STUDIOBLINKTWICE, new stuff (hopefully!) weekly!

[Lorenzo]

...and here's the pencils...!

Oh, and there's something fun coming up in the next day or so, kids!! Be sure to check back in!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Never let it be said that I don't try my best to keep this thread interesting! Following the cool feedback we got about that surfboard thing a while back, I'm gonna try to do show more of the "Away from the comic page" type things I get up to. Let's start with a T-Shirt! Every now and then I get frustrated by the lack of cool comic-art based T's and stuff out there in the shops, so I make a few of my own. Here's the design for one I did a few weeks back...



...and here it is on the T...and finally, (turn away those with weak dispositions!) here’s your ole' pal Lorenzo doing my best "Twelve Monkeys" demented face (or my "Normal" face, as "friends" would call it)...




Normal service will be resumed tomorrow!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Well, after all that silliness yesterday, let's get back to the comic art proper, huh? Here's another strange MOON! villain sketch...

Oooh! He's a weirdo!!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

More from Malcolm 11 today, peoples! Here's the pencils stage of a shot of Tonka having a VERY bad day...!

Gravel, anyone?

More new stuff up in here before you knows it!!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Well, sorry for the lack of posts, folks, but I've been unable to fight my way to a working on line computer the past few days, hopefully all that is out the way though, so on with the posts!

Time for more MOON!...

[Lorenzo]

More frantic Blink action today, folks! Here's Pygmy and Kweet diving for cover behind a grounded hush as bits of Tonka fly all over the place!

Yikes!

More soon, gang!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Happy Mondays, ma' friends!

Here's some scribbles of a cheeky chump on a Hondah-Hovva-Zump!

Man, I bet that thing isn't even TAXED. Hoho!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Well, the MOON! wheels roll on, and I've moved from the free-form style sketch work you've seen up until now to more focused designs aimed specifically at characters/environments/vehicles/machines & ships for season 1. Although it'll take a while for this to filter through to this thread, I thought I'd post up a little head-shot which should give you an idea of the style/finish of the new stuff. Can't tell you much about this fellah, as he's get to be green lit by my bro as a character for the series, but I hope you enjoy checking this out anyways!

Oh, and this is the 99th separate image I've posted in this thread, so to celebrate number 100, I've got something RATHER special coming for you next! Boy, I ain't kidding!! Keep checking in guys!!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

So, I return!! Well, you know what they say, folks, the best laid plans of mice and monkeys and all that, needless to say, this is my 100th images posting here in the ole' Blink thread (well, technically 100th and 101st), and as such, I had hoped to bring you guys something rather special to celebrate. Thus, I spent a few late nights putting together a cheeky little m-m-movie style imovie trailer for MOON! I had it all ready this weekend, but, frankly, I've not been satisfied with the quality of the web-hosting I had planned for the piece, so have had to put it's release on hold for now. Sorry! Rather than hold up this thread any longer, I figured you folks would rather I just got on with the daily postings, and I'll do my best to get this little gem up on line for you asap!

Here, then, (to prove that I DID do it!!!) is my planned link image, and a few screen grabs, hope you likey, and here's to the next 100!! Cheers!

Lorenzo!

OOH! New-look hero-spy!! Nice work, guys!!!

Okay, so, a little while ago we did an interview on the AWESOME INDIE SPINNER RACK with the boss-man Charlito. The good news is you can listen to it on-line! Wanna know about the release plans for MOON!? How about the origins of Malcolm? Or maybe you're more interested in the future of One Night in the City? Listen, if you will, to me and the C man discuss all this and much, MUCH more in this special UK Invasion Blink Twice special! Woot!

The show is RIGHT HERE, though you should really listen to as many of the other 'casts as you can, 'cos this is truely a great station. Enjoy!

Here's the poster that the Indiespinner guys asked us to do to advertise the UK Invasion 2-part special:

[Lorenzo]

Okay guys, for those of you who think I never do anything sketchy, here's a shot of the pencils from the last piece, along with some muckety-muck shots of my Thumbnail and rough sketch! Holy smudgy pencils, Batman! Note that there was originally also a forth MOON! buggy in the piece, which I pulled out of the final lay up.

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

So, here's a detail from the Indie Spinner Rack poster. I'm posting this at bigger-than-big size, as I wanted to show the benefits of using pencil lines as opposed to inked lines in the pages of MOON! My inking, having always been a bit shaky, has never blown up very well. That, and the fact that it is essentially pixelated more by the cleaning process than pencils. So, I though I'd show you this detail of the Indie spinner pic, much larger (in terms of screen size) than the original artwork. I think it blows up pretty good! Plus, it may even be big enough that those of you who are inclined to put this stuff up on your bedroom/studio/office/toilet walls can get a good A4 print off it. Or use it as a wallpaper right on your desktop! Lovely!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Well, here we are then, the weekend calls, and I'm off to see my bro, Bob, and our webmaster general Marky this weekend!! With all the Blink boys together for a few days you just KNOW the ideas are gonna fly, so I'm looking forward to diving into that ole' Blink melting pot! In the meantime, I wanted to post another pencils panel from MM11. This shot exemplifies just why I consider Bob's writing to be absolutely perfect! When I read a script that describes a single panel with an 11-stage sequence of Reggy, Chester and Fikov fighting with Sebastian the Bat for Dang's Whirdly Staff whilst on the back of Kenneth, the other Bat, flying precariously over the rooftops of Happy Hippy Dale, I just think: THIS is what comics are about! Here's to you bro! You're a genius, keep this mad stuff coming, there's nothing I'd rather draw!

[Lorenzo]

A couple of ONITC web flyers here, one using a panel you've seen before, the other using a new 'un. The full colour version of the second image can be seen over at ONE NIGHT IN THE CITY, along with all the other panels so far in sequence, of course.

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Well folks, I been off inking pages from MM11 the past couple o' days, here's one of them, filmed in "So-damned-much-going-on-I-can't-figure-out-WHAT'S-going-on-o-vision". Hoho!

Lorenzo!
