Necessary Monsters

The Monster crew will be hosting a table at the MCM Expo this weekend. Swing by to have a look at the fine selection of comics we have for sale. There is also plenty of other cool cartoonists, so it should be a very inspiring weekend.

The nominations close on Friday for the Eagle awards. If you would like to vote for Necessary Monsters, in either the web comic or Favourite British Black and White Comicbook, that would be great.

Here we see some of the cover images for the mini comic editions of Necessary Monsters. The top two are from the front and back of issue two and the bottom is the cover to issue three...

Here we see a few examples of the photo reference work Sean uses at times in creating the artwork for Necessary Monsters. Behind the fetching skull mask is Sean himself, posing for an image of an early Creeping Tuesday design that eventually became Charlotte Hatred on the back cover of issue one...

Here we see some of Sean’s early designs for Chicken Neck. From what I remember, my art direction on this design was basically just “make his head smaller… smaller… smaller…

With chapter four complete and Sean ready to start into drawing the fifth and final (final! Exciting!) chapter, we’re taking another short two-week break here at Necessary Monsters...

Due to technical difficulties, this weeks updates will be late. A genuine apology from all the team at the Monster cave, There should be a return to normal towards the end of the week )

The Monster crew will be attending this years Web And Mini Comics Thing. I believe Daniel will be on table 28. There will be issue 3 on sale as well. Come join us and share a drink a or two!
