NOTE: These pages are shown without captions or SFX in the interests of protecting the story from leaking before the book is released. Okay, not so much here, obviously, but come on. A newspaper page with no text would be stupidly boring. Anyway...
The Redeemers is a story written by Eric Rampson and is set to be printed by Ronin Studios. The story follows an up-and-coming Chicago rock band, whose growing fan base is not only due to how much they can rock, but because of how amazing their live show is! The special effects, the storytelling, the costumes! Or so it seems. The Redeemers actually all have REAL supernatural powers and are regularly challenged at their shows by demonic forces!
This page was kind of a fun gear-change, making me flex some of my graphic design muscle rather than just straight illustration. Luckily, my old job as a Layout Assistant back at the Community Voice served me well here. I also got an oppotunity to showcase the first good piece of art I had done of the band within the story.
