Aliens

Having a hard time not making the alien species for "Stars" not look like the Navii from Avatar.  But I think I've found a unique enough look.  Plus slap a bunch of space gear on them and I think people won't get them confused.  At least especially if they don't get colored blue.

I need to also figure out how the females should look too, I'm not quite sure the best way to make them different then the males.  But that's what's sketching for anyways!  More characters to go!

Doodles

I've started piddling a bit with character designs yesterday.  The main character Tyras' first design has been finished and sent to the brains for approval.  I hope it works on go number one, but there's never a problem redesigning anything really at this stage.  I've got some other work going on at the moment but I suspect there shall be many a thing drawn this weekend when I have some days off. 

It shall be exciting!

Egads! A webcomic?!

Indeed.  Networking shows up in unexpected places sometimes, and I had the luck of running into an Ian Mullins.  This Ian Mullins had a fascinating idea in his head of starting a webcomic venture and is crazy enough to be the brains behind the operation for the most part.  So hey, sounds good to me!  I just draw stuff, that's what I do best.

It's going to be a co-illustrated book, which is something I've never done before, so we'll see how that works out ha ha.  It's a sci-fi adventure that will hearken back to the bygone days of decent sci-fi like Star Wars and other fantastic works I'm not as familiar with.

I can't divulge too much about it at the moment, but I will start doing some work on concepts as soon as I can.  I've got a good feeling about it.  And at the very least I'll have some fun with it!  And art for me has always been fun.

I should be updating regularly on this here on the blog.  I wasn't using it for much else till now anyways, which is why basically all the posts have been deleted.  I might add in a few non-story related stuff, but I'm afraid I'll be laser whipped if I do it too much.

Happy sketching!
