Tales of the Fallen: Band of Butchers – Early Character Sketches

/ Barry Nugent / 1 Comment

I thought you might like to see some of Rob Carey’s character sketches from the upcoming Band of Butchers being written by Dan Thompson. Rob has stressed these are ‘early sketches’ and his first take on the characters. If you’ve read Fallen Heroes then Clancy, Stony and Kelly will be familiar names to you and I think Rob has already captured them brilliantly even at this early stage. I keep thinking that this like all the other spin off is going to be one pretty comic when it’s finished.

Seeing these in my inbox was certainly a great way to start off a Wednesday.

Welcome to Glasgow Comic Con. The first event of it’s kind in Glasgow for 15 years. We’ll be going ‘old school’ with new twists. The event will be taking place in the unconventional but totally stunning Mackintosh Church, Arts & Heritage Centre, where “pop culture comics meets a design icon”.

For the first time ever, we’ll be hosting a new annual awards celebrating indy creators! The Scottish Independent Comic Book Awards VIP party, 18 June 8pm – midnite at the Mackintosh Church. (separate tickets available for this)
The Day will be stacked with signings (All FREE), sketching sessions, talks and panels. Plus a dealers room full with comics, toys and stuff.

Everyone gets a FREE goody bag on the day, which includes the ‘Glasgow Comic Con guide’ (cover price £7.50), full of new art.

 

If you’re heading to the Glasgow comic con this Saturday be sure to find Martin Conaghan, the writer of the Fallen Heroes comic adaptation. Martin will be on hand selling copies of Fallen Heroes#1 during the day. You can find him on the Burke and Hare table, located in the Indy/Small Press Publishers area.

Unseen Shadows: Tales of the Fallen – Character Posters by Steve Penfold

Check out these awesome poster images of the stars of the spin off comics which will form the Tales of the Fallen anthology. The posters were drawn by Steve Penfold, the artist on Fallen Heroes comic adaptation and The Reverend:Wrath of God spin off comic.

I had no idea Steve had done these images and I’ve only just seen them and I’m still trying to put into words what seeing these and all the other pieces of art that  is starting to come through means to me. I’m excited, scared,inspired and most of the time just plain humbled by the wealth of talent working on these projects. I am a very lucky writer.

Stunned just stunned.

Clancy Wallencheck: Band of Butchers by Dan Thompson, Robert Carey and Vicky Stonebridge

First Look at Band of Butchers

So another happy day for me as I get to show off another little piece of tasty art from one of the upcoming spin off comics. In this case an early character sketch from artist Rob Carey, who is working on the spin off ‘Band of Butchers’ centered on mercenary Clancy Wallencheck.

The fact Rob knocked this fantastic sketch up in this lunch break should give you some idea of the standard of art you can expect from this project.

Enjoy!

Clancy Wallencheck is a very bad man – the commander of an elite team that have nothing to live for and a whole lot of people to kill.

 

From the mountains of Pakistan to the waters of Venice, there have been a thousand corpses in Clancy’s life.

 

This is the story of the one that mattered.
