Riders Outside the Inn

Well now, here we go again - this time merely two weeks after the Facebook-premiere of this page. It's a disease, clearly. Anyway, here's Mister George as promised and he is even mounted - rejoice everyone :)

Panel 1

Borka: Nice job, gentlemen!

Colin: You were also very convincing, Miss!

Panel 2

Innkeeper: Hey there, we mustn’t let those crooks flee!

Panel 3

Kaspar: Come on, back to the forest… Damn, it’s Corvin’s hounds!

Panel 4

George: Look, it’s that wretched Kaspar!

Panel 5

Younger thug: I’m begging you, let’s surrender!

Kaspar: No bloody way! Get into the trees, I’ll see you all at the cave!

That's all for now, Folks. Stay tuned for some summery drawings coming real soon (meaning real soon).

Corvin - the post long due

Holly Molly, I totally completely forgot to post the last Corvin page here when it got completed three weeks ago.  This Facebook page is a helluva lot successful in making me forget about the blog :/

Anyway, the upside of the matter is that we've moved into uncharted territory now as redrawing was concluded with the previous page. So this is some genuinely new material altogether (or at least it was three weeks ago...)

Panel 1

Thug with moustache: Ouuch… Holy crap!

Tall thug: That was a grave mistake, young lady!

Panel 2

Pip: Really?!

Panel 3

(Pip): What do you think of this one?

Panel 4

Kaspar: You’re jumping around in vain, I’ll cut you up to pieces anyway!

Colin: Let me show you a trick instead, old boy!

Panel 7

Colin: Touché, isn’t it?

Panel 8

Kaspar: Well, so much about this mission…

Panel 9

Kaspar: Let’s get out of here quickly!

 Let me show you a little bonus by a way of compensation. A new central character will make his introduction on the next page, to be completed relatively soon. Here's a little preview of him:

Very seasoned followers may remember this gentleman from the unauthorized Chapter 2, which kicked off this blog... a long-long time ago.

Memories of a Happy Festival

Some belated pics of the 11th Budapest International Comics Festival, held exactly four weeks ago at Dürer Kert - same place as last year, and pretty much the ideal venue.

A little warm-up the day before the festival at Roham Bár, our regular drawing spot - sadly closed down in the meantime :(

In the morning of the festival, dedicated comics people making preparations.

Opening ceremony with the international guests. Left to right: Lucie Lomová (Czech Republic), Typex (The Netherlands), Pierre Wazem (Switzerland), Ptiluc (France) and Fabio Celoni (Italy). Presentation of guests done by Antal Bayer on behalf of the Hungarian Comics Association.

The comics fair. There was a real good turnout for the festival, facilitated by the not-so-chilly weather as last year.

The artists' corner. No specific assignment for this year but fun was had by all. Yours truly was even asked for advice by a potential comics maker. Wow!

YT was also involved as interpreter (hence sat in the middle) in a discussion with Lucie Lomová and Typex about their respective theatre crime comics and graphic novel on the life of Rembrandt.

Some cosplayers were also present and sort of stole the show when Euronews interviewed presenter Róbert Vass.

Almost finally, the items purchased. All well worth their prices.

Last but not at all least, Lucie Lomová's special dedication.

We had a good old time again, hope to see you next year!

February and March Drink & Drawings

We're keeping it up, luckily.

The main topics of the February session were James Bond villains and cats, so I kicked it off with a combined drawing of

Mr. Blowfeld, the classic Bond-villain and his cat.

Next up, a less well-known villain from Die Another Day, Pierce Brosnan's last appearance as the 007. Gustav Graves, played by Toby Stephens, who more recently kicks ass as Captain Flint in the Black Sails series.

Last but not least, two cat villains. Improvised fan art attempt for the 1980s classic Hungarian animation movie Catcatcher. The leaders of the cat mob, Mr. Gatto and Mr. Teufel.

Not strictly D&D product, but started at the same venue: a native American girl.

And finally, my sole output at the rather carefree March session,: a big badass all-American machinegunner. This one served to process my experience at the dentist the day before, I believe.

Corvin: Action This Year!

Wow, it's still January but the brawl is on and swords are drawn! It does give me the brightest hopes for 2015.

Panel 1

Borka: Now-now, perhaps something happened on the way that you sirs prefer to keep secret?
Pip: Lovely young lady, I swear to Saint Patrick that we are not hiding anything from you!
Panel 2
Borka: Saint Patrick? I've never heard of him. Is he a saint of Milan?
Colin: No, he's the patron saint of our real home country. You see, our parents came to Milan from Ireland, a place far away West…
Panel 3
Kaspar (dashes in): It’s a robbery! Give us all the money, valuables and women and be quick about it!
Panel 4
Kaspar: Come on guys! ... What the heck are you doing?!
Thug: We got stuck, boss!
Panel 5
Kaspar: Come in one by one, you morons!
Panel 6
Kaspar: You got a death wish, dandy?
Colin: Defend yourself brigand!

Some New Drink & Drawings

We kicked off the new year two weeks ago with the excellent Drink & Draw Budapest crew.
Here's my two creations:

Count Dracula's got the moves

       While a shimmering pony can breathe fire

... also two pics of the company and yours truly:

Stay tuned, a new Corvin page is very nigh
