Art Thread: Fitzroy Artwork

[Tad]

Fitz, your recent rate of producing art is incredible. You're not talking colored though, are you? That would be.... also incredible. Can't wait to see the stuff.

[fitzroy]

Fully painted (digitally) my friend. After a slow start I became possessed.

[fitzroy]

The jam sketch was a 4 (roundabouts) diversion so I didn't get bogged down. You can tell because the Goon's fist is really badly drawn.

[JohnThompson]

Fully painted (digitally) my friend. After a slow start I became possessed.
See what quitting smoking has done for you?:D

[fitzroy]

Hey Caddy Cad Man.
I just want to get it done, and make people happy.

[petriacce]

Well, I haven't posted a lot concerning the "project" because it probably gets annoying to have people e-poking you and asking if it's done yet.

I am excited to see the finished results though and am glad to hear it is almost done.

Okay e-poking probably isn't the best terminology.

[Petersen]

Well my Die Hard Friend from across the pond..
your recent fury is great....sort of.
I have a 1.75 pages to go before I am done...blah, and right now I am tied into a comitment with a deadline...2 pages left to go there.
They are due Sept. 15th, so worst case scenerio, is that I will take the full time to get those in and can get the final prts of ASoH done by the 25th.

I think I will have a pencil in my hand for most of Monday (US Labor Day)

[Athena]

Thanks for the tickle, JT.
Fitz: The new shoes weren't even a question. They will be mine.
ICBM: I still love you, but not as much as when you're Kevin. Even though you don't say anything for aaaaaaages, and then when you do, it's annoying. Why am I surprised?

[zefo]

look kevin, wimens think your name is smeaksay!



.....and you could have worse. i could have called you greg.

[Otto66]

Thanks for the tickle, JT.
Hmmm... seems the tickle came from me. Oh, well. :(

Sir D? You did read that the Canadian lass had revisions? Yes?
Bet that we may be looking at a little more time. So. Take Monday
off. Be with yer luved ones and then start fresh. :)

icbm? Since Fitz is one of the few people that answers my postings
and doesn't have me on an ignore list, I don't see a problem with
banter on his thread. 'Sides, it's mostly on topic and doesn't break
any of the "Tips Rules". Plus, Fitz (and Athena) have a sense of
humor and do know when I'm kidding. ;)

Fitz? Jack "King" Kirby's ghost says, "Booga, booga." and he'll be seeing
you tonight. :D

A picture of my little sister. Ain't she cute?

[JohnThompson]

and doesn't have me on an ignore list, I don't see a problem with
banter on his thread.
I don't have you on "Ignore" anymore, if that makes you feel any better. ;)

Who doesn't love the Otto? You're the heart and soul of the board, man!


<MAN HUG!> ^___^

[fitzroy]

I for one enjoy hugging Otto on a regular basis, although he does get rather frisky before his afternoon nap.
Looking forward to Jack popping round

JT, you must be the libido of the board.

Oh, the top right zombie on the 'jam' was supposed to be Tad. Bad I know but I did it from meory.

Petersen, no rush dude. Enjoy the hols

Cal, E-poke is a lovely phrase and should be used more

[Petersen]

The pencil in hand for Monday is for the comitment I have due mid sept
It's all pencil and fully rendered..so it takes a while and I have 2 left to do, then scan & letter them.

Thanks for the vacation, but trust me..compared with the 9-5, drawing is a vacation

[JohnThompson]

JT, you must be the libido of the board.
I prefer "Mojo", but I'll take what I can get... :rolleyes:

[Elegance Liberty]

JT, you must be the libido of the board.

But... what about me? D:

And Otto, you're not on my ignore list. Stop being so paranoid. XP

[JohnThompson]

But... what about me? D:
I thought you knew already.... you're board pimp.:D

[Tad]

Oh, the top right zombie on the 'jam' was supposed to be Tad. Bad I know but I did it from memory.

Don't make my monkey angry!!

[Otto66]

Since Fitz is one of the few people that answers my postings and doesn't have me on an ignore list, I don't see a problem with banter on his thread.

Thanks for the kind words yous guys, but ya need to read all of
the sentence to get the point. :)

Plus everyone ignored my sweet little sister and that made her cry. :(
http://www.newsarama.com/Creator_Owned/Renee_Franch/f_RFrench.jpg

[fitzroy]

Tad, sorry for making your monkey angry, sure there's a 'spank' joke in there somewhere.

Otto, your sister is very attractive, room for another 'spank' joke?

EL, the position of board pimp is a high honour. And lucrative.

JT, it's time you stopped flirting with married women and did some art

[fitzroy]

Couple of pics from Barcelona (finally)

Me taking culture to the masses
and a very Mignola carving

[icbm1987]

That's a nice Pic Fitz, and a nice shirt.

That carving is awesome... on what type of building did you see it?

icbm1987

[fitzroy]

I'll 'Ask Athena', she remembers that kind of stuff.
Cheers

[morna]

You look splendid in that shirt! Nice carving photo too. btw did you see any good Gaudi buildings over there?

[Athena]

Morna: We certainly did! I went into the Gaudi museum, which with 5 floors, all stairs and no air con, was a bit of a trail, but it was worth it. I'll try and get Fitz to post the photos I took inside and outside the house.

ICBM: The dragon thing if I remember rightly, was on the outside of a coffee shop. Just sittin' there. Fitz spotted it, and made me take the 'photo.

Otto: I love ya. I'm sorry I got the tickles mixed up!

