contract i just closed up; can't really go into details about the project, but the client has been kind enough to let me show abbreviated samples in my portfolio pre-announcement.
 
the rest can be found at http://www.delopolis.com/content/wolvescharacters.html .
thanks ;-)

They look great
I have a question, how do you get your lines that crisp and sharp? Could you just quickly describe your process?
Thanks. |

Good artwork !
I just want to ask if the characters' position is defined by your client to let them work with or if you were allowed to draw any position you wanted. |

thanks for the responses, everyone.
daryl: sorry chief, can't answer that question ;-)
jasonn: the line quality is mostly due to a very sharp derwent graphic hb pencil and a little clean-up where necessary in photoshop. since i don't have a light table, i've found it helpful in the step between approved sketch and final to use scanned sketch printouts with adjusted opacity levels (usually 1 to 3% opacity) as templates for finals (much like a traditional illustrator would use non-photo blue pencils or 10% grey design markers).
fabrys: a little of both actually. these illos ar meant to bridge the gap between concept and illustration. . . for the most part, they needed to be 'open' poses so that a certain level of information was obvious for the team's other development artists/modellers, but not completely static so that they could be shown in publicity et cetera. so i tried to experiment mostly with open stances (contrapostto et al)that seemed 'alive', but not so dynamic that they hid other critical information on proportions and detail.
thanks again yall;-)
