Hello Bleeding Coolers... or should that be Cooling Bleeders?
This thread features pre-production art for my 13 issue flagship maxi-series [I]Gods,[/I] which I am working on for my proposed [B]Cannon Comics[/B] line, to debut in my anthology title provisionally titled...

The gallery will range from rough thumbnails and detailed sketches to fully coloured sequentials and painted promo pieces. I welcome all comments, crits and suggestions. Obviously, the sequential pages are closest to visualising the final product.
The material is [B]arcanepunk[/B] meets [B]space-fantasy[/B], and I have just begun beavering on the actual comic book art proper from my script for the entire series, which is itself completed and 'locked'. So it's my pleasure, and hopefully soon yours, that I introduce to you...

[B]THE DAY OF DOOM...[/B]
[B]Gods[/B] tells of the sudden manifestation of an immense stratoscraping mountain fortress on the outskirts of Valdor, capital nation of the high-tech medieval world of [B]Aldar. [/B]
Dubbed the '[B]Slayers[/B]', the planet's deadliest soldiers have already been largely routed from existence by Aldar's military Protectorate, but their rag-tag remains- comprised of teams and individuals of wildly varying moral codes- are now called upon to help face off the Fortress's extradimensional '[B]Battlelord'[/B] legions.
The Lordmaster of the incursion is the demi-god [B]Ryzar[/B], long banished to but dim memory by Aldar's all-but extinct violence-shunning Lightlords, but returned to the world by a fifth column of black magicians within the Protectorate.
[B]THE IRON REIGN...[/B]
The deity seeks to complete a long-delayed dark rite that will uproot the living from the physical world, forevering interring all within the steel trap of Ryzar's mind's eye.
The eternal desolation facing the soon-to-be figmentary prisoners of Ryzar's awareness is previewed in full to Eldridge Cyger- tearaway teenage son of Slayer [B]Cade Cyger-[/B] when he stumbles into the being's off-world lair at the start of the story... an all-binding netherworld where one's every movement, word and thought is as predetermined by the Lordmaster as a shadow by its owner.
[B]A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE...[/B]
The hostage provides Ryzar with an emotional lever against Aldar's most feared warrior. Over others, it wields a more rational defence: within its miles of protective granite, the being's final layer of all concealing-armor registers precisely as the background radiation of the universe... the [B]Black Pillar [/B]that is Ryzar's dimensional shell harbours nothing less than the [B]very universe itself. [/B]
[B]ON THE SIDE OF THE ANGELS?[/B]
Somehow the Slayers, Protectorate and the last of the Lightlords must overcome their differences and unite to oppose the most terrible predator ever known... [B]Creation itself.[/B]
[B]First off, some concept sequential concepts here... [/B]

Forcefield projector station within first layer of mountain fortress interior. Like this one a lot, but it's going to mean I have to step up my game with the design of the mountain fortress exterior...
