I’m jealous. I consider myself a decent artist but there are times when I come across another artist’s work (specifically a graphic novel artist) that is far superior than my own work.
Pencils, inks, colors and page layouts by stellar story artist and writer Ben Mauro who produced an incredible piece of work with his post-apocalyptic saga: Huxley.
Thames & Hudson has compiled Volume One of the Huxley Saga in an oversize softbound book.
When two soldiers: Max and Kai, came across an ancient sentient robot named Huxley they had no inkling as to the epic adventure and mystery that they were about to take part in.
On a planet devastated by nuclear war a special breed of clones was created to enforce law and order. Aided by A.I. the soldiers performed their duties.
But, like all biological beings they aged and were replaced. New, younger clones continued the programmed procedures in the wastelands.
Eventually robots, clones and A.I. formed different city-states. It is within one such city-that the Huxley Saga begins.
Wow! I am impressed! what a beautifully illustrated epic with an amazing color palette, powerful story and stunning visual effects.
Adding more spice the mix the book also contains the original pencil scans of the epic demonstrating just how talented the writer/artist is. I can only to hope to obtain the level of illustrative and color mastery as Ben Mauro has one day.
Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
