Nemesis The Warlock

Description

There are times when one is inspired. To that end I have been greatly inspired by a certain comic-book character (from the 80's) that I have recently discovered. I wish that I could claim that this beast was my "own" creation...but I cannot.

This is Nemesis The Warlock, created by Artist Kevin O'Neill and writer Pat Mills of the famed UK comic publishing company Eagle Comics circa 1984

This is my humble attempt to emulate a style of inking, a mood, a character that has really moved me. Inspiration is its own reward and I would hope that some day some of "my" work would do the same for someone else.

Here I have recreated a scene from one of the comic panels. It's completely pen and ink...nothing but Koh-I-Noor pens, Pentel brushpen and 9x12 Bristol board. There are no digital effects here and only enough clean-up (using Twisted Brush Pro) to correct what the scanner bed would not hold.

This piece will be framed this weekend and hung proudly here in the house.

I hope that you find Nemesis as intriguing a character as I, and I hope that I did him justice. Needless to say that O'Neill's inking and art will forever change and influence my own art from now on.

by far my favourite comic book of all time. Nemesis was truly dark and otherworldly - when I was a kid I was absolutely fascinated by him. Great rendition of the ultimate deviant!
