A Present From Kronos City

With Insomnia Publications announcing on their blog the release of the Kronos City preview, we thought we'd give our followers a little treat. This is a page taken from Chapter Two, and quite a nice one, we think.

Chapter One

As promised, Chapter One of Kronos City is now available online. It will be officially announced on the Insomnia blog on monday, with added stuff from all us creators, but here's a sneak peek for the Kronos City blog followers.

It's amazing to see all the pages come together, and see our little part in the process combined with everyone else's. It actually looks like a real comic book now!

Hope you enjoy it!

Back in Business!

Okay, so we've been a bit quiet recently. What with art shows, musical holidays, and just plain old relaxing holidays, we've fully recharged and are back in business! And luckily, the break was totally worth it:

"Your holiday seems to have agreed with you. These are fantastic. There seems to be even more fluidity and vibrancy here than i your earlier pages."

Here is a taster of chapter two. I'd have loved to show you a full page, but don't want to give too much away!

Also:

With Chapter One now finished and lettered (wonderfully by Jim Campbell) its only a matter of time before its up in all its ebook glory. So keep a look out.

The Allure of Azure

Recently Alex and I had our work on display at the New Designers Show in Islington. While there we saw a girl who we simultaneously named as Azure, a character who will soon become much clearer when the Chapter One e-book preview is online. Azure is the fairy receptionist at Karma Inc.

After completing this picture, it became more apparent that this is what Azure felt like to us, maybe not so much how she looks in the novel. It's more of an alternative concept. Maybe she's having a tough time in Kronos City and hasn't the time to do her hair, whereas this is when she goes to a photo shoot. I'm going to go for that as a reason anyway.

I'd like to thank Rhiannon Ellis, for letting me take her photo. I'm sure I scared her a little, and I felt very nervous asking for the photo, but luckily for her Kronos City does exist and we haven't done any weird Photoshops to her face. Thanks again Rhiannon.

Letters Ahoy!

We'd like to announce the signing of letterer Jim Campbell to the Kronos City team. Jim had sent us some really nice, thoughtful samples in different styles that really suited the feel of the book and the art. I think he'll make a mightily fine addition to the team.

Clipping from The Red Eye

"A big welcome to letterer Jim Campbell who will be joining the Kronos City team, for starters. In the past Jim has worked with Classical Comics on their range of graphic novel adaptations of classic literature, and for Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales.

Jim's sensitivity to the art in devising his lettering styles is exquisite, and I'm incredibly pleased to have him on board."

New Website!

We're happy to announce that the new Kronos City website is up and running! It's now found at www.kronoscity.co.uk. This used to be the address for the blog, but that has its new home at www.kronoscityblog.com. I hope everyone enjoys the new site.

We're all working very hard on the novel right now and the art for Chapter One is nearly finished!

More Site Art

As the new Kronos City site draws ever closer, here's another glimpse of the art made for the site. There's always something just slightly off with these paintings of mine, but hopefully any one who knows anyone pictured above will be able to see the similarities! Enjoy!
