Destined

I've recently created a series of 10 comic pages for Northern Ireland based charity 'Destined' which focuses on helping and empowering adults with learning disabilities. It was created in conjunction with NI-based comic company and creators of Zombies Hi!, 'Uproar Comics'.

The pages highlight people involved with Destined and use their own words and likenesses in telling their stories and how Destined has positively affected their lives.

 

I wanted to make these pages warm and inviting so used clean linework with little cross hatching, shading linework etc. and also kept to a palette of bright, pastely colours with minimal, soft, subtle shading applied. I created the pencil, ink and colour work, the lettering was done in-house at Uproar Comics.

The full series of final lettered pages can be viewed here: http://www.destined.ie/Destined.pdf

The full series of unlettered pages can be viewed over at my Behance site: http://www.behance.net/alfiegallagher

Here's one of the pages through the different stages of pencilling, inking/colouring and lettering:

Fun!

Here's a bit of fun I've worked on recently. Just wanted to have a bit of simple 'pop' fun so dusted off the Sixties variants of these characters. Have been taking in the work of Steve Rude lately so wanted to go for that super-clean inking style.

Hope to get this coloured to have as a print for attending London MCM in May.
