We had a fun (but super busy) day yesterday painting this wall. It’s a Rogue Trooper wall that was hijacked by Judge Rascal. Fun but a bit rushed, even after spending 9.5 hrs on it. Good to see the guys. Painted alongside @kidcrayon1 and @teragraff

SP:Zero (aka Keith Hopewell) @sp-zero.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Heading down to the M32 to paint this alongside Kid Crayon and Tera today… just for fun! @_rogue_trooper @2000adcomic @roguetrooperfilm @2000adartcomp #judgerascal @judgedredd_net @judgedreddfanpage

How cool is this! I got my ‘After the Robot Apocalypse’ Issue 4 Superstar Artist Variant back from the superstar artist that painted the cover… and he’s signed it! Yay. Love it. Thanks so much @ewanagain Ps there are still a couple of these covers available on my Big Cartel..

Inking this soon. Another page from Issue 5 of my After the Robot Apocalypse comic. But who are the characters!? Hmm.

SP:Zero (aka Keith Hopewell) @sp-zero.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

I can’t believe it’s been five years since I painted this wall. It was called ‘Freedom’ and was painted in 2021, just after the Covid lockdowns when we couldn’t go out or to the countryside. It features Nicki and Scout from my After the Robot Apocalypse comic, 1 year before Issue 1…

SP:Zero (aka Keith Hopewell) @sp-zero.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Here is a sneak peak of some of the amazing colouring of Issue 5 of After the Robot Apocalypse by the awesome @cf_lum I’m so pleased that CF is back for Issue 5. I love working with him and his colours are badass! I mean, how cool does this page look!? #comic #comiccolorist

I drew this the other day and thought it would be fun to share another process video. Yes! Another inking (and colouring) video. Created using @procreate

Not Another Inking (@Procreate inking) Video! Yep! Another. I know people like these, but let me know if you do… or don’t! #inking #drawing #comic #comicdrawing

One of my favourite parts of creating comics is building the world and designing the characters that live within the fictional story I’m telling. In Issue 5 you will be introduced to the ‘main baddies’ of this story… and here is a sneak peak of my concept sketches.

000

SP:Zero (aka Keith Hopewell) @sp-zero.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

I promised I would make this sketch into a short comic strip. Here you go. Hope you like it. Trash Panda luchador wrestling a cactus luchador! #luchador #mexicanwrestling #trashpanda #raccoon #mexico

SP:Zero (aka Keith Hopewell) @sp-zero.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

I was supposed to head out and paint with the amazing @thedoordieclub last week, but I’m a fair weather princess these days, so due to bad weather I didn’t go… but this is what I would have painted! The wall was Mexican inspired and I thought Rascal as a luchador wrestling a cactus would be fun!

SP:Zero (aka Keith Hopewell) @sp-zero.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

I’m so lucky, throughout my art career, to have worked with so many talented creators and I’m so glad that that has continued into my comic creating. Here are the Superstar Artist Variant Covers of “After the Robot Apocalypse” 2-6 (5-6 still to be released).

SP:Zero (aka Keith Hopewell) @sp-zero.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

How cool is the full colour cover of the Superstar Artist Variant for Issue ‘6’ of ‘After the Robot Apoclaypse’ by @calum.gillespie Admittedly it isn’t coming out until later this year, or early next year (as I still have Issue 5 to come out first).
