Haven't been as excited about December the 29th ever I guess lol -is there a reason for Fett to come out after Christmas -probably not very Christmassy in spirit -then again could be like the Christmas Carol on Tatooine with Boba as Scrooge here's some new footage from teasers although I imagine we'll see far more planets and moons than just Tatooine.
With Agent May too! I don't agree with the lack of bucket - but we know Tem from Jango if it's what George wanted so be it - and making a Fett the clone template was a very smart move on his part-seems closer to Georges version of how sequel trilogy should of went for example girl on swoop bike reminded me of Georges character Kira (formerly Winkie)who would of been main protagonist in his Force Awakens I reckon Dave and Jon could explore midichlorins -perhaps that's one for Ashoka show to explain -perhaps Ezra and Thrawn learnt about The Whills from been whisked away by massive space whales in the final Rebels episode - always thought Whills were the name of Yods's species throughout 80's and 90's - also thought Ben and Owen were blood brothers (in original Star Wars encyclopedia it's stated that they are related)
Meanwhile my own Boba Epic continues In FettOut Season 2 (I know people haven't the time to watch all of these -just wanted to make a cool on going Star Wars movie for no money budgetrock style lol).
Even created a space Magnum -An all star cast especially glad to persuade The Duke John Wayne to play Dengar (made good use of Porter Gage) Tommorow will either Rock or be a massive WTF ? I've got faith in shows makers always liked Robert's movies Roadracers been a fave
Boba in Boston -Hopefully the Bobster will get to the Institute before Christmas (I could cheat but wheres the story in that) There must be twin earths in Star Wars galaxy lol -Thought I'd beat Disney to the punch -set between Solo and Star Wars -Beckett didn't get killed Han used a stun shot as he's not a bad guy- but things have taken a turn for the worse here...
A few stills from Fett a Far Out story- maybe it should be called The Fetts like the Waltons -I think thats what Andors going to be about-not just Cassian but his familly -like a Space Sullivans lol
Seriously need to recruit Solo's body guard here
Boba and Lobot go way back
Tem and Pam back together -need to find a red jacket like the real Barb Wire. Both Bounty Hunters so team up makes total sense in the Johnverse.
Had to feature young Carrie here too
The First Blade Runner Star Wars Fallout 4 crossover ?
so I've got two Harrison Fords running around the Commonwealth - Nick Deckard the Replicant.kind of works if you recall the original Blade Runner with the old skool narration.and Han acting like a cock hence Han Cock
This happens alot
Bo Katan and Omega going through a transitional phase -seriously need to find the mod for her helmet just using generic Mando one at the moment theres a Din mod out there somewhere but my Din is more DIY made from other armours
Should get into New Vegas to try this out not sure its out though
I'll probably feature more stills on other blog later today
Apparently this chaps not a Bounty Hunter -I guess the markings on the helmet got re-used on Fenn Shysa (sorry Germans it's his name) and Tobbi Dala's armor in the original Marvel comics so they had access to the pre production images for reference? -Nice to see the wee documentary the other day but if it was me I'd of made it about an hour long lol- maybe all will be explained in the Book of Boba Fett
I'm hoping they'll be taking elements of the prototype armours and Joe and Ralphs designs and incorporating them into the series if not maybe the computer game they've got planned -maybe Fett did originally serve the Empire hence the White armour -perhaps he did kill an officer as stated in Dark Empire 2 - perhaps he joined up temporary to pull off a job like Beckett Val and Rio in Solo -their pathes may of crossed at some point.- be interestong to see Fett around the time of Solo -maybe we'll get the chance to see that at some point
I prefer the ponco in Ralphs paintings to the cape though more Clinty Cool to see someone make this armor none the less .
9 Episodes -My favourite number
Video also concerns Maul -Fett vs Maul would be neat but something tells me Mace Windu may return as a cyborg -perhaps he's gone mad too
But from trailer seems like Fett will be battling the Miners Guild initially perhaps they have connections to Crimson Dawn so story will snowball into a clash with Quira's mob
heres the lowdown of The crossover series which serves as a prelude to the Book of Boba Fett and The Return of Jedi
Fett's a Total bastard to Valance bound to be some payback for that - but seems like Boba's turned over a new leaf by the time he's out of the pit of Carkoon -near death experience may of changed his whole outlook on things -trouble is he's made a feckload of enemies along the way -and why does he leave Cobb Vanth alone perhaps he aided him when he was at his worst?
