[SKETCHBOOK] Wraith

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

So here’s a new sketch for all you. This one was a lot of fun. The idea just popped into my head the other night and I just hast to put it to paper. So before I hit the sequentials, I started this sketch and finished it up today.

Enjoy.

[SKETCHBOOK] Flamethrower

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

Well this one was a tough one to get sketched out for some reason. Erased most of it a few times. I had to really force my way through it. Well it’s done (for the most part) and there are a few things still kind of “off” to me, but I can live with it. I also kind of changed up her costume a bit too.

Enjoy.

Glyph and Switchboard

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Two more great character sketches from Jason.

What do these two have in common?

Switchboard is a third (or possibly more) generation superhero. She never liked the way that her dad and grandfather spent their lives, but more than that, she dated the way their failures haunted them.

When that heroic mantle was passed on to her, she took it up with the purpose of making sure that other heroes would not make the same mistakes her family had.

Glyph is a student, and player, of magic. He sees, uses, and explores the rhythms and patterns of energy which are all around him. For him it is all about exploration and discovery. And, as this picture indicates, occasionally kicking some ass.

So, what do they have in common? Sensitivity to energy flow? Following their own path in the world? Supporting other heroes? Yeah. But mostly they just seem to me like they would get along really well.

They’re friends.

[SKETCHBOOK] Glyph

Another character I haven’t drawn in a while, Glyph. This time I decided to show a different “side” of Glyph, the martial arts side.

Enjoy.

Hector

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

Micah, Jason, and I have been talking recently about which Rapid City characters could be spun into their own stories and books. I am proud to say that almost every character who is present enough to have a look and a name also has enough dimension and depth that they could hold up in at least one story of their own.

Hector is like that. Especially with the back story we have worked out for him. How much continued interest could we sustain, though, in a character who earns his living by beating up superheroes and supervillains? That’s his thing, that is what he does.

With his elite commando training, he sees superpowers as liabilities rather than assets. To him, every ability is matched by a vulnerability.

He is probably the character I would least like to meet and speak to in real life, but one of the most fun to write.

I am already looking forward to figuring out where he is going to wind up after our first few Rapid City stories have run their course.
