Description
I wanted to show you the work that\'s going into the Gears of War comic I\'m drawing at the black and white stage. These pages are two day jobs, much longer than usual. I\'m trying to keep the storytelling clear and smooth too, let the action do the talking. It\'s like barbarians with guns!Related content

Issue 2 is SO MUCH better.
AND there's an easter egg in there... if you're a gamer.

Hello mate. Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!
Lots of news in my blog re. the comic, but if you want a copy you might want to get it on order.
Take care, hope you track one down - and more, I hope you enjoy it!
Very best,
Liam.

No, thank you! I was just curious, do you do any coloring? How did you get so good at drawing?

Cheers again.
Yeah, check out the gallery - I've painted in oils, water color, acrylic, guache, and digitally - everything really. I like to have a go at lots of different techniques.
As for the drawing, well I had a good eye as a kid, but other than that it's practice, and choosing to learn and listen, be open - not pig-headed!
Take care,
Liam.

Splendid stuff. Any chance of them doing a black and white variant edition?

One of the things I love about your Black and Whites is that you can always tell what's going on. Nothing ever seems out of balance or confusing. I think thats part of why people like your B&W...Your colorist on this is awesome however...so I will be looking forward to the full color versions.

I love the grittiness of your work when you ink it. Looks very real. The rubble and destruction of the buildings on the first panel is incredible... It's pages like this that make people say they like your work more in black and white...

Seriously, I don't play computer games.... the last console I owned was an Amiga cd 32.
I have heard of Gears of War, but never seen anything about it. sorry

Have no fear, I'll still be picking up the comic (I'm assuming you'll be able to read it as a new comer & still get it?).
Still love to see you on Batman tho!!!

Who needs coffee in the morning when you can wake up and find this awesomeness on your screen.

I'll ask my wife if she agrees...

I have to agree with Anjum, you have a ballsy, gritty, to the point style that works perfectly with GOW. When you really think about it most barbarian epics like Conan or your Machavarius Point are no different than the post-apocalyptic story lines. Same grim and violent worlds, lots of forgotten ruins and lost cities, roughneck anti-heroes, gorgeous damsels in distress or femme fatales and the same overwhelming faceless hoarde of villains. The only difference lies in that one fights magic wielding wizards and the other fights aliens with more advanced technology.
