Here's a very recent commission to colour the art I did for a client earlier this year. This was good practice getting into the swing of colouring strips as I'll be colouring one of the stories in the upcoming IDW Dr Who Annual 2012. Can't wait!

ROBOTS OF DEATH / STORM MINE
I was delighted to be asked to illustrate two posters for these upcoming fringe plays. Robots of Death is adapted from Chris Boucher's Dr Who original story and Storm Mine based on the audio adventure script. The images needed to represent each play individually but at the same time tieing them together. It struck me the chessboard from the play would be an ideal graphic solution representing the cat and mouse game between Taren Capel and the crew of the Sandminer An ambigious robotic faced Taren looking down on the game as two Vocs stand guard.
The second illustration was more difficult and so became more of a composite of elements - the human dream tree , the Fendahl monster and the quarantined Kaldor city forming a backdrop with the Robot central to the story towering over.
For the premiere *only* - Paul Darrow !! will be starring which I hope to be at. For more details go to : http://www.kasterborous.com/2012/06/robots-of-death-at-the-greater-manchester-fringe/

COLOUR COVER STORY
Below are a few examples of covers I've coloured for Panini/Marvel titles. I've always enjoyed colouring other artists' work - you learn alot about their approach. Some artists leave plenty for the colourist to do whilst others shade and tone their drawings with black ink. With the advent of digital colouring , comic art styles have evolved to take best advantage of the new possibilities. All the art you see below was drawn in the 1970s and 80s except the last cover and hence the drawing had to be stronger to contain the simpler colour techniques back then. I think these brush up quite well overall.

POP ART JUBILEE
In the latest issue of DWM ( # 448) the Timeteam watch The Idiot's Lantern which is set at the time of the Queen's Coronation in 1952. It occured to me that this was an ideal opportunity to use a Pop Art retro style. I did a bit of this way back in the series The Cybermen so it was nice to revisit. After drawing and inking the art as usual I added some dot screens digitally ( like the old Letratone) and used very flat colours hopefully evoking memories of Roy Lichtenstein's controversial comic panels. Below are various stages of the artwork.
Have a great bank holiday everyone!
