B Movie, Pulp and SciFi 2006 - 2009 #1 Maxed media art this page. . . airbrush, pencils, acrylic paints, photography and 3d modelling Taking a look back at some earlier Brookswave sci-fi and B Movie projects. 2006 - 2009  Alan G. Brooks - Jay Brooks BROOKSWAVE #2                                                                                     Drone Footage - Tunnel Exploration - Dr Clockheart Series 2006 The story of Dr Clockheart is the story of the unrecognised  now. It is ironical that to tell a story of the N O W it is best addressed as a fictional tale of a somewhere, a someday, in the future perhaps. Surely the things that the artwork and story describe are not "going on" as we speak? Are they? I mean . . . that would be too much. An overload. Well, if poisoned ...

 This or That is . . . Now and Then [Alan G Brooks 2018] ---| implanting of machine forces into humans |--- Man will, in time, manage to implant the death-forces in man, related to electrical and magnetic forces, with external machines. He will then be able to direct his intentions, his thoughts into the machine.

 Pearl of the Cobra Pilot / Navigator #1 / Page art Flying Ship Operatives - storyboard / animation design Title Card Page art - a retro sci fi noir adventure -  More animation plotting / plus graphic novel double page Medieval / Medi evil Ship crash-land - page art Two Worlds / Fight scene / page art. Some bits and pieces from Pearl of the Cobra developed with Jay Brooks back in Illinois. These pieces / pages and designs were all done in a multitude of ways. Jay did computer modeling . We both did photography and I did the majority of digital drawing and hand painting. We handed pieces back and forth to one another, cleaning up as we went along. Details of the Pearl of the Cobra and it's legend, mystery and supernatural abilities are documented here . It is up to you to decide if such a thing does indeed exist or not. Alan Brooks

 Ret Romanne - [Retroman] Ret Romanne is from the United Nations Off World base of Utopia - or as those who reside there call it - UNTOPIA. A world of surveillance cameras, monitoring and investigation under the eyes of "Destinies Designed Corp."  Pat Riot, Operations Manager at the Corporation may have something to do with a fateful crash and Ret's demise both as a successful test pilot and as the partner of actress Glenda Swansong.  Ret thinks so.  Glenda was once a starlet in the making, but now works in the Diner at the end of the road where Ret [unbeknownst to Glenda] now lives. The couple fell apart after the crash. Now the world is rapidly falling apart with them as it spirals into more and more disastrous ways on its own course to  . . . who knows where!

Continuing  . . . . . . I showed some edited highlights from the Flying Saucer project Jay Brooks and I worked on back in 2006 / 2007. I have taken the color out of the pieces so that they ring more true to the 1950's B movie and Sci Fi tv fodder of the day back then. The likes of the Outer limits, Twilight Zone - and children shows shows such as Fireball XL5 and Space Patrol all had an impact. That show with its black and white imagery, robots and strange characters might just have been directed by David Lynch as far as I am concerned. Way ahead of it's time and equally as spooky! Page art from the project. Page art / panels. These pieces and the previous post have artwork that was allowing us to experiment with how my own stories might develop in a retro future way. The Doctor Clockheart story and artwork have a retro future look that echoes some of the experimentation that was tried out in some of the Flying Saucer project and art. Information downlo...

Versus the Earth . . . The Way We Were . . . Some notes and thoughts to go with artwork for an old project from around  2006 ish.  My son and I used to watch all the old sci fi movies and sword and sorcery epics while he was growing up in Birmingham in the eighties. We particularly liked Jason and the Argonauts, the animated tv shows of a Saturday morning - Star Fleet - Battle Star Galactica - Star Wars of course - and  . . well, I could go on and on. But we pretty much devoured it all. It was great fun. So when the opportunity came where we could work alongside some of those shows and people that inspired us - you'd better believe we took it! Overkill! I have posted the color versions of some of the artwork made for the Flying Saucer project shown here over at   the website Cover art I have posted the black and white versions of the work here. I believe these versions really are in keeping with the feel and atmosphere of the shows...

 . . . what? MANSTROSITY! I said "R.4. - Dawn of the Vymme" . . . it's in part a retelling of the legend of King Arthur and his knights of the round table. It is a story to keep the legends and mythology of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales alive. It is also done with a steampunk, and cyberpunk "twist" if you like. The Dawn of the Vymme part is a tip of the hat to all the old fifties and sixties Hammer Horror type films, Outer Limits tv show and so on. R.4. - Dawn of the Vymme R.4. - Dawn of the Vymme. An Arthurian sci fi steampunk mash up! Now and then . . . retro future . . . or is there no future? . . . Time will tell. Ruination - ruined nation - from the ashes . . . R.4. approaches the Steam City Dawn of the Vymme - starring "ROYD" of Dr Clockheart fame. Who watches the watchers?
