Closer to Angelborn Post Comics Forum

So, yesterday I spent the day in the MSU Comics Forum Artist's Alley.  Now I deliberately did not bring my computer in a serious attempt to spend some time with my Angelborn characters and push them forward.  As a result, I have a ton of new sketches posted today (and I don't desire to spam with separate blog entries at this point.

I'm pretty pleased with how Gavin has evolved now.  I need the rest of the cast to follow suit, organize more of the initial plot and I'll be ready to start drafting some scripts and pages.  I'm excited to finally feel like I've developed my art enough to do this story justice.  Now if only I don't gag at it a year from now.  I'm thinking of getting my feet wet with some character vignettes.

Anyways, new art:


Wild Ride:
This is a rough sketch of the abdal and James.  I might come back to this and add some scenery around it.  This was shared in a previous blog entry.

Evolving Gavin's Design:
My first sketch approaching Gavin from a new style.  Meant to resemble his father younger (with straight messy hair). This was shared in a previous blog entry.


Young James Character Sheet by ~novemberkris on deviantART
Young James Character Sheet: 
Gavin's father (long before Gavin was born), back at the beginning of Angelborn got a fresh design.  The essence of him is still there, he just now features a nose and more sculpted features.  This was created in prep for the forum.


Quenby Redesigned by ~novemberkris on deviantART
Quenby Redesigned:
Quenby Andries finally stopped giving me a hard time and submitted to some line art.  Emotionless "super" soliders just like to be difficult.  This was created in prep for the forum.


Adbal Character Design by ~novemberkris on deviantART
Abdal Character Design:
Still unnamed, the abdal that keeps James company is coming along feature wise.  This was created at the MSU Comics Forum.


Gavin on a Sidewalk by ~novemberkris on deviantART
Gavin on a Sidewalk:  
My favorite drawing of the day--it really captures the design I've moved Gavin to.  This was created at the MSU Comics Forum.

Gavin Reaching and Falling:   
A rough drawing of Gavin.  This was created at the MSU Comics Forum.


Not so Sammael by ~novemberkris on deviantART

Not So Sammael: 
Not so great attempt at reinventing Sammael.  Good villains are hard to design.  This was created at the MSU Comics Forum.
