A sheet of A3 tracing paper of the original preliminary cutaway artwork depicting the iconic Armoured Personnel Carrier vehicle from James Cameron's 1986 masterpiece Aliens. Drawn by by John R. Mullaney in 2014.Commissioned by Insight Editions and 20th Century Fox Studios, the artwork formed a crucial stage of the approval process between studio and artist for the eventual art's publication in the high-end collectible title Alien : The Weyland-Yutani Report. Hand-drawn by John, the original artwork was approved by the studio and publisher as well as by a project Brain Trust of franchise consultants, comprising of prominent collectors, archivists and enthusiasts from the fan community. The artwork is as screen-accurate as available reference allowed, with the artist piecing together all the details using rare on-set production photography and film-stills to ensure a definitively canon reproduction of the vehicle's layout. The artwork evolved over an extensive series of approval versions, as John worked closely with project collaborator and 2D artist Graham J. Langridge to hone the detail. The artwork was then reproduced at large format size and carefully traced to form the set-up for the final full colour artwork which appears on pages 114-115 of The Weyland-Yutani Report.The artwork's evolution can be seen in a special making-of film produced by the artist who is also an award-winning film-maker. The time-lapse film has currently received over 60,000 views on Youtube, and continues to wow fans and viewersAbout the ProjectOf all the franchises John has been commissioned to illustrate, the Alien franchise remains his most personally beloved. Between 2005 and 2006 John created his self-initiated cutaway art of the Colonial Marines Dropship from the 1986 sequel as a proof of concept for an entire book of cutaways depicting the iconic craft and locations from the franchise. The artwork became a limited edition collectible produced by Acme Archives and rapidly sold out. In 2014 he was commissioned by Insight Editions to paint a cutaway of Aliens' APC which appeared alongside the Dropship art and 8 other new artworks of hardware from the franchise in high end collectible Alien: The Weyland-Yutani Report. The making-of film APC Cutaway : Special Edition which John created to promote his work in Insight's publication, continues to wow viewers seven+ years after its release amassing over 60,000 views on Youtube. Both the Dropship and APC cutaway originals artworks sold to a private collector. In 2018 John was commissioned to produce six new colour 2D artworks of craft from the series for Free League's Alien Role Playing Game title, with each piece rendered using the same intricate techniques as for his 3D cutaway work. Valuation note: the full colour artwork later sold to a private collector for £3,500.

Mullaney has over two decades experience producing beautifully detailed sci-fi cutaway art for publications licensed by major film studio properties. His career in studio-licensed sci-fi cutaway art began in 1999 when he was recommended by the Society of Architectural Illustration to Dorling Kindersley who were looking for an additional illustrator for their Star Wars Incredible Cross Sections series of publications. Following an extensive audition process, John secured the position and subsequently illustrated multiple iconic locations and ships from the franchise. In addition to his work with Lucasfilm, John has gone on to be commissioned by many other major studios such as 20th Century Fox, Pixar, Universal Studios, 343 Industries, the BBC and Games Workshop. As well as Star Wars, he has produced art for Alien, Batman, Halo, Firefly/Serenity, Doctor Who, Wall-E and Warhammer/40K. Published by DK, Lucasbooks, Insight Editions, Egmont, Titan and Free League, John ensures his artworks are as screen-accurate as the reference allows, working not just from film-stills but from production blueprints & digital models, on-set photography and archive imagery of original miniatures.Each unique large format piece has a production time running into hundreds of hours, using a process of carefully applied multiple watercolour layers, to achieve a complex and nuanced richness of colour, tone and texture. Measuring up to 76x55cm these intricately detailed large format pencil, watercolour, ink & gouache pieces on 300gm watercolour paper, pack a huge visual punch. Alongside these are the preliminary artworks for most cutaways. These pencil artworks are all created on A3 tracing paper and form the basis for the full colour artworks - the majority are as detailed as the size of paper allows before they are enlarged and traced. In a world of predominantly digital art, John's original paintings of iconic vehicles and locations from world famous science fiction properties have become much sought-after unique investment pieces for pop culture collectors, film enthusiasts and corporate buyers.

A sheet of 300gm watercolour paper of the original artwork produced by John R. Mullaney depicting the iconic USCMC Cheyenne Dropship from James Cameron's 1986 feature Aliens. Painted by John R. Mullaney in 2019. Paper measures 50 x 18,5cm.The art was commissioned by Free League Publishing and 20th Century Fox Studios as one of six new 2D vehicle artworks to appear in the 2019 title ALIEN : The Role Playing Game. The painting is as screen-accurate as available reference allowed, with the artist using rare on-set production photography and film-stills to ensure a faithful reproduction of the vehicle's exterior. Hand drawn and painted using multiple layers of watercolour washes, the original artwork was approved by the studio and publisher. The ship's decals and liverie were added digitally for greater accuracy and flexibility, but the artist has subsequently added these details by hand to enhance the original painting. The artwork appears on pages 144-145 of Free League's acclaimed RPG publication (see images, book not included in lot).About The ProjectOf all the franchises John has been commissioned to illustrate, the Alien franchise remains his most personally beloved.

