Sexton Blake - Adventuring Detective

... time slips away ...

2013-02-20T13:16:00.001Z

After a busy autumn and winter of other work and I am finally finding the time to resolve 'Chapter One'. I never realised how hard it would be to find enough time to do this project. Considering releasing each section in three . . .

A little something while you patiently wait.

Delay

Looking unlikely to make my October deadline. I have had a few big jobs lately. Ironically Sexton has brought me a job that may well tie me up until November. If it wasn't such a great opportunity it would be more frustrating. Watch this space for updates

Steady progress

Progress continues on the web comic. So much work and a steep learning curve. Never the less I am really excited about getting Chapter 1 finished and launching this project though. October deadline maybe a bit ambitious but I am still working towards it.

Making good progress with the web comic. Lots of exciting fresh ideas. It'll be a while before we are ready to roll it out but hope you'll be watching.

Web Comic - first rough layout

2012-08-02T18:22:00.001+01:00

First Rough

So it is definitely going ahead After trying out a few variation we have decided to use a vertical scrolling format and maybe some small animated elements. It is pretty exciting to be working on this again. I won't be showing much more than glimpses now though until the first chapter is ready.

Not dead yet. Talking to a writer about reviving this blog as a bi-weekly web comic. I really liked the style of this work. It would be nice to do something with it. Watch this space . . .

One last thing

The Last Gasp!

2011-10-08T08:46:00.000+01:00

This is perhaps the last gasp of this blog. A series of tiresome and complicated reasons precluded me calling time on this project a few months ago. It was a sad decision as there were a lot of good things happening here. The publisher may find another artist to do the project. For my part perhaps Blake and I will hook up again sometime. I have a few ideas about a serialised/strip or web comic. For now I will be focusing on other illustration work rolandtheillustrator.com

Back to the boards

Following a few distractions, mostly moving country but also finishing work on Shogun 2, I am now getting back to the drawing board/tablet. I won't be able to show that much for a while but I'll try to keep you updated with the odd panel though.
