I thought I'd take a crack at Abe Sapien this week, he of Hellboy and B.P.R.D. fame. It's one of the few comic book sandboxes that I'd love to play in, although frankly I think I'd rather just see Guy Davis draw it all.
Exciting update! There's a colour version here for those who may be interested.
The best thing you've done in ages. Fantastic composition, great, simple drawing with just the right amount of line, and a real sense of movement. I find some of your digital stuff, while really-well drawn, tends to get bogged down in all of the new brushes and tones that you employ with manga-studio, and can end up a bit deadened by the process. This is really aces.
This looks absolutely fantastic. One of my favourite pieces on the blog - you've totally excelled yourself.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely man. Great drawing but the composition totally makes it that much better.
ReplyDeleteA great character, and a gorgeous piece.
