Not a big fan of that six pack

but everything else is pretty nicely rendered, Michael

ANd I like the web strips keep adding details to the personalities of your characters

Cheers,

Wanted to do a sidekick for Scott Kurtz' Lolbat character. Here's Lolbat and Twitter.

This is brilliant! What a great idea using Twitter as a sidekick LOL.

You should definitely send this Kurtz's way, or maybe even do a strip if you have the time, he's always using guest strips when he's away at Cons or ill.

Nice job mate!

Thanks, Sarryn. I actually already sent it to Kurtz, and he diidn't respond to that one. He did respond to my other Lolbat pic, though, and put it on his site!

I got a lot of hits from that. That pic is of course, apologies to Ross.

And here's a piece I just worked on. I've been restricting myself from coloring recently, to get stronger with linework. So, here is Leroy Jethro Gibbs from NCIS. I know he's not, strictly speaking, a superhero, but the way the show portrays him does border on the superhuman.

All right, couldn't resist coloring Gibbs.

Lolbat & Twitter are great! Looking forward to their adventures.

Shame Kurtz didn't pick up on the sidekick, congrats on the other pic though, really great idea/homage.

Nice Gibbs too!

I've only gotten a few critiques on the Gibbs pic, but I've agreed with them. The eyes are a bit too close together, and the shading in the color is fighting the lighting direction of the inks.

So much to learn yet.

Those are good suggestions, Michael, but I dig it nevertheless

ANd you got the color/light right on that awesome lolbat/twitter piece

Cheers,
Francesco

Last TGV pic for this year. I'll decide what to do with these guys in January, whether it be to continue the strip, rejigger it into a graphic novel, or shelve it for now. Just wasn't working the way I wanted it to.

That's a great pic mate, looking forward to seeing what you do with the characters in the New Year

by **TheRonin** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 10:02 am

I really hope you don't abandon this, Michael: it is a really nice looking cool concept and
open to long adaption if you put your mind to it

Cheers,
Francesco