Big Kisses to ma peeps.
XXXXXXX

[Otto66]

Thought you hated that page, so, I aint done it.
If you go back to page 12 of this (the longest thread in Hellboy forum
history) thread, you'll read me giving you the "Official Okey Dokey"
to finish the first page.

PM coming.

[fitzroy]

That's a big FIB and you know it. But, if you want an intro page I have an idea.

[fitzroy]

And to placate the writer I now have a page 0, will send jpeg Otto. So it's 7 pages and I now have a page and a panel and a half to do. POOP!

[Athena]

!!!!OTTO!!!!
Double poop!
I wanted to go to Nottingham this weekend to spend all of Fitzs' money in LUSH.
Poopy poopy pants poop poops poopy panties.

[Maija]

How the hell did I miss that awesome jam?! It's you guys and all yer jabberin' -- I tend to skip pages figuring that they're filled up with your witty repartee and then I see this mention of a "jam". Page back... well, I'll be.

That's a great Goon and some lovely zombie smashing. The popped eyeball just sets the whole thing off. Can't wait to see it inked and coloured.

[Otto66]

Fitz-Athena? Hush. The lack of nicotine has made you both cranky.
To take yer mind off of it, you may want to post some more pictures.

Seeing Fitz in the Hellboy shirt shows the lad has good taste in clothes.
And the "George and Dragon".... wouldn't that be a relief if is on a
building and made of plaster? Still nice shot.

Once I'm done with my emails, I get to work on the tweeking.

[icbm1987]

Once I'm done with my emails, I get to work on the tweeking.

One question for Otto...

did you spell tweaking without an "a" on purpose? Or is this part of some sinister plan?

[Otto66]

Don't mess with me boy. My heads full of liquor. :evilsmile

[icbm1987]

Don't mess with me boy. My head's full of liquor. :evilsmile

Please don't forget the apostrophe dear sir, a little liquor is no excuse to forget punctuation.

*is messing with Otto... and wondering about monkey's with guns*

[morna]

Oh oh agent IBM's in danger - better go in with a diversion


My head's full of rubber cement - it seems to have a similar effect!

[fitzroy]

Ruta, thank you. Although I'm appalled that you 'skip' posts on this thread. I feel almost betrayed *sob*. I might get round to colouring it one day. Got another 'jam' in the pipeline, but it'll have to be post LoJo. I'm so close, it's scary.

Otto, tweak away my friend. What did you think of page0?

Kevin, dear God lad, have you got nothing better to do?

Morna, er, package on it's way to your abode.

More art soon, probably.

[Otto66]

Page0 is fine. What about my PM suggestion?????? :confused:

[fitzroy]

What about my PM suggestion?????? :confused:

Yep, sounds cool. But not the pic you suggested, I hate it with a passion. Will have a ponder.

Page 0 nearly done Spanky. :D

[Otto66]

Yep, sounds cool. But not the pic you suggested, I hate it with a passion. Will have a ponder.
Crom help us when an artist ponders. :rolleyes:

The image I'm thinking of should be of Lobster Johnson.

Tick, tick, tick. Bing! :D

(notes from the journal: when an artist wants to delay working, they claim to ponder)

[fitzroy]

Pondering is a mighty skill when performed correctly.

Yes, of course on it being LoJo. Just dislike the one you said.

[Otto66]

Pondering is a mighty skill when performed correctly.
When does a ponder turn into a nap?
Yes, of course on it being LoJo. Just dislike the one you said.
Understood. So? Something new? :D
Just thought that an existing sketch would speed the process.

[fitzroy]

God, you 're such a 'hurry'wart. It'll probably be an existing one. I like the fart one, with ghosty guy. Take out the ghost tho'.

[Petersen]

Not that I know what you are talking about, but my fave is the kneeling over blood one....
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/inks/lobster.jpg

[Athena]

*YOU WILL READ THE LOJO COMIC. YOU WILL LOVE IT. YOU WILL ADORE EVERYONE THAT CONTRIBUTED. YOU WILL CONTINUE TO VISIT THIS THREAD AND POST WITTY COMMENTS AND REPARTEE.*
(SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE ENDED)

hello peeples.
i will post some more pictures from barcelona when i know how to use the scanner.
Otto: the dragon thing was carved from stone. The shops on the main street (Passieg De Gracia) are all set back into the buildings, as many of them are very old, in order to preserve the look of the street, yet supply the Barcalonians with quality coffee, chocolate brownies (Barca style) ice cream and tapas. The people are friendly, but EVERYONE smokes!!!! Small children in their prams are toking away on Embassy Superkings. And my cat appears to have dandruff. ? .

[Athena]

Petersen!!!

[Otto66]

God, you 're such a 'hurry'wart. It'll probably be an existing one. I like the fart one, with ghosty guy. Take out the ghost tho'.
Did you check the site I mentioned? The surface is limited.
Maybe I need to go to PM to make my point.

Petersen? Thanks. Its always been my fav too. Figure that the
stories we've been working on, lo these many months, stem from
that pinup.

Athena? Sorry about the cat. Do they make cat-shampoo for that?
Looking forward to more pics. Oh, and if some are a bit racey and
you'd rather not post them? Just send them to me in an email. :D

PM sent.

[fitzroy]

Otto, PM replied to

Petersen, glad you like that pic (and you have the original) How's the art going?

[Petersen]

I knew that pin-up of Fitz's was the original catalyst...that is one of the reasons I suggested it...It's also finished, and a personal (I and I believe board-wide) Fave.

