My upcoming graphic novel (based on a YA novel by Prudence Shen) NOTHING CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG, will be serialized online from now until its publication in May 2013! 

Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong is a graphic novel about two guys, Nate and Charlie, one’s a nerd, one’s a jock, but they still manage to have this weird, kind of combative friendship. Until they both get tangled up in a highly competitive school election that spirals out of control and then … well, you’ll have to read it to see. ;) This book contains ninja cheerleaders, over the top comedy and SO MANY BATTLE ROBOTS. Seriously, I was reading through it the other day and I had to draw like 50 pages of robots fighting and it is insane.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE COMIC! I would really, really appreciate it! The comic is going online with the permission of my publisher, First Second, and I’m very grateful to them for letting me share it with the internet. So, internet, please tell everyone you know of its existance! 

Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong will be updating with a page every weekday, and Prudence and I will be blogging along with the updates, giving readers insight into our creative processes and other nonsense.

Yay!!!!
