Welcome to Episode 327 of Storycomic Presents! I'm your host, Barney Smith from storycomic.com, and today we're thrilled to feature the exceptionally talented artist and illustrator, Les Garner. Known for his work on the Cult of Dracula series, Les joins us to discuss his latest project, "Reign of Dracula," currently seeking support on Kickstarter.

Les Garner's journey in the art world began at 19, traversing through various realms including indie comics, commercial illustration, storyboarding, and advertising. His early adoption of digital and 3D mediums has allowed his skills to evolve alongside the advancements in CG imaging and animation. As a co-owner of Sixus1 Media, a small studio based in Cincinnati, OH, Les continues to explore various facets of digital art and animation.

In this episode, Les delves into his graphic novel "Apocalypse Girl" and his client work across diverse industries. He also shares insights into his career as an independent freelance artist and the evolution of 3D illustration and design.

"Reign of Dracula" is set in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by demons and vampires, where Lilith, the mother of all demons, reigns supreme. The story follows Jonathan Harker and Arthur Holmwood leading a human resistance, and Dracula's daughters, Lucy and Mina, on a quest through Heaven and Hell. This 48-page horror-packed issue is written by Rich Davis and features Les Garner's stunning artwork, with a choice of seven covers by top comic artists.

Join us in this fascinating episode as we explore the depths of Les Garner's artistic journey and the thrilling world of "Reign of Dracula." Support the project at Reign of Dracula Kickstarter.
