I liked her right away, she was gonna be great to draw. There was also a vampire that reminded me of Joan Jett. These included the ‘DEVOUROO’ logo, delivery rider, and a fearsome werewolf (who looked not too pleased with his delivery!). Tharg commissioned the cover early and Eoin was kind enough to share some character sketches. SKM: The new story is Portals and Black Goo by John Tomlinson and Eoin Coveney.

There’s more from Stewart’s sketchbook at the end of this Covers Uncovered

People are strange and learning there was to be a new story coming to 2000AD, set in an area populated by monstrous freaks, wasn’t in the least bit surprising, Jim Morrison was right – people are strange.Īnd just to prove that – Stewart sent along a few pieces from his sketchbook – some beautiful things that we’ll show you later, but this pair, ‘Sex Tourist’ and ‘Bucolic Alcoholic’ definitely fit under Stewart’s point of people are strange… From Stewart’s sketchbook – ‘Sex Tourist’ and ‘Bucolic Alcoholic’ – yep, people ARE strange This cover offered real licence to generate numerous freaks and weirdoes – and freaks and weirdoes are my bread and butter. What’s next? A skill no one teaches in art books – How do you keep the work coming in while not being so busy that you can’t take on more work? That’s an art skill! I relished this assignment, I’d just finished duties on Project MKUltra: The Complete Edition (out from Clover Press in Sept 2023) and found myself propelled forward into the work void with pen in hand and absolutely nothing on my desk.Īn open road is exhilarating and terrifying. If you are a budding comic artist I’ve listed some books below that I think are very helpful. Some of what I share here verges on technique but mostly it’s like a diary entry about the mental process, getting on with it, sticking with it and where ‘it’ comes from. SK MOORE: There are shedloads of art tutorials for artists online. And now, over to Stewart for this latest, rather fabulous, Covers Uncovered…

Well of ascension graphic audio
