Heh... i thought you guys might appreciate this. It's just a work-in-progress of course. I still have to finish all the detail and background and then start on the coloring. It'll probably take me another week or so...

Here's a link to a much larger version of the pic...

Here's a finished charachter design. I call this guy Katakis - after an old game named after an old metal musician. I try to go for a 90's comic book style with my stuff. I always loved using halftone for shading.

sir, you must pardon my use of 1337 to describe this, but Abodox the demon kicks serious 4$$. It's make me thing of some sort of invisible horror that can only be seen with an infrared scope. Imagine a survival horror point an click with that theme. I'll be scared silly.

I wish I could draw as well as you. I need to practice more, perhaps take an art class...do you take an art class or did you learn all on your own?

I believe that that officially qualifies as the best compliment my art has ever recieved.

do you take an art class or did you learn all on your own?

I started collecting comics when i was six (in 1987) beginning with a Silvestri issue of Uncanny X-Men i found in a KB Toy store. That comic changed my life with its sex and violence. I decided at that moment that i wanted to grow up to become a comic book artist. Well - i haven't ever published anything yet (neither have i grown-up lol) but i still make comics all the time. I never took a real class - like with the guitar - i've just been teaching myself by copying techniques other people do that i like.

I love the design of it's head - the first pic, that is. I think i once saw this Pioneer Audio commercial on tv and there was an alien in it with a 'T' shaped head. I remember it looked really unsettling to me and so i tried to think up a design similar to that (except without the cheesy space-suit and cloak and such). I couldn't ever get it quite right until now. I played Alien Crush i think and that's when it hit me. That wierd alien head on the first board inspired this a bit.
