Moonfreight3 fan art

So once upon a time I used to be quite arty but about 10 years ago I pretty much hung up my pencils. Recently, inspired the superb artists I follow on Twitter - such as David Wynne, Stephen Downey, PJ Holden, Sarah McIntyre and Jamie Smart - who often post up sketches and works-in-progress - I've been thinking about getting back into it again.

A while a go I submitted a panel for Jamie Smart's online Chaffy comic and then the other week I was inspired by Luke Foster's wonderful sci-fi sitcom webcomic Moonfreight3 (which we reviewed way back in SPBM ep5) and whipped up a wee bit of fan art.

Here it is along with the original doodle and pencil stages. Hope you like.

Lee's Influence Map

So there was this internet meme going round called an Influence Map - basically a display of all the things that inspire(d) you as an artist. All the cool kids were doing them - here's PJ Holden's and Adam Cadwell's and Paul Thompson's and Terry Beatty's for example.

As a fan of these guys I found it interesting to see what their influences are - seeing which were evident in their work and which were surprising.

I then decided to have a crack at one myself - but it got a bit out of hand and ended up not as one but as three. Its actually a really interesting exercise and I made a few interesting discoveries about myself - for instance I'm a massive fan of artists such as Ian Gibson, Ron Smith, Massimo Belardinellli, Steve Ditko, Albert Uderzo, Herge and Jack Kirby yet I don't think I could list them as influences - at least not direct ones.

Anyhoo, for anyone who might be interested here's my Influence Map(s) above - click to embiggenify. Oh and as you can see I made my own rather than use the template because i'm an idiot who like to make work for himself! Duh!
