This month's Sketch Dump

A quick little art dump post to let you know that I'm still chugging away on this project, I've just switched gears more towards writing and making sure that my style is a bit more consistent before moving to pages. Delays seem bad, but I'm spending time in planning to make this the best I can make it.

Rowen Pose Expression Exercise

Here is a pose expression meme that I got from deviantart. I figured it would be an excellent exercise in getting to know my characters. For sake of speed I think Rowen will be the only character receiving the full treatment before diving into pages, but I will definitely be doing work on everyone else here and there. Be they scribbly napkin drawings or something I can actually post...

If Blogger is really scrunching up the image check it here on deviantart

Next up is Captain Giraud then General Brea (aka Mom). Most updates should occur on or around weekends, when I have the time to finish up pieces and post.

Motor City Comic Con

Lotus Emblem was at Motor City Comic Con this weekend! Check out some of the sketches from the con at my art blog:

Rowen Model Sheet

Here is the character model sheet for Rowen, the leading lady of my comic Lotus Emblem. The books themselves are still in pre-production, as I continue to get all of my characters designed and ready, but pages should start coming early this summer! You can also follow the comic's progress at the Lotus Emblem Tumblr account. Feedback is always appreciated!
