xtinction agenda - final stretch

final graytones.  going to plug this fucker in gimp & see if i can turn it into colour, now

that'll do, pig, that'll do...

the typographical agenda: mea culpa, maxima typos

like how i keep forgetting xtinction agenda doesn't start with an "e"

 

anyway getting it laid out at last

logo bullshit for a buddy

 

roughed concept sketch & test logo

getting there.  having some hand trouble so none of the art's turned out these past few days.  but the fresh scar is healing well and i've done a lot of work tidying the studio & fixing up the house.  here's hoping next week everything gets back on track.  my pocketbook needs a stable supply of hours, and last week was all over the place.  out one day for sickness, the business closed the next day because of a broken water main, and the following day i get my scalp split.  something of a financial setback.  onward...!

james knows:  comix is a helmet you commit to.  james KNOWS

a helmet that, when you put it on, you may just neck yourself "--but it's cool"

what better metaphor for comix, than stryfe's galactus dildo helmet?

i ask you.  I ASK YOU

Finalized linework except for the cover.  Still have to revise that.  Starting brush & tones today.

 Landed an interview tomorrow, too.  Good start to a good day.

inking stryfe - 1

 

Taking my sweet time now because I don't want to have to fix any fuckups on Stryfe's preposterous headgear.  Most of this drawing has been an effort to be faithful to the o.g. designs of these stupid-ass latterday x-villains, but on the subject of Stryfe's headdress, I dropped tabs & went off the reservation.

Do believe I've crafted the absolute dopiest version of that iconically idiotic helmet.

There's not much I credit Liefeld with, but when it comes to Stryfe?

He fer shure came up with a thang.
