Unbelievable (MWAD) Preview

The Premise!

I've decided to upload a few more pictures of the characters from my graphic novel, Unbelievable! The Man Who Ate Daffodils and a brief outline of the story.

The hero of the story is a young boy named Ben Ellis (see above pic), an orphan and dreamer who lives with and cares for his housebound grandfather Emrys, an ex-miner and weaver of tall tales.

Ben lives in the fictional remote Welsh village of Bryn Boncath, a close-knit community that shares deep, dark secrets; secrets that Ben is about to discover!

When a new neighbour moves in to the village, a series of mysterious and bizarre deaths occur and a shadowy figure from Emrys' past returns - Caradog 'Cracky' Crachan, an old friend thought killed in a mining accident which nearly claimed both their lives!

Suddenly Emrys' tall tales start to show some substance, especially when encounters with a frightening, supernatural monster become more frequent in the forests and mountains surrounding the village.

Referred to as the `Beast of Bryn Boncath' this terrifyingly huge, night-black, monstrous apparition has glowing red eyes, sharp teeth and claws and fiery breath! Some say it looks like an enormous hound, others a big cat, others unfortunate to cross its path say both or neither!

Ben Ellis is about to find out...................!

Unbelievable - Concept Artwork!

Here's a sneak peek at Caradog 'Cracky' Crachan, the main antagonist from my graphic novel - Unbelievable! (The Man Who Ate Daffodils) All Artwork copyright Simon Wyatt 2007.

I'm a big fan of horror and fantasy films and love a good suspense filled monster movie, this is the movie I'd make.
The story is a dark fantasy thriller based in a remote fictional location in Wales, it has all the elements of a ghost story, revenge thriller and coming of age tale with a few original twists thrown in for good measure!

Spanning different time periods and incorporating Arthurian legend, British and Celtic folklore and a little cryptozoology, its a real labour of love and its my hope that when its completed and printed it'll thrill and scare readers in equal measure and who knows, maybe it'll become a monster movie of its own one day!

I'll post more characters soon and maybe the prologue pages will find their way to to Strangely Drawn.

Until then,

Don't eat the Daffodils!

TIAOSR Comic Pages - Exclusive

Here's a snapshot of page 2 of The Intergalactic Adventures Of Slam Ridley.

I'll be posting more pages to my Comicspace gallery in few days.

Enjoy,

Simon

ITS A START...!

I'm just finishing the final pencils on page two of TIAOSR (The Intergalactic Adventures Of Slam Ridley).

I'll be posting a few samples (maybe here on the blog) and on my Comicspace gallery once the boys at Orang Utan have had a veiwing. Expect some pages in a few days, guys!

I'll also be putting some of my OGN artwork up here soon, maybe some concept art / characters, but deciding which images to pick is a problem as the story is full of surprises and I hate spoilers!


Cheers,


Simon

Hello, good evening and welcome!

Its Saturday night and I'm currently working on concept art and about to start pencilling a new comic adventure story for Orang Utan Comics (Uk) called The Intergalactic Adventures Of Slam Ridley, a four part mini-series which is just awesome! Already finished one set of pages for a fantasy short in their anthology title Eleventh Hour (out now! - if you love comics, buy it, you won't be disappointed!

The Slam Ridley artwork's coming together, I'm working with a great team at Orang Utan, (Hi Ian & Peter!) very accommodating art-wise, especially as I'm slightly redesigning some characters that have been previously designed twice!. I'm trying to add my own take on these characters, kinda hard when they exist in someone else's head - but hey, its what artists were made for!

I'm toying with the idea of using the blog to post some artwork from my original graphic novel -Unbelievable - The Man Who Ate Daffodils. This is on hiatus until Slam Ridley's done and dusted and it deserves my full attention.

I'll think about it, we'll see!................... until then,

'Make Mine Slam!'
