Stickleback Prototype Page 1

Original version of page one of Stickleback for 2000AD
Stickleback © 2006/7 Rebellion/2000AD
Created by Ian Edginton & Me.


Because I was playing with such a new technique on Stickleback, I did several tests before starting work on the strip proper. Panels 1 and 5 of this page were done as single images and pasted in later; the rest of the page was done in one go, but I decided I wasn't happy with the drawing and stroytelling in the main panel and panel 3. Since time was tight on the first episode, I drew the other nine pages and then went back to this afterwards - so if I'd run late, this would have been the page that saw print.

I really like this illustration style. It sort of looks like a digital mix of ink-brush and collage.

I bet it would animate in flash nicely as well.
