Project 52: Week 24 - "The Cosplay Pernicket"


Too mean? : p
Thankfully I've not come across any in person, but I definitely know they exist (and have witnessed them on certain forums).

Part 4 of the Amecon poster.
Sorry, I've been a bit behind lately through preparing for the convention but I'll have plenty of time to catch up when that's
over. : )

Also, "Excuuuse me Princess" proved far too tempting.

Project 52: Week 23 - Frazzled Fursuit


Part 3 of my Amecon bestiary comic.

Seriously, I just don't know how they manage to do it. I think they store water. : D

(BTW, the speech below the Pikachu head is supposed to say "kiiiilll... meee...", but doesn't seem to have come out too well. I'll patch it up a bit later.)

Project 52: Weeks 21 and 22 - The beginnings of an Amecon comic print

For Amecon this year, I've decided to follow on from my conbook submission by doing another comic page to sell as a print, this time a convention "bestiary" of sorts. Just picture everything said in David Attenborough's voice and that's the basic idea. : D

So until then, I'm uploading ideas one by one. Numero uno:

If you've been to a convention at all, it's likely that there will have been at least one group of people sitting in a dark corner with their DSes and PSPs (and not doing much else for the duration).

Second for today:
'Nuff said really!

(anyone not familiar with Japanese rock bands, check out visual kei for majorly androgynous dudes that make anime hairstyles look easy)

The final thing will be in colour, once I've sorted out which ideas I want to keep.

Week 19 and 20 - Amecon conbook: "Conwatch" previews

Just to show that I actually have been drawing stuff for the last couple of weeks. : p

These are previews of the comic pages I submitted to this year's Amecon conbook. I'll put up the full comics once the convention's over, don't want to be posting spoilers now!

Project 52 : Week 18 - Oh you rascal...


Every time there's a new Berlusconi scandal in the news, I picture him doing this. : D



(hey I'm half-Italian, I can stereotype if I want to : P)

Project 52: Week 16 - Dargor the Shadowlord


Still catching up! Only two to go now...

The new Rhapsody of Fire album (The Frozen Tears of Angels) was released at the end of April, so I decided to draw my version of Dargor the Shadowlord from the Emerald Sword and Dark Secret sagas to celebrate.

Some of you will have seen this design before from my final BA project which was to develop a mock trailer for a film based on the RoF albums. Inspiration for his design included your typical black knight, the judges from Final Fantasy XII and Nathan Explosion. : D
Been a long time since he last saw the light of day though and I didn't remember how much I liked drawing the characters until now. : )

Sometime soon I'd like to finish it off properly as I ran out of time to give it some polish.

(Yes I often like cheese with my music thanks!)
