Reversion TF

It's not finished yet, but I thought I'd share these finished pages of a reversion TF I've been commissioned to do.

Urtha and Wild-Man on the Subway-1

This imaginary tale takes place before the events of the first urtha/Wild-Man sequence.

Classic Manic: Miss Jekyll and Ms. Hyde

Not sure if this one has ever been posted anywhere else, although I could be wrong...

Urtha Scene Coming up

You guys requested more Urtha, so I'm giving it to ya! Urtha appears here with kind permission of BTX

Time Chasers Update

I'm adding the previous page as well with a slight correction. I thought it didn't really make sense  that the bulkier Wild Man wouldn't be a better choice to take on She Brute 3000, so I altered the dialogue.

Urtha/Scarlet Steele Coloured

Urtha appears courtesy of BTX, and thanks to Marston for the great scenario idea!

Urtha/Scarlet Steele TF Doodle

Gonna colourise this-- can't really think of any context for it though. Any suggestions?

Some things I'm working on right now...

This main pic is something I haven't really done before-- a lengthy reverse TF sequence! I'm also busting out more Time Chasers and my version of the latest Avengers poster-- this time featuring the 90's incarnations of all the characters.

Payback Redux

The Payback comic served as a little stinger for 'Time Chasers', but here it is again with three extra pages that give it a different outcome!

Classic Manic: Proto-She-Brute

This sequence was where I got the inspiration to create my She-Brute comic. It's one of my favourite pieces of 'Old School' work, clunky though it is.  I find close up progression TF shots really difficult to achieve for some reason. I always start them and then abandon them because I can't make it work, so when I get it (almost) right like this, I'm pleased. 

Classic Manic: Captain Universe?...BAH!

I'm Back!

With a Time Chasers page! This house move-- which I sincerely hope is my last for decades-- is really kicking my ass! Lots to sort out, including my office, which doesn't even have curtains yet. I'm still working though-- and hopefully I will have more before the end of the week too.

Moving House (Again!)

Hey, Everyone! So once again the Manic is doing the hermit crab bit and moving house. This time it's for keeps, but it does mean I will have limited internet access until the end of the week. More goodies are coming in april! More Atalanta, more Time Chasers and lots of other stuff too.

UNSTOPPABLES UNITE!

I sketched this today-- I wanted to scan it but I ran out of time. It's too awesome to wait till tomorrow for me to post so I snapped a pic of it with my phone. Full scan tomorrow! Urtha appears courtesy of BTX.

Savage-Girl!

An original character by Boggschaucer-- Erika Emanuel is a police officer with a secret. Due to exposure to an explosion of exotic material in a laboratory, Erika now finds herself undergoing an incredible transformation during times of stress! When lawbreakers prove too much for Officer Samuels to handle-- the Savage Girl takes charge! 

Fairchild TF

A short Caitlin Fairchild TF produced, I believe, around 2013.

Classic Manic: Black Cat Origin

Always was rather pleased with this one! especially my depiction of Wilson Fisk!

Being worked on today

I've been commissioned to create an alternative ending for 'Payback' and this is how it's going!

Time Chasers Page

Dinosaurs, boobs and other hi-falutin stuff!

Two Time Chasers Pages

I'm moving house again, but this time it will be more long-term! I'll try and keep regular updates coming.

Two Atalanta Pages

It's been a long time coming! I actually finished inking the first page there nearly 8 months ago! I do go off on a few tangents here and there...

I'm going to go back to some earlier pages and fix the continuity error thrown up by the last panel on the second page. Gary is clearly not carrying a machine gun in those earlier pages, but I had intended for him to be carrying one ...

Classic Manic Incredibility

Following yesterday's little Incredible SH piece, I thought I'd bring back this comic from '06/7.

Incredibility.

Time Chasers and Atalanta are very exposition heavy, so I wanted to give you guys a little TF red meat to tide you over! I posted the uncoloured version of this last year and forgot about it. I'm riffing on Terry's 'Incredible She-Hulk' series with this one. If you want a story to match to the scenario... how about Jessica gets a job as a hostess aboard a private yacht. Unbeknownst to her, the ...

More Atalanta finally on the way!

I took a break from this to work on some commissions back last September, and never managed to get back on the saddle. I'm finally getting back on track with this and other pages now in production!

Classic Manic: Tawn's First Appearence

I remember drawing this late at night waaaay back in (I think) 2002. Tawn/Brenda is one of my all time favourite characters! 

Two More Time Chasers Pages!

WARNING: Extremely NSFW on the second page! A little more explicit than what you might be used to with my work. 

She Brute 3000 origin explained

In case you were feeling a little confused by the true identity reveal of Time Chasers Agent XL5, here's a page from "She-Brute 3000" that should explain all!

Classic Manic: Calypso

Doctor Ashley Kafka is the Savage Calypso!

Time Chasers-- First Three Pages

In which some stuff you probably didn't expect happens...

Origin

I guess it's saying something about the length of time I've spent doing this to say that I have absolutely no memory of making this! And if the contributor who asked to see it hadn't done so I would have remained entirely in ignorance of it.  I'm guessing it's from somewhere between 2007-09, and it's pretty good by the standards of my work in that era.
