Private Eyes:
The Iron Mantis
2020, Illustration
I was contacted by a friend and writer, Keith Hodder who was writing on a show, Private Eyes. He asked if I would be interested in doing some art for an episode featuring a comic book as they wanted someone who could pull off a “classic comic style” and of course, I was happy to do it—plus my parents watch the show, so If I could impress them somehow I was in.

Below are are the designs for the characters as described by the show’s Art Department. The two were to be classic golden age characters, so I got my Jack Kirby on and pulled inspiration from characters like Ant-Man, Magneto and both Black Widows. Originally the character Tara Antula was to be her own heroine before she was sadly turned into a generic damsel.
