 Couple of things. Did some work on this today. I'm sitting on it for at least another day to see how I feel. Overall, I think it's decent, not my best, not my worst. Not sure of the colors at all. I did zoom in a bit as I felt there was a lot of wasted blank area. I think I got likeness, just...well, he IS a clown. That's problematic in a way. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.



Worked a little on another test for the next track of City Silent. I want a much more painterly approach to the characters but, after doing this, decided I wanted a contrast with the background. I will likely have Silas dancing against huge representations of his new work. Unless you click on it, you can't see the detail on the image above. But that's ok, because I did a quick and dirty piece of graffiti and then plunked this in front of it:


I want to soften the edges of this, make it look more painted, likely put it into perspective with just a hint of the wall texture behind it, but this is kind of what I had in mind. It's all inspired by the "Gotta Dance" sequence of "Singin' in the Rain." I think more of a silhouette will actually work well, and it will allow me to get some more wild colors back into the comic.
