2017

Wishing all you wonderful people a colourful and magical 2017. #HappyNewYear

First Four Days of Inktober 2016

Thought I'd take part in the Jake Parker initiated Inktober this month where each artist draws a piece entirely in ink every day in the month of October. I haven't been able to keep up as much as I'd have liked to amid my three ongoing comic projects  but here's what I've done so far

My Inktober started off with an original character I created. Meet Sir Hefner, protector of rabbits

Here he is, rushing off to action on his noble greyhound, Prancelot

This one is for all the captive animals out there in cages

And here's something I did, not so long ago while taking a short break from the day's work

Gerald of Rivia

Got an extra hour today. Thought I'd do a quick piece of fan art. So who else loves this game? 

Street Fashion

Thought I'd share a little behind the scenes study with y'all today. You can see many more of my rough studies and practice doodles HERE

The Game - Teaser WIP

Here is a very small sneak peek for you all. The first five inked pages of the 48 page comic I am doing with Jai and Valeria. I might share the coloured versions of a few pages later on . But for now, this is all I can show you till the book is done :)

Land ahoy!

Here's a page from the comic series I'm doing with Malcolm. Unfortunately, I won't be able to share any more pages till the book is done. Have fun, y'all!

Future past: Behind the scenes, Episode #51

This week's Sunday trip has been done traditionally with Ink and watercolour. Thought I'd share the artwork before I start lettering it digitally.

For those of you who don't know what Futurepast is, it's a comic strip I've been doing in a national daily called The New Indian Express. This is fifth comic strip series from me and my third long-running one with The Indian express. I am hoping to collect everything and publish them soon so they will be available to everyone

Stretch Goals and Beyond

As we move closer to our first stretch goal on Kickstarter, here's a sneak peek at one of the many additional pin ups I'm doing for Black Mumba. The book has plenty more from other super-talented artists

The Game is On

My next graphic novel project with Jai and Valeria commences today. Will be posting many more sneak peeks on the way

Who else loves this movie?

Finally got a breather to do a quick piece of fan art that I've been meaning to do for a while. I have been unable to find  the bluray of the director's cut though.

And here's another bonus warm up piece. Been watching Aeon Flux too!

Short break from Film Noir

Last week I gave finishing touches to the final page of Dead Rain 2.0,  my second comic with Ram V. With that, I'll be saying au revoir to film noir for a short while. A ten-day sabbatical now, and I'll be starting my next big comic - a 40 page surreal drama with Jai Undurti and Valeria Starovoit - called The Game. I will also be doing a 6 page pitch for a major gig with upcoming Canadian writer Malcolm McLeod during my spare hours. And on the animation front, something very exciting has come up. It's a bit too early to be talking about it, but let me just say that I'm super-excited! 

My visual approach to The Game is going to be entirely different from the high contrast black and white style I've used for Dead Rain. So I'm hoping that I'll be geared up for that by the 20th of this month. In the meantime I should be uploading plenty of warm up pieces in my sketchbook blog . For now, let me sign off with Inspector Dev stopping to catch a breath 

P.S: Black Mumba is a graphic anthology written by Ram V, and it features stories illustrated by me, Rosh, and Devmalya Pramanik. You can read more about it HERE  

Shattered Cop

Since I haven't shared any artwork from my projects in a while, here's a little something for y'all. One of my favourite half-spreads from Dead Rain, a comic I'm doing with Ram. Can't wait to see the graphic novel in print

RIP, Alan Rickman

A quick tribute to a man of wicked charm and magnificent screen presence. RIP, #AlanRickman
