The owner/operator of ComicFiction.com, talks about his work and this nerdy pop culture thing.

Cartoon style HAWK, based on the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century tv series. I simplified his outfit quite a bit, no feather accents, but gave his glove a talons feel. Went blue instead of all black or black and grays for separation.

Col. Wilma Deering animated style, based on the #gilgerard and #eringray Buck Rogers in the 25th Century tv series. Again, I simplified the uniform details and went with her up, for a more military look as well as it’d be easier to animate. I made her hair red to pop more in cartoon form and also purple eyes for the same reason. She’s from a future/sci-fi time, purple eyes are possible.

Buck Rogers animated style, based on the #gilgerard Buck Rogers in the 25th Century late 70’s/80’s tv show. Always been a fan of the series and still surprised it never got the Saturday morning cartoon treatment. Even the Dukes of Hazzard got a cartoon. You’d think a tight spandex, single color uniform, would lend itself to animation. I simplified the uniform details, but hopefully kept the overall look and feel recognizable. Swipe to compare with its tv counterpart.

Elf-like, mage-like, #characterdesign for a #scififantasy project. When developing characters, there’s always the debate of using established nomenclature (elves, mages, dwarves) or create your own (splurds, tayfings, huntints). Elf mage like woman, will have to do for the moment. #comicfiction #conceptart #fantasyart #elfmage #elfmaiden #lineart #illustration #drawing #pencils #sketch #magicstaff #animehair #elfwarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/B2RPuKXl8JU/?igshid=9uo4s258j1yh

Pencils and lines for the #shapeshifting thief. He can mold his face, lengthen and shorten his limbs, and change his skin tone for a short time. But, the more he does, the less time he can hold it. Still can’t grow hair though. #comicfiction #conceptart #characterdesign #pencils #digitalink #lineart #fantasy #originalcharacter #blackcreatives #animationdesign #thievesguild #drawing #illustration #sketches https://www.instagram.com/p/B2LJwnBFbb4/?igshid=1gzbxaxgdj3x5

Final colors and details on this #scififantasy #conceptart #characterdesign piece. In the initial design stages for this project so I can already see what’s going to change, but I also like to make the first take as complete as possible. #comicfiction #comicart #animationart #cartoonart #blackcharacters #blackcreators #animehair #originalcharacter #swordandsorcery #fantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Kjwfalkjz/?igshid=z4obaxedsfzf
