Got a copy of an upcoming Starcraft HC collection, the other day, and it reminded me I hadn't posted these yet.
As requested in the Comments section, here are a couple more concept sketches I did for a Starcraft comic.
Note, however, when it's related to a project, I will typically only post stuff that has either A) already been published or B) has been outright rejected or C) was just something I was doodling around with when I was coming up with ideas and doesn't give anything away ahead of time.
In this case, this is the original page from my sketchbook of Nuura, that was used in the published preview that is already floating around the internet.
The ship was an earlier version that I was dinking around with. When I was working on it, somebody had asked for "something like Serenity" and this was deemed "too much like Serenity". I think it must've been the rotating thruster things on sides. I think they're pretty cool, in general, but they certainly aren't exclusive to the ship in Firefly, as I think you can see similar design elements in Star Wars, Bladerunner and various other sci-fi. Either way, I guess ya gotta start somewhere.
As I think I mentioned in an earlier post, they opted for another direction with the book and the original creative team is no longer involved, but down the road, when the new book does hit stands, I'll post more of the art that I did when I was on the project. I've seen colored versions of some covers and pinups that I drew that I thought turned out pretty sweet, so I'd think you might be seeing some solicits before too long.
As is usually the case, I can't really talk about (or post work from) stuff I'm working on until it's announced. As a result, there hasn't been much posting around here.
However, here are a couple sketches from something that had been in the works since around March and was announced, but I've since been informed that the licensor has decided to go a different direction with the art (and writing).
I've got some covers, pin-up stuff, and some interiors that all turned out pretty cool and I'll post, down the road, after they are solicited, etc...
These sketches were my designs, published in a preview comic, awhile back. Actually, I think the ship sketch was just outright rejected, but the dude with the scars was in there.
For those of you who've put up with my vague answers when you've asked what I'm working on, here's something that I see hit a few messageboards over the weekend.
From Blizzcon '08.
And another shot of the "goodie bag".
I see a large number of these goodie bags are on ebay already.
Doing some housekeeping on my harddrives and found these pages from a "project that almost was". These are the first six pages I drew for the WildStorm "Starcraft" series written by Keith Giffen and inked by Doug Mahnke, before we were all removed from the book, for whatever reason. I don't know why I only have the three scans of the black and white art, so I've included some of color previews that I had. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have any record of who did the colors. :(
