rough sketch to cover for #8
Not sure why the cover to KOTOR # 8 isn't up at the Dark Horse site yet. But here is the very rough initial sketch for it. I'll put up the rough pencils for it in a couple of days.
Mando(s) in hand-to-hand combat? The one on the right pretty clearly is a Mandalorian...not so sure about the figure on the left, although he's got a lot of kit on his belt. Interesting! I love watching concepts develop through to finished art. Thanks for posting the preview!
Maybe someday, I think most guys want to try their hand at Batman or Spider-Man or one of those big icons at some point in their careers. But Dark Horse is such a great place to be-- they really go out of their way to take care of the artists. And like you said, I love being on KOTOR!
The figure on the left is... umm... Sketch-Man. Yeah, that's it.
I'd say that these things are hidden because we're playing it close to the vest -- like not letting people know that Zayne survived issue #6 -- but like Brian, I really don't know. I do know the finished cover is great, though...
Oooh. Sketch-Man. Now you've done it. And thus, a whole new genre of fan-fiction is born, fleshing out the life-story of the mysterious and ill-known Sketch-Man character. Message boards blossom to 42 pages of ret-conning to accomodate Sketch-Man. Costumers attempt to get all details correct and construct elaborate masquerade skits around the character's putative backstory. I can see it now...
Err, sorry. Got carried away for a moment. :)
Looking forward to seeing the finished cover, of course.

I live in Southern California where it's 90 degrees in the Summer and 70 degrees in the Winter and yet I still find ways to complain.

Brian, I know that you love being the artist on kotor, but do you think you will ever do comics for Marvel or DC?

Carolyn,
Yup, it's a Mando on the right. Can't say who's on the left yet though :)
