Project Cornelius Update

After what seems like an age things are starting to move on more quickly with 'Project Cornelius' both the comic and the game are making some steady progress. The big push at the moment however is on the game. This mainly due to the fact I'm no longer doing it on my own which is awesome. A friend and fellow illustrator/geek Steve Beckett is on board and between us we're charging on ahead. 
Today has been all about sorting through the miniatures needed for the game. To start with at least, I don't plan to sculpt all of the models myself when there are perfectly good examples out there to be had. I'm sculpting Zombots and a few other characters but I'm trying to source other models that can be used for many of the characters. For example the British soldiers are from Black Pyramid Gaming and the police men are from Artizan Miniatures. 
On top of all this I have been rewriting and adding to the first draft rules which will be at a playable stage very soon. Watch this space for more updates. 

Project Cornelius Update

On top of all the commission work I have been doing recently I've been getting back in to the 'Project Cornelius' zone. I have been working through the script for the comic as well as the rules for the game, and they both seem to be coming along quite well.  Sadly none of this work is particularly great for photos as its all scribbles, word and excel documents. However always one to keep you up to date here is a picture of me holding the notebook lol.

Tonight I'm hoping to sit down with my other unwitting comrade in the project Steve and go through a few bits including the first test of the games combat system. Hopefully the updates will start to pick up speed for you all now. :-)

Lincoln Comic Con

Cleethorpes comic con was great last weekend and on the back of that I will be attending Lincoln comic con on Sunday the 20th. It looks like it's going to be epic. So much so that they've had to move to a different venue just to be able to fit everyone in!! So if you're free on the 20th and can get to Lincoln pop along and say hi. 

Geeks Cleethorpes

It's all go in the pickle jar at the moment. I'll be at "Geeks" Cleethorpes comic con this coming Saturday. It was fantastic last time with hundreds of people through the door and some brilliant guests. This Saturday looks to be equally as cool with Boyce and Marlene from only fools and horses for starters as well as Hattie Hayridge aka Holly from Red Dwarf. 

I'm busy painting up comic character bunnies as we speak  so if you have any requests drop me a message. See you all on Saturday. :-)

Tolkien Bunnies

I thought I'd share a couple of recent bunny commissions with you today. It's always fun when somebody asks me to do some totally different from the norm and these are no exception. First up is Thorin Oakenshield from the Hobbit. Awesome character and now in bunny form.

The second is a Uruk-Hai berserker from Lord of the Rings which was great fun to paint up. Kind of want to do a whole legion of Tolkien based characters now. Drop me a message if you have any requests.

More LIA's

I've been busy doing more Star Wars LIA's recently including this Boba Fett one, which was great fun to draw. I have many more planned with a possible large Slave 1 on the horizon too. 

I've also got some more books for LIA commissions and projects so if you fancy something from either of these drop me a message and I'll see what I can do for you.

S27 - Logo

I've been busy painting a company logo onto the gym wall today for S27 - Fitness here in Grimsby. Not the greatest photo in the world but it's roughly 2ft across. I'm quite enjoying doing these large wall pieces lately so you know where to find me if you want anything painting.
