Artist's Comments

This is my winning entry to the Ctrl.Alt.Shift comic competition. I was shortlisted and given a week to produce it based on a script by Lightspeed Champion. The competition was judged by Marjane Satrapi, Paul Gravett and Mr. Champion himself.

It's featured in the comic anthology book "Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption" which is the first time my work's been published and you can buy for £4.99 here [link]

My original artwork (ink washed especially for display, the printed version shown here has digital greys) will be on display at Lazarides Gallery in Soho, London [link] until November 30th, alongside other work from the book including paintings by Dave Mckean!

Exciting!

Congratulkations! this is an awesome epic comic. Im unclear on the ending though, is this smoke on the top left of the last panel, showing that the king's been pulverized?

I really like the way the story is told
:iconmumblingidiot:
No, the smoke is just incidental. Maybe a factory or a fire or something unpleasant.

The ending is meant to be ambiguous. There's no big payoff, the King just has to confront the fact that he is corrupt. Maybe he'll change, maybe he won't. At least that's how I read into it. As I said, the plot isn't mine, but I didn't have any strict guidelines on individual frames or how it particularly should look or anything.
