I've posted a bit about the first of these two pages from Fenton Hud #4 over on the website but when I showed my better half the 'advert' page they went 'Having a tough time with the Google Home?' And yes. Yes I am. #makingcomics #smallpress #indiecomics

Just finished colouring all the character panels #19 of LatB with just (just!) backgrounds and sound effects to do while still working on Fenton Hud. Here's a recent panel and 'advert' from issue #4 of that book! What do you think? #makingcomics #smallpress #indiecomics

Gibson @lloydandthebear.bsky.social · Sep 27

Before I get working on colouring issues #19 and #20 of LatB I figured it's time to take a moment to look at some of the characters and locations again and re-check their colour schemes. I talk more about this over at www.bearritopublishing.com so please do check it out! Bear hugs! #makingcomics

Successful trip to @forbidden-stories.bsky.social #Camden yesterday where I picked up the last Rom figure on the shelves! #marvellegends #hasbro

I really wanted to have more time with Fenton and his sister Tabitha just chatting but I needed to get on to hypnotised horses dang it! (But seriously, I would love to just draw a comic with two characters just talking for the entire book!) #makingcomics #smallpress #indiecomics #facts

Following on from showing all the 'shaded' pages for issue #19 of Lloyd and the Bear here's issue #20. I know there's better ways of doing this but this is my system! 😊 #makingcomics #smallpress #allagescomics

Gibson @lloydandthebear.bsky.social · Jun 28

Just finished the light/dark sections of each page for issue #19 of Lloyd and the Bear! Sayyyyy, does this count as a spoiler? 😜#makingcomics #smallpress #allagescomics #scifi

Gibson @lloydandthebear.bsky.social · Jun 12

I was all proud as I'd thought I'd finished all the line work for issue #20 yesterday only to wake up this morning realising I hadn't added debris in to a number of panels! Whoops! But with this panel, issue #20 IS DRAWN! #makingcomics #allagescomics #scifi #smallpress

Finally got around to seeing #TransformersOne as it's on ‪@paramountplus.com‬ and yeah... 'Prime'? No. No you're not.

Hey @theroyalparks.bsky.social Do you know why this tree/bush behind the Colicci Memorial kiosk at St James's Park was covered in spider webs? Never seen that before! #StJamesPark #spiders

Going through issue #19 of LatB and maaaan, I didn't like this panel first time around and I thought I'd made my piece with it but clearly didn't as I redid it!. I'm kinda cheating as the characters are closer than they should be but it makes for less empty space so a good trade off. #makingcomics

Comparison panels from Lloyd and the Bear issue 19 where it's been updated. Three alien/teddy bears are arguing with Bear in the centre trying to defend himself and saying to his brother 'I mean... I don't even know who this is!' and then turning to the other bear and asking 'Wait, who are you?'

Gibson @lloydandthebear.bsky.social · May 10

Old and updated panel from issue #19 of Lloyd and the Bear. Everyone: 'Wait, but the old panel is an establishing shot and shows the background - that's good, right?' Me: 'Yeah, but the new panel has a bit of a circle in the top right! Um...' #makingcomics #allagescomics #smallpress

Thundercats/Powerpuff Girls #FCBD was really fun but I'm wondering if @paulinaganucheau.bsky.social is aware that this line from Mojo Jojo can be taken in a real different way here in the UK... 😶😶😶

New Lego releases plus May 4th deals meant a quick trip to the Lego store in Battersea even though it's hotter than Tatooine today! #batterseapowerstation #lego #starwars #maythe4th #maythe4thbewithyou

With the one year skip in Andor season 2 episode 4 I expect Mon Mothma to still be rocking a hangover from the previous episode. #starwars #andor #starwarsandor

#Andor Season 2 episode 3 deserves all the awards, right? #StarWars

Finally committed to unboxing my Funkopop Chewie that my better half gave me at Christmas - AND IT'S A BOBBLEHEAD!!! (I keep feeding him my finger) #funkopop #starwars #chewbacca

Michael Golden is going to be at #londonfilmandcomiccon?!? *checks backissues* Okay, I'm going in the hope of getting me these books signed! #avengers #gijoe #starwars

Was watching #StarWars #RiseofSkywalker today and might have rejigged the subtitles...

Ugh. Checking out the current Superman sale on Amazon's Comixology only to find random non-Superman books showing in the list that are 'sponsored'. What the actual? I feel grubby.

Gibson @lloydandthebear.bsky.social · Apr 18

It feels like I'm never going to finish issue #20 of Lloyd and the Bear but with another panel completed I'm getting there (slowly)! #makingcomics #smallpress #allagescomics

Gibson @lloydandthebear.bsky.social · Apr 10

Really happy with my smashed up city in the distance although I really wish I'd been able to show more of it on the second panel! #makingcomics #smallpress #scifi #allagescomics

Two of our heroes, Bear and Griff, are seen falling out of a space ship that is flying away from a broken city in the background. Their captor, Grizzle, is not happy.

I've been updating our Redbubble store with a bunch of new designs and then went and bought myself a 'Smith was right' tee! Whoops! Check it out at www.redbubble.com/people/Lloyd... #smallpress #movies #comics #cartoons #tees #tshirts

Giving this Shoal Commander a little bit more room by ditching the extra panel (that was going to be a confusing end of page exterior shot) and now he gets to shout more stupid! Dumb Shoal... #makingcomics #scifi #allagescomics #smallpress

Comparison of two panels where I've given the main character a bit more space to vent by an additional second panel that was on the original plan.
