Royal: Aldercy

Aldercy the disfigured beauty.  Crazed and troubled, she sits alone on her throne high above Royal spreading her influence from afar.

Royal: Three's a Company

Pola- Royal's protagonist. 

Now that I have set up everything for my gallery I have commenced work on Royal.  After two years I would like to put some time aside for it once again.

Royal: Three's a Company originally was released on the 26th Febuary 2013.  I had a small run of one-hundred produced and they all sold out.  having improved in both my artwork, presentation and writing I am looking at making it the comic I always wanted it to be.

It is a selfish venture, as I am not doing it for profit or with an audience in mind.  I am writing it for myself and my sister that invented the stories back when we were kids.  I hope others appreciate it too but really I just want to give the story the time it deserves.  

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

This year has been great for my artistic ventures.  I have really enjoyed the cons, had the most successful MCM ever and now I also have a gallery exhibition on the horizon.

This picture was drawn not only to celebrate the new year but also to commemorate the new year of Royal.

Lately I have been rather busy with a new job in teaching and also getting 18 new pieces ready for my exhibition Reflective Rhythms, but when the new year comes I shall commence work on Royal.  James is prepared and ready to go with a few stories and I am well on my way to re-creating the original Royal to make it more like a comic.

The good news is that it will all also be free to read on this blog once it is created.

This year alone I have drawn 236 new finished pictures and there is still a good few days to go yet.  Hopefully next year will be just as creative.

A big thank you to all of you again!

Have a very Merry Christmas!

Dizzy

Some are consumed by darkness whilst 

others use it to their advantage.

Pola

Having no depth perception means Pola has to get up close 

and personal.  One of many reasons he is feared.

Pola

Out of the main cast in Royal, Pola is the one I always have had issue defining, but after a lot of messing around I finally settled on this image.

I wanted him to look craggy and monstrous but also retain a "bloke" image, as after all he is just another person in the crowd.

Royal Remastered

Due to work, art commitments and life in general Royal, my first comic creation has been on the back burner for a long time (two years!) Now I have sorted a lot out, found a team and allocated some free time, I can now announce that Royal is on the horizon.

I have started work on remastering the old comic and have written a few scripts for extra story content. 

It may be some time yet but I hope to have it ready by Christmas, however I want it to be mistake free, unlike the last version so it may take me a little longer.

See the list below for what to expect.

Under the Knife

Just a space filler:
A picture of the Alien Queen that I drew some time ago.

In seven and a half hours time, if all goes well I shall be put under the knife.  For two years I have had permanently inflamed and infected tonsils.  Resulting in on and off fever, loss of voice, vomiting and constant throat infections.  

Well now it is all going to be sorted out thanks to my fiancée lobbying the local MP.  

I doubt there will be a halt in productivity but if there is this is why.

In art related news having just finished the MCM all but five of my copies of Royal have been sold.  Granted my first print run of my first comic was probably too big, but now they have nearly all gone!

Due to this and a lot of interest I have decided to dust off my scripts for The Golden Lands and the next longer Royal tale. 

Having completed the first part of the photo shoot for one of them today artwork will be following soon.

I also have a lot of new regarding the MCM and collaborative projects but more shall be discussed about those later!

Mr. Bear #01

Mr. Bear returns!

Previously featured on TwinSwordComics Mr. Bear disappeared with that website.

Due to popular demand he is back!

Royal: The Scarlet King

The sequel to my comic Royal: Three's a Company.

This time I have gone with a much more free flowing impressionistic approach, allowing the mood to come across more.  With the first instalment I got really sick of using reference all the time to get lighting right. This time I am using much less reference so I can work quicker and enjoy what I am doing.

This is the final art but the text probably will change as this is the first draft.

But here is a little teaser of what is to come.

Merry Christmas!

All of my cards were hand drawn this year so as a Merry Christmas here are some of the cards that I drew for people last year.

MCM: What I Shall Be Bringing!

I shall be bringing a lot of brand new premium quality prints in various sizes to the MCM Comic Con next weekend (26th-27th October).

Here's just a small selection what I shall be bringing:

Myself with my comic "Royal" and artbook "Hidden Beauties"-both of which I shall have on my table at the con! (two of my framed pieces are present in the background).

Demonstrating the three sizes my prints will be available in.

A small selection of my prints that I will be bringing with me!

As well as a variety of prints, my comic and art book, I shall also be sketching for people!

Work for my recent Print and Play game.  Details to come soon!

LFCC: Summary

I arrived at the London Film & Comic Con on Saturday 6th July. After a slow start (people didn't seem very interested in the Artists Alley for much of Saturday morning!), things really picked up for my table. 

My comic, 'Royal' is now completely sold out, and I am currently in the process of producing the second edition. This second edition will have updated artwork, any small errors in the first edition are being refined, and so on. In short, it's going to be a vast improvement. 

Also, thank you to everyone who visited my stall and picked up prints, a comic or my art book Hidden Beauties. To those who came over simply for a chat, I appreciate you checking out my work regardless!

So all in all, despite the quiet morning, I sold out on several prints again, Royal's sold out and I met some brilliant fellow Artist Alley people. Also, it was nice seeing the regulars once more!

A special thank you to Deakin and Marisa Brook of Newfangled Press/Inanimate Objectives for their hospitality over the weekend. Both myself and my Fiancee appreciated it!

My next convention appearance will be at the London MCM Comic Con in October. I look forward to seeing plenty of you there!

Me with my table. For some reason, Earls Court loved to over-do the yellow lighting, hence this photo's yellow glow!

I'm Exhibiting at LFCC!

The London Film & Comic Con has arrived this weekend, home to an abundance of excellent artists, celebrities to meet, take photos with and have your merchandised signed by, and much more.

This is the second time I will be exhibiting my artwork in the Artists Alley section of the con. 

As of now, I am not entirely sure what my table number is, but I will be sure to let you all know via my Twitter (@twinswordtrades) once I know what section I am in! 

I'll be selling a bunch of prints, including some brand new stuff which I have not exhibited before! My comic Royal will also be making another appearance (it's first at the LFCC too!) and so will my art book, 'Hidden Beauties'.

Swing by my table to have a look. I never force people to buy things-I just appreciate the kind comments about my art, and like meeting like-minded people!

So to keep up to date with my LFCC news this weekend, be sure to follow my Twitter and keep an eye on my feed.

I look forward to meeting plenty of you.
