PATCHES McGINLEY: DON'T GO INTO THE DUNGEON!

There's a new mini-comic challenge started on Facebook to create at least 12 pages of comics over the next month. I'm creating a new story starring Patches McGinley 'Don't go into the dungeon!' in a different style, which is all-ages friendly, and will be FUN! Keep an eye on the Anywere Facebook page for more news over the coming weeks...

COMMISSION ME!

I'm open for illustration commissions of your favourite comic book or cartoon characters, TV and movie folks, heck, anything you like (within reason... copyright allowing)!

Here's a quick catch up of some of my latest pieces to get you thinking. Contact me for prices and more details! 

CHUCK ME A CHALLENGE!

Okay. As mentioned earlier, I'm planning on a new comic release on a bi-monthly basis this year.  I'm plotting the first one, and have started on a bigger project which will be done (hopefully) at the end of the year.

But, I'd like you to help too... That's where 'Chuck me a challenge' comes in. I want you to send me ideas for more comics, the more challenging the better.  I want to move out of my artistic comfort zone and push myself, so bring on the ideas!

You can email me at: morgan@morgangleave.co.uk or leave comments here on the blog... I look forwards to hearing from you!

BAG BOY EPISODE 4!

POW!  Didn't see that coming did ya?  Here's episode 4 of Bag Boy!  I'm really pleased with this episode, as I'm pushing myself to create better art every time, and challenge myself to create something special. I'm really happy with the colours and drawing on this one... Onwards and upwards Bag Boy fans!

As ever, to enjoy the new episode in it's full glory, please click on the pic below.

Oh, and Bag Boy! Episode 3 is written and pencilled, but I need to get some new brushes for inking!

HEROES IN A HALF-SHELL!

Given that I’ve read and drawn comics most of my life, it’s remarkable that I’ve never actually read or drawn the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The only comic story I’ve read with any of them in it was a crossover with Usagi Yojimbo. I did buy and read the wonderful parody of TMNT, Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters, and loved it, but never TMNT. Which is funny, given that Hamsters was a parody of a parody…

Sure, I’m VERY aware of the Turtles. Heck, I should think lots of people are, even those that aren’t comic fans. At one point in cultural history, the Turtles were HUGE. I quite like the latest version of them in cartoon form, and the Lego figures are cool, but draw them..?

So it was a pleasant surprise when my good buddy Dave messaged me this morning about another drawing. We started a challenge: call out characters to each other, and get the other to draw them, then share them on Instagram. I got the Turtles. I did a quick skim over the web for some colour reference (damn masks…) and weapons, a quick warm up sketch, then cracked on with full pics of them all. Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello. I had a blast putting them together, and can’t wait for the next challenge, especially if its characters I don’t know so well… Enjoy the drawings!

PS: I gave Dave Hellboy to draw. Let’s see what he comes up with!
