Resurrected my semi dormant youtube channel to port over my sketchbook stuff I've been doing on twitch.

Trying to just do chill hangs. No music, so you can play your own while you watch. Figuring out drawing again- struggles and all!

It's been a while since I did a #SequentialSaturday post... so it's about time I did...

Some Scarlet Spider pages featuring the X-men.

Scarlet Spider kicks Beast across a room, smashing into Iceman. Wolverine and Marvel Girl face off against Scarlett Spider and a second mysterious antagonist. Wolverine, full or fury launches at Scarlett Spider. Wolverine slashes with his claws, but Scarlet Spider counters with a punch, drawing blood from Wolverines mouth. Scarlet Spider launches his webbing at Wolverine, who slashes it, falling into a rage. Scarlet Spider dodges Wolverines attacks, and throughs Wolverine into a wall. Wolverine slashes Scarlet Spider with his claws. Scarlet Spider responds by popping a bone spike from his wrist.. Scarlet Spider launches as Wolverine, striking him in the chest with his bone spike. As he withdraws the spike, blood gushes from the wound and Wolverine falls to the ground as the other X-Men watch on in horror.

It’s been fun revisiting some old pieces while I’m busy with new work I can’t share yet.

Today we’re looking back on some fun I’ve had colouring @colemancomicart.bsky.social ! A fun fact, Ruairí is the reason I am making comics today. One of my most frequent collaborators and favourite people!

Revisiting some more older work again because I can’t share any of my current work, today we’re looking at some stuff by the great @maxdunbar.bsky.social I loved doing.

Dunbar’s fantasy work and character design really is on its own plane of existence. I’m always in awe of him.

Unfortunately I have had to go back to posting on Instagram again… as much as I hate their AI policies, I kind of have no choice from a business perspective.

I will still be keeping up with here and Cara too.. hopefully things don’t get bad enough that I have to go back to Twitter 😂😂

A neon lit city at night. People bustling about. A man walks into a dimly lit room and activates a glowing white button. Several red lights glow in response and a banks a displays light up showing mysterious cloaked figures. The figures on the tv and the man have a back and forth conversation. The figures end the conversation and the displays go dark. The man leaves the building making a phone call..

I grew up reading the ‘90’s X-men.. so I really wanted to do this. To add to the ‘90’s vibes, I used Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo’s fleer cards from the ‘94 for some inspiration…

I am available for any sized project if anyone is looking for a colourist!

A police office building in Leningrad. An investigator is handed a case file. A second investigator looks up from his paper to see his partner adding a photo to a cork board. Examining the file, the first investigator appears deep in thought, while his partner watches on. A captain comes out of his office and calls the second investigator in to talk. The second investigator returns to his office, lighting a cigarette, to find his partner gone. Cut to his partner sitting in a car looking a tag with red star on it in and small bag. He drives away.
