A painting for Sally Ride

Reblogging myself because I just saw that Sally Ride is a top trend on Twitter and this article is being shared around:

Sail safe little boat, Gil thought watching as it floated out into the water, and know that I’ll be here when you get back.

I was going through the archive earlier, looking for something else entirely, when i came across this and thought it might be of interest.

Since 2011, i’ve been doing lots of covers for Penguin USA and their reprinting of the backlist of John Le Carre (and in the last six months they have been used in the UK too, so you can find them pretty much everywhere).

Whenever I’m working on something like this, the first stage of the project is to read the book, and then submit a bunch of sketches to see which of them stick, and that’s what I’ve got here - pretty much every sketch that got sent off for feedback. Looking back at them, there are definitely sketches I would like to finish off, and I suspect some of them will find use for something else down the line.

No real reason for posting this other than i thought some of you might be interested in the early stages of work like this, and I can’t post anything from my current projects for a little while. Hope you enjoy a peek behind the curtain!

New art coming soon.

I DID NOT DRAW THIS, I ONLY PROVIDED COLOUR
Original lines are by Adoradora and can be found here and here.

I asked Adoradora if I pretty please could experiment on her lines, merely for my own benefit, mind. I also told her I wouldn’t post it online, but was happy enough with the result and would thus like to take this moment to introduce you guys to this amazing artist I recently discovered. This is everything I aspire to become artwise and I am trying very hard not to dissolve into embarrassing amounts of gushing right now, you have no idea.

So the absurdly talented Tardigrad offered to perform their patented brand of colouring wizardry on my drab old line art, and here is the eyeball-meltingly wonderful result.

In addition to really knowing their way around a colour wheel, Tardigrad is a dab hand at creating weird and wonderful beasties such these amazing critters: http://tardigrad.tumblr.com/tagged/kung-fu-galliforms

Also, this is the first time I’ve ever tried to reblog a thing and I will probably make a complete balls-up of it.

[Edit: I did make a complete balls-up of it.]

Some procrastination doodles. Needed a break from drawing that little chump with the nickel snoot. Here’s an aging burlesque star tentatively named Ruby; Loligo, a mudlark with a rather wonky metal detector; and Elver, racketeer and eel-about-town.

Still rifling through my 2011 sketches, and I found this old pic of my little gang of subway bandits. It’s a truly lousy drawing and I really need to rejig these character designs, but I kinda like these guys, so here y’go.
