*Opening cover art 'The Urban Ninja' - Poster 1: The Axiom Saga
(2011)
Hey there people,
what a year its turned out to be, at long last I've been on the way to producing the concept for my graphic novel, The Urban Ninja, and I'm starting to make some headway into getting it out of my head and onto a digital page. Over the last year I've been tweaking and drawing/painting all the aspects of the characters, the story and the environment to produce my first online issue.
Set in the future our hero, Ethan Shaw, heir to the entire Shaw conglomerate empire is dawned with an impossible task as he realises that the basis of his life has been built on a lie lead by his father, Victor Shaw, as he’s spent years ... (possibly even decades) setting the rules and manipulating the course of their beloved city, Titan City.
Believed to be a humanitarian and a philanthropist Victor is actually a secret cybernetics arms dealer and has been trying to gain controlling stake of the entire city virtually by any means. Now on the day of his inauguration and being brought into the family business Ethan fakes is own disappearance and steals his father’s most prolific and untested cybernetic weapons – two energy enhancing super suits [codename: Wr8ith] and the mysterious Psyonic blade. Ethan now vows to bring his father’s company down and prove to the world how evil his father really is.

I have been working on this for some time now and feel as though all the aspects of it are in place to finally push it and start building something innovative and awesome.
Here's just a lil' conceptual promo poster I've designed, over the next few weeks I'll be putting up more of my concept work and ideas to familiarise viewers with the characters and concepts. And as always please keep watching this space.
