Knee deep in designing the supervillains and supporting cast for the heroes of The Eight. Creating a good rogues gallery is essential as a hero is only as good as the opposition they face. Having fun with it and coming up with some cool heroic and iconic imagery. Stories such as these have been around since forever and include the ancient Greek myths. Check out the second trailer for Wrath of the Titans, it's looking awesome.

Happy Leap Year Day!! In a flurry of creative goodness, I've thumbnailed six webcomics, featuring The Eight group of superhero characters. Will get a few more in the can before tightening the pencils and adding colours and text (lettering). These are the first webcomics I've done in a age and follow on from intensive research into comics storytelling in general.

Learning from past and current superhero comic book tales from Marvel and DC Comics. I've got a clear idea of what stories I love and will use those to learn from. These webcomics will be told over eight panels and are generally done in one stories. Experimenting with the form.

Drawing pinups has been good practice for anatomy. Now I want to mold the skills learnt into telling stories. There will be a greater emphasis on facial expressions, hand gestures and of course dynamic action.

Also, delving deeper into animation and playing with the basics. Want to see my characters moving! ;)

Working on the next batch of The Eight superhero sketches. Loving how they're coming out so far. I'll upload them when complete. These have been a long time coming as I had done the roughs for them some months ago. Keep your eyes peeled, not long now! ;)

I went to see Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance last Saturday. Originating from Marvel Comics the concept is one of its darker superheroes. The first movie wasn't the best, but from the trailer the sequel looked interesting. Starring Nicholas Cage and Idris Elba.

My verdict? Six out of ten. It was quirky fun and a competent superhero film, surpassing the original. Why only six? It could have had a bit more humour to balance out the overall mood and the quirkiness at times went slightly over the top.

Apart from that I enjoyed that it had action aplenty, moved along at a brisk pace and the story held up nicely. The special effects and action set pieces were awesome! A good addition to the superhero genre of movies I think.

This is a great idea from Eaglemoss. It combines the awesome game of chess with DC Comics superhero characters. Check out the trailer below to see more!

In the name of spreading the word of GrowlersWorld around the internet, I've joined two awesome new social networks.

Tumblr is an amazing visual blog and great way to share artwork. I'll be adding some of my sketches of The Eight and linking back here.

Pinterest is also an innovative way of sharing pictures, called pins, and can be added to personal vision pinboards. I'm creating pins from my sketches and making them available for sharing around the Pinterest network.

Creativity and innovation are the hallmarks of GrowlersWorld so I'm glad to be associated with these awesome websites. Also tweaked with the overall layout and visuals of the site to give it a cleaner look.
