“Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell” a Comic by Alex Giles & Ka De Oki

Posted on by

Hey Guys,

Time to share another pitch I am working on and its moving pretty fast which is awesome 🙂

This book is called “Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell”

I am super lucky to be working with the great artist Ka De Oki who is also the artist for our other project ‘Last of the Unliving’ which I am co-writing with Lou Frontier.

This story that Ka and I are doing is about a monster hunter called Miss Elizabeth Mitchell who is a total bad ass beast slayer based in the Victorian Era of the 1800’s known as ‘The Slayer’.

The pitch features ‘Spring-Heeled jack’ who is brutally murdering the women of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Spring-Heeled Jack character design by Ka.

Miss Elizabeth Mitchell the monster slayer gets a letter to come and help, this is when the hunt for Jack begins.

Super excited about this project and look at some of the earlier character designs for Spring-Heeled Jack by Ka and a little snippet of some pencils for page 1 😀

Will share more about the project when I can 😉

We should realistically have this done in a few months and then will get the pitching package made up.

‘Ella’ The Comic Book by Alex Giles & Ammar Al-Chalabi

Posted on by

Hey guys, it’s time for another update on ANOTHER project that I have not spoken about yet in which I am the writer and letter for called ‘Ella’.

I am collaborating with an amazingly talented artists called Ammar Al-Chalabi who is based in Holland.

He is the artist and co-creator of the hugely popular web series ‘Wart’ which I recommend you to check out HERE.

Here is a character design for Ella from our story ‘Ella’ that he has done which is PERFECT 😀

13115388_1060492840688437_852922422_n

She literally looks EXACTLY like i pictured in my head.

Our story ‘Ella’ actually originated as a four page short I wrote last year but it never got round to being made.

I really loved the story and had so many ideas that I wanted to input into the story as well as make the original four pages a bit more spread out so the art could breathe more.

It’s an all age story about a young girl Ella who discovers a family secret that changers her life and making her more special and important than she could ever have believed.

It’s an adventure and discovery story with some anthropomorphic animal’s in a comic the whole family can enjoy 🙂

I have to admit that I have totally lucked out grabbing Ammar as the artists on the book as his style is a perfect fit for what I had in mind and he is equally as passionate about the story and fact it’s an all age book.

He has a great diverse look to his art, have a look at these images below, they are some of his work (not from our comic as to give nothing away).

He is an Illustrator, Comic Artist & Graphic Designer of huge talent and you can check out his website HERE. Also give his twitter a follow HERE.

Am looking forward to sharing more about this story in the coming months with little teasers of the art and pages and some more synopsis to get you excited 😀

The Last of the Unliving by Alex Giles, Lou Frontier & Ka De Oki

Posted on by

Time for another update on a project I am working on called ‘The Last of the Unliving’.

The project came about as myself and my good buddy Lou have been speaking about co-writing a story for ages and when we were speaking about this project it seemed perfect, and also we get the chance to work with a great artist like Ka so its good stuff all round, I will also be lettering it (obviously).

The story itself is one of a battle between Vampires, Mutants and Humans and follows our three main characters Tik, Dario and Sasha as they battle through a world where humanity as well as vampires are nearly extinct and being overrun with mutants.

Don’t want to give too much of the story away but figured I would share with you at this early stages some information and a few of Ka’s phenomenal character designs 🙂

Update on ‘The Odd Lot’ from Alex Giles & Pete Jones

Posted on by

Hey guys, time for another update on ‘The Odd Lot’ as we are tearing through this.

Thought I would put another update on as I’ve had surprisingly (well maybe not too much as the book is awesome) a lot of people comment and ask for a bit more information on the story and so here I am, updating and even showing you THE COVER!

This book as mentioned in a previous post HERE, was inspired by a song from Stanley Odd.

It’s about a group of teens and young adults whose DNA strands change after swimming in nuclear waste at Gare Loch next to Faslane Naval Base giving them powers.

Having gone back and reworked both the script and the art, Pete and myself have nearly completed the pitch which we will use for publishers to see.

