Mechs and other role-playing game related stuff
I’ve decided to bring Dragonbat back from the dead as a place for me to let my hair down and let off steam. Starbright, my main illustration (and role-playing games) site, is great looking now and hundreds of people are visiting to look at my role-playing game illustrations and read my science fiction related jabbering, but I have to pay a lot of attention to SEO and keeping the tone right and the content consistent.
Here at Dragonbat I have decided not to worry so much about any of that. I might write 250 words as SEO websites suggest, or I might just post some art and leave it at that, I haven’t decided yet; but one thing I definitely won’t be doing is repeating the same keyword over and over again so that the Google ad robot knows what ads to serve. Then again maybe I will, it’s a hard habit to break. Anyway today’s picture is a mech design I did for Starbright, anyone else remember Battletech as fondly as I do?

Skrimshaw page1
I have decided to start a comic book. It'll be about a colony of robots that have lost contact with human space and who inhabit a planet where humans are a dim memory. What happened to the humans. That's the idea anyway.
It is available on a portfolio website to buy as well, who knows, perhaps it will be a project that I will be able to keep up with. I hope so.

Ironing Man
I just saw the trailor for Iron Man the movie last night and was moved to respond in my own artistic fashion. And of course it is available to buy as a tshirt design at redbubble, just click the button.
I have always been a big fan of Iron Man, and this may not be a great reason but, because of the cool way he holds his hand out in a "talk to the hand" gesture and his palm blaster shoots a cool beam out. I am particularly proud of this illustration because I have included a scan of a bit of fabric as the cover for the ironing board, I think it works well and looks nice, I have spared a couple of thoughts to the copyright situation but I'm fairly sure that an image like this which is sending something up is OK. I'm still in Australia after 5 months on holiday but I'm going to be back in the UK soon. It'll be good to see the old place again I guess.

The Moonbugs
I have been working a lot on my new comic strip which is as you can see a science fiction comic strip that isn't afraid of a little bit of politics. See it at http://moonbugs.blogspot.com
I am particularly proud of the drawing of President Monkeybrain. It is of course intended to be George W Bush and I think it looks like him a little bit.

A Robot Bad Guy
This is a sketch for a robot bad guy to be used in my
Tarazet story,if I ever manage to devote the time to
it to get it off the ground. In the mean time it is a rich
source of inspiration for illustrations.
This robot is influenced by the classic designs in the
UK comic 2000ad including deadlock. I love the
idea of inanimate machines being able to interact
with spirits and control magic, just like a human
caharacter in a story, and so although Hamerstien
was my favourite character in ABC Warriors,
Deadlock has also
left a lasting impression.
