Artist Spotlight: Optimus Ryga

This week, we shine the spotlight on the brilliant , the exceptional line artist behind Episodes 1 to 5 of the Alamu Afro-Urban motion comic series.

His intricate linework breathes life into the world of Alamu, capturing its gritty beauty and dynamic energy with every stroke. But what goes into creating such compelling visual storytelling?

On Working in Layers

Asked about why he chose to draw on separate layers and how smooth that process was, Optimus Ryga shared:

The first lesson in digital art is understanding the power of layers. On the Alamu project, separating linework into distinct layers wasn’t just a stylistic choice; it was strategic. It streamlined the workflow for the motion graphics team, making the motion graphics smoother and more efficient. It also allowed me to make precise corrections quickly, without compromising the integrity of the artwork. Smart layering is not just good practice, it’s essential.

On the Toughest Challenge

And when we asked about the most challenging part of working on the first five episodes, the seasoned artist reflected:

My main challenge was staying consistent with the character designs, especially Oosa the Don (the villain) and Alamu (the protagonist). The creator had a specific mood and presence he wanted each appearance to convey. Early on, I occasionally missed key details while exploring the forms, but once I locked into the visual language, the process flowed seamlessly.

Don’t miss his stunning line art in this week’s episode of Alamu, dropping Thursday!

Celebrating two Nigerian art Icons with this stellar character profile/concept art created by them for the highly anticipated Afrofuturistic graphic novel “Lagelu: The Kingdom on Four Hills” (Season 2).

We don’t get to celebrate our veterans in the Nigerian Comic Industry every day, this post therefore goes to celebrate two Power Houses of creative force that worked on this piece. It has been our desire for some time now to bring these two enigmas together to create an artistic wonder same way there was a time fans desired to see the Hollywood legends "Arnold Schwarzenegger" and "Sylvester Stallion" grace our screen together in the same movie, after a long tiring wait, they eventually gave us what we wanted, grins.

ART by Babajide Briggs Adebimpe. Briggs as he is fondly called is an A-list Artist in a class of his own. He literally breathes art. With over three decades in the industry, he was a major player during the evolution of the Nigerian Comic Industry, being the Key Artist for Skybond Comics that dominated the scene in the early days of the industry. For people who are not aware, Briggs was the only story board artist that worked on the award winning, and globally acclaimed Mami Wata movie produced by C.J. “Fiery” Obasi. Working professionally on such a massive project is no small feat. Mami Wata has gone on to be premiered in Sundance Film Festival in 2023 (The largest independent film festival in the United States), the work won an award at the Dublin International Film Festival, was nominated at the Munich Film Festival, received 10 nominations and 3 awards at the African Movie Academy Award (AMAA) and in the just concluded African Magic Viewers’ Choice Award (AMVCA), it received 11 nominations while it walked away with the glamourous award for the best make-up artist!

COLOURS by Godwin Akpan. We are not sure Godwin Akpan needs any introduction as his reputation in the industry precedes him. A larger-than-life concept artist and Master digital colourist with a touch of gold, some of his recent strides are ground-breaking. Akpan was one of the first concept artists from Nigeria to work on the phenomenal “IWAJU” animation series; a collaboration between the global giant, Disney Animation Studios, and the Pan African Entertainment company “Kugali” the first of its kind collaboration outside the studio in a hundred years! Sequel to this, he emerged as the concept artist and art director for the 2D adaption of the phenomenal “Iyanu: Child of Wonder” under Lion Forge Entertainment, USA in collaboration with HBO and Cartoon Network. Iyanu Child of Wonder is a unique West African fantasy story by Dark Horse/YouNeek Studio.

With this concept art, we celebrate these two phenomenal icons of the Nigerian Comic Industry!
