<br />
I'm guesting at Hull Comic Con on the 18th so have some goodies to take with me - samples below.<br />
<br />
I will be doing commissions and selling signed prints if anyone wishes to partake :)<br />
Can't wait to meet all the other attendees and guests!<br />
<br />
For now back to Doctor Who Adventures pages and Draw The Marvel Way - #lifeisgood!<br />

<br />
Taking up most time and providing most enjoyment are the monthly Doctor Who Adventures strips! I'm already at issue 11 penciling and inking away late into the evenings - and loving every minute!<br />
<br />
I'm reliably informed that I am now a PRO - so I'll let that sink in for a while and continue with a broad dreamy smile.<br />
<br />
11 issues in and I have also been spending a lot of time with the Panini crew at Comics festivals and most recently the Doctor Who Festival... what a treat! I managed to geek out a little as well, as I managed to bump into several brilliant people on the rounds - Tony Lee, Brian Williamson, Lew Stringer and series writer Sarah Dollard!! cool eh!<br />
<br />
I'm also getting to work with seriously great writers on the strip and Paternoster gang stories. Apart form the ever present Jason Quinn (Editor extraordinaire) I've also managed to work with James Peaty ( Super Girl, Green Arrow) and the very popular Tommy Donbavand(Scream Street) to name but a few!<br />
<br />
I am trying desperately to do more StormChasers for Unstoppable Comics but the Doctor does demand a lot of attention.<br />
<br />
A super secret project with Panini also involves Marvel Super heroes which I can not say anything about now - but which makes me grin ear to ear every time I receive a brief from the Panini editorial team.<br />
<br />
For now I'll simply leave my Festival Exclusive Poster hear and go back to drinking lots of coffee!<br />
<br />
What a wonderful life!<br />
(bit Christmassy that)<br />

<br />
Back at the blogface!<br />
<br />
This month saw some ups and downs, although to be honest it's all mostly up at the moment :)<br />
<br />
The only down was that I had a project cancelled - which although sad does leave me available for other work.<br />
<br />
That came soon enough with Jay at Unstoppable offering me another book in his brilliant super hero line - which I snapped at instantly!<br />
<br />
Some art from Interceptor 2 below. Interceptor and Stormchasers are returning again soon!<br />
<br />

Doctor Who Adventures continues to be a joy to work on. I have recently found out that we have a new writer working with us who has appeared in Super Girl and Batman book rosters, so I look forward to his stories. Not sure if it's public knowledge yet so I'll leave it till next time to reveal :)</div>
<div style="text-indent: 2px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-indent: 2px;">
Also a lovely guy name of Jeremy Bement, who produces a great podcast about Dr Who comics called "Panel to Panel" was kind enough to interview me last week and the results of my inane drivel can be found on the site. Check out his facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jeremy.bement.1?fref=ts" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/jeremy.bement.1?fref=ts</a></div>

<br />
For most of it I've been on a sofa sniffing, snoring and generally feeling sorry for myself with the worst cold in living memory (I'm sure it was). It's not manflu either as my wife had it the week before with exactly the same results!<br />
<br />
The extreme downside of this is that not only am I a week behind on my schedules but also because of that I can't go to Ogwen spring course either! (Ogwen spring course is an annual karate course by Peter Spanton and Higashi Karate) I was hoping to grade and more importantly support my club mates!<br />
<br />
Anyways, with all the ills in the world I can't really complain - I'm sure I'll be able to make it up to them some way!<br />
<br />
What did happen this week was the release of issue 1 of the revamped and REGENERATED Doctor Who Adventures from Panini!<br />

This is my first Main Stream gig - and what a first to get - DOCTOR BLOODY WHO :)<br />
<br />
I have considered myself a professional illustrator for some time now as I have been making a living from doing what I do - but this one is a step up through the publishing ladder and I'm so chuffed to be working with Jason and John and the whole team at Panini on this great mag!<br />

The focus of the mag is on the Doctor's universe, it's stories and educational nuggets thrown in, making it both true to the shows core and complementary to it's current incarnation!<br />
<br />
I grew up with comics - they helped build my vocabulary, underpinned my reading ability, fueled my imagination and inspired me to read and create my own works. That's what comics should do and magazines like DWA, I feel, can do that again by talking to the demographic and not down to them! Fingers crossed that the readership see that, like it and enjoy it... and of course tell all their mates to buy it :)<br />

