Killeroo come-a-gutsa!
Posted by Darren Close | Filed under Comics
I received this page from Dave Cunning yesterday, this is the page immediately following that splash page of Killeroo on his bike I posted late last year. These are the original pencils, Can you say ‘TIGHT’?
Very happy with how these came out, Dave has a very methodical way of breaking down the panels and constructing the best angle possible for each, it’s not just the first and most obvious visual that comes into his head. And best of all, he takes constructive feedback well, which is something that can be a bit tricky with other artists.
Nice job Dave! Looking forward to inking this baby.
Am I the only one reminded of Colin Wilson’s work with that top panel composition btw?
(which is high praise I might add)
come-a-gutsa
Verb. (Australian colloquialism) To be thrown off a moving object at high speed, arms and legs flailing, landing on a hard surface and sustaining multiple wounds and broken bones.
Killeroo is the creation of Darren Close, all around comic geek, freelance designer and poker tragic. His parents are so proud.

Dude, these are seriously so tight, i thought they were inks (esp. with the sfx already in there)
Id suggest skipping the inks altogether.
