Abandon all logic and jump overboard into the world of Cottonstar. A post-global warming pirate adventure comic that bears no script, no plot and carefully unplanned continuity errors.

Silliness at its best.

Art Status & FAQ

Commission Status:

Commissions - CLOSED!! ... for now.

50 Point doodles:

FAQ:

Are you a werewolf?

Nope, sorry to disappoint. Werewolves only exist in your mind, not in the flesh.

Are you a furry?

Again, no. I may have an affinity to draw werecreatures or anthropomorphic characters every now and then (and mostly for commissions), but that doesn't automatically make me part of the fandom. Why so curious in the first place? Looking for freebies? Take your filthy fantasies somewhere else please.

Gimme points!

Please motivate your answer, NEXT!

Why are you so mean?

I'm not, I just happen to live in the real world... or at least I try to, the internet is a fickle plane of existence. Also, according to my psychologist, I'm a bit passive-aggresive as well so do keep that in mind.

Do you do any requests? Art trades?

You might not know it, but I draw for a living so don't be too surprised (or throw an emo shit-fit) when I refuse your requests. I might consider doing art trades but only if I get some free time on my hands.

What can I do to get some art done by you?

Check this box regularly, you never know if I might have a spot open for commissions (rates to follow soon). Otherwise I can do a 50 point doodle for you (what they look like: [link] ). Note me or email me at ben[dot]g[dot]geldenhuys[at]gmail.com

G'day, gentleladies and gentlemens

The South African Lycanthrope reporting in... Just letting you in on the latest development happening here in the City Bowl, at the ass end of the world.

We're doing a limited print run of Cottonstar Chapter 1 and putting them up for sale at Free Comic Book Day at Readers Den, Stadium on Main, Claremont.  We're doing about a 100 copies and they are in FULL COLOUR BITCHES!  [link]
Along with it will be some stickers and some left over prints from rAge last year so head on down to Readers Den on the 5th.

There will also be a LORRIE LOAD of other local comic artists showcasing their pain-staking hard work. To name a few (who happen to be on DA), Mister ~MorayEel will doing his Velocity thing which is A MUST HAVE if you are a Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Steampunk enthusiast, the uber-talented ~razor-rabbit, ~Kaos2007 with his Juvies comic and many others.

So come & spend some cash or just drop by to say hi, it's going to be stupendous! REMEMBER 5th of MAY!  For more info go to [link]

For the people up in Egoli/JHB who REALLY want a copy, don't sweat because they will be available at rAge this year.  For the folks abroad, I'm doing mailing list, so keep yer eyes peeled.

, back to the grindstone now...

More developments...

I've been thinking and have talked with a few people about it and I think I should do an artbook. It's still just in the planning stages and the funding for it is still... well... non existent, but I'm sure that with some help from a few friends I'll make it happen.
The plan is to have it ready for rAge expo this year, so the deadline is set.

Expect commission slots to open up soon, keep an eye out.

In other news...

Cottonstar chapter 2 has kicked off and is going 2 pages strong (we missed a week or 2 due to some... family business)! If you missed chapter 1, head on down to [link] or join our group

and follow us on FaceTwit [link] for additional updates and smelliness. Many thanks goes to ~LyntonLevengood for the simply amazing cover for chapter 2.

Don't forget about my tumblr for some funky footnotes of beardly nonsense [link]

One last thing...

STRAAIK A MATCH BRU

...

Well, that's about it for now I think. So until next time...

RockPeaceLove Out!

~ Ben

PS. The Virtuoso Artbook is STILL up for grabs at [link]