<br />
Been a while since posting<br />
<br />
The last 2 months have been a blur and I find myself in a position I've been working toward for some time.<br />
It actually happened - I get the call from a major publisher and what's more it's to work on a major license and character.<br />
<br />
I'm still smilling broadly while I type this ready to go and produce more pencils for the monthly strip!<br />
<br />
The same smile that covered both my wifes face and mine as we read the email that turned up in my inbox at the end of January. Then we hugged and danced around the room - all the time not quite believing what we'd read on the screen in front of us!<br />
<br />
I had already had the pleasure of working with Jason Quinn on of all things a reinterpretation of 'The Chronic Argonauts' for New Baby productions - an HG Wells short story famed for the first appearance of a TIME MACHINE in literature - it predated the 'Time Machine' novel by 7 years apparently.<br />
<br />
We took a chance on the book - it was low budget and little return - but I can certainly say that the story Jason put together was worthy of a box office outing - I loved every minute of it! <br />
<br />
Anyway Jason moved on to greater things and late last year returned to the UK after his incredibly successful time in India as Head of Creative Content at Campfire Graphic Novels.<br />
<br />
We'd spoken a few times about some bits and pieces but they hadn't come off for one reason or another. Of course I had my fix of QUINN by working with Tim - Jason's older brother who had kept me busy on a great project callled Street for the Endeavour charity.<br />
<br />
Jason's return saw him becoming an Editor at PaniniUK presumably unnaware that fate was conspiring to get us to work together again! <br />
<br />
So it transpired that Doctor Who Adventures was to have a change in publisher and Panini were to be the new guardians of the much loved magazine.<br />
<br />
So in late January this year I got a belated Xmas pressie from Jason the new Editor of the mag as he asked me if I fancied a go... OF COURSE I exclaimed and we pushed on from there!<br />
<br />
So now not only do I get to work on Dr Who (DR bloody Who Mum!!!!) - I get to work with a brilliant writer and Editor , with a fantastic production team and an excellent colourist (John Burns) to boot. To say nothing of becoming a most gratefull junior member of a band of creatives such as the magnificent Mike Collins, David Roach and Brian Williamson to name but a few, who have worked on this incredible character and property!<br />
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>I'm propper excited :)</b><br />
<br />
<b>Below is the first page coloured beautifully by the brilliant John Burns as well as a work in progress and some early initial sketch work for character comcepts!</b><br />

<br />
I'm manically inking the final pages of Cy Dethan's wonderfully written "The Indifference Engine 2" as well as dipping in and out of Unstoppable comics' "Interceptor" series. <br />
<br />
I've had my days filled with all kinds of interesting projects this year and below are a few images from three of them.<br />
<br />
I can't show or tell of the work I have been doing with the brilliant Kevin Gill (2000AD) or the projects to be embarked upon in the new year with the magnificent Tim Quinn (Marvel UK) but when the ball and dice get rolling I'll be sure to put up some samples.<br />
<br />
I have been able to work on the brilliant Aces Weekly with David Lloyd (V fo Vendetta) with the talented Ant Jones and fingers crossed that I'll be able to return to the publication again sometime soon.<br />
<br />
So back to it - or I won't get a mince pie<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas (or whatever it is you do this time of year) to all :)<br />

<br />
A job I was hoping would come off this month has been delayed by a few months - hoping it will pick up again in the new year - fingers crossed!<br />
<br />
On the plus side I got a great response from the editor involved and have always enjoyed my work with him... you know who you are J!<br />
<br />
And then straight after I get some agency work and a continuation of the online game work I have been doing recently - so ended up a great week overall!<br />
<br />
I've also been invited to Essex's first ever ComicCon and will be in attendance next August.<br />
<br />
I was also pleased this week to get 500 likes on my facebook art page for which Jason Thacker was randomly chosen as the recipient of a copy of Terminus At Fenton's Green!<br />
<br />
The next target is 1000 likes which will provide a randomly chosen liker with a 30x30 cm canvas of Captain America!<br />
<br />

<br />
I know that it's surrounded by HUGE names and talent<br />
<br />
I know the odds are LONG<br />
<br />
But you have to be in it to win it.... RIGHT?<br />
<br />
<br />
Imagine my surprise when I clicked randomly on a link to the British Comic Awards in FB and found Terminus At Fenton's Green in a list populated by huge British talents.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://britishcomicawards.com/previous-years/longlists-201314/" target="_blank">http://britishcomicawards.com/previous-years/longlists-201314/</a><br />
<br />
I know there is probably zero chance of even making a nominee spot but seeing it there in that list made my day :)<br />
<br />
And so for this post - pages from the book I think... <br />

