Another illustration playing around with the silhouettes.

Silhouettes

A couple of quick silhouette studies of the guys from UXB.

Strong, graphic shapes can help to define a characters persona whilst also lending it's design a certain readability; so that no matter how many extras are surrounding them or how complex the environment gets - they will always stand out. It's a basic visual language.

The problem with UXB was that all three guys have those huge codpiece like devices attached to their bodies and therefore all had a very similar silhouette.

So to help break their design up a bit I gave Das the atypical long coat (similar to Hellboy, Constantine and an endless array of other comic book /film characters )

With Muc I added the poncho which was a rather simple choice as he is a fan of the Spaghetti western and Clint Eastwood.

I could then leave the remaining character 'Rifter' to wander around showing off his ridiculous package as is.

You will notice that Rifter in the third drawing has added a penis like appendage for extra effect...

Hey, I'm just the artist!

I have been working on UXB the past while and getting together the first issue. A few other comic related things came my way since I completed the preview issue and I have been incredibly busy with the day job-

- but it is on its way...

Waited a long time for this:


That's for taking away my morning milk bitch!!!


And you...you muppet!!



My son even created a Neutron Star above his middle finger to celebrate the event(I won't go into the science of how one may create a Neutron Star ... let's just say it takes a great deal of concentration and the summoning of Zeus!)
Thankfully Mother Teresa was looking the other way.

Quote of the day.

My guess is that modern animated movies are the products not of anyone's individual vision, but rather a scattered accumulation of compromises made out of fear by members of large committees.

Awakenings

When I exited the bathroom wearing only a pair of boxers, a tee-shirt that had an EC comics logo and a pair of sandals that I had not yet bothered removing (It had been a sunny day). I had a moment where I thought I resembled how a more contemporary Jesus Christ would look.

I even felt more spiritually aware at that moment; like a load had been lessened.

A pair of sandals and some naked legs will do that for you (Note: you need to see well above the knee, so remove your cargo shorts or other type of clothing for proper effect)
