Concept Sketches: Early High Society Types

Early drawings of the Harthrows and company. Amon was originally older looking, before I made him a bit more square-jawed and intense. Father Abaddon initially looked mean and kind of ghoulish, I much prefer his present incarnation, being more of a goof.

Sketches: Usonia Concepts and Muscle Study

Sketches: Usonia Concepts and Muscle Study

DS #65 Pencil Preview

Hey guys! In what you'll agree is a totally out-of-character move, I got a little too ambitious with this page's details, so it may go up a day or so late. To make it up to you, I'm sharing the pencils.

There's nothing really spoilery outside of the dialog, so I hope you enjoy it!

Apologies for the lack of extra drawings in the feed lately. All the art I'm working on is loaded with *mega spoilers* so I figured it would be best to share those after they actually happen in the story!