<br />
Got some great projects going on and one that just might make me smile for a long time to come!!<br />
<br />
More of that should it come off.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, some sample pages from Part 1 and 2 of the Indifference Engine 2 by Cy Dethan and to be published by Markosia in 2015!<br />
<br />
Mike Summers has provided the colours and we are hitting the back end of production in readiness for print!<br />
<br />
so here goes...<br />

<br />
I thought that for this post I'd show a production process from a page of Interceptor : Genesis - from Unstoppable Comics.<br />
<br />
I work with JayDee the publisher at Unstoppable on several books and we have tight budgets! So in order to keep things flowing and get pages out as quickly as we can I ink digitally on to pencil roughs.<br />
<br />
I do sometimes produce full finished pencils for these pages but time is a luxury and so getting the page done as expressly as possible is the focus. Because I am pencilling and inking, I don't have to convey all the visual aspects of the page to another person (the inker). After that the colorist (Mike Summers) adds his creativity to the page. Mike and I work well together and have collaborated regularly for a couple of years now!<br />
<br />
So here is the pencil rough for page 11<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, not much in the way of shade and lighting! That comes with the inks and Mikes colours.<br />
Time wise I can produce between 3 and 5 of these types of page a day.<br />
<br />
Next the ink stage...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Both of these pencils and inks were done digitally. This speeds the process up a lot for us. Of course if we are giving away a page in say a kickstarter, I will produce 'real world ' A3 pencils. These digital ink pages I can produce at between 2-3 a day.<br />
<br />
and now the colour...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The lettering is applied after this stage - often as seen above I will drop in sound effects at an early stage to work around the visuals.<br />

<br />
Work load has kept me away but I really must reach out to the interwebs more than I do.<br />
<br />
So here's the first post of the rest of my life!!<br />
<br />
<br />
I think what I will be doing is making posts single subjects and smaller and making more of em....<br />
<br />
So up first will be some commissions and prints I've done recently and then some art from projects that are recent and indeed current.<br />
<br />
I'll go with the good doctor first and follow up with some other spandex heroic based frivolity :)<br />
<br />

<br />
However it has garnered much interest and the Kickstarter has translated into a great pre-order campaign. You can pre-order from the link below and the orders include the Kickstarter awards!!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://unstoppablecomics.com/blog1/2014/04/24/we-failed-at-the-kickstarter-but-we-are-unstoppable-and-will-continue-as-the-pre-order/" target="_blank">http://unstoppablecomics.com/blog1/2014/04/24/we-failed-at-the-kickstarter-but-we-are-unstoppable-and-will-continue-as-the-pre-order/</a><br />
<br />
So in typical UNSTOPPABLE fashion the project is still on and I get to work on Eisner award nominee Brandon Eastons brilliant script!
Below is the pinup for the mini-series most wonderfully coloured by the most able Mike Summers!<br />
<br />

<br />
LSCC has been and gone and was a fantastic event!<br />
<br />
I managed to network with some great people, pick up some superb books and have a brilliant weekend.<br />
<br />
The work load has doubled since then and I am currently asking offers to wait until September before starting new productions... wow!<br />
<br />
One of the projects I am scheduled to be working on is INTERCEPTOR for Unstoppable Comics!<br />
This character is from the UK with his origins based firmly in British folk lore. But of course it has a contempory feel as well as being great fun.<br />
<br />
It's written by Brandon Easton (Transformers) and coloured by the ever present talent of Mike Summers.<br />
<br />
The Kickstarter campaign for the project can be found at the link below.<br />

<br />
Please share or even back us - It will be a great book and Unstoppable is a publisher you should have in your collection!! <br />
<br />
I will be posting again soon about several other projects currently in production. Till then a page from another book by Untoppable soon to be released...<br />

