CBR Tournament Round 1 line up!

So Round 1 of my latest art competition has been drawn up.
The 4th Character Battle Royale, hosted over at Outcast Studios

The Competition:

Every artist picks one character and said character stays with them for the duration of the tournament.

I chose Goku from Dragonball Z.

Goku in standard and Super Saiyan forms


Each artist is then paired up against someone else and both have to draw a fictional fight between their 2 characters.

We had around 50 artists enter this time, the biggest ever in a CBR tournament!

Round 1: I was drawn up against animatrix1490 who had chosen Cucumber from Cucumber Quest, a webcomic I think.

This artist has an extremely impressive portfolio of work and this'll sure be one heck of a fight!

Just how do you make one of the most powerful warriors in the universe, capable of levelling planets and supernatural abilities, fight a little bunny rabbit?!

Well I had 6 overall ideas and sketched them all up (I'll post them all on here after the tournament probably so as not to give any ideas to other contestants any ideas :P)

Went with one and I can honestly say it's probably my most ambitious piece yet. Unfortunately I now only have 6 hours to shade and colour it though so better get a move on!

Have already had some approval though from comic book artist Stephen Downey and writer Malachy Coney who said that my lines were tight and that the piece looked like it was taken straight from a page. Great compliments, greatly appreciated and a very welcome confidence boost! Thanks guys!

I'll be hoping to progress into the second round and hopefully beat my own record and make it into the third round for the first time!

The Scottscars 2023

    The 2023 Scottscars For the film industry, 2023 was a year of soaring highs, particularly in animation, as well as crippling strains- see the SAG-AFTA strike or the state of Marvel and DC. So grab yourself a Venti Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato, with sugar free syrup and enjoy the 2023 Scottscars- the awards they all want to win, they just don't know it yet. The running order as always: The 2023 Scottsars Awards Last years predictions 2024 movie predictions My 2023 Stats Because the Scottscars are 100% my personal opinion, here’s what we’re working with! I had a very busy year doing the festival circuit across the world for my own short animated film, Candlelight , so I didn't see as much as usual in terms of feature films- although I have watched 75,348 short films this year. Movies watched: 72 Cinema : 29 times, 11 Imax Most watched actor/actress:  Jackie Chan Most Watched Director: Brett Ratner (oh dear 💀) Notable films I haven’t seen this year:  Tar Maestro...

The 2022 Scottscars

  The 2022 Scottscars Hello readers! Hope you’re both well. 2022 was a funny old year in the movies. There’s certainly a sense of Hollywood trying to find its place in the new post-covid landscape, to varying success. Disney’s MCU experiments had mixed results, with the Disney plus shows varying wildly in quality and Thor 4 being an attempt to make a film about cancer into a stand up comedy routine.  The year started with Will Smith’s slapping Oscars performance, then the world heard about Amber Heard’s dog stepping on a bee, Ezra Miller continued to be the absolute worst, Henry Cavill being in and out and all about with the Witcher and Superman, Warner Brothers showing absolutely zero confidence in their products by shelving 2 COMPLETED movies and James Gunn deciding to toss out the entire DC universe and rebooting it from scratch. But one thing that DOESN’T change is the most obscure and least renowned film awards of the year (It’s tradition now, so we're stuck with it). We...

Guess the Sketch!

So I've decided that my artwork's went waaaay downhill since I moved to digital sketching and inking. I still prefer digital for non messy colouring but for sketching, nothing beats a good ol' pencil. So for my first serious pencil sketch since my Sherlock Holmes sketch back in about 2008 I decided to sketch ......... Why don't you guess? Here's my first initial outlines, which to be honest looks like a troll in drag. Anyone who guesses right before I update the post with my progress can pick what I draw next! That's right people- FREE COMMISSION! Post your guesses here on the blog if you have a googlemail/gmail account or in the link on my facebook Dear, dear I've got my work cut out for me