I'm also hoping we'll get to see Rako Hardeen im Kenobi or at least his disguise pre production paintings look awesome although like anyone else really wanted to see some footage
looks like Nar Shadda -could be 1313 level on Coruscant
This might not even be Kenobi in this painting I'm sure Vader hunted down plenty of Jedi personally - but this image is how I imagined the Duel on Mustafah to look like back in 83 (so it looks like it'll be almost like that) It looks like they are fighting on a exploding ship - if it is Kenobi well Vaders due for another trip to the bacta tank -should be a exciting journey to get to this point.- currently colouring Al Williamsons version of A New Hope -I'll post that on my other blog https://johnohvision.blogspot.com/soon - I reckon the Bobster was going around in this gear around that era - I'm sure Book of Boba won't be dissapointing -I fear 1995 era Judge Dredd ruination if it was in the hands of other directors - but judging by Clone Wars , Rebels and Mando I very much doubt that.-talking of ruination I'll post my FettOut 4 Playlist soon some familiar helmets and faces in that.
Cool Tv maybe it's more Radio -but sound always creates cooler pictures in the head and I should coco by now.
Seems like the 20's are always kinda bleak hopefully by Christmas that pattern of Doomitude will break.
Last of these show got cancelled even with all it's A-Listers ahh shucks in truth since I got new modem feckin things slower and can't upload videos covid era built in obsolescence-least these exist - putting more energy in colouring these days nice to jump into a photoshoot from time to time but filming has stopped which is a pity
Good antidote to real world this stuff but so little time and so much to do these days this project has to take a breather -but dying to play this later
"The Fate of Animals" or "Animal Destinies" by Franz Marc It's a pity Hitler tried to burn this painting Jealousy will get you nowhere [Marc was in the Cavalry also helped creating camoflage designs but he bought it in 1916 -it should of been other way around I -felt like pushing this blog off cliff to make room for comic colouring blog then thought again as it's such fun to do this from time to time proper Beatnik TV -Smashy !Nicey ! Sir Alan of Whicker , Nicolas Craig and plenty of Rave Up Soul Wax -just need add blocker beats usual visual force fed Gargage Dead!...Stone Dead
I can't even look at a page today decided to wash my blues away with booze last night stupid idea -wish I wasn't alone all the time-my birthday is next Thursday gonna be 49 so not quite 50 just yet but you think about all the things that haven't happened and it brings me down sometimes but last couple of monthes have been very productive -and I'm happy doing these pages find some kind of inner peace when I'm colouring away - Story by Gerry "Rogue Trooper" Day Art by Mike "Darkies Mob" Western- Lover Boys story is very sad as it progresses -but here's his debut very Clark Gable and Private Walker at the same time
May start new blog somewhere else especially for my colour projects barely any views here which frustrates me I'll have to figure out where -but things have gotta change ,
How I spent last Friday -colouring this Beauty from 1981-wanted to get the Norts and Southers in as they're a bit of a orange blur in the original -I'll leave it to Mr H to explain Rogue (should be the voice of the BBC but we just see a globe -just like the old days )
Rogues the reason I got into 2000ad and thats possibly because he looked liked he belonged in Battle and Gerry Finley Day wrote many Battle stories including The Sarge which I've been colouring over these last few monthes -Here's his co creator Dave Gibbons who I saw but never met at a comics convention never ending cue -talked to Bryan Talbot, Gilbert Shelton and John M Burns instead - but a total legend so I can understand long cue but was a bit mad with him as The Originals was very mmuch like my Character Jonah Jacks and the future mod thing -although his way better drawn and written -I think I did Jonah back in 98 so way before cept barely anyone saw it lol
but interviews great nice to know Americans know about Battle and Action now,and they let Dave speak -always better to let who you're interviewing talk,,,
Really hope the Rogue Trooper movies still on -may work better as a streaming series takes a while for him to hunt down The Traitor General -sad that plotline fizzeled out -should of kept Gerry writing it although did appreciate the lovely Steve Dillion art in The Hit series but Rogue for me was Gerry writing the character.hope he got the dosh from the game that came out in the 2000's
Onto One Eyed Jack By John Wagner and John Cooper originally printed in 1975 in a comic called Valiant -With this thought I'd go back to the 70's as I'm kind of stuck in the 40s and early 20th century lately -but Jack I lived through those times although I was a bairn then -since that time seen the Dirty Harry Movies , Seen Mean Streets and Taxi Driver listened to The Ramones,The Dolls Talking Heads Television and Blondie so 70's New Yorks a mythical place to me now so seemed like a fun idea to give Jack a lick of colour
Charley deffo the sharpest cat in this pic -although appreciate Keefs tidy grunge look.
Had to post something here Noise and Sounds -working on multiple stories may revert to a page a day instead but an interesting experiment -One stories set in 70's New York the other 22nd Century (just about) whilst right now I'm trying to recapture a Sicilian village back in 1943 -actually beats been stuck on a game console all day.;Heres a sprinkling of Dredd pages I've been working on lately tried to varie styles of colouring for each story -I think Brendan McCarthy in annuals when I think Dreddocolor.
