I'm pretty sure I've posted this before too.. apologies if I have.. It's still a damn amazing movie and a pretty unique piece for me, seeing as the main image was produced using the various paint brush tools in Illustrator to create rather than the vector pen thingy (that's the technical name for it).
Struggling to find any time to do any work at the moment.. losing that hour as the clocks went forward didn't help much either.. damn you nature! 
Before I begin.. Dave is on FIRE again this week! Love his (Victoria's) Secret Agent type.. very well rendered!
Continuing the theme.. here's a sketch and finished piece for Max from 'Where the Wild Things Are'. I deliberately left any detail out of the suit in order to make use of the negative space and draw you (the viewer) into the image.. I wasn't being lazy... honest!
I grew up absolutely loving the 'Where The Wild Things Are' book.. not least for the amazing and beautiful artwork, but also the magic of the story. Can't bring myself to watch the movie at the moment though.. but there are plenty of amazing renditions of the books characters out there by some really talented artists, and that's what triggered my curiosity. I decided to see whether or not I could produce something that someone would one day consider to be as good as some of the other illustrations out there...
Here's a Buffy sketch based upon the 'End of Days' Tooned up maquette by Electric Tiki
Some plainly obvious choices to be had for this weeks word... and why not? I'm kinda glad that Dave stuck to what he knows, because by the standard of his finished Catwoman it's really paid off.. BRILLIANT! Nice framing, lovely execution... HE'S BACK boils & ghouls!
I had a few ideas for this weeks word, which was quite refreshing for me! I decided upon The Green Lantern because I'd not drawn him up before. Originally I had envisaged the power of the ring creating a big boot to kick him up the arse because in the Justice League cartoon he's such a miserable bastard.. But as the drawing evolved I moved away from the 'joke' element.
Here's another super quick sketch/colour up. Done in 15 Minutes start to finish.. I think I must have a fire up my spout today for some reason??
Here's the original sketch.. again, another 'guerrilla' piece. Took longer to colour up than 'supergirl', but still turned around pretty quickly!
Intergalactic adventurer.. and bad ass gun slinger.. think Boba Fett's better looking sister!
...and here's the sketch! As you can see, I was working on a small piece of paper and ran out of space.. which is why her hand is missing!!
Here's some 'guerilla' artwork I did this morning.. basically a 5 minute sketch, whacked in to Illustrator and coloured up in about 15 minutes... not bad I guess!
I loved the He-Man cartoon growing up... especially Evil lyn... what a dish! (erm... I mean.. what a complex and interesting character she was!).
Another week slips by.. another word! I thought 'WHISTLE' might have been a tough word, but in the spirit of creativity I created something unique, and really enjoyed the experience.
Here's a pic of THOR I just did for the ARTJUMBLE Blog. came together nice and quickly too as you can see from the sketch.
Just submitted these 3 sample pieces in to AMMO MAGAZINE www.ammomagazine.co.uk in the hope that they like what they see and include me in a forthcoming edition of their lovely book.
Taa Dah!!

2 Entries for the word of the week, due to the volume of content provided by Dave for this word..
