Nick Percival is a British graphic artist and graphic novelist primarily known for his published comic book, concept artwork and career in computer animation directing.

Biography

Percival's first published work was in the monthly British comic Judge Dredd Megazine with a horror 'strange cases' tale written by Dave Stone. After several similar stories in the Megazine, he then went on to paint a nine-part story set in Judge Dredd's world in the Cursed Earth with the series Sleeze 'n' Ryder, where Nick worked with acclaimed writer Garth Ennis.

The pair would later work together again for the British weekly comic 2000 AD on the Judge Dredd epic "Goodnight Kiss", another tale set in the radioactive wasteland of the Cursed Earth, where Judge Dredd is hunted by the assassin Jonni Kiss and the mutant Brotherhood of Marshalls.

Percival also painted the Sláine story "King of Hearts" for 2000 AD, where he worked with the co-creator of 2000 AD, Pat Mills.

Aside from his 2000 AD work on various stories and painted covers, including a Dredd one-off story "Crime Prevention" with acclaimed comic book author Mark Millar, Percival has also produced work for Marvel Comics, MTV, Wizards of the Coast, Upper Deck Entertainment, Boom! Studios, IDW Publishing, Electronic Arts, Sony, Warner Bros., Activision, Atari, Sci Fi Channel, History Channel, Microsoft, and Fantasy Flight Games.

He also became prolific in the video game and animation industries where he ran an animation studio in the UK. He directed computer generated cut-scenes for video game such as Men in Black II: Alien Escape, Z: Steel Soldiers, Carmageddon TDR 2000, and the Games Workshop licensed video game of Gorkamorka. His company also developed their own computer generated short films and Percival presented one of these successfully at the Cartoon Movie Festival 2002 in Berlin.

Percival is the author and illustrator of Legends: The Enchanted,[1] an original graphic novel, to be adapted into a feature film by Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment.[2] Legends: The Enchanted won the HorrorNews Net award for Best Original Graphic Novel 2010.[3] and was nominated for an Eagle Award for Favourite Single Story 2010.[4]

In 2015, Percival won the 13th Annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award for Best Cover Art for his painted Nightbreed cover for Fangoria magazine.[5]

Percival's poster artwork for the independent horror film Female Werewolf won the Fantastic Cinema Excellence in Poster Design Award 2016.[6]

In 2017, he won the Horror News Network's Comic Award for Best Cover Artwork of 2017 for the comic book Hook Jaw. [7]

More recently, Percival has been painting the continuing saga of Judge Dredd's most famous nemesis, Judge Death and the Dark Judges, with the Dark Justice: Dominion and The Torture Garden series.[8]

Percival has since completed four series in the Dark Judges saga for 2000AD and continues to illustrate Judge Dredd. [9]
