Some IDW editors will be at Perth's Supanova con in June this year, so I've been reading up on portfolios and the like.

The above is link to a blog by Shawn Swanson aimed specifically at people who want to break in to comics. It cover portfolios, writing, drawing, scripts, options for self publishing, grants, do's and don'ts and so on. He even gives portfolio reviewers some pointers!
Well worth a read IMO

If you appreciate what I do, the little contributions will help me pay for the 'core membership,' and it will also serve as an extra motivation to keep going.
Thank you in advance. 😊

Fragments
I have no idea what you're meant to do with these 'Fragments'. But I keep getting awarded more of them. *shrugs*
Go have a look here

Yeah, I'm back baby...
Ok, after a 6 month hiatus and gutting my gallery presence here, I'm back baby... In a limited sense at least. There's no way I can re-upload my entire past gallery of over 700 images from the past 22 years, so I'm going to use this account for my published commissioned work only and my 'other' account (those who know me well will know what name this is under. If you don't know and want to, then PM me here and I may tell you) for general and personal work. For now I'm starting with my general commissioned stuff.
Where have all the inkers gone?
Where have all the comic art inkers gone on Deviantart? There used to be dozens around posting regularly and available for collabs and the like, now it's just a ghost town. I have literally hundreds of collected comic art penciled pinups and covers etc. on my HDD in a high resolution around 200/300dpi or large-sized-scan-at-a-lower-resolution-but-good-enough-for-inking that I'd love to colour some day. But they need to be inked first. Now... by "inked" I mean a proper 'tracing' over the original pencils either traditionally by using pen/brush and actual ink, or digitally using clipart studio or some such. If you think 'inking' is just adjusting the levels sliders until it looks dark enough or by running over the grey pencil scan with the burn tool, then this is not for you. There'd be no money involved in this. It's just a collab with a colour artist that's worked professionally for Zenescope and Marvel. I'd be perfectly happy for you to use the results in a portfolio of your own
