Sacred Seasons update

For the last 6 months I've been working on the new version of Sacred Seasons. What originally started out as part 2 of the game, turned into a total revamp of the original instead. Check out the official announcement here -

Sacred Seasons

I have a feeling this game/franchise will grow huge as time goes on. It's a unique story which is refreshing in a sea of cloned mmos.

When it's released I plan to post a bunch of art I did for it, so stay tuned!

Darkstalkers 1 pg 13

So here's the first time you see Dimitri and Pyron. I hadn't drawn Dimitri before so he took a few goes before looking somewhat decent. That face of his gives me a challenge every time. The rough was fairly straightforward and I liked having the chance to draw Morrigan again;).



I eventually decided to reuse the same pose as the Morrigan from page 7 as it seemed to make more sense. I do feel like I drew this one better though... anyways, every page is a new adventure.



I think I have 1 more page that I'll post up from this issue. When issue 2 is released, I'll make sure to post those pages as well.

cheers!

Darkstalker 1 pg 11

So here's Huitzil's chance to fight back, and give Anakaris a good beat down! This page was a blast to work on, since you get to see each of the characters transform a lot. The rough worked pretty good from the get go but I still wonder if I could have done the transforming Huitzil better...





I like how this page turned out though. Overall it works but again, I think I would have liked to have added a few panels to show some of the transformations. Just ran out of room!



Anyways, that's the last page i'll be showing with Anakaris in it so i hope you enjoyed it!

Cheers,

Darkstalkers 1 pg 10

As the book was released on Wednesday, I'm able to start showing more of the penciled pages. I'll just pick some of my favorites instead of boring you with all of them.

This page was tricky. The script asked for a bunch of action shots with Anakaris attacking a Huitzil. As you can see by my roughs here, I struggled to find an appropriate layout.



3rd times a charm as I finally found a layout that worked, but had to cut a panel to make it happen. I'm not going to bother posting the thumbnails to this page as it was mostly just barely legible scribbles..

Here's the final -



Anyways, I'll be posting more soon!

A lot of improvements have been made in the last of couple months thanks in most part to Ramon Perez and Karl Kerschl, those guys kick ass!

We have some really exciting news on the horizon so stay tuned as we continue to grow:).

Cheers,

VED!

Darkstalkers 1 pg 8

So in keeping with my earlier posts, here is Darkstalkers page 8!

I really like how this page turned out. The thumbnail went pretty quick too.


The rough took no time to lay in as well since there wasn't really any complicated characters or action shots to figure out.



I enjoyed working on this page and really spent some time on the backgrounds.



Anyways, hope you like it and more pages are around the corner!

Cheers,

Udon's Darkstalker Tribute book review.

I just came across this 1up review today while scouring the net. I was happy to see not only a positive review, but that the reviewer had chosen my Morrigan pinup as one of the pinups to showcase in his review! Check it out here -

Anyways, shameless self promotion I know, but isn't that what blogging is all aboot?

On a side note, I will be posting more work soon, just have to wait until the books are on the stands;).

Cheers!
