Ex Machina

I never really got to grips with the ex-machina series, I've read a few Trade collections, but I wasn't sure. They reminded me of the old 2000AD series MACH1, and Angel, the first "Man Activated by Compupuncture Hyperpower" was a Bionic man imitation. he second, about a pilot who has his plane's  circuitry imprinted on him in an accident, and can jump off walls and stuff..
anyway.
Here's  my attempt for this weeks 10 ton studio sketch challenge.
Ex Machina.

Superheroes

Sat watching Bourne film, and "in Bruge" last night, and scribbling in the sketch book.

From my sketch book

A week in Bude, sitting on the beach gave plenty of time to sketch... here's a few pages from my sketch book.

Bullseye

Holiday meant no computer, so no scanning of pics, and no chance to enter the 10t sketch challenge last week.
I did have my sketch book with me though, and had a go at the Bullseye challenge. I'm prepped for the "Ex Machina" challenge this week, as it's bank holiday, and I have a little spare time.

Super Fogeys


Posted on behalf of Brock...
If you've never read the SuperFogeys or it's been a while since you have, now's the time to check it out! Launched in September of 2006, the SuperFogeys has steadily developed into a hilarious and dramatic saga that's far and away from its gag-a-day roots. Throughout its nearly four-year run, one villain has loomed over the residents of Valhalla-Home for the Supertired more than any other, the Third Man. We now know he's secretly Dr. Klein, the founder of Valhalla, but what does he want? Who is he, really? And how do Spy Gal, Captain Spectacular, Swifty, Dr. Rocket and all the rest fit into his plans?

Everything has been leading up to the bomb creator Brock Heasley will be dropping on Thursday, August 19th. Early reactions to the revelation (by those lucky few) have varied from "That's a total mind screw" to "Holy Sh---!" (Okay, so that's not a lot of variety. Reactions are pretty much the same across the board!)

To celebrate, SuperFogeys will be running four updates August 16th-19th, Monday-Thursday. Then, in the week after that (after everyone's had a chance to calm down!), seven consecutive daily updates August 23rd-29th, Monday-Sunday. 

It's time to catch back up with SF. What are you waiting for?

Walking Dead

This week the 10t Sketch Challenge is "the walking dead", a zombie comic, that is unremittingly bleak.
Just read vol11, and things are grim, grimmer than grim.
Anyway, here's my attempt, at Carl, the young boy who's grown up with all this horror.
