Encounters from beyond

I will confess, aliens leave me bewildered. It's as if all the good designs have been taken and anything I try and attempt to design I am hesitant. I either think I'll create something overly complicated or something too simple that it's boring.

It's a conundrum.

I've even been looking at everyday household objects to find interesting shapes to model aliens on.

This for example is based on our Sky remote control. It's a working design for a 'space elf'.

Another thing I find myself doing is giving my aliens a chicken like body. :I Yeah, like that'll go down well.

"AH! A BIG SCARY... oh sh*t it's just a weird looking chicken. Oddly similar to the last one you just blew up."

Anyways, I guess the only remedy IS just to keep looking around for unusual shaped objects and different animals other than chickens...

Ah. This looks a bit better. Alright, not the most original looking alien in the world, yes, I'll work on that. But I wanted to visualize a confrontation. Or the cause. Whatever, there'll be a little rough housing with a 7 foot alien. What am I on about? There'll be a lot a rough housing with aliens of all sorts every now and again. Of course. And maybe the odd few chickens if we're lucky.

I'm sorry, I'm under the influence of a cold right now and I can't stop thinking about chickens, what is wrong with me?

Mother's Day

OK, so it's a little off-beat. But it's indirectly related. After all, if it wasn't for Jack, no Space Officer Triggs. :B
So I painting I did for Mother's Day tomorrow. We got Jack on a Mother's Day in 2008 which was the 2nd of March, so that's technically his birthday, but we dediced to make him a Mother's Day dog, so his birth date changes every year! I suppose it's kinda fun that way.


We got him doggy chocolates. And maybe we'll pick up a bit of doggy beer tomorrow if we can.


Here's the reference photo I used. It was taken just the Christmas gone.

OK, so I like to put ribbons in my male dog's hair.

Happy Mother's Day! (for tomorrow!) XD

Pope John Paws

Don't be abusing animals. Be a Pope John Paws. <3


Seriously, stop the madness people. It's horrible. :C

Let's cross section.

He's actually ugly on the inside. XD

They're warming up now.

Guess what. I've been working on new reference pictures. Even a whole main cast line up depicting full body images and height differences. Something I really oughta have honed by now but to no avail. 

In the upcoming months, I hope to release the concepts to the pilot episode VERMILLION, and hoping to get this series to some type of kick start.

Y'know... I was asked about the demographic for this comic. Shonen? Shojo?

No.

I'm actually not going in the manga direction with this one to be honest. Like, in terms of genre type thingamajigs.

The one word I now prefer to refer to this comic as is 'masala'. 

Only because I found out it's a genre of sorts whilst the prime is being action (Bollywood, yes, gah, what like) and it means mixture... something I want to do with this series. I want each story to vary.

I just like the word 'masala' in all fairness and sounds pretty neat. :'D
