Killing Time Page

Here's a random page from Killing Time. Page 8 to be exact. This is taken from my 30 page submission that I am still in the process of sending around to publishers.

To put it simply it's about Ninjas in the future. It's kind of Naruto meets BladeRunner.

The story is set in a large derelict part of a city that has been walled off to house an ever growing population of criminals. Divided into 3 security classes the prison city houses everyone from petty thieves to cannibalistic murderers.

Guarded by a large team of well trained, well armed guards the city remains a relatively safe environment. That is unless you enter the high risk zones.

Inside the city lives the remnants of two ancient ninja clans. Their techniques and appearances are varied. As are their motives for joining with the clans to begin with. Both clans operate separately to the rest of the prison. Staying mostly out of the general population they wage their war from day to day. And night to night of course.

For a good deal of these ninjas, the prison city offers the perfect testing ground. They enjoy more freedom to practice their violent arts than would be available in the outside world.

The young guy in the foreground of panel 1 is the newest recruit to the war.

He has a surprise in store for everyone, including himself.

Breaker

This is Breaker from Killing Time. He breaks stuff. Accidently, on purpose, it doesn't matter. He just breaks stuff. Particularly other peoples bones. He's an ex-biker who's joined one of the ninja clans. He also becomes a good friend to James, the story's protagonist. He has more tattoos than I've drawn here but you get the idea.

He might not look like a ninja but he is. Stealth just aint his specialty.

Mach

This chap is Mach. Also from 'Killing Time'. Doing his bit for Ninja kind.

Ayame

Adding a splash of colour to March is Ayame, from Tenchu: Stealth Assassins originally on Playstation. I did this pic for my sister Emily. One of the first pictures I did entirely on my Wacom Cintiq.