Here is a look at the cover with logo I created and a sneak peek at some of the panels and style of art you can expect to see inside the book.

Cover1 IMG_3149

Now these panels haven’t been coloured yet as all we have to do for the pitch is colouring and lettering 🙂

Anyways hopefully be back with another update soon.

‘Almost’ by Giles, Dunham & Gonzalez Page 4 Peek from Kayfabe Anthology

Posted on by

Hey guys, been a while since I have put a post-up so thought I would share this sneak peek of a page from the eight page story ‘Almost’ that I wrote and lettered with brilliant art from Chase Dunham and Maxi Gonzalez with some phenomenal colouring.

The story is going to be in Kayfabe Anthology which as you probably already have guessed is all about wrestling.

The standard of talent working on the book is pretty amazing.

Will have more information on when it will be available soon but I can tell you that you can purchase it both digitally and in print from drivethrucomics.com when released.

Also after having some discussion’s with Chase and I am positive Maxi will be on-board we are actually going to be turning this story into a miniseries.

The three of us are MEGA busy on other projects for the remainder of 2016 but hopefully early 2017 we can get the pitch sorted to send to publishers 🙂

Here is a little sneak at page four from our story and an unlettered panel from page one.

Thanks for reading.

As yet untitled story by Alex Giles & Ed Bickford

Posted on by

Hey guys,

This is the third last new project I am working on that I will be sharing with you, this is another short story that comes in at five pages and will also be in Fear Collective #1.

I will have two stories in issue #1 which will be this untitled one and the one I shared last week ‘Sorry my Love’, and I think ‘A Killer Birthday’ will be one of the issue #2 stories.

In this I cannot tell you how happy I am to be working with the artist Ed Bickford as I am such a massive fan of his art style and work.

We are actually really good friends and chat on a pretty much daily basis but are both unbelievably busy with comics and real life.

Ed and I have a very similar taste in movies, manga, comics and anime and spoke back and forth about what kind of stories would be cool, one day he decided (can’t remember if I was begging, pleading or blackmailing him) but he said the amazing words “I can possibly just about fit a five page short in my workload, in a few months, if you want to do that story we were speaking about”, I actually punched the air in my office like I had just watched Scotland win the world cup.

This is the first character sketch of the main protagonist and it is a thing of beauty!

12814407_10154578377313098_1967695419860561554_n

I don’t want to share too much so that you will buy the book that the story is in but it’s a balls out, bloody, action, samurai story that you will LOVE.

Ed is also the artists for the awesome web series ‘The Birdlander’ which you can read here!

This is some of Ed’s lunch time art, it’s pretty much an image a day over his lunch while at work and it can show how great his stuff is.

12742125_10154522745223098_2084488076830681873_n 12744402_10154539015198098_1041183125387098772_n 12794551_10154557337908098_2454894356265745096_n

I will be back in the next couple weeks to share the final TWO NEW project’s I’ve been working on and then I should be just updates on projects for a good half a year 🙂

Thanks as always for reading 😀

BACK with ‘The Odd Lot’ by Alex Giles & Peter Jones

Posted on by

We are back with ‘The Odd Lot’ after what we started over a year ago.

It has come around and actually worked out better for us that we did take a break from the comic.

When we started the book over a year ago both of us in “comics” was just getting going and ended up with us both having a bunch of other stuff to do as well, this book is a labour of love and a story I absolutely adore, and so what happened was when we revisited the story at the end of last month it was deemed we both thought we could do a lot better and so we decided to rip it up and start again.

A rewrite, new character designs and basically it is all looking AMAZING.

I was happy with how it was all looking before but Pete is knocking these character designs out the park and we are BACK IN BUSINESS!!!

Here is the new character design for Stanley.
Stan

And here is a new shot of the group together 😀
The Odd Lot

Super happy to be sharing this information and will hopefully have a little bit more news on the project I can share soon, don’t want to give away too much just now 🙂

You can read more on ‘The Odd Lot’ from a post I put up February of last year, and although it feels like this has been a bit of a trek to get this book going we are heading in the right direction, we are much happier with how we are handling the book now as well 🙂

See you soon with some more news.
