As excited as I am for Romulus, I still found the expansion Prometheus tried for to be the most interesting thing brought to that universe. Wasn't done perfectly, but I love the doors it opened and explored and how it makes the alien potentially even more alien.
Hey, here's the raw art for the first Aliens: Resistance cover. It's in stores January 23, but if you want this one you need to let your stores know ahead so they can order it properly, so hit them up ASAP.
This page's been doing the instagram rounds, and it's a constant reminder of what I'm capable of and what I want to see more of in comics; something to strive to push beyond in projects to come...
10 years ago, I was hired by the director of Zombieland to help come up with stuff for Ghostbusters 3 because of an old drawing I did of a creepy Slimer. 10 years on, itβs exciting seeing new movies rolling out set in that universe and Iβm still drawing Slimer as creepy as I can
Just about to wrap up the illustration for

Warrior Predator... In the mean time, here's what I've done so far, coloured impeccably by

Was reached out to by the people over at the
@observer
. I'm sure a few of you aren't seeing much new, but I really appreciate seeing good, matter-of-fact reporting. Especially with things the way they are these days
Looks like I'm officially allowed to show this off, too. This is an illo I did with
@Spidey2099
for the ALIEN 40 YEARS 40 ARTISTS book out soon! I think we did this nearly two years ago now...
My first JURASSINKTOBER piece is done! For those who missed the first post, I'm not going to be posting something every day, but I'm going to do a run of pieces I chip away at every day through
#inktober
. Anyway, here she is!
...And done!
Alien vs Predator commission based on Mike Mignola's seminal cover for one of the first comics I bought for myself, Dark Horse's original Aliens vs Predator series.
Bird up!
My name is Trist; I wrote a bunch of comics and drew a bunch of comics. I've done stuff for games and movies and junk, too!
Here's a few recent favourites for
#PortfolioDay
Unpublished Aliens covers I did with colours by
@SimonGough2099
that were meant to connect to that rad Aliens game that came out a couple of years ago...
You know what's fucked? I had people warn me that saying anything could backfire on me and blacklist me as a troublemaker.
For standing up for myself.
For standing up for creators.
Imagine being blacklisted for standing up for truth & justice by companies built on those ideals
This is another favourite I've been sitting on (first time I've drawn a proper chestburster, too)! My cover for
@DarkHorseComics
#Aliens
: Colonial Marines

! Hit your comic shops to get your name down for a copy!
The commission list is just about full! Anyone wanting to secure a spot on the list, even for way down the track, needs to email me today so I can start finalizing the schedule. The very talented
@Spidey2099
will also be jumping on colours for those wanting that little bit extra!
So here's a look at the evolution of my latest
#PREDATOR
package art for
@NECA_TOYS
, from the initial sketch, to the line art, to the final coloured version perfectly rendered by my ALIENS colour sorcerer,
@Spidey2099
!
I hope this's the only time I'll have to do this, but if you run a comic shop or want this, please reconsider. This cover by Greg Land is comprised largely of my work (see my pinned tweet). Get the OG one if you have to have it. Don't support unethical behaviour from publishers.
I really want to thank everyone for the love. It's bizarre and I don't think I've ever been this angry to be honest. I'll try and hit people back, but I have to go TO MY DAY JOB. BECAUSE I HAVE TO WORK A DAY JOB to EARN my living so I can DRAW, GREG.
Look, I haven't been able to draw much lately, or at least much I can show, so I'm showing this again because I really like it, which is rare with my own stuff. Once I clear the stuff I'm on I might get a very early head start on Jurassinktober because odds are I'll need it...
I finally got my comp copies of
@titanbooks
#Alien
40 Years 40 Artists, and it's amazing! To celebrate, I'm giving away a signed copy with a quick sketch to one lucky follower! Like and retweet to go into the running; the winner will be chosen at random this time next week!
Just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone that grabbed one of the alien prints over the weekend! Youβre all awesome and I love you! Thank you for your continued support! Theyβre at the printers and will ship ASAP. Now back to writing and commissionsβ¦

@sstarkm
How do I get in on that Metroid action...? Asking for a friend that is both a writer and a guy that draws stuffs.
That is also me.
@AlexRMichael
@tinyelbows_
The thing that fucks me off about most of this is that it's either his own work he's rehashing, or it's photos of models and google search. This is LITERALLY someone else's art.

I'm on Instagram, too
