Manga App Illustrations

Brand: Undisclosed
Commissioning agency: Havas Lynx

I've been working on and off in 2015 for an award winning agency in Manchester who have a global reach.  They were named Consultancy of the Year at a recent industry awards, and the product I've been working on was also an award winner.  Due to non-disclosure agreements, I can't say much more about the project except that the client is a large multinational, and I got to work in a manga style on various character designs and assets for a gamification tablet app for their Japanese market.

Manga Style Illustrations

25/1/2014

Occasionally, I'm asked by publishers to produce samples for a prospective title so they can decide which illustrator to go with to produce the cover or interior artwork.  Some of the ones that got away after this process include bestselling teen horror author Darren Shan's Zom-B series which deservedly went to Warren Pleece, my stablemate at Advocate Art.  Another time, I was commissioned to produce a contemporary book cover treatment for Mattel's American Girl franchise which unfortunately wasn't a total success - trying to shoehorn my illustration style into a Deep South historical context probably stretched things.  Nevertheless, being pushed into different media and styles is part and parcel of trying to be flexible to accommodate the client's wishes and to win that all important commission.

To carry on this theme, I have experimented from time to time with a Manga style when asked to by publishers, and although I didn't win the commissions, I'm still pleased with the results so have decided to post them here and to add them to my portfolio section.  Below are character sheets and sample comic pages for licensed characters Ben 10 and Redakai.  Produced mainly using a Pentel brushpen, with colouring done in photoshop.
