Cat Byrne's big art dump 2016

[CatB]

Hi folks!

First up I regret not spending as much time on here as I like. I am still in the process of changing careers from graphic designer to comic artist so am straddling quite a lot a the moment.

And things are happening; I've started a couple of comic collabs, and also have been starting to sign up for comic cons. I've got in to Though Bubble in Leeds later this year, which is all a bit massive for me

BUT... I have lots of new art to show! It's come a long way since my previous art thread that I feel it deserves a fresh start on a new thread. Hope no one minds.

So here we go, starting with my latest baby:

(Oh but first... I know a few people here are on tumblr. You are very welcome to share my work on there, but please reblog from my own tumblr -- not repost. I've included direct links for each piece.)

Thanks for reading! I'll try and be more on the ball with updates.

Peace!

Woah, these are amazing Cat!! Well done you, sounds like you're doing really well. I love those pencil sketches, absolutely lovely.

[CatB]

Ah, thanks so much for the kind words! Much appreciated.

[Sabacooza]

Nice stuff. I dig it. Raph, all the way.

[Mew]

Such great art this is!

[CatB]

Thanks Sabacooza! Raph is pretty awesome.

Thanks Mew, it means a lot.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

This is great work. I would think your career in comic art is looking very promising!

[CatB]

Thank you so much!

[CatB]

So I went to go see TMNT 2 again today, for the second time, to celebrate how bloody lucky we are in the UK to have it released 5 days earlier than everywhere else (makes a change from last time anyway).

And all I could think about in the plane scene was B.A Baracus. Made me laugh anyway, and inspired me to draw this.



I really love this film, I could happily watch it again a dozen times.

[Raven]

I got a good chuckle out of that last one.

[CatB]

He he, thanks. I loved that scene. His eyes!!! They've really outdone themselves this time with the expressions.

And in a totally different style, here's a piece I chanced upon on my computer last night. It was an unfinished sketch so naturally I dropped everything and worked on it a bit more. Cause you know, priorities!

Oo and almost forgot, here's a new piece of Splinter I'm working on!

Thanks for looking!

[CatB]

Hi guys and gals, here's my latest piece - Raph of course!!



And for the first time, I've made one of those timelapse videos for it:



Totally going waaaay over the top with this.

Hope you're all keeping well and thanks for looking y'all.

[CatB]

OMG I just had a look at this thread and it's so bloody out of date.

Here's some more TMNT stuff I've drawn since June.

Thanks for looking!

Also on deviantart & tumblr

I made a process video for this one too:


Then summer holidays happened so I went analog:

Got back home, and digitally coloured this one of Raph and my character Mizzle having a chill on the sofa:


On tumblr & deviantart

Which I also did a timelapse for:


And then Inktober happened!

Here's a few I took a step further and added backgrounds to (I have these for sale as postcards on my shop)




Some more inktobers (some of these originals are still available on my shop)




Here's a time-lapse video of me inking that Leo:



Then a random picture I drew while tabling at Thought Bubble in November... of Raph in a kitty onesie, with his brothers laughing at him in the background:


this piece on tumblr & deviantart

Which I did another video for because I love doing these:



And finally, with xmas market stalls coming up I transferred some of my art onto wood blocks (all by hand from the sawing to the varnishing)...



^ More info & pictures on the wood prints here. They're also on tumblr.
