From The Files: FAIRCHILD

On deadline today, racing to finish a chunk of my secret project, and working on some samples for yet another potential secret project. So here's another one of my superhero pinup experiments, once again featuring a character from Gen13 -- Fairchild. I was planning on doing all four of the major characters and blending the pinups together into one larger piece, hence the stone background motif in both the pieces I've posted. Again, the MIRROR'S EDGE project came up and I didn't get a chance to finish. Maybe I'll do the other two characters -- Grunge and Freefall -- the next time the need to draw some superheroes comes over me.

From The Files: ZEALOT

One more piece from the photo reference experiments I did while waiting for Mirror's Edge to start up. I was a big fan of Joe Casey and Sean Phillips' run on WILDCATS, so when I started playing with using photos as the basis for a drawing I tried the technique out on a couple of Wildcats characters, including Zealot. It turned out well enough that I posted it in the gallery on my website, along with a Grifter piece done in the same style.

I never did find good photo reference for this background, so I drew it without reference and kept adding shadows until it fit visually with the figure.
