...And MORE SKETCHES!?

 

I think it's some kind of strange tradition that I have to draw the main characters hanging out together in  a grassy field some where.  Here is the one for Silver.  I plan on coloring this one day.  I say that a lot.

This is for my brother's story, "The Bringer of Darkness."  I know I gotta fix the dog.  I am aware that this will require some reference material.

Here's something no one knows anything about: "The Chains of Destiny."  It's a novel I have been writing, yes WRITING not DRAWING, about a girl who finds her way to a mysterious world filled with strange customs and people with wings.  I swear it isn't like Escaflowne, even though it... totally... sounds like it.  >_<

This is that girl I was talking about.  She's rich, spoiled and useless.  This is one of the first female characters that I've created that I actually seem to hate.  I guess that can sometimes be a good thing.  She's one of those heroins that grows as the journey progresses too, so I suppose things aren't all that bad.

 

I wonder if anyone remembers this guy?  Yeah, it's Noah.  He's ooooold.  I made him back when I originally wrote Black Heart as a vampire comic.  He was Aidan's big brother who was a horrible influence.  I decided to try to draw him from memory and I think I did pretty good, considering it's been like 5-6 years.  Looking back, I noticed that he was an interesting character, probably more so than Blaine or Aidan even.  Basically, he's a big "screw you" to all other vampires (especially Twilight ones) because he just doesn't give a sh*t about killing people or being noticed or whatever.  He's not cursed-- he's just havin' a good time for all eternity!  That and he smokes.  Why?  Oral fixation.  It's a common problem for the blood suckers.  :P

Hi-yo, Silver! Away!

All right!  I'm finally working on this comic (first 8 pages roughly penciled) and I'm proud to present the final character designs!  The full-body shots are the ones I ended up going with.  The busts were my first attempts to redesign them.  Needless to say, I made a couple of tweaks here and there until FINALLY (after how many years?) I got them the way I want 'em... I think.

  

The ones below are the busts I mentioned earlier.  They aren't drawn particularly well, but they are still improvements of the ones I drew all of those years ago.

...And I'll just end it there with this picture of ye ol' medicine woman.  She wasn't important enough to get a full-body shot, but I wanted to draw her at least once so I'd know what I was in for later.

The Bringer of Darkness

Over the last couple of days, I realized that this place is called a "sketch blog."  Then I realized that I had all of these... well... SKETCHES that were just sitting around and I decided it was time to get 'em up here.  Next couple of posts are gonna be BIG.

  So this is Romeo.  He is the main character in my brother's latest story.

 

Another angle of Romeo.  He is actually sharing his body with a demon who has been lending him his eyes and immortality for the last couple of hundred years.  The demon can communicate with Romeo inside of his head, but since only Romeo can hear it, his sometimes one-sided conversation keeps people wondering about his sanity.

This is Eve.  She is a princess who has visions of the future in her dreams.  When she saw the man with the demon eyes save her kingdom, she became fascinated with him and ran away from the castle, disguising herself as a boy in hopes that no one would notice her.

Now this is my own character that I have kind of... worked into the story.  He's Kaleb, the son of the Captain of the Guard and Eve's lifelong friend.  At the beginning of the story, Kaleb has an encounter with Sable who transforms him in to a dog.

This is Skye, the dog version of Kaleb.  No one realizes that Kaleb was turned into a dog except Romeo who can use his demon eyes to see that he is actually a person.

 

Cornelia: Captain of the Guard.  Both she and her son, Kaleb, are great warriors who serve the royal family.  She is the only one who knows about Eve's decision to leave.

 

This guy is named Yore.  Little is really known (or written) about him yet.  All we really know is that he has a demon ability similar to Romeo's and that he will possibly play a key role in the end of the world.

 

Sable is an elf who is capable of magic.  She, too, may have a demon of some sort, but, again, we haven't quite polished the story behind all of this yet.  Oh, yeah--and she's the gal that turns Kaleb into a dog.

This is the end boss named Cedric.  He has a very powerful demon at his command who gives him incredible strength, yet he still feels threatened by all of the other demons and their masters.  He has a fetish for power and, like most bad guys, has some overwhelming desire to take over the world... or at the very least destroy it.
