Character Design Commission

This is a commission for a character design for my buddy Scott. He and I go way back to the hay stacks. I was actually his penciller on a self published indie comic called Realm Quest and boy was that a learning experience. It took me three years to get that issue finished (yikes) but it came out pretty decent. My brother, Billy Merryman ([link]), did ink duties and Wil Quintana colored. I think you can still by copies at [link] if you're interested. Nothing major but you might like it. Well thats enough plugging old stuff.

Some proces talk:
Time was tight on this one so, as you can see, I used some photographic material since I needed to use a specific landmark in Russia. I also used a variety of brushes to try and get a more even language through out the image (mainly so there wouldn't be too stark a contrast between the different imagery and thus distracting the average viewer). I had to pull this off rather quickly and this was going to mainly be used for pitching an idea so I think it still came out pretty good for it's intended purpose.

Time is money so I use what I need to use to get the project done and move on to the next one. I have a couple more commissions in the cooker but I need to make room for more.

I wish i could talk more about this item but it's still in development so with that... i'm going to sleep...enjoy!
