Acquisition, the complete first story

  I realised I should put the whole comic in one post. Here it is! All of Acquisition, part 1.

So, this means that Acquisition is finally finished, or at least the first story.

 I tried some different techniques (seeing as a whole reason for doing Acquisition was to experiment and try new things). Rather than detailed pencils and inks, I did a pencil rough of the figure and the cybernetic organs, which I scanned and inked and coloured digitally.

I had the text for the boxes already written down, and I tried a couple of different ways of arranging them, and frankly, I'm not sure what I was thinking with the first version, below. Still, the more composed version above works better to my eye.

Great Gatsby, Batman! (well, no Batman...)

The last of the pictures I did for Tammy, this time from her favourite book, The Great Gatsby.

Charlotte's Web and Smaug

Another couple of pictures I did for Tammy's classroom, this time a Charlotte's Web picture, and Smaug from The Hobbit (based roughly on an Archaeopteryx, rather than the movie version).

Harry Potter

It's nice to get a reason to draw something different from my usual. Tammy needs some displays for her class, so I'm helping out. Here's Harry Potter.
