I'm not too god at drawing actual, existing people rather than made-up characters, but here is a quartet that will probably have no meaning whatsoever to anyone who's never watched "Stargate: SG-1"!

[Simon Lake]

Okay guys so we're not dealing with some urinate willy little punk ass soft ass Artist here. Dark Flights, you are an inspiration. Wasn't David Bowie in that Movie?

[Dark Flights Art]

Haha, thankyou for the compliment!

I think David Bowie was in Labyrinth, don't recall him in the Stargate movie.

I have yet to be published, but I think that's down to my own complete lack of ability to self-promote!

Found another one, Richard "Hamster" Hammond;

Well I think you had better get yourself a good Lawyer and an Accountant. I don't know what has happened to Leah (Admin) recently but she has been very scarce. Must be busy. Anyway she would be able to point you in the right direction regarding Marketing. I can to a certain extent although I haven't been Published as such either. I just make dribs and drabs from the Freelance sites atm. Picasso never had google did he?

Wow, lots of info there, thankyou - I think it's time to put the coffee pot on and have a sift through all that.

I remember an episode with some satelite network that is used to laser down Russia... Or is that a different series?

However, awesome drawings! Have you tried coloring the drawings in a photo-shop program? The hand-colored versions look really neat, so I wonder how great they would look when colored on a computer.

[Dark Flights Art]

I don't do digital, I'm afraid - could never get the hang of it, and I prefer the hand-coloured look. Not to say that digitally-coloured pieces are bad or wrong, they're great, but it's just my personal preference.

[Simon Lake]

Stand by for the colour version of this......

[Leah-Admin]

Hello I'm back...yes I have been busy and unwell...mainly unwell. Back to normal around next week I imagine! Dark flights are you a business forum member? The avatar looks familiar Great comic art btw

@Simon - looking foward to seing whitney in colour..

[mac the fork]

I think scanners - and photoshop - are pretty sympathetic to pencil sketches..

I know it's the opposite to the crisp clean bold outline of the traditional cartoon (originally drawn that way for the litho printed newspapers, and at small sizes). but i like it.
NIce crisp design, Simon and gorgeous hair!

[kidcardona]

Good work Dark fights. I am a big fan of the SG series and I enjoyed seeing your drawings here. nice crisp style and good color work. you should look into children's illustration work. There are so many sources you can find on the internet for finding freelance work. i think you would do well and stay busy. good luck.

[Simon Lake]

[Dark Flights Art]

Nice shading there Simon, I like it a lot, very different to the traditional styles of comic illustration.

Leah, yes I am Furrtiv on the business forums, and found this place via a photo you posted of your cat, which had this website on the computer screen in the shot.
