Sneak Peek (Art Book): The Boss

"He’s known throughout the building as a huge bear of a man; powerful, commanding, but not unkind. His humongous office occupies the top floor of the company skyscraper, where he often enjoys a cigar while taking in the beautiful metropolitan view. And he’s earned it; he built his company up from nothing. He’s incredibly proud of his business and the staff who keep it running. His reputation as a gentle giant is mostly true… except if you ever get sent to the top floor."

Sneak Peek: Dadbod preview

"I loved riding with Angel; holding onto him tight, the wind in our hair, the two of us getting out of this town. It felt like we could go anywhere. I think I needed that.

Angel tilted his head back slightly. ‘Gettin’ a little dadbod there,’ he called. ‘I can feel it pushing’ into my back.’

I laughed. It was true. 

As I said, I guess I’d gained some pounds since my school days. You know I used to be the tall skinny one? I ran track, I played football,...

The Powerlifter: Two-tone

Here's the next preview of the Art Book; this huge lifter.

The Powerlifter: Color

The next big guy in the Art Book is this lifter. I've included my alternate sketch pose here too. I think I abandoned that one because the forearms and hands were getting too obscured. I'm trying to show each of these characters at their best, and it usually takes me a few attempts to wrangle the artwork into something I'm happy with.

Sneak Peek (Art Book): The Powerlifter

"Nowadays he champions the little guys; the beginners who lack confidence as he once did. If anyone gives them shit, well... Who in their right mind is gonna start a confrontation with this behemoth of a man?"

The Builder: Color

Here's The Builder in all his big, sweaty, full-color glory! I've also included the very rough sketch and the page mock-up. I actually didn't draw any alternate versions for this big guy; he pretty much came out as planned!

Bigguy, part 1: Color Edition

This series was actually a set of sketches from quite a while back. There was no shading in the original, so I went and added some here. I've included the original sketch for comparison.

Bonus Animation

I found this old animation file I made a LONG time ago, back when I was studying for my degree. Previously I'd only been able to find some frames, but here is the whole thing. Apologies for the quality (again, it old).

Sneak Peek (Art Book): The Builder

"Sure, he can be tough when he needs to be, but most importantly The Builder knows how to get things done. Others know him to be firm but fair. Occasionally a hardass, but never undeservedly."

Here's the next big guy from my Art Book. Hopefully the project is starting to make some sense now; the format and presentation and whatnot.

The Rugby Player: Two-tone

Here is the finished linework and shading for The Rugby Player. I want to try and inject as much action and dynamism into each character for the Art Book as possible!

The Rugby Player: Color

Guys, this is how the final artwork will look for the book, and I've included a rough mock-up of how it will appear on the double page spread (not finalized yet). 

I've also included my roughs, and a couple of alternate heads/faces I drew for this big guy too, so you can see how I arrived at the final image. Let me know if these kinds of things are of interest to you guys! I'm more than happy to provide the sketches and alternates and other ideas with each upcoming character.

Sneak Peek (Art Book): The Rugby Player

"An unstoppable force AND an immovable object, the Rugby Player is a massive tank of a man. If he wants to block you, you’re going nowhere, and if he wants to charge, you’d better hope to hell those thick piston-legs of his aren’t headed in your direction."

Guys, this is the first early look at how my Art Book is gonna look, roughly. The end product will have full-colour artwork on one page, and the write-up on the opposite page, and will cover about 45 jobs / ...

Update, May 2021

Hello wonderful people,

Now that The Baron is finished, I'm getting asks about the next story. So here's what's coming up on the schedule:

The next story will be called Dadbod, and is a kind of coming-of-age gainer story, and won't be as... doomed as The Baron was, haha. I'm in the process of drafting the whole thing right now. The format of the story is going to be similar to Jackson (but regular and scheduled), because that will give me more time to work on...