I have not touched the ASoH in a bit. As mentioned before I have anotehr commitment that I am rushing on. Starting to not like what I have done for it..toying with (or what was the magic word?....'pondering'!) the idea of re-doing it...or lightboxing what I have and inking instead of the pencil renderings.

The holiday was not kind to me in terms of getting anything accomplished, but ratehr spent time with family..and for some reason (on what is the unofficial last day of summer) had a picnic indoors!??!?!?!? Mother-in-laws..wheeew..

[Otto66]

Fitz? Yer PM reply was just nuts. Maybe this was a bad idea.

Petersen? Marry the girl, marry the family. Best praise yer mother-in-law
for raising the woman you married. The sooner you start bonding with
yer mother-in-law, the easier your life will be. That, or get some pictures
of her while shes drunk. :D

Fitz? Just saw page0. WOW! Ya gotta be happy with that one. Guess
all that whinning was just a big waste of energy.

[Petersen]

Otto: I knew I was marring the family. I love that family! Very happy to have been welcomed in as well as I have. Beautiful folks with good hearts...No problems with the Mother-in-law either..just funny to have a picnic to celebrate the last day of summer...inside.

Fitz:
Really enjoyed the 0 you sent me..I made a small suggestion easily maniped in photoshop...whatcha think puddin'?

[Otto66]

Otto: I knew I was marring the family. I love that family! Very happy to have been welcomed in as well as I have. Beautiful folks with good hearts...No problems with the Mother-in-law either..just funny to have a picnic to celebrate the last day of summer...inside.
David? I'm the LAST person to give advise on marriage. Just try'n to
get the joke out about get'n her drunk. ;)
Then again, maybe shes just try'n ta see how far she can push ya? :confused:

[fitzroy]

Fitz? Yer PM reply was just nuts. Maybe this was a bad idea.

No, it's a great idea. I just really really dislike that image. Sorry if I was nuts.
Glad you like page 0. I'm so close to finishing, altough Athena hates the cars with a passion. To the point where she was shouting from the bath "The cars are shite, the cars are shite" for a good twenty minutes last night.

Petersen, got your rejigged pic. Er, the owner has lots of money and keeps his windows beautifully kept and painted. Plus it's a nice contrast. But, thanks anyway. Glad you had some good holiday time.

[Petersen]

I'm glad athena doesn't bathe at my house....
'Mr. Groin looks like shite, Mr. Groin looks like shite'

[fitzroy]

She loves your stuff, it's just mine that she has a problem with *sniff*.

How goes it?

[Otto66]

Fitz? New avatar? Cool.

The cars are the least on it. Give the wife a cuddle and
promise to buy her nice things. ;)

Sent an email on the item we discussed. Waiting for a reply.

[fitzroy]

Thanks on the Avatar, for those who haven't seen the pages, everybody, it's a tease.

Cuddle will be done. No nice things this month, Darla cat poorly and cost around £400 so far. Praise be pet insurance (when we get it refunded)

Email? Not yet

[Otto66]

Dude? If I paid $400 (my board won't make the lbs. symbol)
for a cat, the damn thing would be doing the dishes and
washing the windows. :rolleyes:

I wasn't clear. The email was sent to the artist about the
commission. Sent an email to see if the image I grabbed
would be enough or if something else was needed. Will advise.

[fitzroy]

Ah, that makes sense. (still hate that pic, but not as much as Athena hates the cars)

It's my baby so it's worth the £400. But she should get better soon, yay.

[Otto66]

Ah, that makes sense. (still hate that pic, but not as much as Athena hates the cars)
Glad kitty is on the mend.

If you hate that pic, you could always make me a new one
just for this project. ;)
(notes from the journal: sometimes being subtle works better than begging)

[fitzroy]

Beg me and I will.

Should have time to do something at the weekend.

Any script for the lettering yet?

[Otto66]

Beg me and I will.
Artists. :rolleyes:
"Oh, please Mr. Artman, please, please draw me a new
Lobster Johnson pose. You know your the ONLY one that
can make this project complete with your amazing art."

How was that? :evilsmile

Revised script won't be done for weeks. Sorry.
(notes from the journal: when dealing with artists, its good to keep some leverage)

[fitzroy]

That was fine.
Now, script monkey, how about that dialogue? Geez, been waiting months for it.

[JohnThompson]

Revised script won't be done for weeks. Sorry.
Hey, Stan Lee, what did you do, send Fitz a "Marvel" style plot with no dialogue? Writers. :rolleyes:

[fitzroy]

No, just tweaking the already done dialogue.

When are you doing art again?

[JohnThompson]

When are you doing art again?
When is Athena going to send pictures of herself?

More properly, I am "doing art" all the time, and have had an incredibly busy last few weeks at work. Lots of late hours and weekends doing mundane advertising stuff.

Or, if I misunderstood your question to mean "shut up", I'd rather you just tell me outright. I've had a long history of people asking when they're going to see more art when they just really want me to go away.

[fitzroy]

I'll ask her.

I want to see your art, I'm a big fan. Anything you can show would be appreciated.

If I wanted you to go, I'd say. Silly rabbit.

[Athena]

At the current exchange rate, Darla has cost us... mmmm (adds up) £1=$1.70 ish, x100 $170, x4 = $680.
And she needs a check up on Friday, which will probably cost us another £30.
JT: I'll send one when Fitz takes one.
Hope you all had a good day..

OOOOh! At work today, I had to rescue a baby bunny and take it to the vets. It's eyes were swollen shut, so we managed to shoo it into a box and take it to the same place Darla was at (wildlife gets treated for free). Unfortunately, it had myximatosis, so they had to put it down, so can we have a moment of silence for Flopsy, please.



