manga... but a click will take you home






descent

a very early Greg another very early Greg yet another early Greg, although my skill was developing a little better here - I like his boobs this used to be one of my favourites, I still like the hair pure silliness ;) baby Greg... in pants :\ this is actually something he'd wear... liked it on paper, but it just doesn't quite look right - face isn't Greg enough
a rare gentle moment between Greg and Ambrose - shitty legs something about this pairing at the moment, not sure why, they seem like they're clinging to each other desperately - not a likely occurance - not entirely happy with Ambrose's head but I LOVE Greg's legs :) still my favourite pair it would seem - I found a picture of Molko singing in a very heartfelt fashion and decided to redraw his passion elsewhere - not entirely happy with Greg's face or the inaccurate height difference
an early shitty version of Niki nice, still in my minimalist stage I love that gun, I really do, pity about the rest of the pic></a> <a href=for a long time this was my best pic, I still love the expression, but jeans and hands are weird it looks like he'd forgotten where he handcuffed someone... not my best blergh... all wrong my first running pic - not enough movement, but not overall terrible></a> <a href=although this is still in my ultra skinny boi phase I do realy like this one still again not enough movement, looks more like Barbie than a vampire hunter really happy with Lola - I hadn't drawn animals in manga before - Niki's a little rough face, hair, hands and boots I love, the shading is a little pox though and the legs don't look quite right - this is one of my favourites - I can't replicate the style though definately one of my best - shading quite well done, legs are not so skinny - overall very happy :) art noveau stage - love this one - simple but lovely good in theory, but didn't quite work - face is wrong, not happy with the legs - left one should be in full view, not the right also love this one, even if the neck/shoulder area is a little shitty, beautiful pained expression, gorgeous hands
several shades of fucked, the boots are the highlight... blergh
an idea I had for a while - done very quickly and thus not fantastic, especially Niki and Greg, but I like it all the same - Ambrose and Evelyn are cool :) largely drawn because I wanted to see Greg in that outfit, but the rest of them turned out pretty cute too - and yes I am in the foreground searching my bag for a lighter - I only accept booze and fags as treats :)
two ladies who haven't appeared here before - Thyme and Spase - friends of Evelyn and co. I tried doing hair differently, meh, overall resonably happy with it
Shade... she doesn't appear until the 2nd book...a friend of Greg's - still very happy with this one
another early series of pics - too stilted and rounded - uhck! meh - old, shitty, hands are okay though while it is fun to slash one's own characters, the quality of this pic detracts from the merriment a more recent attempt - trying to represent the suffocating nature of their friendship - love the hands, and that Niki is a little more solid - not happy with Will's head
my first solo Will pic - utter shite :) except maybe the head much better - this will always remain as one of my favourites - he looks so lost minimalist phase - love it though - expression is spot on I drew this on a plane - love the body but it's not Will's head - I think I was drawing from memory and it didn't quite turn out
My first pic of Sian during my ultra skinny phase - hair is awesome, the rest is pox still too thin, although she's meant to be rebelling and not eating when this is drawn - hence the crazy hair - still not happy with it
Ezra - a minor character - face and hands work, the rest is so-so
Isaac! Another major/minor character who works the labs - this isn't what he looks like though :) still working on him
VERY minor characters based on myself and a colleague - just for laughs really

























































teen angst

this is the first manga pic I EVER drew - it's meant to be Evelyn and Shai from a now defunct storyline - not terrible for a first effort another early piece - I think I had been looking at too much FAKE! wrong wrong wrong - gangly lady bois










infinity

Bayne, a big bad vampire from a SF novel I might one day ressurect - very simple Dyce, Bayne's companion, I was having a no feet day and not so subtly hid them - bunny looks cool though! If you take it's head off there's a blade attached :) aiming for cute, but too skinny and illdefined Jade - basically another version of a Greg-type character (where did I acquire this fascination for petite raven haired lady bois... ;) not unhappy with this one










gypsy draw

waaaay too thin - JJ and Isidore - based on short film script I wrote which I was going to extend - JJ is yet another Greg-esque lady boi
I forget how Teche fit into the Gypsy Draw storyline - clearly a hacker - a little Borg for my liking, but I'm pleased with the detail














soul mate

Emily - character design from short film
Jared - character design from short film














porter house

Violet and Amity - character designs from short film Nancy, young and aged - character designs from short film











miscellaneous

crap more crap yet another Evelyn, from the same story and era as Rae, no idea what he was meant to be... this one I actually still like, the hand is good, the expression works, nice Evelyn and Jai, another character I remember nothing about - crap drawing, not happy Jai, okay but not fantastic Ronin, from the same storyline as the previous four, don't mind this one though random minimalist elf ultra skinny phase - a friend requested a handsome boi - this is what he got design for a logo for one of our production companies at uni - I forget which language it is but 'tjoe tjoe ville' translates to 'evil fairy' my friend madam aka muffin the guinea pig... it's a long story part of my fascination with Lucifer stage - happiest with the hair, the rest is rough and crappy for a friend's birthday invite - it was a 70s theme first attempt at a self portrait another self portrait - I loved that outfit :) design for the cover of a film proposal - still like it self portrait of me in my homemaker phase - like the top half a gift for madam drew this on holidays, don't know where he came from, but he's a little bit native american indian I think once upon a time I was going to do a seven deadly sins series - this is the only one currently worth showing, too thin, but I love his hands/expression
