I’m redesigning Lady Umia from my digital comic project as she was a bit too “action girl” and not enough “Lady”.
To get my brain in gear I’m doing some sketches.
A possible dress:
A potential face and hair style:
Lady Umia Yulon V2 Redesign Part 1
Sylen Benevolen V3 B
Here’s Sylen Benevolen V3 after a couple of hours of digital painting.
His skin tone is bit more grey than purple this time – I like it better.
Also I’ve tried to give his trousers a more Victorian military quality.
Sylen Benevolen Concept V3 A
I’ve started working on version 3 of Captain Sylen Benevolen from my digital comic project.
This is the line drawing. Next I’ll start blocking in the main colours.
Project ADC-1 Comic Book Script V4
This is version 4 of my Project ADC-1 comic book script. I’ve added a bit more dialogue at the beginning in an attempt to reveal more of the storyline early on.
I’ve also tinkered about with the moths. They are no longer flame proof, but they can release a thick smoke-like dust.
Male Figure Studies Part 1
I’m working on improving my male figure art. Here’s a few studies I’ve been working on:
New Link Added: ComixTribe
I’ve just added a link from this site to ComixTribe.
For many months now I have been studying the articles on this site to learn more about creating comics. There is a wealth of information on here for all comics creators.
There is even a section where you can submit your own comic script for a free review by industry professionals. Be warned though, this is not for the faint hearted, these guys don’t sugar coat stuff!
I have even used this service myself for my Project ADC-1 script V3. You can read the review here. It has definitely given me a few pointers for the next draft.
Female Face Digital Painting: Arwen
More female face practice. Here I’ve had a go at painting Arwen from Lord Of The Rings.
Head Construction Sketching Part 2
I’ve been doing some more female head construction training.
Trying different angles:
I like the nose on these ones:
Head Construction Sketches Part 1
I’ve been knuckling down and learning head construction.
They say that one of the best ways to really improve at drawing something is to draw 100 of them.
Well 11 down, 89 to go!
Female Face Digital Painting: Yanadia
I moved on from sketching to a full digital painting.
This has also been an opportunity for me to design another one of my digital comic characters: Yanadia. She doesn’t feature in the current project but will appear in a future instalment.
