Artwork Finished on ‘The Heart Which Makes Us’

I am extremely happy to report that after keeping him trapped on a hellish island, much like Oliver Queen, that Aaron Moran, artist on ‘The Heart Which Makes Us’ has been allowed to take his first breath as a free man.

The reason for Aaron’s freedom is that he has finished all 102 pages of art on our first Unseen Shadows graphic novel. Aaron has exceeded my expectations and blown me away not only with his work ethic but his artwork which speaks for itself. This, along with, Lizzie Boyle’s stellar script has made for a great combo.

For those who loved Kathryn in the novel, you will not be disappointed.

Now the story is in the capable hands of Paul Mclaren to put the words on the comic page.

You will be able to judge for yourself when’The Heart Which Makes Us’ is released later this year.

‘The Heart Which Makes Us’ – New Art

Ha ha fooled you! I bet you thought we had disappeared from the face of the earth? No ? oh ok in that case forget what I just said and welcome back to Unseen Shadows.

I’ve not updated the blog in a while but that doesn’t mean that the shadows (unseen or otherwise) have not been moving. Work has been continuing on the second novel as well as several other projects. Hopeful now a few of them are well on their way to being completed we can start cranking out some production art and info.

For today’s little taste and seeing as its the end of the week I thought I would give you not one but two pages from our first graphic novel ‘The Heart Which Makes US’ by Lizzie Boyle, Aaron Moran and Paul Mclaren.

The pages are a nice look at how the star of the graphic novel, TORCH agent Kathryn Monroe sees the world.

Enjoy

I know, I know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from the Unseen Shadows crew but rest assured the team have beavering away on several projects. First up is the news that we now have an artist for our Choose your own adventure story Napoleon Stone and the Army of Set.

The story has been written by Richmond Clements (Historia, Operation Solomon) who will be joined by his Historia artist Alex Moore who is getting her teeth stuck into the project as I type.

Here’s the first look at some early sketches from Alex. I reckon this is going to be my new wallpaper!

I was a huge fan of Alex’s work on Historia and more than a little excited by seeing what she’s doing even at this early stage.

The finished book will be available both in digital and printed form.