It's convention time!So the London Super Comics Convention is on at the end of the week (15th/16th) and I'm going to be there launching "Terminus At Fenton's Green" from Markosia along with the uber talent and all round good egg Adam Cheal.<br />
<br />
We'll be signing books on Saturday and Sunday.<br />
<br />
The schedule for the signings is here...<br />
<a href="http://www.londonsupercomicconvention.com/schedule.html" target="_blank">http://www.londonsupercomicconvention.com/schedule.html</a><br />
<br />
I will also be drawing sketches at the Markosia booth on the day and delivering commissions to those that have pre-ordered<br />
<br />
A4 sketches in pencil or pen are £20 - if you buy a copy of the book they are only £15 - what a deal :)<br />
A3 Pencils on Bristol board are £50 <br />
<br />
If you want to pre-order a sketch before Thursday 13th just shoot me an email and after that or ordered at the show I'll have to add P&P<br />
<br />
Hopefully I'll get to meet loads of new people... I'm hoping to meet Charlie Adlard as we are both due to be interviewed by the same video production crew. And of course looking forward to seeing all those faces from the Markosia crew.<br />
<br />
Here are two commissions already done!<br />
<br />
see you there :)<br />

<br />
So the year has begun with an educational video, a trip to Southport, some great stories to work on and some fun pages put together for the brilliant Unstoppable comics!<br />
<br />
Thats just the beginning!<br />
<br />
Adam Cheal and I have also wound up the Terminus At Fenton's Green production cycle and it's off to print for our baby which will launch at this years LSCC.<br />
<br />
The big news on that is we have been able to get the brilliant Sean Phillips (Marvel Zombies, Batman, Hellboy) to write the foreward - so we are super excited.<br />
His closing comment... <b> </b><br />
<b>"This comic has it all, murder, monsters, mayhem and mammaries! What more could you want?" </b><br />
<br />
Also the talented Ari Carr of comic and cookies has given our first review and it's a good one - read it here ...<br />
<a href="http://comicsandcookies.com/2014/01/20/review-of-terminus-at-fentons-green-by-adam-cheal-and-russ-leach/" target="_blank">http://comicsandcookies.com/2014/01/20/review-of-terminus-at-fentons-green-by-adam-cheal-and-russ-leach/</a><br />
<br />
I will be there with Adam Cheal at LSCC and the afore mentioned video crew and hopefully get a chance to meet the brilliant Charlie Adlard who they will also be interviewing!<br />
<br />
I have 1,2,3 secret projects which I can't tell of - but if just one of them comes off I could well break a bone cartwheeling down the street - more on that when it occurs!<br />
<br />
Thats to say nothing of the brilliant stories from Cy Dethan and Steve Tanner that I'm pencilling at present. <br />
<br />
In the meantime here's a couple of sketches to provide something to look at :)<br />
<br />
more soon...<br />

<br />
It seemed very strange at first as I am lucky enough to spend my working hours, for the most part, with pen, mouse, pencil or pointer directed toward some kind of drawing medium.<br />
<br />
But as all of my artistic heroes (Buscema, Steranko, Lee, Starlin, Bolland to name a few) came to understand and appreciate - the art is not just in the creation but also in the approach.<br />
<br />
Professionalism and desire must also come hand in hand with a real love of what you do and an overwhelming yearning to keep doing it.<br />
<br />
That is certainly how I feel at present.<br />
<br />
Although a win on the lottery would not go amiss ;) <br />
<br />
Now, where did I put that sharpener??<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'll finish off with an example of how I'm feeling at present. During the week I took a break from drawing Cy Dethans "The Indifference Engine 2" and found myself... well.. drawing.<br />
<br />
Below is the 20 minute sketch :)<br />
<br />

<br />
Scardiff 2013 was a small affair but had huge amounts of talent and quality content on show.<br />
<br />
I was there on the Markosia booth and met all the very creative creatives from the British Showcase Anthology roster.<br />
<br />
All true gentlemen and great company and gallons of talent was in abundance!<br />
<br />
I also managed to talk to my publisher (get me that sounds posh) Harry Markos.<br />
<br />I am happy to say that on meeting Harry, his drive and commitment came over in waves and I left the weekend feeling extremely content in knowing that Markosia are on a mission to get quality content out there and look after their creators as much as possible! It was a bit like being accepted into a Markosia family where you know that even though the industry is not in it's greatest condition, you had people looking out for you!<br />
<br />
I finally got to meet Adam Cheal in person and he is every bit the human being I had expected. Witty and charming and oozing with ability and drive!<br />
<br />
Following on I made several connections with other talented writers on the day that time and space willing I will be able to follow up on. I am awfull with names but shout out to Jimmy, Jimmy, Phil, Adam, Chris, Chris, Mark and Amrit! phew sounds like the rollcall from Camberwick Green. If I missed anyone off my apologies - there's only so much room in my head and half of it is filled with Kata!<br />
<br />
Staying on the subject of writing partners and talent, I can now officially announce the next project that I will be producing linework for. I met Time Bomb's Steve Tanner and we signed a Markosia contract with Harry for a brand new graphic novel , Foxglove. It's a steam punk affair and you can see the cover pencils at the bottom of this diatribe!!<br />
<br />
So I will be running Foxglove and Indifference Engine 2 in tandem and attempting to make both of them my best work to date :)<br />

