Very happy with my inks for this, which is not normally the case! I went very maximalist with the starfield to create that Jack Kirby/ George Perez feel. #Voltron

Finished! I completed colouring all the Zoids and just went for the background. There's a lot of detail in the foreground so I didn't want to overcomplicate the scenery. #Zoids

Progress has been slow on this! Colouring Kraak, Redhorn and Zrk took a lot longer than I anticipated. It's a really painstaking job, but worthwhile! #zoids

Done! I'll wait until I've brought the Zoids piece closer to completion before starting to colourise this. #secretwars

Tarantulon done, and a little of the foreground. I really don't want to rush this, but I'm also feeling a little impatient. I have to fit this project in around paid work so I can't spend too much time on it. #zoids

Finished the Walker and the lower level of Doombase. Added Constrictor sitting next to Barin Zemo there in the second roller. The end is in sight! #secretwars

Doom Roller, She-Hulk, Titania, Wolverine, Mr Fantastic and Absorbing Man finished. Hobgoblin is piloting the roller. He wasn't in the original comic series, but he was released as a figure in the accompanying toy line. #secretwars

Finished Big Boy, who is probably the most tricky and detailed thing on the page to colour. Next: Explody Tarantulon #zoids

Finished inking Thing, Ultron, Cap, Doom and Wasp in the foreground. Time to tackle that looming Doom Roller next-- not looking forward to it! #secretwars #avengers

I think we're done here. Now for inks! #secretwars #avengers

Incremental progress, mainly on the Tower O' Doom and the tri-walker with Doc Ock and two of the Wrecking Crew. My aim for this piece is a fusion of the toy line and the comic. #Secretwars #avengers

Colourisation begins! It's going to be quite painstaking!

I got really stuck on drawing that Doom Roller. Such a nightmare! But I managed to hash it out, I think. Redrew She-Hulk and Titania fighting on top of it. After overcoming a big block, will hopefully be able to progress with this now. #secretwars #avengers

It's all done! Now to find some place where I can scan this for colourisation. #zoids

I didn't like the drawings of Cap and Doom. Something felt off, and it's bothering me so much that it's slowing down progress, so I redrew them.

My approach to this piece is far more slapdash than Zoids. I'm kind of doing everything all at once which is making things messy. Redrew the tri-walker to make it make sense. Decided to have Doom-Rollers emerging from the fort. #secretwars

Inking progress: Finished the foreground, and tackled Big Boy and the Great Zrk. #zoids

Inking progress: I'm hitting the foreground first with the exploding Tarantulon and Krok poking his snout in. So far this is pleasantly cathartic-- not looking forward to inking Zoidzilla, though. #zoids

Really wasn't much left to add-- a few more invading Red Zoids in the background, some decals on Zoidzilla. Tightened up the pencils a bit. Now to ink the bastard! #zoids

Day 5: Not much more to add to this now. A small flight of Terrazoids swooping in to support Zoidzilla. Krok poking his snout in there from the side. Some background details added. #zoids

Day 4: Added Kraak, Prince of Darkness and a couple of flying minions. Would love to have been in the meeting where they named this guy- I reckon somebody just picked him up, started flying him around making 'kraak' noises and the boss was like "BOOM, THATS IT!" #zoids

Day 3: Drew Redhorn the Terrible and the Great Zrk. Fantastic names these Zoids had! Love how Tomy just rolled with the insanity. The Great Zrk! What's a Zrk? Who cares! It just sounds cool. #zoids

Day 2: Finished Zoidzilla and the Hellrunners. Drew a Tarantulon and his pal, who is being exploded by ??? ...maybe a Hydrozoid or the Great Zrk. #zoids

I can't even hide effectively from my three year old-- those velociraptors would be splitting me apart like a cheestring

300 verses Gladiator! They were set on the same planet, both films practically advertised this

Watching episode 5 of the Daemons and, if I'm feeling sassy, moving straight on to Day of the Daleks.

A Mexican-American border agent's account of his work. He describes with beautiful economy the lives of the people he comes across. It humanises those who are reduced to statistics and scapegoats. Really informative about the history of the US/Mexico border too, from the perspective of a Brit.
