quick sketch book mechy-creature thing...

...sorry for the poor resolution; this was a quick iphone snap I took before this fella had an unfortunate encounter with some coffee....

Slightly different process...

...this time with dudes:

I wanted to explore silhouettes defined by line, and a one-shade tone here; as opposed to the black n' gradient sils of the female warrior below. I think I like this style better - it suits a line junkie like me...

Next stage....

picked a silhouette from the previous post; took it to the next level - next up, polish!

Revamping ye olde fort polio! Working up a page of silhouettes, then selecting and refining, rinse, repeat. Here: the raw material!
