As promised, I’m back with another fresh page. I feel like I’m really hitting my stride after finishing that big two page spread. I’m going to start another page now, let’s see if I can have something ready to show you by tomorrow.

I had a lot of fun with this page just going for a less detailed, fast and loose style. I’ll do the whole fight scene like this I think, to really capture the energy of the moment.
I’m going to aim to have the colours done for later today, we’ll see if I can achieve that.
It may not be obvious exactly what’s going on here in just black & white, but the colours and letting will clear that up.

It feels like things really slowed down there for a moment, sorry guys. I went into super high detail mode with two two-page spreads one after another, but I’m going to switch up the pace with the following pages now that the scene and threat is fully established. Get ready for some high octane action.
Also just a little update regarding the publishing of volume one, you’ll be pleased to know that talks are going really well! We’re onto the final stages where we’re hammering out...

At long last, I can show you what I’ve been working on! It’s only the black & white line-work, but the colours won’t take nearly as long as what this did, they’ll probably be finished early next week. Thank you all for being so patient with me 🙏🏻
I also have some really good news. A publisher is interested in Humanity Lost volume one and have said that they’d like to print It! I just have to talk through a deal with them and then later this year (maybe even a few mon...
2023-03-10 14:59:49 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone.
Just to let you know, there’s going to be a bit of a wait on this next two page spread. I’ve set myself the monumental task of depicting an aerial shot of the city we just saw being cut to pieces by an array of refracted laser beams. There’s also going to be another smaller shot of an entire forest being instantly cut down around Deicide as the beams from his assailers bounce off his energy shield. Rest assured it’s going to be my most complex two page spread that I...

The Ozyrions.
just to be clear, this is not in any way linked to Humanity Lost, it’s a commissioned piece of artwork for Ryan’s ongoing project called “The Peoples Of The Galaxy”.
here‘s the introduction to the Ozyrions:
“The Ozyrions, or Dwarves as they are also known, are a subterranean race unparalleled in their expertise of mining. Their primary method of powering their advanced civilisation is through the harnessing of their home-world’s massive ...

I’m back!
sorry about the wait, I was silly to think I could get this coloured in a single day. Which makes sense considering it’s a two page spread, so it should realistically take twice as long. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve got planned for the next few pages and the rest of issue 6, big stuff is coming.

I doubt I’ll have the colours and lettering done before the weekend arrives, so expect to see the finished piece on Monday.
have a great weekend!

As promised, here it is all coloured up.
you’ll get a much better look at those Thought-Lords on the next page
Sorry about the wait on this one, I took the weekend to rest and recuperate.
This page took quite some figuring out, a full day of planning to be precise. Sometimes you can picture the scene vividly in your mind, but it’s quite another thing actually realising it and putting it to paper. You probably can’t even tell very clearly what’s going on here in just the black and white, but it’s alright because I know what’s going on haha. The colours and the lettering will clear every...

Thanks Dan for commissioning me to do this piece. This piece is of Dan’s species called the Nortiks from his project that he’s working on.
Here’s an introduction to the Nortiks in Dan’s own words:
“ It is believed that the ancient species that first colonized the galaxy were ancestral Grey aliens. Since then, the species has split into two: the modern Greys, and the Nortiks. Greys went on to join the Empire, an interplanetary government based around a sha...

It’s not art, but here are some shots from my birthday away In Dartmoor.

Hello all!
As requested by a long time Patreon named Sebastian, I have designed and included in this page a U.E. Tank.
It’s also my Birthday on the 9th, so I’ll be going away for a few days. Not for long though, mind you. I’m going for a hiking trip with my fiancée across the Dartmoor in the South of England. I’m really looking forward to it, we’ll be roaming the open country looking at stone circles, barrows and climbing tors.
The new line-work page should be finished later today. It’s taken me such a long time, but you’ll see why later.

Here it is again with colour.
The Idea with that T.O.A.D (Terestrial. Omni-. Aquatic. Drivable.) vehicle is that it’s an all-environments vehicle that’s just an absolute workhorse that’s ubiquitous across the extent of the United Earth’s empire. It’s mass produced and can be found just about everywhere that a U.E flag flies. As the name states, it can travel by land, by water, but it can also be driven in the hard vacuum of space. It has RCS (reaction control system) thru...

The best part about this book being funded by you lovely people is that I don’t have the deadlines I would have if I was employed by a publisher. There isn’t anyone looking over my shoulder forcing me to cut corners for the sake of time, I’m able to take the time to produce the best possible book that I can and I’m so grateful to you for that.
Again though, sorry about the wait, but I’m sure you can see that I put down a whole lot of marks for this page. The colours won’t ta...
2023-01-31 15:23:32 +0000 UTC View PostSorry about the wait on this latest page, it’s a really detailed one, so it’s taking a fair bit of time to complete. I’ve been doing a lot of design work over the past two days also on a new U.E. vehicle that’ll make an appearance on this page. When it comes to vehicles I like to get it right first time, because the moment it appears in the book it becomes canon and I’ll likely use this design in future flashbacks involving the U.E. and the prequel comic that I have planned. I’m r...

Just a little heads up, I know a lot of you have been waiting patiently for a PDF of Issue 6, so I’ve created a part one of Issue six PDF that ends at a clean and natural point in the story. This of course isn’t how the story will be officially broken up when it comes to publishing, but it’s a good measure for the moment while I complete the rest of Issue 6. Once you’ve read this, if you’re eager to find out what happens next, just pop to the top of my Patreon feed and you’ll find...

To avoid confusion, this is not in any way related to the Humanity Lost universe, it is instead a part of Ryan’s ongoing project titled “The People’s Of The Universe”.
here’s an introduction to the Xylomorphs:
The Xylomorphs are a race of carnivorous plants capable of interplanetary travel. They were first discovered by a UGA science vessel mid way through the 3470’s. The vessel’s intended target was the Dyson sphere that was constructed around the Xylomorphs...

Colours coming tomorrow!
I’ve added a little trail of dust under Deicide to convey motion. I know that regolith would disperse instantly in the vacuum of space, but it serves the narrative purpose I wanted it to. Anyway, the dude is literally using telekinesis to glide over the surface, so I’m sure you can look past that minor detail. 😂

Sorry about the wait on this latest page, it’s a very detailed one. I figured I’d show off this work in progress shot of what’s been completed on the page so far. I’m going away this weekend, but I’ll be back on Monday with the rest of the page. I can’t wait to colour this thing up and give it that finishing touch.
Sorry everyone, I fell out of the habit of blurring out the first image to avoid spoilers. I’m going to try and remember to do that from here on out because I know that feature was popular with a lot of you.

I’ve been wanting to draw the inside of an Imperium Locust drop-ship for a while now, I had an absolute blast illustrating this one. The colours for this page should be done by tomorrow night.
