Living my dreams

I have a list of dreams and goals that I want to make happen. 2013 so far has been a special one for me as I got to live out of my dreams. It's inspired me and realize that dreams can happen if you make them happen.

So I have two paticular dreams I want to make happen:

1. Self-publish my own graphic novel
2. Go to Japan with the women I love

I was already working hard on Dream 1. However, I did take a break and now I want to keep pushing until it is completed to my own high standard.

For dream 2. I feel the signs are there that it is now or never to make this dream happen. It's time to put my foot down and start saving even if it means holding onto some extra jobs for extra cash for a while.

Quick Update - Just started inking... kinda

Still playing around with the tablet, currently inking the sketch I did yesterday. Expect many changes in time.

Tablet Test

Been playing around with a graphics tablet. This is a work in progress, just mapping out where everything goes in the drawing. This is a drawing inspired by a idea I have for web comic that I really want to do. I have quite a few ideas but this one seems the most unusual.

I'll post updates as I continue with it.

Another sketch I did on the train to Portsmouth

A losing battle against the mind

This may be a bit confusing to follow without me explaining. This is an example of how I'm often battling against my own mind which can be my worst enemy. That feeling of your mind never shutting up and constantly trying to put you down. Your trying to block out and ignore the negativity. Weird comic, and i did it in a bit of a hurry so excuse it being a rough around the edges.

I know it isn't very funny, I just liked the idea and thought it would be a good way to capture the feeling. It's pretty personal and I feel a little unsure about posting it. But here it is, me being as honest as I can.

Hot enough for you?

Quick colour experiment, trying to capture that feeling you get once you step out your front door and feel the sun hit you at full blast. I had quite a feel hiccups with this one but it was good colour experiment overall, I think orange was the way to go for a background that doesn't conflict or blend too much with cartoon version of myself in the picture. I'm struggling a little bit as I'm greatly limited on marker pens. I plan to stock up soon.

Love to hear some feedback :)

Sketches on a Train

I did a bunch of quick sketches and silly drawings on the train to Pompey today.
