Here's some pencil artwork for a one of the upcoming stories in Fred's new comic. The entire strip was penciled over the course of a few months during half hour tea breaks at my day job and I'm very happy with the results. What do you think?
Just the inks (my favorite part of the process), tone and letters to get on with. The strip as a whole- scripted a while back and forming part of a larger story arc- works well, but I won't spoil it and run through the plot, in case you decide to buy the book when it's done. The arc starts in #1 and continues over several issues.
This panel shows the city's distinctive architecture and dense sprawl quite well. This far down in the city life is tough and there's little or no sunlight, most of the population live on or below the breadline, crime and violence are rife, the state controls almost every aspect of everyone's lives, but there's also people striving to get on despite the odds, finding those small rays of light that enable them to get through another day... there's hope. That's Fred's world, he wouldn't have it any other way.
And here's the obligatory action shot from the same story...
It's was loads of fun to write and draw and I can't wait to get it finished and out there for everyone to read.
See you next time...
