Default Comic preliminaries

Still not promising a finished product here, but here are the character models I'm using. I've done some alterations, some more obvious than others.

edit: ugh, didn't finish putting in that title.





Screwed up on eb's mask. It's a different style. Otherwise I tried to simplify the costume a bit while keeping it uniquely EB. Er, never mind the Christmas rocket. I just wanted a good flying shot.



Obvious change here. I said I was going to focus more on bow abilities than scrapper abilities. Used the original costume, substituting regular pants for the tight pants. The pants models changed between now and the original release.



Ultimate King of Spades! Redesigned after reading a whole bunch of Authority. Originally I just wanted to add the coat, but that covered up the stripes and I had to blacken up the whole thing to make it look right. Which ends our "no darkity dark characters" deal, but this is more Warren Ellis darkity dark than Rob Liefield.

Lucianna, in case you don't remember her. Just one single costume. The real Lucianna likes to change costumes (keeping the color scheme) like every other week, a trait I'd be staying true to here.



Randomus. Sort of an amalgation of all the various costume incarnations. I used a lighting bolt on the left hand mostly because I couldn't figure out what else to do.

There should be a triangle option as for the boots, or alternately I use the stripes on the gloves. The last costume just had leather gloves and boots, but I know you like the banana suit best.
The shoulders are normally blue primary to balance better, but that's just to my eye. It's your call for the comic.

I really like KoS' pose there. All, "I'm not putting up with this" and such.

Quite frankly, in single panel format, they draw too much attention to your crotch.

And yeah, no Bert in the real thing.

Reworked the little sig bar there. EB and Goldstar look much cooler now and the whole thing looks more cohesive. Put it in as an attachment since photobucket and imageshack are both acting weird at the exact same time.

Incidentally, I got 15 pages storyboarded, though little actual dialogue just yet. Learning from my Furies episode and adding a lot more action here.
