What is Metal Made Flesh?
After a chance meeting at a convention in 2011, Simeon Aston and Jeremy Biggs have been working together to create the illustrated cyberpunk novella “Metal Made Flesh”: a collection of 3 short stories set in a futuristic world created and illustrated by Aston, and written by Biggs.
It details the exploits of 3 mercenaries as they try to survive in the hostile environment on Tuaoni.
Simeon has been working on the project for over 5 years and has amassed an enormous body of work concerning the world - it's a real labour of love for him - and we hope to bring the same passion, dedication and enthusiasm to these three stories.
Inspired by concept designers and illustrators, Moebius, Syd Mead, H.R. Giger and Masamune Shirow to name but a few, the artwork is an integral part of the story that frees the prose to concentrate on telling a fast paced plot-driven narrative with a heavy dash of satirical social commentary.
If you like Philip K Dick, Bladerunner, Ghost in the Shell, William Gibson or Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror series then you'll find much to like in Metal Made Flesh.
The three stories are entirely self contained origin stories and so can be read separately, but also contain several cross over elements. After Metal Made Flesh is completed we hope to open up the world for future stories where the characters are forced to work together.
Earlier this year we released a trial run of Flesh to rave reviews:
"Gritty, adult sci-fi with few punches pulled... cyberpunk with great hardware" - DJ Food (Strictly Kev) - Ninja Tunes, Solid Steel Radio.
"One amazing sci-fi epic graphic novella... 5/5" - Adrian Mursec - Superrobotmayhem.com
"Gripping... If Bladerunner and Judge Dredd are even remotely your thing then Flesh is most definitely up your street and you will not be disappointed." - Richard Cosgrove - Shadowlocked.com
