White Tack Monster.


I can’t really say right now why I had to make a little White Tack Monster this week (white tack being blue tack… but in white), but I thought I’d show my results here on my blog quickly anyway.

White Tack is great for making little models, I’ve found, but you lose a lot of the shape and details when you handle it, which ain’t so good.

I also wish I could say what kind of monster I was going for with this little model, so folks could judge how well I did, but for now it will have to remain a mystery. I can give people zero clues.

Hike Of Horror.


Things are moving along pretty well on SLASH-UPS: Volume 2 for the moment. There’s been a few setbacks in the last couple of weeks, the biggest being one of my flash-drives becoming corrupted and me losing some important artwork files (that was a depressing and dark moment).

One nice thing that happened last week while out on a hike (pretty much the day after the horrible incident with the faulty flash-drive, in fact), was I came across this awesome boggy swamp while on my travels. It’s located just on the way into a local Nature Reserve, and looked both stunning and creepy in the bright sunlight. I’m now currently just trying to think how I could use this new found gift from the Gods in a future pin-up, maybe? I’m also planning on trying to take some more photos of local spots that might make good backdrops for horror pics this summer, as well as flirting with the idea of trying to do some in a famous local haunted cave. Eek!

Both Beautiful And Deadly.


It’s been way too long since we’ve had any Yana on this blog, so allow me to put that right today. Of all the monsters I’ve ever created as a horror comic book artist, she’s still my favourite.

So to celebrate that, here’s a work-in-progress shot of Yana in profile, looking both beautiful and deadly.

Falling Shotgun In Ink.


More falling shotgun action to start the week. This time inked.

For something that wasn’t part of the original design, and was just drawn in at the last minute, it’s probably one of my favourite parts of the image now.

I’m now debating whether to add ‘motion blur’ during colouring, or if that will ruin the lovely linework?