A sheet of A4 tracing paper of the original preliminary cutaway artwork produced by John R. Mullaney depicting the iconic Pulse Rifle from James Cameron's 1986 masterpiece Aliens. Drawn by John R. Mullaney in 2013. Page measures 35 x 21cm.This concept art was used to convey art direction given to ILM artist Drew Pace as a mock-up for a digital cutaway artwork of the weapon for a proposed in-universe publication called The Weyland-Yutani Files. Conceived by John and the Alien Brain Trust between 2012 and 2013, the project was ultimately surpassed by Insight Editions' The Weyland- Yutani Report - licensed by 20th Century Fox Film Corporation – for which John was chosen by Fox as one of the two illustrators.When planning the content for this title, the Pulse Rifle artwork was used as a proof of concept for weapons cutaways but ultimately the publisher did not have the budget for this and a full-colour non-cutaway artwork of the iconic weapon was instead produced. Working from photos provided by the Harry Harris collection, John's final colour artwork of the Pulse Rifle appears on pages 104-105 of The Weyland-Yutani Report (see lot images, book not included in lot).About The ProjectOf all the franchises John has been commissioned to illustrate, the Alien franchise remains his most personally beloved.

Lot 207
A sheet of 300gm watercolour paper containing the original watercolour, gouache and ink character art composited into the cutaway of 'The Night Buzzard' as featured in Star Wars Episode IX Rise of Skywalker for Dorling Kindersley's (see images, book not included in lot) . Painted by John R. Mullaney in 2020. Measures 9 x 33,5cm. The three characters were hand drawn and painted at a larger scale than the cutaway itself (see lot 205) to allow for more detail and flexibility of positioning before they were digitally composited into the eventual piece. Reference photography of each character was provided by Lucasfilm and this was used to ensure screen-accuracy. Two of the characters would be composited into the artwork as gunners manning the ship's weapon meaning it wasn't necessary to paint the full extent of their character. Consideration needed to be given to each character's colouring to ensure it matched the lighting of the main cutaway and the relative position in which each character would be located. The artwork appears on pages 252-3 of DK's 2020 title Star Wars Complete Vehicles Incredible Cross-Sections. It remains the only canon depiction within the Star Wars universe of the entire vehicle interior used by the sequel trilogy's primary adversaryAbout The ProjectIn 1999 John was approached by Dorling Kindersley and Lucasbooks to be the third illustrator on their world-famous Star Wars Incredible Cross Section series. Since then he has had his meticulously detailed work published in many of the series’ titles including the Night Buzzard most recently commissioned & published in 2020. Thanks to a close working relationship with Lucasfilm’s archive and art departments, each image is extensively researched for accuracy and based on exclusive access to behind the scenes reference material. The pieces John completed in the early two thousands were approved by George Lucas, whilst approvals for more recent commissions have been overseen and rubber-stamped by Pablo Hidalgo - the head of Lucasfilm’s story group.

A sheet of A3 tracing paper containing the original high detail preliminary for the cutaway artwork of Truth and Reconciliation as featured in Halo Warfleet – An illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo (see images, book not included) licensed by 343 Industries and published by Egmont. Drawn by John R. Mullaney in 2016. Measures 42 x 25cm.This detailed artwork underwent extensive discussion as most of the internal elements had yet to be seen within the Halo universe, with just the Hangar seen in gameplay. A notable detail from gameplay present within the preliminary which did not make it into the final colour artwork is the bridge, the position of which proved too elusive for 343 to definitely locate within the ship. More than just a preliminary, this artwork acted as a high-detail blueprint for the final artwork, precise as the scale allows. Once approved, the artwork was then reproduced at large format size and carefully traced with a lightbox onto watercolour paper to form the set-up for the final full colour artwork. The eventual artwork which was set-up using this preliminary art appears on pages 62-63 of Halo Warfleet – An illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo.About The ProjectIn 2016 John was approached by illustrator Hans Jenssen asking if he would like to collaborate on a Halo cutaways project on which he was already working. This was a huge deal for John – given that just under two decades earlier John had begun his career in architectural illustration by forensically studying Hans' and Richard Chasemore's work in DK's first Star Wars Incredible Cross Sections title. Aspiring to one day work on these famous titles – which he did in 2001 – John has ever since based a great deal of his cutaway technique on Hans' work. Published by Egmont, licensed by the team at 343 Industries, and overseen by lead-writer of the Halo Universe Kenneth Peters, the book project saw Hans produce artworks of all the human-built ships in the book whilst John depicted the Covenant fleet. These ships’ organic curves and unusual design represented a departure from the more utilitarian designs seen in Star Wars and Alien, as well as an opportunity to apply new digital techniques to the hand painted artworks.

A sheet of A3 tracing paper containing the original high detail preliminary for the cutaway artwork of High Charity as featured in Halo Warfleet – An illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo (see images, book not include) licensed by 343 Industries and published by Egmont. Painted by John R. Mullaney in 2017.Measures 29 x 34cmThe interior of this vast entity had never been seen before within the Halo universe, so the authors and illustrator spent significant time and effort establishing the internal layout and structure. The artwork evolved over multiple iterations with the artist setting up some of the geometry using 3D modelling, before transferring approved geometry to the high detail hand-drawn artwork which was then scaled up to form the basis for the full-size artwork. More than just a preliminary, this artwork acted as a high-detail blueprint for the final artwork, precise as the scale allows. Once approved, the artwork was then reproduced at large format size and carefully traced with a lightbox onto watercolour paper to form the set-up for the final full colour artwork.
