Portrait

I have been pretty busy with commissions and comic work of late.  

I haven't had much time for anything else. So here is a quick portrait to brighten all the black and white lineart of late.

Happy Birthday to Her

Today is the birthday of our good friend Anna.  A model often used in my personal work and also a friend to all of the team.  She is a real asset and a trooper in life.  To commemorate her special day both myself and James have drawn portraits of her.

Happy Birthday Girl!

Enigma

This portrait has taken me two months to finish, which is way over the time I would normally spend on a picture.

It is of a pal of mine.  Despite being a complete enigma that we shall never understand, myself and those that know her would agree, she is the most honest and genuine person out there.  Despite the hardships she faces, she is always there to help those around her.  A true gift.

Here is a portrait to commemorate her.

"My focus is to dedicate myself to those around me and improve their quality of life. If I can do this I can die happy." 

                                       - Anna Harris 2014

"There is no point in worrying about what is outside of your grasp.  Focus on the small things, what you can change, make your way through life in small constant steps, not random leaps and crashes."

                                        - Anna Harris 2011

Shady Art

A new piece of line-art that I played around with.

Longest Art Commitment Ever

The past week I have been working on a picture for a friend.  I am using a mixture of 0.5mm and 1mm brushes to make it.  It has taken me longer than anything I have ever drawn, hopefully it should be done soon.

Below is a few close ups of the face.

Red Eye

Next Steps

So far I have been working solely on the face.  I am not sure how far I am going to take this but it is proving to be a good exercise in my patience and skill.

It is the first time I have worked on a picture with a break, normally I sit and work until it is done, even if it takes me most of a day.  however I feel in order to improve I must work in stints instead of one long stretch.

The start

 I started with the eye and thought I may as well carry on with the face.  Clearly I am working from photo reference - a pic of my close friend and confident Anna Harris, who also is over on Pages and Panels.

She has been going through a hard time lately so I thought I would do this for her.

The continued progress, last night and this morning.

Twin Sword Trading: New Horizons

The MCM treated me well in many ways.  I was successful, sold a bunch of art, comics and also met some brilliant people.  As of today a much broader range of talent has come to Twin Sword Trading.  Royal is now able to branch out and expand as a selection of very talented artists have come on board to showcase their talents.

L n' R T Collaborations, will now be bringing you more Royal based stories as well as taking over Mr. Bear.  Myself (Lewis Terry) and my sister (co-creator of Royal and the world surrounding it) Rebecca Terry, will be teaming up to deliver the stories that we have created over the past 14 years.

James Stayte has already created some work alongside me on the short Janet and in the future shall be lending his hand to a few Prince related tales.

Three's Company by Stayte

Mark Pearce, the creator of the awesome Ronin Dogs, is at work on the next Three's Company short.  A flashback of how Janet met the guys.

Pola by Pearce

Alseymore, a fine manga artist is also working on some Three's Company shorts.

Too Sunny Outside by Alseymore

Anna Harris, a writer and budding manga artist is co-writing parts of Voodoo and Lollipops as well as drawing the odd Mr Bear.

Me by Harris

Hopefully we shall see another couple of artists join the team as well, I am just waiting for the conformation.  However that is a solid team of six all working on Royal and it's world.  I am lucky to have so many people interested and dedicated to this comic.

And thank you to all of those that read it too.  Expect more comics to be going up on the site soon.
