So... I need advice on Copic markers! I want to maybe do a few sketch colours at the upcoming conventions this year, and for that I need real physical colouring devices... commonly known as pens (never heard of 'pens' before!!) 
Anyone out there got any real advice on what version to get? What pack is a decent starter set? How do they perform? What are the pitfalls and traps to avoid, and how best to go about using them? Anything would be appreciated. I don't wanna spend a ton of money on them, but I imagine it might be worth me investing in something for the future. If there are other markers that are cbheaper but perform just as well, then great... let me know!
Oh, and just got out of the cinema after seeing 'Chronicle', which, as many haters as there may be, was great! Really enjoyed it... nothing groundbreaking, but this is the super-powered genre, its hard to be groundbreaking and make money at the same time with such fickle audiences, you have to play it safe to a degree. I'll be buying the dvd when it drops easily
Rad Badgers!

Once again...
Once again, I've left dA for so long, I;ve forgotten what its like. I do check in from time to time, but I haven't been active in ages... too busy, with work, life and all that jazz!
But, I made a small recording of a warm up from the other night, and edited it down to a managable watching time. You can take a look here...
Too many comments!
So, I tried to get up to date with my comments today and last night... what a joyous idea! Having over 800 comments to reply to seemed like a totally do-able idea at 1am, what a fool I was. I got about 60 in, and just had to admit it was gonna be a long slog, filled with seemingly insincere copy and pastes of the word 'Thank you!' towards the end.
So I 'll just go all in right now, save the world valuable 2099 seconds (haha, yeah right), and say a massive thanks to everyone who's viewed/commented/followed me of late. I do really appreciate all the support, especially right now (sleepy, post-baby slump in my work). Its good to see the communi
Bloody Hell!!
Its been a while eh, haha! Seems pretty standard from me of late, sorry about that. I have been working, pretty hard, on a few projects. An Image book called 'Ringside', written by Joe Keatinge (Shutter), with art by Nick Barber ~nicksketchbook (https://www.deviantart.com/nicksketchbook), and myself on colours. Its totally different from what I've done before, less rendering and more experimenting. Fast work, and very rewarding. Nicks lines are great, and he tells a neat little story with his panels. Its the most fun i've had in a long time to be honest.
The first issue is out now at local stores, and on comixology.
We had a preview slot in The Walking Dead #147 (I think its 147
Most miserable 2 months of my life!!

Confirmed!
Tooth ache, relentlessly took me down. Allergic to everything except Paracetamol, which is total balls in all reality and now i'm sure my liver is dead!
Had to find a dentist, had to go full private and on a long wait. Had a double root canal, which uncovered an abscess, all without anesthetic, which I'm also allergic too (awesome isn't it?!). I originally went in to have a small filling... go figure! Then, a tooth on the other side which I cracked from a skating injury (face+handrail) needed to be extracted, and now has dry socket, which is a nightmare for pain!
Oh, and I have a proper dent

Don't get a set my friend. Half the colors you won't use. Go with the duller tones first, otherwise they turn out WAY to saturated and bright. Greys are a good place to start, Warm or Cool before Neutral. Purples are Awesome for shading. If you want I will send you a color chart of my Copics and which ones I use most.
I hope this helps my friend. Good Luck.