And... on the subject of meeting new people...<br />
<br />
At the end of the day we did the bar thing and who should sit down with us but the legendary John Higgins! He and partner in Crime (Sally) had been at the show producing a rather spiffing zombie pic on the show floor. He gave me some great advice in the bar and some very encouraging words and Sally was a joy to talk with. What a day, capped off with a great evening, before dissapearing into the howling winds and driving rain that was probably quite fitting for the weekends scary theme :)<br />

Another reality, apparentlyAfter finishing off the linework for OGN 'Terminus at Fenton's Green' I am now onto my next book with Markosia. All that is left is some pinup work, some super exclusive artwork for the LSCC and the book jacket design.<br />
<br />
So onwards to the next big production...<br />
<br />
Cy Dethan's 'Indifference Engine' caused quite a splash with widespread critical acclaim and I have been fortunate enough to team up with Cy on the second outing - The Indifference Engine 2 : The Suicideshow.<br />
<br />
Cy's work has included great titles such as Starship Troopers and Cancertown and I feel fortunate to be working with him and the rest of the team on the book.<br />
<br />
The team also includes the brilliant lettering of Nic Wilkinson and finds me partnered once again with the sublime colour skills of Mike Summers.<br />
<br />
So to kick it all off here is a sketched panel from the first part - can't give too much away just yet... but there will be more soon.<br />

Now as if that wasn't excitment enough I've also managed to
partner with another great British writer on a project that will run
concurrently with IE2... more on that soon.<br />
<br />
Better busy than not... Idle hands and all that :)<br />

<br />
Adam Cheal has written the most magnificent story for the original graphic novel Terminus at Fenton's Green (cover below) and I managed to get the gig. The Inks are finished and UK comics publisher Markosia are going to publish.<br />
<br />
Not only that but the book will have a limited edition hard cover version and be an exclusive for Markosia at next years LSCC!<br />
<br />
I have two other graphic novels on the board at contract stage for Markosia as well - so I think I can say 2013 has been a good year so far!<br />
<br />
more soon!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile here is the cover and it's been coloured by the incredibly talented Jimmy Kerast... nice!<br />
<br />

<br />
Unstoppble is still well.. Unstoppable and origins #3 is close to finish on linework.<br />
<br />
Adam Cheal also asked if I could step in and help out with a late entry to the British Anthology Showcase to be released by Markosia later this year... and of course I couldn't refuse.<br />
<br />
And of course there are now even fewer hours in the day :)<br />
<br />

I'll be working with Eric on Stormchasers as well and there may even be a guest spot on another unstoppable title... but thats still hush hush for now!<br />

<br />
I'm working more with the great team over at Signs and Voices - you can see more about them here <a href="http://www.signsandvoices.com/" target="_blank">http://www.signsandvoices.com/</a><br />
<br />
I've finished up the linework for the Issue 1 Revamp of StormChasers - more here <a href="http://www.unstoppablecomics.com/" target="_blank">http://www.unstoppablecomics.com/</a><br />
<br />
I'm in to part 4 of Street Cred working with the legend that is Tim Quinn - more about Tim here <a href="http://www.mightyquinnmanagement.com/mightyquinnmanagement.com/Homepage.html" target="_blank">http://www.mightyquinnmanagement.com/mightyquinnmanagement.com/Homepage.html</a><br />
<br />
Foxglove got a great reception at the recent LSCC and you can find out more about it's writer Steve Tanner here <a href="http://www.timebombcomics.com/" target="_blank">http://www.timebombcomics.com/</a> (we will be starting production in October for publishing and release by Markosia)<br />
<br />
I've recently finished off a cover and 8 page story beautifully colored by the talented Mike Summers. This is for the Anthology mentioned in the title of this post and the cover is attached below. Markosia will be publishing this book in October 2013.<br />
<br />
Now on to a cracking story by Adam Cheal the force behind the British Showcase anthology and the brand new series Toxic Storm. The book we will be partnering on is "Terminus at Fentons Green"and looks like it will be published by Markosia as well.<br />
<br />
So things are hotting up - more art and news as it comes in :)<br />
