MORBID MILTON
Just finished a new 8 page story called Morbid Milton, written by
Dwight L MacPherson. The story was fun to draw,
loads of crazy monster-toys, brains and weird shit.
This is the first comic I've done which I won't have to
colour myself, thank God. Dwight has a colourist and a
letterer lined up. I only realised when doing the Morbid
Milton promo piece above how much I hate colouring
comics, used to be fun but now I hate it.
These are the first character sketches.
We settled on this one, I added a bit of colour
to see how it looked and Morbid Milton was born.
Then I done the supporting characters, Puss and Orson.
Orson the monkey was hard to get right.
This is a sneak peek at page 4 or 5, I lettered this
page myself to make sure all the text would fit.
Above is the thumbnail sketch of the splash page. I done this
and many other quick layouts with my fancy schmancy Wacom tablet
which has proved to be an invaluable comic tool. Big thanks to FrankP
for hooking me up with a reconditioned one.
And here's the finished B+W version, I sneaked a
few childhood favourites in!
Dwight has opened a Morbid Milton forum over at Deadlight Studios

Excellent stuff, looks like it was great fun too. I hate colouring as well, I always feel like I wreck perfectly good drawings when I colour them.
Bob sez: Nice one Claire! Yeah was fun but hard working to such exact directions. I don't feel colouring wrecks my pics, just a lazy bastard really
