Gears of War

Here's a piece I did for the Gears of War Sourcebook ( it's out on the stands right now). Click here to see the finished version.

Chantique

Here's my design for Chantique. She came about pretty quickly, as in I didn't struggle too much with her design. Pencil, pen, ink, and Photoshop all by me.

Just curious, what do people think of her name?

more new stuff

Here are the next batch of new characters I am working on. Again, these are very quick and very loose. Maybe less than 30 min to do all three sketches. Quick rough in pencil, then go over it in pen ( I like Uniball Vision .7 gel pen), and do an outline with a sharpie. The outline does a nice job to pull it all together and yet still maintain the spontaneous feel. Still, it's important for me to keep things loose like this so that it's open to little changes and adjustments.

New Characters

I just finished issue #46-- here are some character designs I did for the arc. Quick pencil rough with pen/marker finish. I love working this way-- it has a spontaneity and energy to it that working in pencils only doesn't. I'll have to try drawing an issue like this one day.

I'm officially starting #47 right now :)

Kotor #41

Issue #41 is on the stands now. This is the conclusion of the storyline and introduces our new villain. See the color preview here.

Rogue

Here's a Rogue drawing I originally started as a commission piece. My initial idea was to portray her as soft and a part of nature. I also knew I wanted to have her in the original green and white outfit she first wore way back in 1981. It wasn't quite what the collector was looking for (no problem, it happens some time) so I put it aside and kept it for myself, figuring I would finish it up at some other time.

the many many looks for Zayne Carrick... well, just 3 of them.

One of the challenges of working on the KOTOR series is constantly coming up with new costume designs. Every one needs them-- the main characters have their primary costumes as well as numerous disguises. There seems to be an endless amount of background characters as well, we always seem to have a crowd of people in the background don't we? Well, our main guy, Zayne has had three major costumes and here are my original designs for each one. Interesting to see how he has changed over the months and how my drawing style has changed as well.