Thank You.
Kisses to ma peeps and all the kittens and bunnies and doggies out there.
XXXX

And, yes, the white is SHITE! (can I say that?)

[JohnThompson]

If I wanted you to go, I'd say. Silly rabbit.
Is that a polite British way of saying "get lost"? The last time I heard someone say "silly rabbit", they were about to get mediaeval with a Hanzo sword.:eek:

[Athena]

No, he thinks it's cool to quote. So do I. I love doing it at work. It makes peoples think you're proper clever. he he he.
JT: You've got a complex about people wanting you to go away. Seriously, anyone can come on here and say what they want, it's a free world (?), but I love you JT. And your shark eyes.
Fitz loves you too. And Otto. And (there's a pattern developing here) ICBM. And EVERYBODY!!! GROUP HUG!

[icbm1987]

Silly Rabbit... Fitz is for kids!

*participates in hug*

[Petersen]

Mr. Flopsy is in a better place...

'goodbye Mr. Flopsy'

[Athena]

That's soooooo cute! Thank you! I've sent it to my account at work so all my colleagues can see it!
XXXX

[fitzroy]

Silly Rabbit... Fitz is for kids!

Are you trying to annoy me again?

JT, you're rubbish at English. Read the sentence again and pay attention to the punctuation. Silly rabbit. (Kill Bill)

Petersen, tres cute.

[petriacce]

Mr. Flopsy is in a better place...

'goodbye Mr. Flopsy'Apparently even furry, soft things aren't exempt from the ill effects of dabbling with beings from other dimensions. :(

[JohnThompson]

Mr. Flopsy is in a better place...
The rabbit's name is Frank.

[Otto66]

Bye, Flop. We hardly knew ya.
JT? Who needs the man-hug today.
<CYBER MAN-HUG>

"Donny Darko"? So last century. Move on.
Go see "Hero".

[JohnThompson]

JT? Who needs the man-hug today.
<CYBER MAN-HUG>
Mmm.... hold me in your big, strong man-arms! They're all warm and salty, with a beer-like musk!
"Donny Darko"? So last century. Move on.
Go see "Hero".
Actually, "Darko" was a 2001 release, that got almost totally overshadowed in the aftermath of 9/11. Made under 1 million at the box office, was considered a cinematic flop, only to rise to cult classic status. Director's Cut is being re-released in theaters now, hence it's topical again.

No money, no sitter, so "Hero" will have to wait for rental. :(

[petriacce]

In regards to the Lobster Johnson comic with the ASoH backup story, are you all plannin on a print run via something like http://www.comixpress.com/ or is it going to be posted online? Cheers.

[Petersen]

Posted online and online alone.

[fitzroy]

Someone was going to print up a small run for me, and I was going to give them away on the board, but was advised against it. Copyright minefield and all that.

[petriacce]

Since it will be available online only, are you setting it up like a book via html/xml or a straight shot of posted images?

[Otto66]

No money, no sitter, so "Hero" will have to wait for rental. :(
Rob a gas station, kidnap a sitter. You need to see this in
a theatre. The sweep of the camera and variety of colour cannot
be captured on a TV screen. No DVD will ever do it justice.
I seldom recommend a movie as highly as I do this one.

[Otto66]

Fitz? Yer buddy Lucas has lost his mind. Again.

"As fans of the trilogy know, in the original 1977 version Solo is the one that shoots first, killing Greedo before the green-skinned Rodian manages to get off a shot. In the 1997 Special Edition version of A NEW HOPE, Greedo is the one that tries to shoot Solo first but the alien's shot misses his target even though he's firing at point blank range. Solo shoots his blaster after Greedo's shot misses him and kills Greedo.

Now Lucas has tweaked with the scene for the third time, perhaps in an attempt to appease vocal fans that disliked the changes made to the film in its 1997 version. According to the newspaper, the scene in the DVD version of the film now shows both Solo and Greedo exchanging blaster fire at the same time."

Found on the cinescape site.

[icbm1987]

bah...

the original is best...

The man who made the kessel run in under 6 parsecs deserves to kill Greedo before he even unholsters his blaster.

Seems as if I shall check this "Hero" out...

Why were we talking about rabbits again?

*thinks of Kroenen in bunny suit...*

[Otto66]

Its the "Fitz Thread". Nothing is ever OT. ;)

Don't get me wrong, I liked "Donny Darko". Just
not crazy-cult liked it. Should you go see "Hero",
remember its much more than just another wire-fu
movie.

[Petersen]

Since it will be available online only, are you setting it up like a book via html/xml or a straight shot of posted images?
I think the current plan is to have them posted on this forum, straight shot.

I know the ASoH story will eventualy be on my site in an html click through style 'book'

[petriacce]

I think the current plan is to have them posted on this forum, straight shot.

I know the ASoH story will eventualy be on my site in an html click through style 'book'Hey, thanks Petersen. I'm just being inquisitive and nosey. :D

[Hellsaint]

The rabbit's name is Frank.
WHAT?! I just left for a few days to see a rabbit named after me?! :eek:

Thats horrible! Anyway thanks for sharing i guess :rolleyes:

[Otto66]

I think the current plan is to have them posted on this forum, straight shot.
I know the ASoH story will eventualy be on my site in an html click through style 'book'
I plan to have Fitz's pages tattooed on my hump. :D

Fitz? Look for a PM about that other project.

