Q&A 9: McGraw/arcana

Thomas MacColl asks:

"Could the Brian x McGraw handymen crossover mooted in this week's comments ever really see the light of day? "

A serious answer: the Giant Days characters have to be handled with...

Call for new Q&A questions

ITEM! It's been a few months since I've done a Q&A, so if you have a question on creative matters, Scary Go Round history, or anything else (within reason), stick it in the comments below and I will think on it and do my best to answer. Previo...

Solver 7 cover

Solver 6 "drops" on Monday, here's the cover for Solver 7, due August.

Good luck working out what this issue is about.

Bump off bumped up

I've written previously about the Great British Bump-Off; it's still out there in the murk, being tinkered with. 

It's not like NEMS pt2, where I wrote a script too difficult to draw. I had a look at that yesterday with a view ...

Natural man

I've been working to capacity and trying to catch up over the last few weeks, which has left very little sketching time. But here's a quick one, one of my many attempts to do something more substantial with pen and paper. I don't think I'll ever h...

Autumn Special complete

The Solver Autumn Special will begin on June 13th, and appear here in PDF form for $3-and-up subscribers the same day. I finished drawing it today and I think you will enjoy it. It's got the lot, and concludes the "seasonal specia...

Beauty And The Beast from memory

I've never seen the Disney Beauty & The Beast (the late 80s Linda Hamilton TV vehicle is another matter) but I am vaguely aware of it. Recently I saw a superb exhibition about it at the Wallace Collection in London (2022-05-25 16:20:33 +0000 UTC View Post

REVEREND IN LOVE: BONUS MATERIAL

Reverend In Love had been in my back pocket since summer 2021 as a...

Read STEEPLE: REVEREND IN LOVE now

Steeple is on a break while I consider a potential 4th arc. It's kind of a wait-and-see on how volume three (out in August) does, as I can only draw one series at a time.

But there is one piece of Steeple activity in 2022 for the faithful, a...

Conan (The Barbarian)

On Saturday I was forced to sit still all day, which is always dangerous. I find that time goes at about half the normal speed when I don't feel well, which is obviously bad because it prolongs the misery, but as one turns the corner toward recove...

Beer garden

Had to make a pub with a beer garden yesterday for use in a few upcoming comic pages. It took about an hour, which is longer - a lot longer - than making...

Katamari colour process

Here's a video of my colouring process for today's nutty page. Some people have remarked that it looks a bit like the old Scary Go Round pages. I thought about making it in Adobe Illustrator as I would have done back then, but the panel wasn't big...

Nemulons

Here are some unused character designs from earlier this year. Nemulon-13 was designed for “the darkest timeline”. He’s experimental!

Candidate cover art

Here's an illustration I did for a 7" single by the band Candidate for their single 'Rough As Fuck b/w Windows & Pinback". I'm hoping this will open the door to me being asked to design some beer cans, I'm still waiting for the call from the (...

STEEPLE NEWS

The Steeple summer special is complete and looks great. Max Sarin and Sammy Borras have buffed this thing to a high shine. My intention is to release it to $3-and-up Patreon subscribers in late May, and through Gumroad. Hopefully I can get it into...

Wobbly Heads

I posted these on Instagram a couple of weeks ago. Wobbly Head is the Wicked Things story that I planned to round out the initial arc with, it would have been issues 7 and 8 and would have completed the Miyamoto plot. Alas, there ...

An unscheduled cover

I've begun work on a second part of Lottie's careers-related story. I'm still in a kind of work limbo waiting to start on various projects, but it'll emerge eventually, as the first part went over so well on here. Here's the cover. It says "Autumn...

I’m still alive

Good news, I’m still alive despite the Covid. I had one day where I wore my dressing gown over my clothes with a hot water bottle shoved down the front, shuffling up and down stairs like a pensioner, but today I am feeling better. I won’t be r...

Flickr

I've got Covid. In the likely absence of red hot content for a few days, why not visit a long forgotten corner of my kingdom - my Flickr page. You may remember Fli...
