Crowman is Finished!

At last!I'm feeling pretty good about C2D4 Comics, and artwork, and, well...comics matters in general really!

In just under 2 months Martin and I have completed issue # 1 of Crowman, a 24 page (inc covers) black and white book, where Martin has really got into the swing of his storytelling, with his own character forming the centre of a slowly unfolding mysterious tale.

Art-wise I feel this is a progression from Chickenheads, and Jack in the Box, with my output rate increasing, and (I hope) my storytelling steadily improving. It's been really good fun taking Martin's moody script and making it come to life as images, and hopefully this is going to be well-received at Bristol, when we set up our table in just under 2 months time.

What's next? Well, I've finished CM just in time for a couple of big day-job art/ web projects, which will be keeping me pretty busy...plus Easter hols where I'll be minding the kids for a couple of weeks. I hope to start working on a personal comics/ art project 'Alameda', and also getting together with Martin to flesh out our next project 'The Hack'. I also ought to be thinking about starting either JITB or CM #2, but will probably wait until after Bristol, to gauge demand for each character.

Also my PS3 has been much neglected, with any spare monging-on-the-sofa session having been devoted to drawing Crowman. Devil May Cry 4 has been left in limbo...and this simply will not do! Time to ease off of the pressure a little, get CM printed, and also ready some promo' stuff for the convention. With 3 comics ready to sell at Bristol I think I can afford to take a more relaxed approach to the comics for a week or two!
