So I’m not sure I’ve ever mentioned it here but I’m a massive fan of Beaver & Steve.

A couple of weeks ago James Turner, the genius behind the wacky duo, posted on his site letting us know he’d got a paid comic gig and as such he wasn’t sure as to the fate of B&S. “Oh Noes!” said I. Great for him but what about his legions of adoring fans!? ie me.

Never fear! A competition was set up to discover a guest artist to artify the duos hijinks for a trial period. Needless to say I entered, one does not pass up an opportunity to draw his favourite characters outside of fanart very often. Let alone win the right to be “the artist”.

I did not win. Which yes made me pout a little at first however during the process of creating my entry I tried a few new things which I really like and it got me all fired up to get back into my own comic to use them there. Also mine wasn’t the best anyway.

If you’re interested you can check out all the entries here… my personal favourite was the one by Andy Powell one of the three runner ups. Oh and this one is mine.

Ps. The next Mighty Vikings page is inked so it shouldn’t be as long a wait as the last one was.
