Mustachio Strife Color Test

Here’s the color version of that last Mustachio sketch. I’m pretty sure I’ll use this style for any prints I make because I like the way the rough pencil contrasts with the smooth coloring. The original pencil art also looks really nice. I also want to try out Painter sometime soon to see how that compares. Next time I’ll draw him atop his awesome motorcycle, or perhaps battling some sort of long haired dinosaur guy.

Finally, a Bleached Blond Mustachio

He’s got amnesia and a mysterious past, and I’m not sure what power his sword is set up with. A pencil test for a color version. I’m going to get some practice in before I do the next comic cover, whic will be in a similar pencils-with-color style. FF7pencilTest

Mustachio Commando

A quick sketch for a more elaborate drawing I’ve got planned out. The next version will incorporate soldiers underneath, and some sort of menacing figure looming in the background.

Deathbar Color test

I finished up the comic last week so I spent the weekend playing around in photoshop a bit. Here I was trying to see how some of the effects I’d been using in gray scale might translate to color. I think it turned out well. I’m still figuring out the best ways to add in texture to the color.

And here’s a closeup. I’m particularly happy with the way the gritty armor texture turned out.

Starcraft Characters

Here’s some sketches I did to try and line up some work on a Starcraft anthology. The editor really liked them, so hopefully the project will work out with my upcoming comic schedule. I think it will get my art in fronmt of a lot more people than my previous books.