I will totally redo The first image though need the right scan as the use of Typography was better than mine -couldn't finnish page due to technical diffulculties but happy so far with the Mick McMahon pages -just need to sort out Spikes arm -but nice fun project inbetween realistic war stories.-good place to let imagination take off the Dreddverse / Millsverse
Episode Foue introduces Mad Mick and Sgt Bill Tozer in Trevor Howard Rawlenson End makeup -it's the make up for trench raids not meant to be offensive to as it's what would happen it's a bit League of Gentlemen too comedy and levity is a big part of Charleys story the past seems a more surreal place WW1 would appear very surreal to a 1970's kid - not many videos about Charley but if I stay here I'll post documentaries or videos relevant to the episode I'm posting still the public are having wool pulled over there eyes to serve the people who actually start these conflicts -in truth it was a disater that spawned Hitler , Stalin . Mussolini -theres more truth about WW1 in a three page episode of CW than anything Jeremy Paxman put out around thw 100th year annerversary -with whats happening in Afghanisthan right now pehaps its time to look back and see the causes for these distasters and hold those responsible to account Bush, Rumsfeld , Chaney,Blair those creeps -the hijackers on plane weren't Afghan or Iraqi but Saudi so seems like a ruse to nick opium a trade the yanks set up cladestinwly in the 80s when the Soviets invaded -"Just Say No "-yeah right? " it saw the collapse of the USSR but also the events you see today-another tragedy-its the fishy business that causes these outcomes rubbish political and financial and damn right criminal decisions ... and still the newsreaders seem to do protect these people -wheres Brian Walden when you need him ?.
Re coloured a page from episode one too as the scan was lousy as were some of my choices of colour this is a bit better
Ole Bill Tozers a fascinating character -very Windsor Davis although I doubt he's Welsh sounds like a Cockney to me -although doubt he's spent much time in the big smoke but on some colonial battleground -Young Bill would be a neat spin off I can imagine Bill in Hong Kong meeting The Boxers or bumping into Young Winston in South Africa maybe Mad Mick was with him too like to think those two are old muckers- Bills also very proto Lemmy -I bet he read Battle -he liked 2000ad so it wouldn;t surprise me and his get up I blame Hellman for that
Going back to late 1975 in next story I'm doing real Taxi Driver.Mean Streets colours -get to be a budding Jack Cardiff with these colours -like Mad Mick it keeps me hands busy.
I better watch this and all may learn a few things although kind of happy finding my own way around -I kind of rail against the conventional way of doing this -many comics look the same to me with sfx colours-which in truth seems to be a way to cover up flaws - There was this one guy that used to colour Star Wars Justin Canadian or American who'd would slag my work off in forums and I'm learning you see -it's a constant process of learning once you stop learning you become lousy - but he'd put laser beams on AK47s pistols and everything and take forever to do two pages -so he had no right to criticise me I'd of done 10 pages in that time and learn new things -he's dead now though which is very sad but I don't l like been criticised when I'm finding my own way around and you really have to as you don't want your work to look like every other colourist-that would be death for me.So I'm gonna do my best to proove that guy wrong coz I do things differently-plus it looks like a comic to me Thats what I do rather than a series of moody colours with the odd sfx thrown in .
That's the work I did over the weekend originally published in 1980 -in Battle Picture Weekly Story Kelvin Gosnell Art Patrick Wright -with these colouring projects wanted to colour as many different styles-feel alot of Arthur Ransom in Pats art both working around then -so colours a little Button Man influenced on this story.
I guess Mike may of been created to rival Codename Warlord who was an aristocratic Secret Agent who everbody believed was a coward as he wouldn''t join up except Kingpin who's like Flints M who would send him off on missions -the thing about Sir Peter Flint had an unbelievable war travelling to all corners of the globe -it just didn't cut it with me Mike was more of a believanle SOE agent -kind like the men who inspired Fleming to write James Bond .But Warlord got the whole 70's War Comic thing going and like Battle had it's own classic characters heres a few of my own copies..
The Magic of Ian Kennedy
Always wondered about those Secret Agent Picture Libaries that were all the rage in 60's /70's I'd of done an Avengers one if I could hop back in time and influence publishers lol-
Two of the greats First Up Ian followed by Mike Dorey
More work on Charleys War today went back a did a second version of the third page as I didn't have a proper scan when I coloured it the first time around
Also coloured Slaine pic a classic by Glenn Fabry -my first Slaine coloured the piece is originally titled "He did'nt think it too many" something Ineed to remind myself at the bar
Those Blue stiffs I think I first heard about them on Wogan when David Icke went a bit random - but they're really Tories .
I hope Glenn see's this he's not well right now wanted to cheer him up a bit maybe my bad use of colour might provide a laugh
,
All is that Land of the Young stuff reminds me of this
