Frog Jump, watermelon pips!

So I'm down in Durham for the next two days and I have all that time to spend drawing and the like. One of the things I really wan't to get back into is animating and I want to make a series of GIF'S for watermelon pips. So here is the first experiment, it needs some tweaking. Keep checking back to see more and if you're doing any animation, frogs of illustrations at the moment please drop me your blog address by email (found above at contacts) or on a comment below. I like to see what's going on around me.

Thanks and don't eat the pips! 

Na,na,na,na,na,na,nanana! BATMAN!

It’s been hard for me to take a photo of this without my own reflection showing in the image due to the black reflective surface. Also I’ve been ill with a chest infection and all other terrible inflictions that come with the cold.  So I apologise if my sickly looking face is in some of them.

One of the things I intended to do from the start with this piece was to make Gotham a gritty looking place. Therefore I didn’t put too much detail into the initial pencil sketch, but rather built it up as I went along.

Donkey Kong Watermelon Pips

After getting a ridiculous conversation with my friend on the phone about Donkey Kong smashing real plumbers to a pulp, I had to draw him. I was looking at gorillas for inspiration when I was working on this and noticed the size of their cranium!

First Pip, Welcome to watermelon pips!

I’ve been posting on blogger for two years or so as part of a small collective, under the name bewaretheblackrabbit. All is dandy on that front and I will continue to post, but I feel it’s about time for a personal blog. Some of the things I draw don't feel right on a collective blog and I'd like to be more involved with the online blogging community. I found it harder to converse representing part of a collective, people weren't really sure exactly who thy where talking to. 

I'm hoping that with this blog I'll be able to get feedback on my posts and inspiration from others. However It's lonely on your own and with no followers so please follow me, and I'll be sure to follow back.     

For my first post I thought I would draw a small comic strip to introduce myself.
