More on that CHOW

Well once again it turns out I have a very singular take on things-

I probably should have gone with the prevailing memes... and booby girlies with a bit of insect strategically stuck on...not that booby girlies is bad but I thought it was all about armour.


The movie version of starship troopers annoyed the hell out of me because the soldiers weren't properly protected with armour- and looking at the other CHOW-ites- well nude and unprotected seems to be how they like it. Protected except for the soft pink bits that is.

forgive them Ron Cobb.

All I can say is- if I'm stuck on an alien planet of giant killer insects - I know which armour I'll be wearing.

Night of the CHOW

An evening and a little bit of mornings worth of CHOW. As you can see they are all done very fast and sketchy. But for me the ideas are important- and just trying to get them down quickly because I need to be working on the book series.
The subject was 'insect armour'

Where Now?

Where indeed?........ to find the treasure...... and the booty.


Arrrrrr.

Some WIPs from the current book

Its Grace the Gecko and her Go karting friends.
I was going to have a green cicada on the back powering/pushing the go karts (a bit rescuers like) but unless I have time they'll remain "turbo snail" powered.

(I have a lot of letters/books still to go.)

Kashchey Chow Roughs

All done very quickly

Few more Aussiecon scans

And on a completely different topic- I was having a look at The Loop site-
and you know I really wonder why I don't just work from photos like everybody else seems to be doing-
instead of doing it the hard way the way I do- ie just drawing/doing it from my head.
All this stuff classified as illustration and they've just worked from/copied a photo of a pretty girls face say....
I dunno....

expect some pretty flowery girls if I cross to the dark side.

In the meantime heres some kooky characters and a nudie girl from Aussiecon( and all off the cuff/from my head). And some doodling on the cover of a sketchbook on the plane home.

A few images from Aussiecon4

Some of the drawings I did while at my table at Aussiecon4- all A2 except fpr the bottersnike.
The photography isn't flash I'm afraid(literally) but the drawings were fairly nice- there's more that weren't sold that I've brought back-
but there were about 6 I did that I didn't get a shot of before I gave them away- including some which were prizes for an Aussiecon costume event.
I'll scan in the ones I have left and they'll look much nicer than the photo's do..
I'll write a lengthy post about it all soon.
