Some Mindlessness

Teaser poster for The Seventh Hour, featuring Archen Dei looking creepy!

The title comes from the fact that this young fellow’s assassination will spur the entire plot of the story, whenever I get out of the conceptual phase for it. Hope you enjoy.

Hey all!

I’ve been REALLY busy drawing lately, it would seem. I’ve finished two of the character profiles and am almost done with the first page of The Seventh Hour comic. I plan on doing a profile image for every major character in the story. So far, I have Ryan Thompson, the main character and one of the few people alive who still has an Old Earth name. I forgot to add his hands and will end up making his skin a little less sallow the next time I look at this in Photoshop.

And Archen Dei, an aspiring young politician whose future is unfortunately not as grand as he hopes it will be. There are a few issues to fix in this one, as well; I’m unhappy with his hands more than anything, and I forgot the framing lines in his name panel.

And finally, here’s the progress so far on the comic. Everything is gradually coming together but I still have quite a bit to do before I finalize things. I am contemplating leaving the first panel with the painted look, and doing the rest of the comic in a more cartoony style, as I have in the other two panels. What do you all think? Should I keep the painted panel, or redo it in a more uniform style? I would of course finish his goggles, first, and fix that white burst of light.

TSH: Chapter One, Page One.

If I have the patience for it, I think so, good sirs and madams.
