It’s quite hard for me to draw Tom Strong, and not to just unconciously channel Chris Sprouse’s iconic style.

The Tom Strong comics are great by the way, if you haven’t read them.

I felt I should probably follow up my recent Caesar pic with one on the Ides of March. I hope I can get round to colouring it eventually.

When I feel my confidence as an artist is at a low point, I doodle the thing, which cheers me up.

Love drawing him in street clothes.

Fancied drawing roman armour

Fancied drawing something silly.

It’s inspired by the xmen’s new costumes.

Sorry for not posting for so long! I do lurk on here a lot, but didnt have anything I could share. I had some big big freelance work fall into my inbox. In other news, I’ve started some comics practice. Done from Mark Waid’s DD script.

Still working on my comic, so sorry for not posting much recently.

A piccy of Gandalf, when he was known as Olorin, before he came to Middle Earth.

I’ve drawn Olorin before but it got deleted in the great December purge. I was never very happy with how it turned out, so I decided to have another go at it. Started by digging out my copy of the Silmarillion, which says:

Wisest of the Maiar was Olorin. Though he loved the Elves, he walked among them unseen, or in form as one of them, and they did not know whence came the fair visions or the promptings of wisdom that he put into their hearts.

It also says that he liked to hang out in the forests of Valinor, so I figured that I’d do that most unusual of things and actually put a background in.  Then I sketched the figure out, and took some inspiration for the face from pictures of Ian McKellen when he was young.  

This was fun to draw.
