Having a Ton of Fun with Colour Like Carlos colouring book https://www.millsverse.com/carlos/(finally got a scanner for 50th ) Been superbusy not just with these single images but with Star Wars, The Sarge .Anderson PSI Division and Charleys War (Plus gonna try to see if Cam Kennedys Fighting Mann would look any good with my colours ) comic strips which take longer but a few of those pages will appear here over the week
heres a few vids featuring some of Ezquerra's creations and artwork
Not only have been colouring Carlos but found these great portraits by Brian Bolland of 2000ad characters I'm sure BB can do a better job of colouring these as like Carlos Brians one of the artists that got better and better with computer colour but there such great portraits of character including Johnny Alpha ,Slaine and Nemesis the Warlock who are not associated with him -Anyhow I hope you like these .
Really should be a Brian Bolland colouring book too then again like I said earlier the whole comic strip worlds a colouring book
Yep I know it's not Star Wars but Al Williamson is Star Wars as far as I'm concerned but a Blade Runner adaptation re-colour is one of many things on my mind -this cover I may come back to later and seeing as I have the Blade Runner dvd I'd try to colour the story as close to the movie as possible (it would give me a much needed lesson in subtly too) But here's a video all about the 1982 adaptation
I read the comic before seeing the movie on vhs tape many moons ago in Return of the Jedi Weekly back in the days of C.Y.R.I.L pity comics don't have soundtracks..
but onto the main event which is a few more re coloured scans from Newspaper strips Hope you like them.. Story Archie Goodwin -Art Al Williamson .
Colour scheme is mainly influenced by Ralph heres a wee playlist in honor of the great man
Watched Light & Magic series the other week which is well worth investigating if you have Disney Plus - not sure when next Star Wars colouring will drop I'll be colouring lots of things over the weeks (I've had a very productive weekend thx to finding my copy of Colour Like Carlos which will be the subject of a future post but hopefully before Andor season 1 concludes -music from last episode for the space Miami (or Brighton )planet .
Scout Walker sings Jacques Brel lol -learning how to colour with Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson's newspaper strips from 1981- also looking up to the almighty Ralph McQuarrie for inspiration -may do a few more of these as Andor is been streamed.
Hope these aint too crude it's just fun revisiting these times -had no idea what these stories were about at the time as it used to appear in the Sunday Times supplement back in 80's I'd follow the Marvel Comics timeline but I'd see these randomly on various Sundays.Then Dark Horse bought out the excellent Classic Star Wars in early 90s and it made sense -just wanted colour Al who wouldn't.. contemplating colouring Blade Runner -sometimes the whole world feels like one big colouring book lol
Better talk about Andor seeing as I'm in Lucasmode kind of like Space Minder and Lovejoy(Luthen in art dealer disguise) -would like bloke on bus with trilby type that chats to Luthen to have his very own series -I think they should attempt Ken Loach in Star Wars galaxy so Andor is a step in right direction -the dude that looks like Agent Coopers good I wonder howe it goes with his Mother and Mon Montha - I can see a messy divorce -dinner guests from Hell .I hope this dude is present Space Columbo Smurf
Still think they should do Star Adder makes sense to me
