Hey all I am Anthony Joseph Bishop though more commonly known as Tony. B or if you know me from everywhere else its Grimmhelm or A. J Bishop depending on your affiliation with me in the past if we have had any, most just call me Tony. I’m currently 25 years old standing at around 5.9 ish (maybe?); I’m a dirty blond with a bit of artist scruff on my chin and generally friendly and fun loving. I’m mostly known for being the auctioneer for the Cosplay Auction at Alcon where I sell off merchant- I mean cosplayers for a dance the same night for charity and the con (my current record is selling our very own Wandercrest for £549 at the 3rd Alcon in 2008, I’m also known for my commission artwork which is known to be on the slightly more adult and kinky side of things...don’t judge me! Porn sells! *waves finger at* and with that forewarning here lies my DA showing off my work >//////////////< Remember its 18+ work for the most part: grimmhelm.deviantart.com/Ill also throw my Twitter here too which will be mostly my ramblings once a day if not more, some of it will be webcomics stuff but theres the odd manga and anime dribbling in: twitter.com/#!/grimmhelm My aspirations in life are simple, I want to make a webcomic that I will turn into my living and print my own books to sell at conventions such as EAcon to all of you if I ever have the chance but for now I’m happy to help out our leaders any way I can! As a webcomic artist I would travel up and down the country to every convention I could afford to sell my wares and enjoy myself but if it falls threw then at least I can say I did my best and I can fall to my backup plan and write for my living and go into self publishing. Ill most likely post any works in my thread in the traditional art forum which I’ll be moderating, if I get the urge ill write some stories and throw them here for your consumption ^_^ Not sure what else to put so ill cut my losses and move on from here, if you want to know anything just ask :3 |

So some of you have already been interested in commissions so ill throw out my prices and info here just for ease of reading and so I don’t have to repeat myself, also because I love you all I’m giving you all a special discount price :3 (the original was line art for £5, colour for £10 etc).
Line art and greyscale: £5
Line art and colour: £10
Line art with background: £15
additional info:
Additional character: £2 per character (I will do up to 4 characters a piece)
Mass group shot: £15 to £20 (10 to 15 characters it’s easier to work on the front row hence the price the more characters the larger the price)
Background for a group shot is negotiable.
-------------In other news----------
I’ve been having trouble sleeping all week for some reason (I blame staying up to watch top gear on Dave on Monday then watching all of Witch hunter Robin after working all night Sunday so didn’t sleep until like 2pm) for those who don’t know I work nights fri-sat-sun 9pm to 7am so it’s important I sleep through the day on those days, but as I said I’ve been having trouble sleeping hence the amount of time I’ve spent lurking about in here and other places and doing a ton of commissions and art work all week.
So here I am again having 2 hours sleep and feeling fine (give it an hour ill be the walking dead XD) listening to podcasts and doodling new comic strips which I think will work for me once I get some characters built up :3 I’m aiming to have the comic up and running by the end of may ^^

So some new news for all you lovely people today.
Notice Alcon is making a big push even to members its ‘banned’ to get them to sign up for the con there acutely having real trouble this year getting new ppl to fill the extra space (there currently on 300 people out of 800 total and an extra 100 buffer) and why you ask?
Mike. He’s pissed a ton of the previous advertisers off and annoyed ALOT of high end convention people and his staff too. So he has that going for him I’ve decided I’m done with it.
I love Alcon, I love the whole party feel and seeing the dealers room and putting sugar down the back of shadowJams shirt when he’s half asleep in the bring and but, I miss taking cups of tea and cake to the dealers and talking shop with them, but now all of those I hang out with cant go or won’t go or have been banned, that was enough to make me think twice about it then he REPLACED me from my own event.
He removed me from all involvement in the cosplay auction that I made, apparently he can do better without me so we shall see I don’t see anyone else going around and asking the cosplayers if they want to participate and what they would like to see in future. So that’s it I’m done with Alcon.
--------In other news----------
There’s been allot going on in my whole Webcomic whaleboat lately, I’ve done a ton of research, sent out e-mails and been hard at work gathering information before I start posting a comic on the internet for all to see.
I have been thinking about this for some time and I think I might do an adult based ‘kink’ comic though it would only be partly that (some light bondage and some bad bad jokes) I’ve been worried about conventions and other creators accepting me as the artist I am.
I’ll keep you posted on my choice but here’s a quick rundown on the 3 story ideas I have:
1 –all ages comic, adventure story.
It’s set in the underworld a low level demon gathering allies and power to try and become the king of the underworld and then later if he can figure out how to get past the under-moon to our world ^_^
2 –upper teen/adult, super hero based.
A new hero sets out on her own and soon finds that the hero life is far more difficult and dangerous than she first thought. This will contain some strong language and occasional bondage and costume malfunctions since I’m basing it on a world that’s closer to real life/manga sensibilities with clothing.
3 –upper teen/adult, slice of life, minor fiction.
Its basically a slice of life with some fantasy, it follows my 3 regular characters Linn, KT and Tess in there day to day life (you may know Linn is a forest elf so there’s some good fantasy and a decent story thrown in about how magic was re-introduced to the world)and their own personal little fetishes.

STORIES:
These sounds cool Tony ^^. What you might want to do, if you're worried about conventions is be upfront about your work. If you think it's 18+ then say it is but say that you'll only have shots and scenes that are for all ages on show. Then if anyone tries to buy anything, tell them that they need ID to buy it. Simple ^^.
COSPLAY AUCTION:
Oh. No. He. Did. NOT!! I can't believe him!!! Good grief, that's ridiculous!! It's actually beyond common speech, and it's really mean to boot when that was your event!! If you had decided that you didn't want to do it anymore then that's one thing but to just boot you off is ridiculous.
ALCON IN GENERAL:
Other than that one thing that I find horrid the rest is really amusing! Sorry, it's the inner bitch in me that is seriously having a good laugh. Especially as I'm one of the ones that Mike had a yelling(/typing) match with. |

Hehe yeah what i think ill do is probably take an easier route and go all ages and when i feel comfortable ill do the adult on the side, just mans i have an 18+ box on my table when i start to sell stuff COSPLAY AUCTION:

If you had decided that you didn't want to do it anymore then that's one thing but to just boot you off is ridiculous. oh yes he did. apparently i don't have the stage presence necessary to get the bidding going. i had a massive row with him over the phone needless to say im now banned. though you notice hes just marked it up on the forum as "since i haven't taken an interest in doing it this year" ALCON IN GENERAL:
Other than that one thing that I find horrid the rest is really amusing! Sorry, it's the inner bitch in me that is seriously having a good laugh. Especially as I'm one of the ones that Mike had a yelling(/typing) match with. yeah it can be fun, it let me meet all you lot so im happy for that at the very least and i did have a good time helping out, but really i never got any thanks or mention for doing anything at least here i will get a little credit, im done with them now. |

Good for you! I hate the fact that Mike gets all pissy and then goes all PC on the forum as if he's not the bad guy. *sigh* Oh well. We'll make sure to give you lovely staffers the credit you deserve at EACON. If we actually pull it off it's going to be all thanks to you guys ^^. |
