Pick of the week No 28

Not a lot going on this week for kre8uk. Not to say it wasn't mega busy.

My head was down all week with Red Angel Mini Series issue 4, a panel of which is on the pick this week!

This panel gives away no story but shows Victoria and 2458 on the bridge communicating with.. someone :)

so here it is...

"Yes and can we have extra toppings on that?"

Red Angel issue 1 is now available for Nook at http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Red-Angel-1/Erin-Pyne/e/2940013230699 and for Kindle at http://www.amazon.com/Red-Angel-ebook/dp/B005UE5402/ref=sr_1_5?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1318414083. Hard copy of Issues 1 and 2 and a preorder on 3 can be found on the What The Flux webstore - http://whatthefluxcomics.com/webstore.php

NB: Pick of the week artwork won't always be finished. Sometimes it will be completely reworked. The art that is posted will simply be something that's caught my eye that week from current work or even old stuff I might have pulled out for some obscure reason :)

Pick of the week No 26

Seemed to be very busy this week without actually getting much drawing done!

Red Angel issue 4 is in the works which I was hoping to show a panel from this week. However there was so much else going on that things got moved on a few days.


I got a great gig from Ashdown Engineering this week. Been doing some work with Dan on the packaging and marketing and will have something to put up soon. They produce quality equipment and have some amazing names using their stuff!.

Been doing web work and book covers as well this week most of which will become public soon!

So to the pick this week. It's actually something I meant to put up a couple of weeks ago to coincide with the Gears Of War 3 launch on xbox! In 2006 I was fortunate enough to win a competition place at the Xbox Epic Studios tour and Gears Of War1 preview event. It was great fun and I made a friend for life there as well.

The competition asked for entrants to design a new Locust creature for the horde and this is my entry.

So here it is. Gears Of War players out there may recognise some of it's characteristics from new enemies introduced in Gears 2. Completely incidental I'm sure :)

I don't think he's had his tea yet :)

Pick of the week No 25

So... this week sees the first digital release of Red Angel issue 1 of the 4 issue mini-series on Barnes and Nobels site. It can be found at http://search.barnesandnoble.com/books/e/2940013230699.

The final issue in the mini-series is in production now and soon to follow on it's tail will be the full blown production of the monthly series.

There will be a complete set reprinted as a trade paperback as well as several other digital platform outlets to get hold of the books both mini-series and monthly in 2012.

So as this weeks pick I thought I'd pop up the line work for 1 of 2 cover variants for issue 4. The second variant will be a wraparound cover just like issue 1 and all of them will make an appearance in the trade paperback planned for later this year.

"oooo those swords look sharp. careful girls!"


Oh and yes there is an new character on the cover - you'll need to get the issue to find out the details. Erin Pyne is writing a stonking story and I can't wait to get my teeth into the monthly. Nuff said!

Pick of the week No 24

Ok this week and last week has been majorly weird.

Perhaps it's Comet Elenin or the coming of the Age of Aquarius - then again it just might be people making my life weirder than it needs to be! We are a funny lot and we say and do some very odd things. Some of which seemed to pass my way over the last two weeks!

One of the few individuals who doesn't make my life weird is the ever dependable Rusty Gilligan - thanks for the help this week man! Rusty's blog is at http://www.rustygilligan.blogspot.com/.

However I digress - this is an art post not a RANT :)

Been doing some advertising and POS illustration this week waiting for Red Angel issue 4 script from the lovely Erin Pyne.

I now have it in my grubby mits and it's looking great - so on with the artwork for that next week.

In the meantime...

I will in time upload the advertising material and also some book covers I've been asked to do (shout out to Jon Hart there!). But for now here are some panels I did from some submission art I did last year - Judge Dredd!

Grrrr he's so manly !!

Pick of the week No 23

This week saw the completion of line work on Red Angel #3 - I think it included some of my best work to date to be honest - I'm extremely pleased with the way the series is developing visually. Of course it goes without saying that the story Erin is writing is pumping itself up to a corking conclusion in issue #4 of the mini series and keeping readers gripped and entertained the whole time. This will lead the story into the planned monthly series next year!

If you want to get involved in that you can be part of the production by contributing at http://www.indiegogo.com/Red-Angel-Comic-Book-Series

Something special that will be happening for issue #3, after the collectors cards on isse#2, is a VERY special guest inker has worked on a cover variant for us.

Along with the standard fare from myself...

... we have also had the honour of having Rusty Gilligan (comic veteran, talented inker and all round great guy!) inking the cover variant below.

So this weeks pick is Rustys inks on my pencils and a wonderfull cover variant!

To find out more about Rusty you can visit his blog at http://rustygilligan.blogspot.com/. You can also get to know some detail about his upcoming title Mac & Trouble there, which will be published by What The Flux Comics.


Both covers have been fantastically coloured by the very talented Andrea Celestini.

Pick of the week No 22

Great week :)

Been working with BBblackDog on their second album cover and finishing off Red Angel 3.

Thought I'd post up something different this week. So instead of a panel here is a Judge Dredd poster I did for fun!

Ooo best not upset him!
