 Markeli Simril ready for action. My initial idea for this character was a cyberpunk version of Medusa. After some sketching and writing I came up with Markeli. An engineer who worked for a weapons manufacturer, she discovered a process that would allow the Earth to become habitable outside the city. The leaders of the city not wanting people to leave there control attempt to kill her in an apparent industrial accident. She survives but loses an arm and an eye in the process, her husband wasn't as lucky.

I'm planning this to be a heist story as she breaks into her old employers offices to retrieve her discovery, evidence of the plot to kill her and to rescue a friend that is being held there against her will.

There's a lot of work to be done still and some of this might change. I'm going for a book that start off kind of depressing but by the end gets more hopeful and optimistic by the end.
Lorin from the comic LOST that I'm working on with my buddy from collage. I'm working on getting some files from my old computer so I decided to do character sheets for the main characters while I figure that out. Like with Markeli I stared out with the morning look because I think that it's a fun way to introduce the character. As you can tell from the large mug of coffee ( black with a lot of sugar ) she is not a morning person. Her hair is dyed blond to help disguise her and it's naturally a very dark brown. She has a number of genetic enhancements most notable are the ears ( enhanced hearing and body heat regulation) and the teeth ( so she will always have a weapon handy ).

Because I'm working on some larger projects I've decided to change my updates to weekly. This will free me up to focus on my longer projects. I'll still post sketches and rough stuff when I have it but other wise I will update on Wednesday.

B.B.King for the Daily Sketch Challenge.

Tried for a more painterly feel rather than my normal comic book style.

Should be back to a normal schedule this week. Had a bunch of family stuff over the last month and a friend I haven't seen in seven(!) years was in town yesterday.

I forget the artist on the left but the one on the right is Norman Rockwell. That girl looks so happy to have that black eye, it's so freakin adorable.

My warm light from my desk lamp and the cool light from outside made for some interesting colors. I feel like my skin looks really yellow, like I have jaundice or am a character from the Simpsons.

I look pretty grumpy in all of these. A morning person I am not.
