Graphic Novel Learning Experience #3: Mr Stitch

This is a character from a crazy short story idea I had about a cosmetics testing facility hidden in the jungles of South America where a crazy doctor under the employment of Millennium Cosmetics Corporation performs unethical test of new cosmetic products on volunteer tests patients who believe they will be paid and given free cosmetic care.  Patient 932, however, escapes and goes around jumping on people and hyper extending their necks.

The story, I realize, is a stupid version of a very common storyline.  Before I lose all creative credibility in the reader’s opinion, please note that this stereotypical nature is indeed what I intended to achieve.

Now that you’ve bored yourself by reading that, here are the drawings.

Last night I was practicing with my tiny little Wacom tablet & these were the result.  Believe it or not, this started out as me trying to copy some concept art of a giant spherical city from Guild Wars 2.  Evidently about halfway through my inspiration changed directions.  Personally, my favorite is the last iteration.

This one is very small and didn’t take much time, but it’s the result of me trying to get the hang of facial design.  I think she looks a bit like agent Sully from the X-Files when she’s wearing glasses.

Graphic Novel Learning Experience: #1

I’ve been really wanting to know how to draw in a graphic novel style lately, so I’ve been doing some exercises.  The following images are steps from my process as it is in its current undeveloped state.  The idea for the content of the image came from another guy’s graphic novel (http://www.sarafinconcepts.com/graphic-novel.html).

I realize that this isn’t very good, but it’s my first ever try at something like this.  I plan to start trying to figure out textures and other ways of coloring in Photoshop later.  If anybody viewing this has any suggestions I’d be grateful.
