Description Since I can't really post my new work stuff yet, I thought I'd rummage through some of my older work to show. This is page 5 from the second issue of Stan Winston's Realm of the Claw. As this was based on the toyline Stan's studio was doing, they sent me out a big box of all the toys for reference, before I started working on the book... and man were those toys packed with detail! I needed to do fairly tight layouts for approval before starting on the pages, and of course I had to get the likenesses right too. I was never asked to redraw anything though, so I guess did okay.

Layouts were done at quarter page size in pencil and marker, then blown up on a photocopier, roughly traced in pencil, then inked, and added washes with warm and cool grey watercolour pencils, and ink wash.

All art by me.

Thanks. The toys the series was based on were ultra detailed, so I kind of had to give it a fair amount of detail.

this awesome, I loved the Realm of the Claw stuff. I just wish that all the original lines done by stan winston had not been cancelled.

Thanks man.

I wish they didn't cancel them too, but at least we eventually got to finish our Realm of the Claw story as a TPB/Graphic Novel.

I wonder if he's got any of the toy lines back up and running? His website doesn't look like it's been updated in a while.

I checked and all that they sell right now is stuff from their movie lines. Their original lines are on hold till whenever. Makes me sad.
