Starfish Wars - My current arty project

After drawing on and off for a few years now I've decided to become a bit more organised and dedicate some quality time to my artwork.

I love manga artwork and that's really got me back into drawing, but I do like to draw other things too. Hopefully now I'm trying to be a bit more organised about it I'll be able to do more artwork :)

My latest project is called Starfish Wars which as inspired after watching all 6 episodes of Star Wars over a weekend with andie and my mum in law. Star Wars IV is my all time fave as I actually got to see the original back in 1977 when I was only 8 years old with my mum n dad and younger sister Julie (only 6) who must av wondered what they'd took me to see. Anyhow I loved it and it sort of put me on the road of enjoying all things spacey.

I've drawn single pieces of art before but this is my first attempt at sequential art (ooh sounds posh - really means a comic to me) where it tells a story and you can recognise characters throughout.

I did these 2 pages in an afternoon including dialogue, drafts and then final drawing and inking. It's done in a manga style and me and andie had loads of fun coming up with the characters names lol

You don't av to av seen Star Wars for it to make sense I hope, but if you av then it should.



It made me smile and I hope it makes you smile too :)

I am working on the next episode n I'll post it when its finished :)
