With the release of Alien Earth just around the corner I was reminded that I hadn’t posted the larger Xenomorph piece I painted - which was partly cropped (and scarred) in my Romulus poster artwork. #alienearth #xenomorph #aliensmovie #alien #alienromulus #aliens #weylandyutani #perfectorganism

I’ve uploaded an overview of my process in the creation of SOUNDWAVE SUPERIOR along with some accompanying images - give it a look over if you’re interested :D

++ SOUNDWAVE SUPERIOR ++ Here my latest artwork… As an 80s kid I was fortunate to experience Transformers when it was first released. At the time I remember being in awe of the gorgeously illustrated box art portraits and that classic artwork has inspired me ever since… #soundwave #transformers

WIP Update I’m half way through two new contrasting pieces, as you can possibly see this one is has some really moody lighting and is quite complex - more armor! The other is very colourful, bold and stylised! Hopefully I’ll have at least one complete for ComicCon Midlands #wip #wipart

WAR MACHINE This has been on my hit list of characters I wanted to paint for some time. War Machine is one of my Marcel favourites. That final battle of Iron Man 2 makes me grin from ear to ear every time I watch it. Prints available #warmachine #ironman #marvel #rhodey #rhodeyrhodes #armor #mcu

20 years ago my wife and I played through Pikmin and sadly could never defeat the final boss… something we’ve always regretted 😅 Over the Easter break we played it through once again, collected all ship parts, defeated the boss and finished the game! Wahoo 🍃 #pikmin

Happy Easter Brothers! #warhammer40k #spacemarine2
