A little heads up that Next week you can find me at Portsmouth Comic Con, both days. signing, sketching, selling my books and prints. Also I'll be on two panels on the weekend. See pic on the post for panel details. I'll be updating details on my website too.

How long does it take to sign 500 bookplates? Like 20 minutes, right? 😭 Anyway pre-order the long-awaited second volume of THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK from myself and @chriswildgoose.bsky.social wherever you buy books!

So, IDW again with the stealth release of this the final single issues in digital form. So if you're keen to catch The Hunger And The Dusk finale before the full trade of book 2 you can via Amazon. Apologiese for not getting the word out sooner.

QTP with a game that has a 10/10 soundtrack

My mate @marclaming.bsky.social with writer @alexdecampi.bsky.social and colourist Michael Woods are bringing back Dan Dare in an eye melting beautiful book. I think Marc may have been put on earth to draw this. Kickstarter already over halfway funded in a few days too. Get yours 🫡 🚀

Work in Progress: Back on Babs for a small minute. A variant for the Barbra Gordon: Breakout series scoming soon. Feels nice to get to do something for Barbra again. 🦇

Like a bull in a China Shop.

Aaand that's a wrap on my side of the art for The Hunger And The Dusk: Book 2! I'll be sure to post out any details once I know anything more about Book 2's release and will post some more peeks at it along the way. Meanwhile, I think I'm going to just curl up in a corner and have a little weep..

Nice to see this is out but I have to say, IDW did a weird stealth release of Book 2: #4 & #5 Despite the last plan we were aware of being that it would only be the collected Book 2 once completed. 🤷 I'm so sorry I've run this book so late but it's heartwarming to see it still has it's keen readers.

Comic Letterers should get cover credit.

I wasn't sure if I should say anything, but I saw so many posts like this yesterday, and I thought I might as well in case it helps anyone. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them! (5/5)

Great mini thread by Diana. Also a heads up that I have some Page ink samples people can download for free on my website to test colouring with. Indie/DC and BOOM pages. www.chriswildgoose.com/downloads Have fun if you do! Aiming to update this at some point with more recent pages.

Some thoughts after Portfolio Day and doing an artshare... If you want to work in #comics, you need sample pages. Editors and writers (probably) aren't going to hire you if you don't have sequentials (this applies to both artists and colorists). (1/5)

In stores this Wednesday ENDEAVOUR #2 from @dstlry.bsky.social by writing wizard @stephsmash.bsky.social lettering legend @tenapolitano.bsky.social colourist beyond compare Lee Loughridge and me at the drawing board. Sorry to flood your feeds but I worked my ass off to bring you this book :)

Good news, everyone. The second-to-last chapter of THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK has landed in my inbox.

Beyond the mere word of proud that our Orc baby has even just had a nod from the Hugo Awards. Even if this is as far as it goes. Thank you so much to anyone who has given us a vote. I'll keep a tiny hope we take home a win but that's some honourable company to be in. ⚔️ ❤️‍🔥⚔️

Popping back in one more time to say I will see you TODAY at Emerald City Comic Con! Let’s talk about cool swords. Happy to hang around and sign books afterwards. #ECCC25

I drew this last year for world book day. One of my favourite things I drew last year on a whim. Merry world book day out there to the keen readers. Even if you don’t have a book and it’s simply someone telling you a story of something amazing. ❤️‍🔥

Last time I finished working as a concept artist on a film to start a book and a person from another department asked what I did while working on the book. I said a similar list to this to them. Them: “I bet it pays better than here thoug” Me: 🥹 I do love working on comics but this list is REAL.

My mate Marc drawing a hell of a book over here. FOC 10th Feb 🤘⚓️🤘

Bit of an update on The Hunger And The Dusk.

Nice bit of news to read this morning. Les Affamés Du Crépuscle : Tome 1 (The Hunger And The Dusk: Book 1) Ranks at number 13 out of 45 for French albums sold in 2024. www.comicsblog.fr/49601-Comics... My little inky heart grows 3 times anytime I get good news about the French book. ❤️‍🔥

N.B.: Hot orcs! I read the incredible story of The Hunger and the Dusk and absolutely fell in love with all the characters and the world that @chriswildgoose.bsky.social and @gwillow.me have created. Gorgeous colours from Msassyk and letter from @simonbowland.bsky.social too. What a talented bunch!

REMMI Best IDW Book Nominee . . . The Hunger and the Dusk! The second volume has arrived and the tension is driving me crazy with anticipation! @idwpublishing.bsky.social @gwillow.me @chriswildgoose.bsky.social #msassyk @simonbowland.bsky.social Vote here: t.ly/KXZoc

So proud of Chris with this. He made this crazy little 'Secrets Of THe Majestic' book happen and went the extra mile to let it take off. The buzz and notice it's naturally gaining is so sweet to see. Well done lad!

