Vampire Vixens of the Wehrmacht

Adalinda Sturmengel

This is my entry for an art challenge on the Vampire Vixens of the Wehrmacht facebook page. Vampire Vixens was a very short lived comic strip in the 8 issue run of british comic 'Wasted'. It was only in 2 issues and I missed it at the time but luckily it's being brought back as a comic in its own right later this year. I can't wait, it's a fully painted comic with amazing art by Alex Ronald and written by the mysterious Emperor (who wierdly is a follower on my blog! ).

Who goes there? Friend or foe?

Sergeant Major Morris - from 'The Bonehill Curse' by Jon Mayhew

Another go at a character from 'The Bonehill Curse'. Interestingly Sergeant Major Morris also appears in another great creepy story, the classic 'The Monkey's Paw' by W.W. Jacobs. After drawing him I realised he is basically Grandpa Potts from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang played the late great Lionel Jeffries. The Bonehill Curse is full of fantastic characters, I already know what I'm going to draw next.

Zaakiel is free!  from 'The BoneHill Curse' by Jon Mayhew

My first go at illustrating a character from a recent book I read, 'The BoneHill Curse' by Jon Mayhew. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of YA horror/fantasy or just likes a good adventure yarn. (By the way if you're not a fan of YA horror/fantasy, why not? It's really good. YA is young adult in case you didn't know.)

Exciting News ... well exciting for me anyway

I've been given what is my first proper assignment illustrating! I'm going to illustrate a small book of short stories all of which are going to be written by well known authors in the YA horror/fantasy field. It will be 5 or 6 illustrations all horror related. I'm really excited about doing it. I don't have the full details at the moment and don't want to/ can't say much more at the moment in case I jinx it/give too much away. I'm putting my comic on hold for now as I want to practice doing some pictures from books that Ive already read which I'll be posting here on my blog.

Sky Rider

I've tried this with a different background and a closer crop. I think it would look good with a more stylised background but I've not thought it through yet. I'm going to leave it for a while and maybe come back at a later date.

Rocket Girl

I've probably got a bit more to do on this, can't quite decide. Got a a bit of a block on it for a while but I think it's starting to come together now. Not sure about the exploding planet either. Thinking I might change it from outer space to a nice blue sky?

Psychics .. now with colour!
