The Secret of Castle Belfrage

A digital pen & ink illustration showing two men in an ancient subterranean ruin, with two megaliths decorated with spiral patterns and a pool of water underneath.

Here’s my favourite illustration from Aegeon #10, a two page spread for the short story ‘The Secret of Castle Belfrage’ by Brendan Heard. I’m sure keen observers have spotted the Piranesi ‘homage’ in this one. I’ve recorded a time-lapse of me drawing it and added some voice-over, if you’re interested:

The Return of the Prodigal

A digital pen and ink drawing showing a monolith carved with spiral patterns, casting a shadow. Next to it is a shadow of the observer of the scene.

It’s been a long time since the last Aegeon, but now that the special, extra-thick issue 10 is out, I’ll be posting a few of my images from it. This one’s for a very poetic short story ‘The Return of the Prodigal’ by C.P.Webster.

I’m also working on the second part in the Dullahan quadrilogy, but that’s not going to be out for a while yet.
