A child of the 80\u2019s raised on a mixture of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Comics, Movies and Metal music.<\/p>\n<p>Clients include 2000 AD Comics, Marvel, Lucas Film, Metallica, Slipknot, Ozzy, Sony Music, Music For Nations, Santa Cruz Skateboards, Metal Hammer, Xbox, Gears of War, Tony Hawk, Activision, Rockstar Energy Drink and more. He also collaborates with various galleries on limited screen-prints for various exhibitions, gig posters and events around the globe.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Let\u2019s get the generic question out of the way \u2013 tell us, what are your main influences for your art? How would you describe your art style?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Growing up I was (and still am) a big fan of heavy metal music and a lot of the art that went alongside that. Whether it be album covers, t-shirts, going to shows and just the whole alternative scene in general. I\u2019m sure that sank in from a very young age and came out later through my work. Outside of that, I read comics like 2000 AD. I was lucky enough to work for 2000 AD as a graphic designer for around 9 years. I still continue to work with them as a freelancer on the odd piece of cover art which is great. I also attempted skateboarding, played guitar in bands \u2013 which I did for many years then decided to later focus on my art full time. I\u2019m sure all of this has influenced everything I do in some way.<\/p>\n<p>With regards to \u2018art style\u2019 \u2013 this is something that has organically evolved over years of experimenting and trying different things. I feel it has a graphic detailed feel to it. I tend to work mostly with the screen-print medium in mind. I do a lot of gig posters and t-shirts for bands like Metallica, for example. I\u2019m a big fan of the screen-printing process \u2013 which again links back to the art I\u2019ve admired over the years. Whether it be band t-shirts, gig posters or even skateboards \u2013 these tended to be screen-printed. I always loved the way it made the art look. The limited colour palettes. Even the smell of the ink. There\u2019s also something very \u2018garage \/ punk rock\u2019 about that way of doing things\u2026 which I like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you use to work on and is everything hand-drawn? You post a lot of progress videos with a lot of hand-drawing small details!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yep, everything is hand drawn from scratch. All artwork is created using Wacom devices with Adobe Photoshop. I use the Wacom Cintiq Pro 24\u2033 with the Wacom Engine. I also use the Mobile Studio Pro 16\u2033 if I\u2019m on the move. I don\u2019t use any fancy tricks, it\u2019s just lots of drawing with one or two basic brushes in Photoshop. Think about it like I\u2019m using a pen on a digital canvas. This is the closest thing to real drawing but done digitally. Before that I would have inked with bush pens and microns\u2026 which I still enjoy occasionally.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do you listen to anything while you\u2019re working? Anything we should check out?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As much as I\u2019m a metal head I do tend to listen to a mixture of genre\u2019s whilst working. Most stuff tends to be from the 90s because I\u2019m old. But there is some newer stuff in there too\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Massive Attack, DJ Shadow, HEALTH, Run The Jewels, Ice T, Turnstile, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Slipknot, Mastodon, David Bowie, Deftones, Kerbdog, Therapy?, Kid Loco, The XX, This Will Destroy You, The Cinematic Orchestra, Silverchair, Daft Punk, Thrice, Baroness, Sepultura (Chaos AD \/ Arise era) Code Orange, Employed To Serve, Architects, The Cure, Creature, Down, Pantera, Faith No More, Gojira, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Helmet\u2026 I mean I could just keep going. Too many to name.<\/p>\n<p>Love a good Podcast too! I can highly recommend Adam Buxton\u2019s Podcast, The Gallery of Everything, Athletico Mince, Off The Beat &amp; Track with Stu Whiffen and Sappenin\u2019 Podcast with Sean Smith to name a few.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What excites you about working on art for Gears of War?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I mean, I\u2019ve played all the games since day 1. So, for me personally it\u2019s an absolute honour to create visuals for the franchise. For that reason, I find it extremely exciting working with the team on new artwork.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tell us about the Hydra poster \u2013 what\u2019s going on inside it?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>With previous pieces I\u2019d created individual character Omens which was great but for this one I thought we could go for something that was more \u2018scenic\u2019 or \u2018in scene\u2019. Something that felt more dramatic and told a story. I wanted the Hydra to dominate the composition then below have the COG soldier atop a hill about to meet his end. Then at the bottom of page \/ in the foreground litter fallen soldiers, weapons, skulls and destruction. It was really fun putting this together! I\u2019d say it\u2019s probably my most ambitious piece of Gears artwork to date. It took several months to complete\u2026 I\u2019m pleased with how it came out.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What\u2019s been your favourite Gears project to work on?