comicbookoutsiders — Mon, 23 May 2011 07:50:13 +0000

Welcome to a special edition of CBO! This panel was recorded at the 2011 Bristol convention. Scott was lucky enough to host a panel discussing the amazing Slaughterman’s Creed. The complete creative team were involved in the panel, Cy Dethan (writer), Stephen Downey (art), Vicky Stonebridge (art) and Nic Wilkinson (lettering). We talk in detail about the conception of the graphic novel and the creative process that went into the final product. This is a discussion not to be missed!

In order to illustrate the discussions a presentation was projected so that the audience could see some of the things that were talked about. There was also a video showing the photo-reference process that Stephen Downey used for some scenes. If you would like to see the presentation and videos be sure to visit: http://www.cydethan.com/index.php?page=bristol-comics-expo-panel and you can follow along!
