A Revenger Poster pin up that also grew out of a doodle. A2. © Warwick Fraser-Coombe 2015.

Another mushroom cloud painting that I did whilst playing with some new brushes I'd made on Photoshop.  Final image is about A1. Maybe two days work. No inks. No pencils. No reference. But lots of fun. © Warwick Fraser-Coombe 2015.

Doodle to finished image.

 Same process as before. Pencils. Some textures thrown on.
 Doesn't start to really rock until the inks are thrown on.
 A splash of paint on Photoshop.
 And voilĂ . I hope you enjoy.
The final finished image is a nice poster sized A2. © Warwick Fraser-Coombe 2015.






I thought I'd share some of my thumbnails to final piece stuff as I often get asked about processes (which is difficult for me as they are always changing and developing). Usually (but not always) I start off with a thumbnail scribble in a notebook. In this case I worked away sketching digitally until I got a very rough working layout. I also used SketchUp to scratch build the overlapping chain background to figure out the lighting. But I'll also build an image up on top of t...his, using whatever I think it needs, from comped, photosmashed backgrounds, for realism and speed, to using 3d models, and my own textures, whatever works. In this case, I kept it simple! On most occasions, for me, the work doesn't get interesting, or pretty until the inking stage, which I do by hand, and it only gets really fun when it comes to colouring on photoshop! All in all this was probably two full days work, and the final finished image is a nice poster sized A2. © Warwick Fraser-Coombe 2015.

An awesome review of Revenger, by Jim Steel can be found in Interzone 257, so check that out!

Though I was quite amused to see Jim had inadvertently elevated me to the position of contributor to 2000ad, that's a real compliment, though not true, I've just been very lucky to win and be shortlisted once or twice for the regular monthly art competition on their forums.

Working for them would be a dream job however!


Anyway check out Interzone 257, for the review, which also includes another full page advert for Revenger and my illustration for Brainwhales are Stoners Too, by Rich Larson.
