A character design for a graphic novel

The story part of my friend’s graphic novel is complete so I thought I’d post up a character design I did last week of the protagonist. At her request, I did a rough front pose in colour. Alas, the project has taken another direction and I am no longer a part of the process. C’est la vie.

Mad scientist finished

Well, it’s been a while since my last post but I have a good excuse – honest!  Okay, I should probably resign myself to the fact that I am a lousy blogger.

The hubby and I just bought a home and are selling our old place so understandably our focus has been elsewhere.  While having to leave the house while it’s being shown, I did manage to finish the image below and begin thumbnails for a new commission.  It’s a good thing the client – also my friend – is patient.

Tonkinese study

As I have some upcoming pet portraits to work on, I decided to do a little practice drawing of a Tonkinese cat from photo reference.  My cat happens to be a Tonkinese – wonderful little guy but doesn’t seem to like having his picture taken.  Thank God for the internet and Google!