Athena? Your sweet. But didn't you call me a poopie pants on another
thread? :p

[JohnThompson]

Athena? Your sweet. But didn't you call me a poopie pants on another thread? :p
I remember reading that. At least she didn't say "The hump is SHITE! The hump is SHITE!"

[fitzroy]

Patriacce, be as nosey as you want. It's cool that you are interested.
If I knew what he was talking about I'd do same as Petersen. I'll ask my web guy.

Lucas is soooo out of touch. I won't be buying the DVD set. He could have released two sets, one tweaked and the original. I thought he was always about the money. Strange.
Otto, PM returned.

[Otto66]

When waxed, my hump is very nice. :D

Look for a new PM, Fitz.

[petriacce]

Petriacce, be as nosey as you want. It's cool that you are interested.
If I knew what he was talking about I'd do same as Petersen. I'll ask my web guy.Interested! This...this constant posting of teasers and updates on various people's status on their part of the project is some of the best marketing ever. I log on every day hoping to see the post of all posts.

I can't seem to get to Petersen's site right now but I believe he had some "html books". I'm thinking the sweet one about Bailey.

http://www.materialsunlimited.com/petersen/illustration/bb/bb1.htm

[fitzroy]

Just for you then dude, nobody else is allowed to look.

Otto, PM read, will reply soon.

[Petersen]

That is exactly the way I will 'collect' at least the ASoH (I can do it for the LoJo too Fitz)

[Otto66]

Hold on. Just had a reply. A new PM is on its way. ;)

[petriacce]

Excellent, thanks for the tease! Now if you can just get that writer whipped into shape. ;)

[Otto66]

...get that writer wipped into shape. ;)
Maybe "whipped"? And if it is whipped, than, YES PLEASE. :evilsmile

[fitzroy]

No problem Patriacce, writers, pffft! Hacks more like.

Otto, PM returned Scampy.

[Otto66]

No problem Patriacce, writers, pffft! Hacks more like.

Sounds like something "the Rob" would say. :rolleyes:

Last PM sent, I'm going back to work. Bye.

[Athena]

Otto, I did call you a poopy pants. It's a tearm of endearment here in old blighty.
And, I picked up the wrong disk and took it to work today, so I got a copy of the Lojo Story!!!
Highest bidder wins!

[petriacce]

Highest bidder wins!Okay, here's my offer:
12 assorted pens with my company's logo
1 pile of push pins
A sleak letter opener
Plenty of paper clips
A ceramic pig
2 random keys that I'm not sure what they're for

[fitzroy]

Well this is what I've been upto at work the last couple of days

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lyndonw/cartoons/voodoo2.jpg

:D

[petriacce]

Reminds me of Serpent and the Rainbow. You really do very nice pencil shading.

[fitzroy]

Wow, someone who's actually seen that film. Yay.
Thanks for the compliment aswell

[JohnThompson]

Well this is what I've been upto at work the last couple of days
You are one sick puppy.

They look cool-- is there a story behind them or are they just random sketches? I especially like the nervous chicken. I used to work with a Honduran guy who grew up on a farm, and his chickens were nervous too, but for a different reason.... :eek:

[fitzroy]

This was my day job work stuff for a voodoo themed slot machine. that's what I do.

Oh, and thanks for calling me a sick puppy. My work here is done :D

[petriacce]

This was my day job work stuff for a voodoo themed slot machine. that's what I do.Okay, that is freakin' hilarious; not your job but the voodoo themed slot machine. Your job sounds so much more fun than mine.

[fitzroy]

Cheers, what do you do?

[petriacce]

I manage banking relationship for governmental clients.

Okay, everybody now. YAAAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNN!

[Otto66]

Very Eric Powell. Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Athena? Would you like the see the marks on my backside where
I fell off the turnip truck? ;)

[fitzroy]

Very Eric Powell. Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Athena? Would you like the see the marks on my backside where
I fell off the turnip truck? ;)

Otto, I think we'd all like to see that

Petriacce, banking is fun, hang on, did I spell that right?

[petriacce]

Petriacce, banking is fun, hang on, did I spell that right?Yep.

Athena? Would you like the see the marks on my backside where I fell off the turnip truck?So, you came from the same place as Ruta?

[Maija]

Well this is what I've been upto at work the last couple of days :D

Those are awesome!

Any chance you could post pics of what the final slot machine will look like when it comes to that? I'm very intrigued.

[Otto66]

So, you came from the same place as Ruta?
D'oh! I wasn't even thinking of that when I wrote it. :o

Fitz? Pics to come. ;)

[morna]

Petriacce, banking is fun, hang on, did I spell that right?

I think you might have a stray "n" in there. ;)

sorry couldn't resist

[Otto66]

"bankig"? :confused:

[morna]

"bankig"? :confused:
NOOOOOOooooo....

So much for that funny funny joke. sigh

[Otto66]

Otto, I think we'd all like to see that.
Sure. Hows this.

[HBMomma]

Sure. Hows this.

Hmm...looks like (movie-)Rasputin right before the Behemoth exploded out of his chest...

[Hellsaint]

Sure. Hows this.

*GACK!* Is that for REAL?! :eek: Oh duhhh... *slaps forehead*
I was hoping for a nice camel hump actually :p

[JohnThompson]

Sure. Hows this.
Hmm....

