Willis Henry: Becoming a Hero
Willis Henry: becoming a Hero, is a transition from the sad boy, to becoming the Hero visually.
The left is his sad life, middle is once he is anointed with the eternal flame/soul drive, and the right is his iron titan fused form.
The original drawing of this was one of the earliest images I drew for finding the character. So, making the clean line version was really fun to make.
Well, Summer is quickly coming to a close, and new work is ramping up... but we will talk about that later.
Ciao!

Willis Henry Sadness Multiplied
The problem with trouble... is that it always seems to multiply.
Willis Henry might be sad, but I'm having fun making these quick clean lines. Ahh.. but the summer seems to go so fast. Gotta enjoy the summer break while it lasts.
Go out and have some fun.
See ya next week!

Willis Henry Quick and Clean: Sad Boy
Before he became a hero, Willis Henry was a sad boy.
Another quick illustrator experiment. I think I'm getting pretty good. One of my goals for this is to make clean lines, but also to get better and faster in character creation. So far, so good... just need to keep pushing.
Hope everyone is not sad, and having a great summer.

Willis Henry Quick Clean and Establishing Background Shots
Willis Henry Comic milestones are going pretty well... so now it's time for Backgrounds!
For background, I have them separated into tiers. The highest tier are establishing shot, which are usually for a new scene change, and setup places and characters. I try to put more time into really important location (usually location that will repeat) by making these long format backgrounds.
Backgrounds are to done in watercolor, however backgrounds are not some of my art strengths (I would like to improve greatly in this area) however, I still enjoy doing them.
While the top images is an experiment of translating some sketches into quick illustrator clean lines.
Happy Summer!
