What's Going On Out There?

Concept Thursday Strikes Back

Apologies are not always the best thing to read when expecting updates, however there are plans to move everything to a new website, with a new layout and everything soon. Sorry for another delay.

This week's concept sketch is the actual first draft of the 10th page. This page will have the background form the negative space for the first few panels, and continue with the short intro chapter of the story (Currently there are 3 written/outlined chapters and we are currently in the prologue). Very simple figures form the essential skeleton of the comic.

This scene plays a very important role in the next chapter and is known to the natives of this current planet as "The World Pitcher" Lots of experimenting with simple cool color pallets and LOADS of sponge-brush at different opacities. I wanted it to feel very open yet secret, secluded and with an aura of unknown power or importance. It is a concept sketch, so once the actual scene appears it may seem quite different once our main protagonist sets foot upon these hallowed grounds.

Again?

Concept Thursday!

I've been getting accustomed with my new computer and making the switch to Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop CS (wow). So there may be a learning curve of me trying to get back into a certain style.

However I don't like the idea of being absent for 2 weeks,, so here's some concept art of the interior of the ship as well as a nifty test of my new tablet with a gun that will probably never show up in the comic.

Rather than having a flame thrower, I've planned a gun to spray liquid nitrogen to grab fast samples of organic material or be used as a weapon of sorts.

Two handed guns are interesting to draw using reference, even more so when designing simple future tech. Next week should be a real update, hopefully. ;\
