Rejected paintings from work

Some messy paintings from work. I've been drawing away at a couple of new comic projects recently, though: one for the next Parable 2 anthology and one for the Manga Jiman competition. More on that later.
PS; Jamie Hewlett's opening animations for the Beijing Olympics BBC coverage are amazing, and are here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blast/art/olympic_monkey_movie.shtml
