JOHN CARTER: 1st OFFICIAL TRAILER


Well, here it is. It looks incredible but, honestly I don’t know what it is, because it is NOT Edgar Rice Burroughs’ A Princess of Mars.





Colour me disappointed.

THURSDAY WORK-IN-PROGRESS





This piece, which I have only been able to work on sporadically, is beginning to take shape. I have given it the rather unimaginative title "Paris Morning".


There will be a fantasy element to the final painting but I won't reveal that until the very end (providing I can pull it off). Nevertheless, so far... so good.

FIRST LOOK AT JOHN CARTER OF MARS!




Disney/Pixar's Andrew Stanton, director of the upcoming film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Princess of Mars, held a press conference and showed off some concept art from the film.





On the table at the conference stood a couple of concept models of the Tharks.

DWARVES!

Two of the youngest Dwarves, Fili and Kili have been born into the royal line of Durin and raised under the stern guardianship of their uncle, Thorin Oakensheild. Neither has ever travelled far, nor ever seen the fabled Dwarf City of Erebor. For both, the journey to the Lonely Mountain represents adventure and excitement. Skilled fighters, both brothers set off on their adventure armed with the invincible courage of youth, neither being able to imagine the fate which lies before them.

These three brothers, all sons of the same mother, could not be more different from each other. Dori, the oldest, spends much of his time watching out for Ori, the youngest; making sure he’s not caught a chill or got himself killed by Wargs or Goblins. Nobody quite knows what Nori gets up to most of the time, except that it’s guaranteed to be dodgy and quite probably, illegal. Dori, Nori and Ori are intensely loyal to each other – and whilst they are perfectly happy fighting amongst themselves, woe-betide anyone who means harm to one of these brothers.

Distant cousins of Thorin Oakenshield, these two doughty, Northern Dwarves join the Company out of a sense of loyalty to their kin, and also because they have a substantial sum of money invested in the venture. Along with Bombur, Gloin is the only other married Dwarf in the Company (there being a shortage of female dwarves in general). His wife is an acclaimed beauty with a particularly fine beard. Gloin is the proud father of a young son, Gimli, who will go on to become part of the famous Fellowship of the Ring.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?



I have been stupidly busy for almost the last month. Aside from working on artwork for a book cover (which is what the teaser at the top of the post is from. I shall show you the whole thing as soon as I get the okay from the author/publisher) as well as designing the corporate logo for the said publisher.

I am also reading a book from another publisher and preparing to do cover art for that.

I have also been putting together DARK WORLDS 6 (available real soon!) as well as working as the administrator of the magazine's website.


I have also been busy at work and at home. It is summertime and in the little tourist town in which I live that means extra work for everyone. At the moment our town is overrun with bikers. It's like Sturgis, but in the North.

So I haven't had much of an opportunity to do stuff just for me. I've only produced two pieces. One of them is this pen and ink sketch. (Warning: Semi-nekkid woman ahead. Look away if that sort of thing offend you!)


I have been experimenting with Painter X's pen tools and I have managed to get results that look surprisingly like actual ink on paper.

I also managed to sit down with my sketchbook for a couple of hours. I produced two pages of drawings. Here is one of those pages (If the sight of nekkid women offends, please look away):



I like the central figure and I think I will work her into a full painting (eventually).

So that's where I am at the moment. Fun stuff.
