Autumn drawings

In a timely fashion as it is still November and boy, isn't it a warm one.

First of all, a Drink&Drawing, with another mermaid

A possibly Corvin compatible drunken monk

Kicked off Inktober in a quite simple way, I admit

But stepped it up with this fantasy character

And finished with these plainer looking fellas

 
 That's all for now, Folks!

 

Into the Woods

It seems to be all the rage at this point of the story... And trust me, the artist is determined to shorten the wait between two pages.

Panel 1
George: Let’s go after them, lads!
Panel 2
Borka: Dad!!
Panel 3
George: Come on! Let’s get them!
Panel 4
Borka: Thank you so much for what you have done, but now I need to disappear!
Panel 5
Borka: I’ll see you later!
Colin: But… Where is she going? And why did she give you a kiss??
Pip: Please, do you think I can help being attractive?
Panel 6
Innkeeper: Young sirs, don’t say a word to the old beardy about the young lady being here!

And now, some bonus features to make up for the time I spent with earning some money: two of the characters in colour.

 Borka doing some fencing aerobic, and Colin riding a mount somewhere in the future

Summery drawings - as promised

Only a little later, but hey - that's life.

 First of all, a norker, right out of Scott Chantler's Three Thieves comics series. Check the first sample page out for a reference here if you feel like: https://www.comixology.com/Three-Thieves-Vol-5-Pirates-of-the-Silver-Coast/digital-comic/229192?ref=Y29taWMvdmlldy9kZXNrdG9wL3NsaWRlckxpc3Qvc2VyaWVz

 Another bloke inspired by a stander-by in Three Thieves, and possibly also by the Black Sails pirate TV series.

Moving on to products of Drink & Draw sessions, here's a party monster probably having something to do with the Vogons from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. A Vogon that has come to its senses, if you like.

Also, a real baaaad karate instructor drawn on a table covering paper placed there for the purpose of drawing on it at a joint called Alap.

 In closing for now, a mermaid playing water polo, one of the traditional Hungarian  sports we're still reasonably good at. The idea of drawing a mermaid was put forward by a friend, so I drew this for her birthday as a present :)

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!
