so its sunday, here i am

like i said, its sunday, and i'm on the first of what i hope will be regular posts...

before i start i want to explain a little about why i've decided to do this. not the ins and outs of what im going to talk about... why, after all this time am i going to start updating regularly.

basically, i need some routine in my life and i believe great changes start in small ways... so i'm hoping that updating this regularly will start me down the path of other regular routines in my life.

so, first...

ART UPDATE...

i dont know if i will have been able to change the position of the art in a blog, so you may have already seen it at the top if not it should be below... now i was going to put a piece from wildcats up, but i'll start with something older... bazooka jules.

something i'll come to a little later... but this is the first image i did of jules, that i actually liked, long after i finished drawing it ironically, i actually found an image and style for her i liked... and this was it...

its not perfect, and not not what she will be when she comes back, but its a lot closer to what i originally wanted. its kind of somewhere between what i was doing and what i will be doing :)




LIFE...

ok, so i'm trying to turn things in my life around, for both my own sakes and the people who have to put up with me. as a part of that i've gone back to doing some more personal work. i have a couple of business ideas i want to get off the ground, and a bunch of ideas i want to get out, a few of which, obviously, are comics :)

i've been working on jules and steve huge again, jules is in a semi finished state and i'll be doing a re worked version of the ten pager that appeared in the com.x issue zero as soon as i have the time to dedicate to it

steve huge is in the same state, its all worked out, i have some story elements to tweak but the basics are there and i have the majority of the characters, when its more complete i have a ten pager for that planned too.

batman/robin and my spiderman pitches, also getting there but not keeping up on batman or spidermans universe, i'm not sure how relevant they will be. but i will finish them and im sure if any editor likes where i'm going with them, they'll point me in a direction that will help :)

i also have a number of other comic ideas in various states of completion but none of them are worth talking about yet as the need more work, some of them are stand alone some of them may just get swallowed in to other things like jules or steve huge. some of you may have heard of them already, the main ones are, the hood, britney, a re work of tarzan and daisy... but i'll leave those there.

along side those i'm also working on a pitch for a childrens tv show and a couple of other business ideas, but i'll leave them for another time... or i'll have nothing to say in the future ;)


REVIEW

these will have to wait, only because i want to have a think about how i'm going to do these before i do, but i'm hoping to have some sort of grip on that by next week, so i'll do two of them next week to make up for it.

so thats me done for this week

it probably rambles, but hey i'm new to this and hopefully i can edit myself with time. if you've read this you're probably bored as hell by now, but hey.. i did warn you i'd waffle... till next time ;)

look, im back....

so whats the order of the day... first look in to making this blog more reader friendly, i have no idea how to do... well anything in a blog, but i will figure it out.

secondly, try to get some sort of structure to the blog, cant just be my insane ramblings, i'm thinking one weekly update which will be three posts, my thoughts, my work, my reviews... seems about right

my work well thats self explanatory, but will cover everything, not just wildcats... the development of jules and steve huge, the growth of my on going batman/robin pitch, my dabblings in to filming and kids tv writing, personal art (if i ever find the time) and my latest business venture... which i'll leave for another time till i find my feet here...

my thoughts again, that'll just be me rambling about, well whatever really, my thoughts over the week, things that are happening in the world, to me... who knows, just what i think

my reviews now this will cover everything that i come in to contact with.... food, drink, films, games, books, places... you name it, anything i might have an opinion on gets the neil googe once over... need a rating system, will probably get thumbs ups and downs i think.

but all in all no punches pulled, if i offend people i'm sorry... well, no i'm not, we're all entitled to an opinion im sharing mine, you're more than welcome to share yours and tell me to go **** myself :)

i will try to keep it as... "family" friendly as possible, but i am an adult and at times i'm sure i'll cover adult things... whatever they may be

so there you have it... i'll most likely update every sunday.... and for now i'll leave you with the black and white cover to issue 1 of wildcats... its far from perfect, but after reason problems i've had, it was the first thing i did that got me back on the path of "actually, maybe i will be able to draw again some day..."

and with that... i'll see you sunday :)

ok, so i am going to take this a little more seriously...

so i dont ever use this and i should really... and i will, but it wont just be for art. from now on it will be my out let to the world. basically i'm fed up with ranting to myself, to my friend, or just in my head so i'll let it out here.

so there will be art, of course, but i'll also do film reviews, music, games, annoyances, likes, dislikes... whatever i want to talk about, i will.

now i know some of you are saying... if anyone is even reading, who cares what you have to say neil... well you know what, if you dont care, dont read :)

so, whats coming in the next few weeks, new art and my thoughts on my process, iron man, GTA4, and whatever else springs to mind or comes up in the mean time.

i'll get started tomorrow with an art update, followed by me ranting about something or other.

until next time...