Started a list for Comic Book Colorists go.bsky.app/2cpsQXo

I'm biased of course but I genuinely love this review.

Imagine being part of the team of Arcane knocking and knocking it out of the park so hard and perfectly as they have. Right now, I'm only on S2-E6. but man. I hope the creators can bask in the glory until the end of time. Truly perfect in my eyes.

Post a perfect album from the ‘90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

I've talked at length about how THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK has been one of my favourite comics of the past couple of years. Artist @chriswildgoose.bsky.social will be at the show, and while I don't know how many copies of Vol 1 he'll have, I know he's bringing lush prints. Find him at DSTLRY Hall A17.

Where to find me at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social This weekend. My new banner is this very Image too :)

A little peek at some Artist proof prints from The Hunger And The Dusk: Book 1 interiors I'll have with me this weekend. After Tbubz they will be availiable to buy via @gmasorders.bsky.social. A bit more of a lengthy detail on the prints written up on my Instagram: www.instagram.com/mrriktus/

(This is from the Ringo Award-winning comic book series THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK by me and @chriswildgoose.bsky.social, which you can purchase anywhere you buy books, including here at Bookshop: bookshop.org/p/books/the-... )

A little work on a piece I was hoping to have ready for Thought Bubble. Likley he won't be ready but I find this little guy soothing to draw in amongst ruins anyway.

A little peek at some page process behind The Hunger And The Dusk: Book 2. A HD version added to my Youtube Drawing Vids playlist here. for anyone wanting to pause and read the script page or check out details a litle more: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Listen to Conwy. Outlast your enemies. And buy yourself a copy of THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK Book 2, Issue 3, in stores today. Story by me, art by @chriswildgoose.bsky.social

Book 2: Issue 3 Coming soon. I'm really happy how this issue came out. Hoping to get some Behind the scenes peeks and process videos up soon.

Preview pages for next week's THE HUNGER & THE DUSK BOOK TWO #3 by @gwillow.me, @chriswildgoose.bsky.social, & Michele Assarasakorn! #hotorcsummer

Seconded, but the inner child would trade it all to have my books Porcelain or The Hunger And The Dusk animated. Porcelain: A Gothic Fairy Tale animated by Laika would be the purest dream come true.

Sneeky peek at some recent Inks for The Hunger And The Dusk: Book 2

'The Hunger and the Dusk: Book Two' #1 announced @gwillow.me @chriswildgoose.bsky.social #comics @@cliffchiang.bsky.social #fantasy Get a word from the creators here: aiptcomics.com/2024/04/15/t...

A little peek at the process behind The Hunger And The Dusk Interior pages. These were a few of my favourite pages of the series so far. Personally, I prefer drawing a set of pages soaking in characters and settting rather than a big double page splash. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI4E...

Very happy to say I'm at ThoughtBubble 2024 here in the UK. I missed last years show, so I feel like I have one to make up for this year! Genuinely looking forward to catching up with friends and comics family. Likely I'll open up my pre show commission list too, so stay tuned if you're interested

I've got these adorable limited edition postcards by @chriswildgoose.bsky.social left over from NYCC, so let's do a pre order campaign! Send a pic/screenshot of your receipt for THE HUNGER& THE DUSK Vol 1 to info dot gwillow at gmail dot com + your name/address and I'll mail you one.

If you found THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK made you happy enough to drop any of the creative team or the series itself a vote for the Ringo Awards, Then Orc-ish blessings be upon you, and you have my sword. ringoawards.com

Oh hey! It's World Book Day! 📚 An excellent day to pre order THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK Vol 1 from myself, @chriswildgoose.bsky.social, Msassyk, and @simonbowland.bsky.social. Order from your LCS, indie bookstore, request from your local library, or click here:

Happy World Book Day to all the bookworms out there. I was sent a pic yesterday of a teacher's classroom that had made a little The Hunger And The Dusk display for today's world book day. It made my week. Thank you, Steve.

Broody bull boy

Gettin' a bit silly going through the extra trouble of writing a hidden message in Orc-ish for The Hunger And The Dusk: issue 7 cover art. Juuuuust incase anyone gets keen enough to try and translate it. (I hope so)

Out Today! THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK: Issue #6 My personal favourite issue to draw. We get to see a young Tara explore the Silent Shore's ruins. I LOVE drawing rooty ruins. Story: @gwillow.me Art: Moi Colours: Msassyk Letters: @simonbowland.bsky.social Cover B: @cliffchiang.bsky.social Pub: IDW
