...sketchbook studying/readjusting with MF DOOM - still trying to get a handle on his design while looking at some Bitter Root and Sin City. Props due to Stones Throw Records...  [Col Erase / Mechanical Pencil / Ink / TVPaint]

...sketchbook readjustment sesh - process for continuing with my spontaneous comic chapter 'The Lurking Fate That Came to Murdoc'. Having taken his sample, Dr. Octagon verbally ruminates on the possibilities awaiting Murdoc as he is interrupted by Nurse Fran, now concerned that this new nurse (Noodle) is not in accordance with station nurse protocol. In a panic, Noodle suggests they use the Mind Reader on Murdoc to retrieve memories of his immortality to distract and hopefully persuade the Dr. from the more outlandish of his ideations. Not accustomed to receiving suggestions, Dr. Octagon humors this new nurse - having paid no attention to Nurse Fran, she recedes from the Dr. as thoughts bite into the segmented organ that is her brain - chainsaws scraping for purchase)  [Col Erase / Mechanical Pencil / Ink / Cleaned Up & Colored in TVPaint]

... [sketchbook adjustment sesh] Possible Fanzine Cover - process for something maybe to cover the contents of some of my current & ongoing output. Thinking of following a MAD Magazine kinda template with fake adverts, articles, whatever... drew from some Jamie & Mort sources & kinda combined them in this tribute to the Mountain short film & the Gorillaz Artbook (which I just encountered) [Col Erase / Mechanical Pencil / Ink / Cleaned Up & Colored in TVPaint] <discovering a lot of Cracker Island for the first time too>

...sketchbook readjustment sesh - process for current page of my spontaneous comic chapter 'The Lurking Fate That Came to Murdoc'. Secreted away aboard Dr. Octagon's Space Station for Scientific Exploitation, Murdoc undergoes the Dr's rigorously meticulous methods of testing for the source of his immortality... "or must the specimen die to reincarnate?" the Dr. mutters just as his new nurse enters the laboratory scattering his thoughts... (Col Erase / Mechanical Pencil / Ink / Cleaned Up & Colored in TVPaint)

...sketchbook readjustment - process for working up the next panel of the current page of my spontaneous comic. Lost track of the Gorillaz lore & swore that Murdoc was immortal... part of the Four Horsemen? Walking Embodiment of the Black Plague or something...? The inspiration here was a Kelley Jones panel composition - digging the transition from the space station down to Murdoc rather than Dr. Octagon's head speaking (in the ruffs) / mix of Space Dandy & Ultra Heaven for the space station... also looking at Hewligan's Haircut for some Jamie straight jacket styles (Col Erase / Mechanical Pencil / Ink / Scan Cleaned in TVPaint)

...been really under the weather lately but continuing to sketchbook (on paper that is far too thin for this) with ideas for a Dr. Octagon character - basing his design this time on a mixture of some Alex Horley / Simon Bisley / Tomm Coker while trying to get him in the same world as the Gorillaz stuff I been doing - included Jamie's Frankenstein Girl as nurse & a prototype Boogieman Baby Briefcase from the lab - could that be a cloned Murdoc in there?! (based on a sculpture by HR Giger) [ Col-Erase / Mechanical Pencil / TVPaint ]

...Adjustment sketchbook sesh: studying a Dan Brereton pinup from David Mack's Kabuki (a super dope exploration of comics making techniques) while mixing in Noodle with an authentic Noh mask... riffing on the Book of Noodle lore since finally picking up a copy of the Gorillaz almanac the other day. Process (Col-Erase Pencil / Mechanical Pencil / TVPaint)

I found the paper animation for this in my closet so I thought I'd put a process video together.

This was how I designed the animation style for Spiderman Punk in Across The Spider-Verse.

Wicked style.

...Adjustment disorder: Research for character designs & wanted to draw the A$AP 'Don't Be Dumb' crew (used the 10 field Japanese Animation paper - super thin, kinda junky paper, AGAIN)... Knew about A$AP Rocky - the Tim Burton collab is tight. Drew 2-D on the low moonlighting as Mr. Mayers... however, always been more about [monikers too similar] Aesop Rock (not visible here for your visual). Looking at various album covers / flyers (whatever I could find - apologize profusely to those uncredited), Gerald De Jesus, frame x framing WHISKEYBLACK DEMARCO (Official Video) [Col Erase / Ink / TVPaint]

Absolutely love this interview, it feels like classic Gorillaz. All four of them have a lot to say, and I love the way they each describe the process of making the album and their experience in India ❤️

What a treat... <3

Pencils from October 2017 "…super sloppy sleepy scratch seshin’ while bouncing around the cramped caltrain on my way home tonite, trying to keep from falling asleep and missing my stop - the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music…" Digital color in TVPaint today - having serious computer issues but managed to finish this as much as I could…

...Adjustment disorder: Research I did for Little Simz since deciding to involve her in this freestyle story (used the 10 field Japanese Animation paper - super thin, kinda junky paper)... need to work on plotting things out & a more organized approach to comic making... Looking at her various album covers, Stephen Bissette, Alfredo Alcala, Terada, Sanford Greene, Jamie... Chuck Jones
