"Charleys War- Fanart Colouring Project Episode 16 +Charleys Blitz part Two"

Charleys War Cover by Joe Colquhoun from near the end of Battle Action Forces run in the mid to late 80's then it became something sillier Battle Storm Force. Glad it's back in it's proper state which would be the late 70's early 80's version of the title ,
 More about Charley's Blitz  after this episode which takes place on the first day of the Battle of the Somme back when Charley Bourne was just 16 years old 

It's taken me a while  but I got there in the end.. just two more episodes till the end of chapter one  "The Somme" then depending on how I feel  or if can actually find work I'll start on Chapter Two "The Saga of the Lost Platoon" which appeared in the second Titan Book , but each story arc which Pat Mills expertly wrote  will be there own individual chapter 

Story Pat Mills Art Joe Colquhoun Lettering John Aldrich and Jim Campbell. 

 

It's taken me a very long  time to do this what with having to go to hospital or care homes and  my mothers eventual death so a tonne of effort has gone into colouring these-they're a fair bit smaller crap scans I'm hoping  Rebellion will bring out a volume eventually so I can get better scans

With Scott Goodall on writing duties and Joe Colquhoun providing the visuals. 

 

I 'm very down I don't need  people singling me out for there anti A.I stance so now I  Can't goof about  for a change without been made to feel awful just I did something   with tech that  I don't truly  understand and I get it in the ear -now if I put these image into a prompt it would be done in seconds and it would be slick  and I'd feel nothing .You see on my birthday i uploaded a few images stills and front covers of famous characters from 2000ad Star Wars Battle and action re done in an a.i style but they made me feel like they can talk to me like that or rather talk around me like that (you're more  robotic than me) , that I don't like -so you won't see any of my cosmic slop on feckbook or anywhere now as they bummed my trip  and it was just an experimentation .Don't tell me how or what to do things after this dog of a year or I might just do a killbot prompt that brings about the end of everything . That would suit me just fine right now 

  Having said that I get it there's no merit in it as this really was hard work when you get to a finished state it feels like you might of done something unique like Joe's layouts, brushwork  and expressions things like that can't be mimicked or replicated ,so perhaps it's for the best if I stay clear from new improved super intelligence , dumb will do. I wanna live in age of Rojaws  though...Ooh before I forget

Mike Zecks original sketch for cover of Marvel Super Heroes  "Secret Wars"  featuring a few extra characters  

 First comic picture I coloured  after  Mum's passing  I could just hit the bottle or go to waste  but colouring stuff well sometimes it's therapeutic  in a abstract way  does help.

 My first Hip Hop Artist album (loosely based on Beastie Boys  but sounds nothing like them although  it's about that era) Suno have F'ed Up using Trumpian language  and going down the Udio route  almost  not sure this new way of doing things will be to their benefit , I did try to make a compilation a year or so back , but this time I wrote the lyrics

 Again something different -wanted to experiment with synth sounds which is perfect for some far out Ceefax  pages-done at the height of The Clacton Election sadly that feckface shitehawk crook won but for how long?

 John Mailbox's Blues Faker's  with Ernie Clapham.. I was missing doing Yardbrush albums  seeing as they are the much rockier Zinc Doodlebug  these days so thought I'd feature an ex Yardbrush to do some more bluesy numbers

 Zinc's latest double platter

A  Bad Actors track  inspired me to come up with Motorbrain (was Motorwind but Brains a better name)

Started writing lyrics for another Silver Ramon's L.P , the last one was great..