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Too many to name but if I had to choose it would probably be the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lacedrecords.com\/products\/gears-5-deluxe-double-vinyl\" target=\"_blank\">Gears 5 Soundtrack<\/a> which was released on vinyl through Laced Records. I got to not only do the art for the cover but design the entire package. The graphic designer in me loves taking my illustration and applying it to other things like packaging\/box art. I\u2019m very much into putting my stamp on brands and this was really satisfying to do. Very honoured to have my name alongside the Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi also. It just ticked every box for me creatively.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How long does a piece usually take to complete on average, and are you someone who works on multiple pieces at one time?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A piece can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on feedback from the client. Once my rough concepts are approved though I can probably complete the artwork in around 3 \u2013 4 days. Saying that, it varies from project to project. Yes, I do work on multiple pieces at once. I find it helpful to come away from a piece and go back to it with fresh eyes.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do you play games when you\u2019re not drawing? What games have you been into recently?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I do! I\u2019ve been playing the remastered version of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2, Doom Eternal and Star Wars Squadrons. I also picked up Destiny 2 again recently on Xbox Game Pass. I lost interest in the game for awhile but it\u2019s been fun going back to it again. Lots more content to get my teeth into\u2026 And obviously, I play Gears! Although, I\u2019m terrible at multiplayer.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Who do you idolize in the art world? Who would be a dream mentor?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I tend to idolize more musicians than I do artists if I\u2019m honest. Mike Patton is up there\u2026 I just think everything that guy does creatively is genius. With regards to artists, Steve Dillon and Jim Phillips are absolute legends.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>It\u2019s been a hard year, how has quarantine \/ COVID-19 impacted your work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Due to the nature of my work, I\u2019ve been able to still work from home. Some jobs have fallen through here and there but that\u2019s completely understandable\u2026 Everything is so up in the air at the moment. I am extremely grateful that I\u2019m able to create and support my family through these tough times. Understandably, a lot of people are in much worse situations than me. I have a lot to be thankful for!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Finally, any advice to any aspiring artists out there?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s art or music or whatever your passion is \u2013 just keep plugging away. Practice, practice, practice. Talk to people, seek advice. Don\u2019t be afraid to fail because I did. LOTS! You\u2019ve got to pick yourself back up and just keep going. Nothing happens overnight. Maybe, look to get your work in galleries as well\u2026 It\u2019s great having an online presence too. Although, I sometimes think because of social media, we live in a world where people want that \u2018quick success\u2019 without any of the hard work that goes with it. I\u2019ve been grafting for over 20 years and I\u2019ve still got lots more things I want to do creatively. If you\u2019re passionate about what you do then that\u2019s the main thing. People will notice that passion and who know it might lead on to an exciting project. That\u2019s what happened to me when the Gears team at Microsoft approached me\u2026 Also, try and find your own voice. Taking inspiration from others is fine but try and turn into your own thing. It\u2019s an organic process of creating over a long period of time and if something comes out of that is unique to you then own it and make it yours. The possibilities are endless. Most importantly \u2013 HAVE FUN DOING IT!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-1.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-1.jpg 773w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-4.jpg 227w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-5.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-6.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-7.jpg 1546w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-8.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-9.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-10.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-11.jpg 1920w\" width=\"773\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster-1.jpg\" alt=\"Gears Tactics Reaver Poster designed by Luke Preece\" class=\"image-swap wp-image-12339 jss184 jss187 undefined\"><\/picture><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The special edition Hydra poster is now available for pre-order on the <a href=\"https:\/\/xboxgearshop.com\/products\/gears-tactics-x-luke-preece-hydra-poster\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/xboxgearshop.com\/products\/gears-tactics-x-luke-preece-hydra-poster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Xbox Gear Store<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>You can see more of Luke\u2019s artwork on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lukepreece.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a> and follow him on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lukepreeceart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/2020\/11\/06\/meet-luke-preece-the-man-behind-the-new-gears-tactics-poster\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABOUT Luke Preece is an illustrator based in the West Midlands in the United Kingdom.