Looks like you've found a new style of alien generation. FISTBURSTER, anyone?:eek:

Damn, Fitz! I just had a long "So, you wanted to own your own business" kind of day and didn't even check out my mail when I got home. Now I've had a bath and a glass of wine and I've opened your package. Hokey Smokes! That The Jam drawing is even better in real life than it is on your posts. Still gotta love the popping eyeball. Your pencils are incredibly clean. I sketch mostly as an aid to my design process and my sketches are full of multiple lines made as I explore where to define edges. I can hardly believe that you gave me bonus material as well. Your pencil of the graffiti dude is so awesome. Is the Happy Face/Skull t-shirt a real thing or something you thought up? I really, really like the print of upside down Hellboy hanging from the grip of Colossus. You just wait. Things may arrive in your post box unexpected like.

[fitzroy]

Ruta, will post a couple pics as soon as.

Morna, replace w for b, it was an appalling 'self love' joke.

Otto, eeewww! Nice.

JT, FISTBURSTER, fnar!

Sir Edward, Glad you got them and like them. The TShirt is a version of a smiley from years ago. The progra,m for UK comic convention in 86 (God I'm old) had a page of themed smileys, which were hilarious, I think done by Dave Gibbons. Looking forward to anything you've sent, told you not to tho'. :D

[fitzroy]

A few of the games

[Otto66]

These are the slots that are set up in Pubs? Right?
I know its "Company" art, but do you hide your signature
somewhere in the art?

Nice to see the pic did its job. Maybe I should have posted
it on the "What do you look like" thread? :D

[fitzroy]

Thought the pic was going to be an ass shot.

Yep, the machines go in pubs, clubs, arcades and casinos. No sigs but plenty of nob and fart gags

[Otto66]

Thought the pic was going to be an ass shot.
Don't really think ANYONE would want to see that. 'Sides its the
least gross pic I could find on the net. Some of the stuff that is out
there on the medical sites............ugh.

[fitzroy]

Are you saying that's not you and your 'growth'?

[Otto66]

Are you saying that's not you and your 'growth'?
No. Its just a pic of a cyst I found on a medical web site. 'Jeez. :rolleyes:

[fitzroy]

Well where's the fun in that?

[Athena]

Otto. I am disappointed.
Have had a funny day at work today. I must have thumped my boss ( who is also my second cousin) about fifty times today. He he he he he.
This is just a quick stop by. I've got to wrangle a particularly furry kitten into a box. No doubt I will end up with a thousand cuts and kitty wee on me. Again.

[Tad]

Fitz, I love the voodoo characters! Great style sense, the best of all the machines!! Make sure to post more!

[Otto66]

I must have thumped my boss.
Dear? The word "Thumped" may be misread here in the colonies. ;)

[JohnThompson]

Dear? The word "Thumped" may be misread here in the colonies. ;)
Only if you left off the "T". Plus, it would be doubly wrong with your second-cousin.:eek:

[Otto66]

Dude. If ya can't thump yer cousins... :D

[Zef]

Dude,

Just had a thought, how about a lunchtime sketch of Bruce Cambell as Lo Jo. Just something that came to mind. It's not as if you have anything to be getting on with at work or anything.

Snooch!

Zef

[icbm1987]

*laughing about the word "thump"... ahahahaha...*

I am so immature...

[JohnThompson]

*laughing about the word "thump"... ahahahaha...*
You won't be laughing when you're forced into an "arranged thumping" by your parents. :D

[icbm1987]

You won't be laughing when you're forced into an "arranged thumping" by your parents. :D

Aieee...

XD

[fitzroy]

Tad, thanks, glad you like them, will post more. Saves me doing new drawings for a while.

Zef, you shouldn't think of such things. Gandalf will be cross with you. And har de har!

Don't we all enjoy a good thump every now and then. Kevin, you should try it, thump by yourself for a while then see if you can get someone to join you. You may want to shave first.

[Otto66]

Huh. Thought this was an art thread. Not a "thump" thread. :D

Thump! Good you. Good for... (this poster has been edited for your safety).

Shocked to learn that its true what they say about artists.
http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0409/09/kidderindex.jpg

[fitzroy]

What is it 'they' say about artists?

[Otto66]

What is it 'they' say about artists?
Any number of things. None of them very flattering. ;)
'Course you know me, I always defend yous guys. :D

[fitzroy]

Glad to hear it Spanky.

[Otto66]

Glad to hear it Spanky.
(notes from the journal: artists are easily fooled, bet shiney objects distract them)

[fitzroy]

Check your email dude, ANOTHER finished page on it's way.

[Otto66]

Thanks Bru... er... ah... Fitz.

[Athena]

Can I be Nancy, please?

[fitzroy]

Oh yes. *cough* Yes you can.

[Otto66]

Can I be Nancy, please?
Long as you wear the outfits, sure.

[Athena]

I am Nancy now. WooHoo!

[Otto66]

So. Fitz?
Art of Athena as Nancy?
Or maybe photos? :evilsmile

[fitzroy]

Er, maybe, I'll ask the missus.

[Athena]

ha ha ha ha ha.
haaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha.
ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha.

Ottie: you'se a funny mister! Fitz has been beaten to it anyway, because the luvverly JT says he might do one when hubby sends him a pic (HINT).

[fitzroy]

Otto
How about this? Inked of course for the final thing.

[Otto66]

I like it. I'll pass it along and advise.

[icbm1987]

Lojo!!!

Nice work on that one Fitz... looks very nice.

icbm1987

[fitzroy]

Glad it's ok Otto
Cheers Kevin

[Petersen]

That lojo is awesome!! begging to be a patch or sticker.
Nice clean job fitz!