 

plus a couple of singles  prior to UFO

 

Another experiment to see if I can make Suno sound like the Cocteau's  except they enjoy a good drink

 Not really my lyrics  for most of these ,some of my earlier Fink's songs enhanced one or two  don't have the words "Echo" or "Clocks" or "Cracked" so there the new ones  which are typical AI lyrics back then ,, but there are a few semi classics among them/

 Another Double Album (still making this one ) from the Alnight Warlocks

 I didn't realize he was that tall .Leggy Mountbatten eat your heart out lol - Big Orchestra sound from Early Silver Ramon's songs only natural that I also did a similar project for the Electric Things (before they became the Thangs)

 Brian Jagger lol

 The Thangs Follow up to "Exile on Stella Street "  "Five Way Madness"

 David Bonies "Rip Offs" the covers album which features a few Thangs numbers 

 My Female Silver Ramon's spin off (was the Oh No's  but this names to obvious to ignore) I'll need to do a follow up before September the Third that's when Suno become stingy 

 

Wrote this one on the day Suno decided to change things around  second album from David Cambridge aka Lux.of Zenith comic fame.

Gool and the Kang for some funk work outs

I'll come back to my Japanese Rocker Thee Michelle Gun Etiquette  if I feel like turning Japanese 

 I Thought I uploaded this image before of Pink Fraud  but my memories playing tricks on me lately-

That's a tonne of music sort of created by me -kept me away from thinking too hard about recent events  been a very heavy time for me but I keep myself busy in some silly way it helps to distract me from the pain . I post all this stuff here to prevent myself from swamping Facebook or Youtube  although would like to come up with playlist for youtube so I can share  no fecker comes here that's for sure but it's their loss not mine

 

Star Wars Colouring Project :"Resurrection of Evil" (1981) -Part 3

Art Walt Simonson
 I think this was a cover for Rogue One adaptation  originally , but seeing as this is Walt's story this. seems apt .Continues from where last post left off..

From 1981 the original Marvel Comics run issue 51-and the start of a great run of stories featuring David, Walt and Tom my personal fave inker

 Story :David Michelinie  Art Walt Simonson, Inks  Tom Palmer  Lettering John Morelli

 

Been solidly working on this lately that and the Suno  tracks I've been creating , it helps taking my mind off recent events better to move forward than overwhelmed with grief , wish I was wise as this when I lost my Dad at seventeen . Anyway good to get these pages out at last -"To Take the Tarkin" sometime down the line -been colouring another George Lucas creation lately I'll post those once they feel complete and may create a soundtrack too for this story make it the epic it is.

 It's been a terrible these last six months , this time last week I was at my Mum's wake, now I'm in Limboland  yet I gotta keep moving it's all I know besides Mum wouldn't want me to be wasting my time .So I'll post the second part of "Resurrection of Evil "

End of Part 2 , I've coloured the remainder of pages of this story but they'll need a bit of sorting out before I post them .

Hopefully I'll get around to posting the other stories I've been colouring things have been ticking away but can't get to finishing stages due to all the drama  lately , signed up to Artstation so I'll be looking for work if anyone needs a colourist leave a comment

 'Amones my A.I attempt at doing the 'Mones -seeing as it's fifty years since another very hot summer .  sounds nothing like Joey  but I'll work on it Too hot to post-it's been my worst month of my life in this century June . I'll be glad to see the back of it..

 The Finks enter the 1970's with "Loner VS Iron Fist and the Runaround"

 

Thomas by The "Ooo?" a double album rock opera -only a bit way through this but already sounds huge/

 Swings and Roundabouts -The Silver Ramons  (1974)

 and an earlier radio session from 1962

 Second Pink Fraud Single "See Emily Fade"

 What if the Roses were Guns & Roses instead ? something I'm trying to figure out here, been thinking about Resurrection alot lately how Lazurus lived for thirty years after been resurrected . how he saw hell before that-wish I had to power to heal when I was in the care home but there was nothing I could do there , I kept my Mum alive through the worst of times once its someone elses responsibility  well things go  downhill  so I'm kinda in a shit place at the moment rather type this stuff here than on some social media platform   it's hard to express but I can  do through lyrics so the odd song may seem morose but in truth  most are daft attempts at humor

 Scottish Grungers Teen Angels Fanclub .

 John Drake "Five Dossiers Left"  an attempt at creating a new genre "Spy Folk"  artwork by Jesus Blasco

from a Dangerman  strip printed in Lion in the 60's thought it would nice in colour.

 

Not sure if I'll get the desire to post again depends how I feel after the funeral but it feels like a huge null right now.
