No Heroics: Ladytrouble Comic

The first episode airs tonight (10.30pm on ITV2 folks!), but I've been granted kind permission to show you the artwork which appears in episode two the following week. There's no need for me to plant any real plot spoilers here, suffice to say that the two main female characters (Electroclash and She-Force) once starred in their very own comic together.

I was commissioned to design and illustrate their first cover (with more than a hint of She-Ra thrown into the mix), plus an individual comic panel, supposedly extracted from one of the internal pages, with the girls battling an HGV-based baddie called Payload. I particularly enjoyed creating these pieces, going for a recognisable likeness, whilst keeping the comic inks on show.

I'll post some pics of the artwork as it appears in the show once it airs next week.
