This page did turn out well, Mr. Sharp. I gotta say, it looks as if a tense standoff would have begun here wit Annalisa and Baird.

great style but damn it's annoying that everything you write ends with 'L.' while it's professional and courteous, to me it's just designed to push some obscure pseudonym you probably always wanted on yourself.
probably just a habit for you now.

LiamRSharp In reply to dreamhome [2010-12-02 17:15:35 +0000 UTC]

I don't understand. Does L. mean something I'm not aware of? It's just easier than writing Liam every time, and I'm of a generation that still feels it's important to sign your notes/letters/emails to people... Sorry if it's annoying you!

No 'L.' here this time...

i get the whole reason to do it, it just looks weird seeing someone's signature nickname thing all over their page that only they seem to use. i think professionally, yes, but i would definitely feel less intimidated if i could be conversational with someone, and i think if they gave best regards and signed every comment that would kind of segment everything. maybe it's all in my skewed perception. oh well. you do what makes you happy, i'm from that angst-y x-generation you've heard so much about

No shit. I didn't know you used Pentels. Which kind? the color brush or the actual pen brush?

The actual brush. Wonderful tool!

Great face yer giving us here. I love the rawness to the brush marker inks. Gives the page a sense of restrained motion. How big is the actual piece?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

LiamRSharp In reply to Biohaz-Daddy [2010-04-10 16:11:59 +0000 UTC]

It's on regular DC/Wildstorm paper, so half again as big as an actual comic. Cheers for the feedback!

Yeah, I've been old-school right through my Gears run. It's just so right for the book!

Muady In reply to LiamRSharp [2010-04-10 14:24:15 +0000 UTC]

Yes it works well with the look of Gears very well.

If it was too clean and tiddy (not that yours is a
mess) It wouldant suit the feel of Gears...

Indeed. As I said in the message above, I've been old-school right through the Gears of war run. It's my love for early 80s 2000ad and classic european stylings coming through...

Cheers for that!

LiamRSharp In reply to DavidWFisher [2010-04-10 14:21:30 +0000 UTC]

Man, seriously - the last two, three years have been the busiest of my life! All good stuff, lots of new and interesting opportunities I've never had before - particularly writing. I've now written three screenplays as well as my novel and a novella. Been art directing at least three projects, concept designing for ads, film and games, and now... well can't talk about that yet, but keep an eye out for Captain Stone later in the year - picture in my gallery!

Exciting times for sure!

Best,

L.

Thanks mate! Funny, as I get older it's the 'boring' stuff I like best - faces and backgrounds. I used to just want to draw dynamic figures once upon a time... LOL!

Mine were all P.J.Maybe Judge Dredd stories, plus and origin of Finn story and some covers (most of which are in my gallery.) But there are lots of trade paperbacks I've done you can buy - Lord Havok and the Extremists, The Possessed, Gears of War, and the P.J.Maybe stories were collected too.

Take care!
