Avengers Assemble

I haven't done a big piece like this in awhile. I saw Endgame and really enjoyed it. What a fantastic end to a fantastic series of films. I decided to put together my own team with some of my favourite characters in the series.

Captain Marvel Sample Pages

My friend Albert and I have been working on some sample pages for our portfolios recently.
I figured I would share them here.
Pencils and inks are by me. Colour by Albert.

We both work in the animation/film industry but it would be great to work on some stories in the comic-book world.

Collider Heroes 300th Episode

In honor of the 300th Episode of Collider Heroes. I have put together a little something to mark the occasion. I did the same for episode 100, 200, 250 and now 300. Heroes is the only show I catch every single week. Again I was delighted/lucky to do something for Episode 300. With this one I went with a little homage to the King, Jack Kirby. This one felt fresh and new. Congrats to Coy, Amy, Rocha and all involved. You guy's are killing it. The big man would be proud. #jonschnepp #colliderheroes

Best Newcomer/Breakthrough Artist/Series Ocean City

I don't really know what to write for this, so I will keep it brief. Growing up in a small place like Carlow, you never really think you can do anything outside of the norm. Comicbooks and Animation were definitely not something you were told to pursue while in school. Yet somehow, that's where I was always going to push myself to be.

All these years later and I am currently Co.Directing my first animated series for Telegael.
I have released the first two issues of my Creator Owned comic book series Ocean City under the Rogue Comics Ireland Label. (Online and in stores now)

Which brings me to the point. Never would I have thought that anyone would be interested in my art or my books. Yet here it is. Ocean City has just won Best Newcomer/Breakthrough Artist/Series in the Irish Comic News Awards. I am very proud of the book and all of the people that have helped make it what it is.

Thank you.

Until Next Time.

A local band here in Carlow, Ireland. The Exiles have released their new single Rearview Mirror.
Here is some cover art for the single. I wasn't sure on the version I wanted to make, so I went with a crisp version and a distorted digital version.

Star Wars Process

I always get asked what my process is when working on a piece. So I came up with a little tutorial/step by step process on how I create something. The styles and end result may vary but the process is always the same.

Step 1: Rough Pencils. Just rough out the thing you are trying to draw. Rough it as many times as you need, to get it to the place you are comfortable with cleaning the lines up.

Step 2: Clean Lines. Once you're happy with the roughs, go over them and clean up your line work. I colour my lines depending on what the situation calls for but you can also ink them in black.

Step 3: Flat Colours. Now is time for the fun bit. Colour inside your lines. Lay your flats down and make sure everything has a colour. You will see the coloured line effect come into play here. I use a couple of shades darker for internal lines. This helps the clothes folds or small details stand out beyond the flat colours.

Step 4: Shadow, Highlights and Visual Effects. This could be broken into a number of further steps but I usually do all of this together. Using a dark purple or navy, I switch my layer to multiply and paint in my shadows. The same goes for lights but switching it to a lighter colour and putting the layer on overlay or screen, I then add in whatever light effects I will be using, add a back ground and hey presto. Your piece is now finished. Because I love movies I like to ass a film grain effect onto things. it gives it a cool look.

I hope that answers your questions.
