I’ve had two attempts at doing the cover for issue 6 and they are both epic fails!!!!! I’ve been trying hard to do a real retro style cover but neither attempt has worked. I’m realising that I’m running out of time as well as I need to get on with issue 6 itself.
Thankfully I’ve got next Monday and Tuesday off so fingers crossed I’ll get a load of work done then. Panic!
Okay, the Extras page is now up and going. It’s been cut back a lot from the entire issues that I use to do as I want to keep them for the book that I’ll be releasing soon.
What I’m going to do is keep posting different sketches and plans on the Extras page every now and again so the page will keep changing.
The sketches I’ve got on there just now haven’t been posted before so hope you like them – and check out how chubby Bear was back then!
More soon!
And lo there shall be merchandise!
In the next few weeks the shop link will be open and I’m planning to sell a collected copy of the first four issues of Lloyd and the Bear (along with some extras), t-shirts, and badges.
There’s going to be four different t-shirts on the go. Firstly (and excuse the rough photos – I do plan to have better pictures for the ‘Shop’ page!);
At the moment this t-shirt has red sleeves and trim around the neck so it’s a match to Lloyds t-shirt. I don’t know how practical they are though as the red dye is desperate to bleed in to the white (and already had a little bit when I first got the t-shirt!)
Like the first t-shirt this also has the red sleeves and trim.
This is done on a simple white t-shirt but also comes with a back print;
Then finally there is the big daddy of the collection;
This also has the logo on the back much like T-shirt 3 (but in orange) but no shot of Lloyd and Bear. This comes in a bit more expensive than the other ones to put together but I’m thinking that when it comes to selling it I’ll give the buyer the choice of colour of both t-shirt and design.
Let’s not forget the buttons as well!
Okay, badges (but I do prefer the term buttons). Four to collect although I’m also thinking here of selling the separate Lloyd and Bear badges as a double pack – we’ll see.
So yeah, hope you like all of that! On a more personal note (and by personal I’m meaning what I’ve still to do) tomorrow and this weekend I’m planning on doing the front and back cover to the book, the cover for issue #6, and both the extras for the book and the webpage (not too much then eh?). Things I need to do soon are a business card and also the Bible. The animated short film and soft toy are still on my list of things to do just not a high priority at the moment. But yeah, still busy.
Speak to you soon!
Hey there, right this is the first of two back to back updates this morning. I’ve realised that I’ve not updated here for three weeks now but I have been busy with doing artwork while also juggling personal life and work work (the full time one which I prefer not to talk about).
Last year I did two flyers which were both in black and white and since then I updated the first one to colour which you can see here;
I’ve now updated the second flyer to colour and plan on handing that out in February!
The thing is I’ve also got a third flyer done now which I plan to give out over the summer.
You might notice that the fourth panel has a black block on the right hand corner – well that’s because at this time I can’t reveal to you what’s going to happen in issue 5 so I’m having to keep that covered! I also blacked out the caption that was supposed to go there – again, spoilers! I’ll repost this flyer after March when I release issue #5!
Hope you enjoy!
Okay, so I said this would be up on Saturday but I (yet again) changed my mind and released it early.
The Extras page is currently down as I’m changing the layout of that – and to be honest haven’t quite got it planned out just as I want it!
There’s also a link for a shop! Everyone loves a little shop right? There will be t-shirts, badges and books on there soon. I’ll post a pick of the first t-shirt I’ve designed this weekend (and I do mean the weekend and not later today. No change of plan with that one).
This weekend…….flyers! I get to colour in and everything!
