Webcomic : Character Design

Another sketch of 'Kael' from my webcomic. I think I like this piece. It 'seems' like Kael. If you want a little insight into the character ( My fiance pointed this out ), he is a bit like 'Sawyer' from the ABC show 'Lost'.

For future reference, I will be posting character 'visions' like this on a regular basis. I try to draw the characters from the story whenever I get a chance. It allows me to 'discover' more about each character. Whether it be the drawing technique, the way they are drawn or the character's 'attitude'. Sometimes, this technique leads me in other directions and then other times it reaffirms what I had originally envisioned.

As personal critique, and it is just my opinion, I think my pencils are a lot better than my inks. When I ink the lines, the line work just dies right there on the vine. It's a very good thing there's hi-rez printing these days that allows the printing of full color ( including pencil lines ) printables. Otherwise, ug, I would need to hire an inker for all my work. [Imagine a sneer here ] Those damn professional tracers! Kidding ;) ... I am one to talk, I can't ink for my life!
