Day of the Jackal

Dog Soldiers was on last night.. I missed it, but the term has been in my mind throughout the story.. WHY has Duvall been making these Dog Soldiers. Well for a couple of reasons.. or three reasons.

1. He’s barking mad…

2.. well you’ll have to wait and see.

Lots of DELETER no3 black ink in todays pic, in fact a lot of it all over my hands. I looked at a “how to make your own cintiq” site last week… this week I find myself far too busy to even consider starting another project I might not finish. Looks like my day job has an extension till March 2012, so I have a job for another year. I guess that makes me one of a very lucky few.

There will be Blood

Wychwolf page 25 for details of story select transcript

A new start, a new job… working on the pc is proving more tricky than anticipated. Photoshop is doing some weird trapping around outlines. I’m not sure how to get past it. .. though my heart says buy a mac.

So blood everywhere, a severely damaged team, and a mad doctor on the loose.

Things are warming up.

Art stuff, sketched in Daler sketch book with 0.5mm pencil,, scanned in using my canonscan lide 25 scanner, then inked and coloured in photoshop elements.

I think I may try to get back to inking on paper, whilst I work out issues with PS.

Soundtrack: Minus by Beck, Fall away by The fray and Conqueeeessst by the White Stripes.

… and were back.

The day job I’ve had for the past six years ends on Friday, and it’s caused a lot of change in the way I lead my life. I’m very lucky to have a ten month contract with an excellent team of extremely talented and pleasant people to tide me over… but things won’t be the same.

Probably the biggest change for the comic is that I’ve got to learn how to work in Windows 7, as my macbook pro, wasn’t really mine,and has to go back to the firm I’m leaving.

So Windows 7 does things differently, I’ve not got any of the fonts I use, and need to make a visit to BLAMBOT to sort that out.

Photoshop elelments works differently…I’ve got to learn to deselect stuff and I’ve got to get used to the most random filesystem I’ve come across. On the positive side the drivers I just downloaded for my wacom seem to integrate the tablet really well at an OS level.

For the story hopefully things will be back to their old fashioned sepia by next Monday,once I’ve worked out where all the brushes I need are.

phew.

Artstuff staedltler pigment pens and copic grey markers in a my sketchbook… sadly the paper is far too absorbent, and the ink bleed was extensive. I won’t do that again. Next week I’ll use some decent paper.

Soundtrack: Whitestripes De Stijl

I’ve been on holiday, and started a new job… it feels strange that I can have squeezed so much into such short a time.

Anyway, this page was sketched on Crooklets beach in Bude.

Pens might return for next week.

Art stuff.. B pencil in a Daler Sketchbook

Soundtrack, The blind boys from Alabama, and the sound of surf, and lifeguards…

“Will surfers and bodyboarders please stay between the red and yellow flags”

there’s something behind you

wych wolf page22 see transcript for detail

If you read the script Adam is compiling over at http://www.wychwolf.co.uk you’ll see that what was originally planned here was a bit of dull conversation, and some bumbling around an airfield.. maybe the view of an office, perhaps a few interesting moustaches. I decided we needed to ramp the action back up again… and so thought it might be nice to have something follow Eric through the woods.

Art stuff: all done on the mac this week, Photoshop elements.

Soundtrack: My wife practicing her violin.. this doesn’t sound too bad until you realise that she hasn’t played in about 16 years.

It’s a cliffhanger.. trapped in a secret underground laboratory with a Zombie dog, and a Zombie/mummy/werewolf, Broadstairs raddled by psychotic drugs, and concussed, and armed only with a cricket bat. What will befall our plucky protagonists…

You’ll have to wait and see.

Artwork was all digital this week, usual stuff, little wacom bamboo tablet, and photoshop elelments 4 for mac.

Soundtrack: Macbreak weekly, bleating on about iphone 4 issues. Don’t have one, can’t afford one, just ordered an htc wildfire.

Enjoy the sunshine

Down, there in the dark, no-one can hear you scream, no-one but the eyeless, earless corpses, rotting in their tombs.

There’s some argument about what makes a Zombie… the zombies here are the result of fiendish experiments, more of which in future strips. But suffice to say there’s a tenuous link to scientific reality. The experiments on reviving dogs, replacing their hearts can be found on You tube, the chemical side of things, from the legend of the werewolf, which stems from ergot infection of ryebreads. These days ergot is used to create a drug that helps heart patients, Ergotamine, I had a friend who used to be a pharma salesman, and he’d say it had nutritional properties too.. If he sold it he got to eat.

Art stuff… Staedtler pigment liners on whatever paper was lying around, scanned and messed with in Photoshop elephants 4, on the mac.

Soundtrack: New Morning, Bob Dylan… Astral weeks, Van Morrision… Ingrid Bergman, Billy Bragg…

A visit to the hospital

There’s a stately home on the forest, which I’ve often looked at from one of the clumps whilst walking… it’s near an army training ground, that has fabulously intriguing signs nailed to trees on it’s border, suggesting it is wise to keep out. This is n opportunity to invade and have a look around…. without all the bother of getting shot.

This is the last of the build up pages, from next Monday you’ll be pleased to know we begin a headlong rush towards the real menace on Ashdown.

Art Stuff: This is a real hodge podge of cut and paste… so many layers in photoshop it became a real pain. The car is obviously a photo, I tried to draw the smashing Rover, but messed it up…

Zombie dogs

The zombie dog finally makes it’s appearance…

The idea of Zombie dogs came from an early episode of DiggNation, where Alex and Kevin discussed a video of Russian experiments on dogs in the 1940′s. The experiments involved a range of pretty filthy things, like chopping off a dogs head, but keeping it alive with a pump.

The You tube video isn’t for the sqeamish…
