Dinki comic 3 cover.

This is the cover for Dinki comic 3, this and all the other issues up to issue 12 will be released throughout the year and available as a download to all backers of the kickstarter. Eventually I am hoping to take all these other issues to print too. Printed copies of Issue 1 & 2 will be made available to buy on this site, once the kickstarter backers have received their copies.

Backers of my successful kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/puttycad/dinki for Dinki comics will soon be getting their hands on the first two issues. While waiting for the fundraiser to wind up I'm preparing the artwork for the comics to send to the printer.
Here's the updated cover for Issue #1...

Following the kickstarter success there will be more comics, Dinki toys, video games, apps and possibly an animated cartoon!

No time to lose!

All backers at all levels will receive digital copies of all comics released in 2013 and get their name or their company name inside issue #1.

Kickstarter 100% funded! 4 days left

On the 1st January I decided to start doodling a picture story by adding a single panel every day on twitter. It's now almost May and I've got around 120 panels drawn and am putting them together in little comics. I took the idea to kickstarter and have raised money to get the first couple of comics printed (4 days left if anybody wants to check it out before it ends). http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/puttycad/dinki

I was considering getting the comics printed anyway to take to comic fairs etc. but using crowd funding takes out some of the financial risk involved.

The fact that I'm only adding one panel a day means I never get bored with the project and don't give myself any excuses not to do it. I have no idea what each day will bring and there are no rules so I can introduce new characters and other elements whenever I feel like it, I didn't want the cartoons to have too much filler panels and concentrate on the action. It's a bit like Tom and Jerry but with dinosaurs and scary beasties (and monkeys, don't forget the monkeys!).

When the 12 planned comics are finished (1 per month of 2013) I'll probably concentrate on individual Dinki story books and other spin off projects, animation, games, toys.

I don't know if this will inspire anyone to try their own comic kickstarters or daily doodle stories, but it's a lot of fun if you do!

App Icons for your mobile games and apps.

I'm currently working on some App icons and have decided to run a special promotion to other game devs big or small.

For just £40 GBP I will do a cartoon app icon based on your game or app. If you would like to take me up on the offer please email information about the app including images if possible to info@puttycad.co.uk

To keep costs down and make the process as simple and quick as possible please pay using this site via paypal. Priority will be given on a first ordered first served basis.

Step 1 - I will take the information you provide and sketch up a few ideas for you to look at. You can then choose the one you like best and/or request any changes.

Step 2 - The chosen sketch will be worked up based on your requests to give a clearer idea of the final image and sent to you for approval.

Step 3 - A full colour image will be created at 512x512 pixels, this will then be output as icons at all the required sizes for Android and iOS applications. This will be zipped up and emailed to you.

If you have any queries please contact me on the email address above.

Many thanks

Ric

RIC A DOODLE DOO

I’m Doo Doo Doodling something funny for money for Red Nose Day 2013  to raise cash and change lives both here in the UK and in Africa.

http://my.rednoseday.com/sponsor/riclumb

To make it more fun I joined the celebrity Sarah Millican's team via Twitter, in an attempt, along with others, to raise a million pounds towards the total!

Every time my total reaches a multiple of £10 I am drawing a "doo doo" doodle cartoon and posting it to my page!   Lets DOO DOO this! #twittermillion #twittermillican

I've already raised £100 and here are a few of the Doo Doo Doodles:

Taking Back B.O.B. - game available on iTunes

Taking Back B.O.B.

This is an older game I provided graphics for. It's a simple retro game crossed between Frogger and Lunar Lander with high-res graphics. As you play the game the story unfolds. Please check it out on the iTunes App store. Taking Back B.O.B.

A number of B.O.B.'s (Bioluminescent Organic Buddies) were kidnapped by the evil Dr. Snerv. His plan is to mash them into an energy pool so that he can build his Super-Duper-Planet-Blaster. Fortunately, you found a way into the lab and got the B.O.B.s out. Now you just have to get them back home!
