It’s been a while since I dropped in another page of Weirdbeard, so here’s number 5.
Yeah, I know… Crusade, Knight, Pirates… the timeline is all tangled. I ignored all historical accuracy in order to shovel in as many fun things to draw as possible. Ooooh first rope, then chain mail!
I recall being very proud of the research that went into the rigging and crow’s nest on this page. I was young and impatient back then, but I learned a lesson about the pride that comes from getting some nice reference material in order.
Here’s page 3 of Weirdbeard. Hope you’re enjoying these things. And yes, I know that Boma, Zaire wasn’t around in what was thought of as ‘Pirate Days’, but YOU try finding a city that starts with a B in a country that starts with a Z. Tricky. You bend the rules of time and space just to finish the poem.
I had an excuse to plow through some old comic book pages I drew the other day, and ran across this- I drew it during my first year as a freelancer. December 1991, business got slow over the Christmas holidays and I thought I’d better keep busy. This had been rolling around in my head for quite a while back then, and I took the time to draw several pages. The poetry’s not art, and I’m not entirely sure I’m happy with the cute little story- it hinges on a theme used in an Indiana Jones movie at one point, and that just seems stupid, now. But it was useful as a sample of my work at the time. I took the pages to San Diego Comic Con a year or two later, back when SDCC wasn’t quite the juggernaut it is now. Anyhow, just in case you needed something new to look at in place of Guessing Game pictures (which we’ll come back to) then here you go:
