Fantastic Four: Prelims

 Some time ago I did a one-off issue for Marvel that featured the Fantastic Four. Pretty much an ideal gig for me. Super-heroes in space. Anyhow I just found these pre-lims in a reference folder that I hadn't bound into a sketchbook yet. I was trying to get my hand in the game for tackling these characters. Like anything, having one pass at it just isn't enough.

 I would have liked to had more time with them to really "own" them. But alas it was never to be again.

Trying some new brushes. This is another elaborate sketch.

Final Rough To Infinity

Pretty much there as far as a final rough goes. Sadly I can see the life being squeezed out of it so transferring is going to be a crucial thing. I'll probably redraw this completely from the ground up to keep it fresh. The one drawback is falling in love with a gesture or detail that almost seems impossible to reproduce.

Guess we'll have to see about that.

While this may be the final rough I think it'll be crucial to still make choices in the final drawing to keep it fresh for me. Sometimes though going off the map puts me in places I don't want to go.

Collaboration Station

 Working on thumbnails for a collaboration I'm hoping to do soon with one of my favorite inkers. Can you guess who? This one is gonna be at least 22" x 30". We'll see...it might just scare him off. :)

A commission that I just finished. May do more like this which is a first for me.
