Artistic Vision: Bringing Medieval Armor to Cyberpunk in First Legacy

Armored Character Design Sketch

Character Creation Journey: Sketching Supporting Cast for First Legacy

Here’s a character sketch drawing for my upcoming comic project, First Legacy. I’m excited about this comic because I’m writing and illustrating it. Right now, the story is set in a Dark Goth Cyberpunk world. I’m still trying to work that concept together into a story. 

This design is for a supporting character for the main protagonist. I haven’t named him yet, but I know where he’ll fit in the story. He’s wearing medieval armor, which will be interesting to make fit with a cyberpunk future. It’ll make sense in the story, though. He looks a little like talk show host Conan O’Brien; I think it’s the hair. lol.

Fright Night 4th of July Weekend Drawing Jam

The original cult classic Fright Night movie has always been one of my top favorite vampire flicks. So when I heard there was going to be a remake, I was very excited. It turns out the Assistant Prop Master on the film was looking for comic book artists to work on the movie. They were looking for completely original work in the genre of monsters, demons, dark goth, swords/sorcerers, witches, devils, and all things scary. The film director would then review all the submitted samples. Wow, what an opportunity!

Not having a lot of this type of work in my portfolio I decided to do a jam session and create some. The samples need to be received by July 5th. So I spent all day of July 4th penciling and inking several pieces. I created some zombie comic pages and a few monster pinups. ( a Werewolf, Frankenstein type create, and a Vampire.)

To be honest, these weren’t my finest pieces, so I wasn’t overly surprised when I wasn’t chosen for the project. But I had a blast working in a different genre. It’s always good to get out of your comfort zone and explore new territories. It’s also really cool to know that a local comic artist will have his or her stuff in a major motion picture!

Here’s a sampling of the pieces I created in my 4th of July Horror Drawing Jam!