[Otto66]

That lojo is awesome!! begging to be a patch or sticker.
Nice clean job fitz!
Keep guessing. :evilsmile

[fitzroy]

Thanks Petersen, cool that you like it.
Otto, can I have a guess?

[Otto66]

Thanks Petersen, cool that you like it.
Otto, can I have a guess?
Uhmmm.... sure. :rolleyes:
(notes from the journal: artists tend to be forgetful once they reach a certain age)

And why haven't you wished zefo a Happy Birthday, yet? :evilangry

[fitzroy]

And why haven't you wished zefo a Happy Birthday, yet? :evilangry
Because I got confused.

Not forgetful, just...er...oh, banana?

[gary bolt]

Nice drawing Fitz. I agree with Petersen that it would make a great patch or sticker. The world could use a sticker like that.

[Otto66]

Fitz? PM coming.

[fitzroy]

Thanks Sir Ed
Otto, received. I want to ink it before anything.

[Otto66]

Well then. Chop, chop.

Oh, and since yer not reading "Hawkman" here is nifty
Ryan Sook cover you'd never see otherwise.
http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0409/13/hawkman35.jpg

[Maija]

I will third (or fourth?) the sticker LoJo suggestion.

Thanks for posting the pics of the machines!! Those are great!

[Otto66]

I will third (or fourth?) the sticker LoJo suggestion.

[Maija]

Pardon me but your "." key appears to be stuck. :confused:

[Otto66]

Fitz? Email sent.

[Hellsaint]

The Lojo pic is great fitz :)

[fitzroy]

Otto, email returned

Hellsaint, thanks.

Ruta, thanks lady. More soon

[Otto66]

We'll try something else. Look for another email.

[fitzroy]

Inked version

[Athena]

I should have that tattooed between my other two tattoos. It might be a bit freaky though, so maybe I'll get Fitz to paint it on a Leather Jacket for me. (and no, Otto, you're not allowed to rub it. The jacket, that is.)

[JohnThompson]

If your tattoos are were I'm imagining they are, they need to be spanked more than rubbed.

Great LoJo bust, Fitz!

[Athena]

They're on my lower back, you naughty boy!

[Otto66]

JT. Always lurking just waiting for Athena to post. :rolleyes:

Fitz? Lovely. Get the email yet? You'll be very surprised. :D

Athena? Rubbing married wimen can make all kinds of trouble. ;)

[JohnThompson]

They're on my lower back, you naughty boy!
LALALALALA!! Not listening!

I find reality screws up a good fantasy too often... :D

[Athena]

Athena? Rubbing married wimen can make all kinds of trouble. ;)

ha ha ha.
You're sooooo funny. And don't be mean. JT doesn't lurk. He "attends."

[fitzroy]

Otto, got the email. and replied. Cheers

JT, you just can't help yourself can you?

[fitzroy]

A couple of the elements for the Voodoo game

[JohnThompson]

JT, you just can't help yourself can you?
I'll be helping myself to some more later, too. :evilsmile

Nice work on the Voodoo game art. Nobody ever shows the practice from the perspective of the poor chickens, and you have nailed it perfectly, sir! Rocketh on with thine own bad self, m'lord!

[fitzroy]

Shall do, rock that is.

[jinnaboy]

yo, fitz. i apologize in advance for my laziness to dig back on a 96 page thread, but are you making a flash game? anyway i can help. coz its sort of in my field

[fitzroy]

Thanks for the offer Jinnaboy, but it's a 'physical' printed on glass slot machine, see a couple of pages back for examples.
Now stop posting and go and trawl thru my thread.
Geez, some people are just lazy.

[Otto66]

Otto, got the email. and replied. Cheers
Any chance you could PM me about your reply?

[fitzroy]

Sure, will do it now.

[Otto66]

Thanks.

The latest word from Ryan Sook is that after Hawkman,
he'll be working for DC, Marvel and DarkHorse. Hmmm...
Wonder what DarkHorse work he has coming?

[fitzroy]

Ryan Sook...HACK




He he.

[Otto66]

Ryan Sook...HACK
He he.
Quiet, "Rob".

[JohnThompson]

Otto, no avatar? Whaa-?!

[fitzroy]

Quiet, "Rob".

Schneider or Leifeld?

[Elegance Liberty]

Otto, no avatar? Whaa-?!
This turn of events is surely a sign of bad things to come. :(

[JohnThompson]

This turn of events is surely a sign of bad things to come. :(
You were expecting something good to come from Otto? :confused:

[Shadowfax32]

Otto doesn't have an avatar? The apocalypse is upon us!

Michelle

[Elegance Liberty]

You were expecting something good to come from Otto? :confused:
Well, yeah... I guess.

I mean, he is funny sometimes...

I'm just upset that I made Fitz feel old. D=

[Maija]

Otto, no avatar? Whaa-?!

Maybe he just wants to parade around with nothing on today.

[JohnThompson]

A case of the Emperor's new clothes, is it? Perhaps he has an avatar, but it isn't visible to us lowlies...

[fitzroy]

EL, thanks but it's just too late. I'll fetch my pension and bus pass tomorrow.
Wasn't like this in my day.
You kids don't know you're born

[icbm1987]

Otto, no avatar? Whaa-?!

He's copying me again...

[Tad]

Otto's not a big fan of pirate days/weekends.

[Elegance Liberty]

Oh man, it's Pirate Day/Weekend?

Crap! Gotta pull out a 'Skies of Arcadia' av... but man, I'm so attached to this one. D=

[E. Spears]

I'm all piratey again. Yarr.

