The Bryan Talbot Gallery:
Heart of Empire Thumbnail Gallery 3

 

Here are the latest pictures to be added to the Gallery series. (also check out the Thumbnail Gallery 4, Thumbnail Gallery 2, and Thumbnail gallery 1)

The whole of Heart of Empire - together with all pencilled and inked pages, 60,000 words of annotations by Bryan and the whole of the Adventures of Luther Arkwright is available on a CD-Rom for only 18 US dollars.

Panel 1 of page 106 of issue 4 - static

Here is the first panel of this page in very first rough draft form, mid quality black and white form, and final, finished version in full colour.

The thumbnail, by the way, is my attempt to show all three stages in one image....


Animation of panel 1 of page 106

I tried this as an experiment, loading all of the stages of the creation of panel 1 of page 106 into a gif animation, and the result is amazing! (but owes rather more to Bryan's artistic skills than to my Photoshop ones!)

Check it out - but be aware, it's a fairly hefty file at approx 256k.


Panel 2 of page 106 of issue 4 - static

Here is the second panel from page 106 in all three stages of creation - with me sitting there in the background, on the far right....


Animation of panel 2 of page 106

Here are the three stages of panel 2 of page 106 in another single animation. This is also the first frame of the comic that actually has me as a background character in it.... that's me sitting on the chairs behind Gabriel on the far right of the row.

Check it out - but be aware, it's a fairly hefty file at approx 256k.


Panel 3 of page 106

Here is panel 3 of page 106 in all of its stages of production. Because this image is so big, I have created the page in two different versions: you can either see it all in one place - which is admitedly a hefty download, - or you can see each stage seperately: the first rough draft, the midway through version, and then the final coloured, printed version. Clicking on the thumbnail will take you to the all-in-one page.


Animation of panel 3 of page 106

Here's the animation of all three stages of creation of panel 3: it's a large file, but I hope you'll agree worth the download time.

And I am a character in this one too... as a thank you Bryan drew me in as an anti-fascist, anti-Royalist, anti-racist revolutionary...... yes!

Page One in full colour

This is it: this is where it all starts.... here is page 1 of the whole thing in it's full colour form....


Page One in first rough draft

This is it: this is where it all starts.... here is page 1 of the whole thing in it's first rough draft form....


Page 79 of issue 3 in colour

Here is another chance to see one of Bryan's pages from Heart of Empire in full colour version - and also in the first rough draft version (below)

I feel incredibly proud to be able to show fans of Bryan's work this kind of thing - his work evolving on the page....


Page 79 of issue 3 in rough rough draft

Page 79 in it's first rough draft version, on the way to becoming the masterpiece of the finished version above...


Page 15 of Issue One in rough version

This is Bryan's first rough draft of page 15 of issue 1.


Page 15 of Issue One in colour

This is page 15 of issue 1 in full glorious colour, put up here mainly to show the way that the page evolved as is went from first rough draft to this finished version.
