A pen and ink drawing showing Ferrand P.I. being attacked by a hoverboard surfer on the backdrop of Chinatown.

After getting out of the ‘stupid block’, in this issue Ferrand gets into a wild chase through the seedy underbelly of Chinatown. If you plan to go there as well, make sure to stop by my shop.

Regret

Aegeon, Digital, Illustration / Michael

A digital pen & ink drawing showing a sleeping man connected to abstract machinery, and behind him a long spiral spaceship stretching into the distance, surrounded by nautiluses. Above the ship, there's a woman drawn in the same pose as Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, with a strand of DNA behind her. The far background is an image of a galaxy.

This is my favourite illustration from Aegeon 5, for a far-future science fiction short story called ‘Regret’. If you agree, why don’t you take a peek at the appropriate shop page.

In this installment of the ongoing Atlantica series, our intrepid hero loses his precious megatuna herd, and exacts bloody revenge on the culprits. This original version of the image is slightly different from the one printed in the book, as that one was altered to accommodate the story title. Prints can be had in the shop.

Crashland!

Aegeon, Digital, Illustration / Michael

Digital pen & ink illustration showing an astronaut in a space suit standing on a beach, facing his plant-like clone which grew on a thick stalk sprouting from the ground.

The lead story from Aegeon 5, ‘Crashland!’ tells of an astronaut crash-landing on an alien planet, and encountering some very weird plant life and environmental hazards.

Once again I’ve saved the in-progress images, allowing me to create a slide show.

Ferrand PI: The Holiday

Aegeon, Digital, Illustration / Michael

Digital pen and ink illustration showing Ferrand PI leaning against a wall on a dirty and decaying futuristic city street.

Ferrand PI is a dystopian, near future series written by Brendan Heard. In the latest installment, while pursuing a suspect, Ferrand suddenly finds himself in the wrong part of town—the Stupid Block. Don’t make the same mistake, visit my shop instead.

Ramek the Machine Slayer

Aegeon, Digital, Illustration / Michael

Ramek the Machine Slayer first appeared in Aegeon #1, in the short story “Ramek, Machine-Slayer” by Buffalo Jenkins. Since then he’s become a mainstay of the publication, answering fan mail and offering short commentaries on each of the stories.

I’ve decided on a whim to create a fan illustration of Ramek, resting after a successful hunt. The publisher of Aegeon was kind enough to feature it in the fourth issue. As usual, Ramek was drawn in ProCreate on my iPad Pro M1. This time I’ve saved several versions of the drawing in progress, allowing me to show you this slideshow:
