Antmuzic Tribute Band
antcomics on Sept. 7, 2007
This isn't an Antcomic, but I decided to post it here anyhow, because well…it's related!
I was recently commissioned to do a caricature of Antmuzic, an Adam & the Ants cover band from the UK. I liked how it turned out. These guys are very good, by the way–they can be found at http://myspace.com/antmuzicuk. You can even watch a couple of performances by them.
So here they are, in Antcomics-style! From top left, going clockwise, we have:
Neil on Drums
Owen on drums
Alan on bass
Wayne, playing the role of the great Mr. Ant himself
Ciaron on lead guitar
In other news, I decided to follow in the foosteps of my pal Ersatz and put my comic up on the chopping block (haha) for critique. I'd love it if any of you guys would pop over there and give Antcomics a critiquin'. Thanks for reading my comics!
Critique here, in the forums:

I would love to be in a Adam and the Ants tribute band. Now THAT would be fun.

I feel a bit silly, because I haven't really checked what the real Ants looked like till just now. But aaanyway, I seem to have a soft spot for cover bands and for a while I've been into many retro things, especially early 80's music. Ah, my childhood years :)

Many thanks, ncbadd & dracco! Yeah, dracco, I dream of animating the ants one day...kind of a fANTasy at this point. :o)

Great work! I shiver with ANTicipation at more terrific Ant stuff!

I turned out great indeed... It would be really sweet if you could add music to a comic post on Drunkduck, you'd steal the show!!

Thanks, HarryQ, Madscott, Witt, Corey and ToonMan! :o) Zen: Those are markers. I use Berol prismacolor markers mostly (which give it that watercolory look), but supplement with cheaper markers, namely Staedtler and Crayola. Yeah, Crayola markers are actually pretty decent!

Your powers are impressive...

Another gorgeous one! What do you use for color? Are those markers? Watercolor? Or is straight Photoshop/Corel?

Great post!

Ersatz can be ANTagonistic, but at the same time a barrel of pun! Love the picture, of course. That's why I keep coming back. Well, the stories, too. I'd better leave now. Time to gallivANT.

Thanks Ersatz! Yeah--I thought people might go "wha?!!" at first, thinking I went crazy and forgot how to draw them or something...heehee. Those Ants, so gracious to allow guest stars. The real Ants went on holiday for a bit. They'll be back soon. :o)

Absolutely fANTastic (I've used that one so many times)! Before I read your author comment I wondered what was going on, but now I'm 100% complacANT (yes, yes, I know -- it's actually spelt 'complacENT'!) Hehehehe! Time to go a'critiquing!
