2000AD Shalverization
Hey Darkies! That’s white mans bandwith you’re stealing. Been getting three new Twisted Tales together for 2000AD and to speed things up and to make up for the fact that I can’t draw I’ve enlisted Declan ‘Rimjob’ Shalvey to polish up my scribbles for me to scribble over them again.
Dec is my only friend in the biz really and we’d deffo be pals even if we both didn’t draw comics. Maybe not. I don’t know. He’s a bit light in the loafers. Nah, I love him and he knows it. Check out his blog for which I can take all the credit, some really amazing shit, especially the life drawing. Here’s the first collaborative test. The first row is mine which was accompanied with a text description, the second is Dec’s breakdowns and the last one is me again. Too much tone in it but I was just mesing.
Here’s a funny one, when I went over to him for the Tequila Launch, my story about the kid cheating in the exam was just out in 2000AD and I had named the school ‘Shalvey High’ to give him a shoutout but they moved the Twisted Tales logo over it! I’ll post that page next week. Still have unposted pics from the ill fated Galway signing too which I must share.
Right, I’m off to shit on to a Rusk.

Nice - the slight shifts in framing and angle really power it up dynamically. Didja ink it on the oul tablet as well?

Hey Silly Philly, Yep its all Wacom all the time these days. Saying that though I bought some dip nibs last month just to mess or ease my conscience.

[...] The next one is called The Prisoner and this is the one that Dec did the breakdowns for. First time we’ve worked together since we held down that lad and smeared— can’t talk about that here. [...]
