People sure do love drawing fan-art of Pendragon!
Over the past few weeks, we’ve received a number of great pieces.
Pendragon By Chris Imber, artist/co-creator of The Last Sheriff

Pendragon by Alan Reyes, a talented webcomic creator/artist

Hello there!
Unfortunately, there’s no update today. BOOO!!! Apologies.
I will post this up though. It’s a gift for the lovely Tony Esmond, one of my fellow co-host on the awesome comic podcast, which you can listen to here:
See you Friday,
Dan
Without a guest this week but not without plenty to say, this week Vince, Dan, Tony and Arthur the cat talk about the usual small press gems you may not have heard of and get into a long and insightful discussion about creating a buzz for your work.
The discussion goes in a lot of directions and all of them are insightful we promise! We also talk about what we listen to when we work, Vince forgets how to count, Tony gives us a Barney update and Dan mentions his sequential use of Dr Peeper.
PLUS there’s the first ever Awesome Comics Pod competition with a chance to win tickets to Nottingham Comic Con 2015!!
CHECK IT OUT NOW!!
I made this comparison to show the thumbnails/final pages for issue 10
Issue 11 is on it’s way. Announcement to follow!
Dan
Currently blowing minds with his work on Planet Hulk, artist Marc Laming joins Vince, Tony and Dan to talk small press comics, his artwork process, his move to digital, how he got started in comics (it’s a real This is Your Life show) and what he’s reading when he gets away from the drawing table. We also talk about small press at big conventions, cosplayers, the comics of our youth and more.
You’ll never look at Barney the dinosaur the same way again!
Yup, that’s right. I’m offering YOU the chance to promote your webcomic here on Vanguard. How do you take part? Simples.
Just make a movie-style poster for your comic (similar to this one) and send it to me. It’s a first come, first served kinda deal. I’ll be running the first six I receive, so get cracking!

Hello!
Found some initial sketches I did of Pendragon and Nara before I started the book. Nara lost the ponytail.

Hello!
Wanted to give you some insight as to the character’s reasoning as to what he’s wearing. Pendragon has, over the years, cobbled together a suit (in secret) out of the equipment he’s managed to get his hands on. This includes some armour from the British Civil War – The breastplate and helmet. He’s crudely attached a face plate onto the helmet to provide a further degree of protection. On his shoulders, he’s scavenged some sports padding.
Even though he didn’t take his shield with him from Downing Street, he had access to several spares, as essentially they were props for his public persona. The one he’s holding is more likely the only one still knocking around and shows signs of aging and rust.
Can he still be an effective fighter with the knee injury and the homemade weapons and armour? You’ll have to wait until issue 11 kicks off! 🙂
I’d like to thank you once again for reading and if you’re not doing so already, consider chucking a quid/dollar at my Patreon account.
Thank you!
