New Webcomic: Auntie Rebecca's Triple Sons

Greetings everyone!

Today I'll be introducing the Webcomic that I informed you all about back in January. It took a while to make it but it was worth every moment and I can't wait to show you.

I've decided to post it this month as a celebration of Black History Month in the UK. The first part of the Web-comic will be about Leticia and Derek.

Here are two drawings that I did of these two characters a couple of months ago:

It will be updated every Monday, starting from today:

Have a brilliant week everyone! :)

Fan Art Friday: Little Bill and April from Little Bill by Bill Cosby and Dorothy Wayneright and Rodger Smith from Big O by Chiaki J. Konaka and Webcomic Update:

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today, I'll be showing you two fan arts, one of them is an anime and the other is a cartoon. It also in book form too.

The first fan art is of Little Bill and April from the cartoon series Little Bill by Bill Cosby. This is another series that I spotted during my teens. It was shown on Nick Jr. I thought that this series was really interesing. The stories were great and also the background music was Jazz. You would have heard a lot of it. It sounded cool. Another thing that sparked interest was that Little Bill talked with the audience. That do not usually happen but he seems really cool. I couldn't help but hug him. Although April was bossy she still was a great sister too. I really enjoyed this series. There was the books that were written by Bill Cosby, I admit I haven't read them but I think they have the same spark as the series too. ;) :

The second and final fan art for today, is of Dorothy Wayneright and Roger Smith from the anime Big O by Chiaki J. Konaka. This series was another show that I saw in my teens. I remember recording the series and giving it to a great friend too. ;) It was hugely based on old films from the west in the 1950's and 1960's. It was mainly a detective story and Roger Smith was a negotiator. There was also a noir feeling to the series too. Dorothy is an Android and she is the side-kick to Roger Smith. The Big O theme song was awesome. I loved it so much. It was was created by Rui Nagi and it certainly drew me to watch the series. It fitted the series very well. The series was itself was produced by Sunrise and there was twenty-six episodes altogether.:

Webcomic Update: The webcomic that I mentioned to you in late January will be up on Monday. Although the welcome front cover is up right now. There will be a mini-welcome front cover up on Sunday before the first comic page on Monday. There will be a post here about it on Monday too.

There will be more fan art next week thank you for visiting and please comment.

Three Year Anniversary in Job and Initial Sketches for Manga Jiman Competition 2013

Hello Everyone! Today marks three years since I have been working as an Event Steward. To celebrate I created this digital drawing. This sketch was created during the second to last week of September, then edited on Photoshop:

Along side this drawing there was going to be a short silent story about one of the experiences that I had while in this job. But I couldn't do it since I have my Manga Jiman competition entry complete. So I felt that it would be better to show you the initial skteches for each of the characters that will be in the comic:

Here are the first initial sketches of the main character Laeticia:

* This is the chosen character design for the main protagonist Laeticia. Here are the facial expressions of this sketch:

The next main protagonist was the senior doctor Derek. This character I felt was very very difficult to do, the facial features were OK, but what I felt that was difficult was to find a suitable hairstyle for him. I did a couple while standing at the bus stop on the way home from church, the remainder of these sketches took place while I was at my lunch break at work and also during the train ride home. 

In total I made about twelve sketches, here it is:

From the sixth character design I created facial expression for each of them:

* The chosen character and facial design indicated here was at first going to be the chosen image. It was heavily influenced after I watched this cologne advertisement, while waiting for some music videos to appear. I was mesmerised on how this guy looked and  I felt he looked quite sleek. When I completing the sketches I decided to say 'No' because I felt the hairstyle was commonly used. I was left gutted decided to choose the last character design.

**After completing each character and facial expression, this chosen image which will be how Derek will be depicted I felt was the right one.

Only one character and facial expression design for one of the character Cain is shown here:

The final character for this Manga Jiman entry is the character SelenaMay:

*The initial sketch here is the chosen character for the manga. Here is the facial expressions:

I'm currently nearly finishing the comic in pencil. By the end of this week the pages will be inked and imported to photoshop for the next stages. 

Fan Art Friday: Stephanie from The Parisian's Return by Julia Stagg and Janice from Princess Prince by Tomoko Taniguchi

Hello Everyone, Happy October, Happy Black History Month and Happy Fan art Friday! Today I'll be showing another two fan arts that were previously drawn as sketches, with a 0.5 Pen. The were modified and changed on Photoshop. I created and used screen-tones to add effect and I have to say they look pretty cool.

In the UK right now is Black History Month and within the community libraries within my area as well as museums, have come together to create a few events that will be taking place. I will no doubt be turning up to some of these and most probably report on what happens. I'll select a few and see if I can turn up if work doesn't get in the middle of it. I thought that I should draw Janice from the shoujo manga Princess Prince by Tomoko Taniguchi. A great friend of mine back in my mid-teens recommend manga to me and I've been reading since. I borrowed this manga from her and I read and LOVED it.
Janice arrives within a fantasy kingdom of the two main protagonist where one is a price and the other is also a prince but has to dress up like a princes. The reasons why this happens I cannot reveal; you'll have to find and read the manga to find out. Janice's arrival was really awesome. Also I loved this part of the story a lot more, considering that this was the start of the seeing Black characters in comics:

The final drawing for today is Stephanie from the novel The Parisian's Return by  Julia Stagg. This is the second book of the Fogas Chronicles that she has created and I have to say I absolutely loved it. I met Julia at 'The France Show'. This was an event that took place at Earl's Court earlier this year. I worked as a event steward and the company that I work for provided security for the show. The event was absolutely brilliant too! I loved how they put the flags of France on the top of the entrance of the show. It made me feel that I was steeping into another world. During my break I browsed around and spotted a book shelf of books about France and language packs about French. While looking at one of her novels she approached and spoke to me. She was really nice and gave me three postcards of her books, since I couldn't decide which one I could by. The Parisian's Return was the one I chose. Since I enjoyed reading this novel I thought I'd draw one of the characters who is the one of the main protagonists in the novel. I'm really impressed of how this picture came out.:

I'll most probably do some more character drawings from these novels. There's the third novel called 'The French Postmistress' which was out this year and the first novel called 'L'Auberge' which I'll be reading very soon. (I loaned it from my local library.) \(^o^)/

There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting! Please leave a comment and have a amazing October!