-ERS

[Athena]

I don't wanna be a pirate... I like being a cowgirl.
Yee Hah.

[fitzroy]

Finally got WE3 comic, and it's fantastic. Buy it now kids.

[zefo]

we3 ?

[fitzroy]

Latest from Vertigo, cyber enhanced pet killers. Pets that kill not killers that kill pets.
Written by Grant Morrison (?) drawn by the great Frank Quitely.

Eh? I don't like things to do with haminals (yes, haminals) that are nasty. Give me chopped off arms and legs, and zombie brain carpets, but haminals? They are all so cute and fluffy.
And if anyone calls me George again, I will kick their ass. And I am in no way jesting.

[Ose]

Finally got WE3 comic, and it's fantastic. Buy it now kids.

Good, now I have backup for the "oooh....that looks like it's good" instinct that hit me when I saw the ads when I was poking through the few comics the store I worked at over the summer carried. :D

Now, I either wait until I get a ride to check out the awesome comic shop my friend keeps telling me about, or I go bug Cartoon Kingdom to order WE3 in for me.

[fitzroy]

Hey Ose. Morrison usually does great stories, and Quitely is a superb artist (IMO). There's strangeness and a great deal of humour in there. I hope you get it soon and that you aren't disappointed.

[fitzroy]

Thought it was time I put up a pic, so here's a quick sketch, like it, so I'll probably ink or paint this one. :D

[zefo]

nice.

what hapened to the luncht ime sketchs?

[fitzroy]

Thanks, the lunch time sketches turned into playing Unreal over the LAN at work or working on the LoJo strip. This one is a 'got bogged down with the work I was doing, so took five minutes out to do a sketch' sketch.

[icbm1987]

Hmmm... Lojo looks a bit more muscular in this version... or it may just be the perspective...

UT is fun... you get to play at work?

icbm1987

[fitzroy]

Hey, it's Kevin.

It's a perspective thing, but it is just a sketch, just in case there's anything else 'off'

Yep, play Unreal at lunch

[Maija]

Nice sketch, dude. You make very effective use of your spare minutes. When you're not playing Unreal. :D

[fitzroy]

Cheers Ruta. I try my best. Hadn't put anything new up in a while.

[Otto66]

WOW! What a cool sketch. You should do a fan-fic. :D

Final dialogue and cover statement complete. Emailing them
to you this evening, "Bruce". ;)

David? Sending you copies also.

And, I went back to page 22-23 of this thread cause I
forgot the title. Its "Unfinished Business".

[Petersen]

'Cover statement'????

Did I miss somethin?

[fitzroy]

I think it's the title block for the story, not sure tho'.

[Otto66]

Playing video games on the web? Travis didn't start doing that until
he got famous. Maybe that explains why he's so late with all of his
assignments. Nose to the grind stone, bub. Athena needs a new hat. :D

Think we could see an end to our project by OCT 15? :confused:

Petersen? :confused:

[Petersen]

Think we could see an end to our project by OCT 15? :confused:
Petersen? :confused:

If it's released on a Wed. It would be the 13th or 20th.
Speaking stricktly for myself, I think I can be done by either of those.

[Otto66]

Fitz? Think you can stop play'n that game long enough to hit
one of those dates? :D

[fitzroy]

Not a problem pooky pants.

[Maija]

Either date works for me also.

Tad's HBJr long-form spectacular will definitely be done by then too, because the art's just about done and it just up to me to fine up the dialogue a little. They could all come out on the same day and it would be like a trip to the Comic Book Shoppe and everything is free! :D

[fitzroy]

Hopefully JNapper will read this (one of us should also PM her) and we can arrange for a closed thread posting. Apologies to who suggested it (I can't remember) it would be great to have the art on one thread, with no reply posts, and an open thread for thoughts and gushing appreciation for the artists. The writers are all hacks and shouldn't have their egos inflated by any plaudits. :D

[Otto66]

ruta? Once we arrive in England?
I will hold him. You can hit him. Over and over and over and over. :D

[icbm1987]

I bet you that she's been reading it this whole time, and if you're unsure... then PM her...

deadlines can be evil if unmet... (curse you Blizzard)...

But my fear is he'll like it!!

[Petersen]

38% done with the art of my last page!!

If you post it on the 21st, it will be the bestest birthday present you've ever given me. Just a hint, pooky-pantses.;)

Either that, or give Fitz his beating on the 21st.... :D

[fitzroy]

Otto, a beating would be most welcome, maybe you could use me as a toast rack aswell.

Ruta, yes, yes I would. Does that make me a bad person?

JT, PM me your address dude.

[JohnThompson]

PM sent.... should I be worried?

[icbm1987]

OMG!WOOT!

100 pages...

And yes... JT should always be worried...

[fitzroy]

JT, yes, yes you should.

Kevin, er, yay!?

[Otto66]

But my fear is he'll like it!!
Always best to add sardonic comments when doing a proper
beating. This way, your hurt the flesh and the psyche.

*WACK* Your sister is a trollop.*WACK* :evilsmile

JT? Spoke to your wife. No birthday for you this year. Sorry. :(

Dude? 100 pages? WooHoo! :D

Petersen? Sad little fella just sits in a corner. Won't eat, won't change his
clothes just ranting, "Tweak,tweak. Just one more tweak. Tweak. Will
that woman ever be done with her tweaks. Tweak." :D

[Petersen]

nah, I'm sitting in the corner tweeking because I eat my pigments

I told you you should cut back on the lead white or at least switch to titanium white. :rolleyes:
