So, round 3 update!

The script for the first chapter is halfway finished, and now I've been playing with illustrating the characters in different poses. The relationship between Kyle and Persephone I haven't decided on yet, tho I'm sure that with time it will come to me. Anyways, enjoy some more work on the story and some random sketchings!

Keep you updated!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, die dritter Runde!

Die Document fur die ester kapital ist halb fertig, und jetzt mache ich Skizze mit die Charakteren im viel poses. Die Verwandtschaft zwischen Kyle und Persphone habe ich nicht ein Entscheidung gemacht, aber mit zeit, ich weiss das werde zu mir kommen. Naja, ich hoffe meine Skizze gefallst dir!

Bis Dann!

Developing a New Story Part 2!! More Designs 1:40 PM

So, more development in the story to come. Here are three of the characters from the face portraits together. They all will be shown in the beginning together. Some minor changes from the previous stages are shown here but now you can see how these three really stand next to each other. Also NAMES! From left to right we have, Gary, Clarie and Persephone and....For the girl you'll have to wait on some more development sketches!


Ahh, now we come to my weakness, landscape and BG development. I've gone and taken reference from various houses and landscapes hit by F4's and F3's. What does that mean? Its a vital part of this story to be. You'll also see here that some vehicals were concepted, and there's alot of important lingo for me here too.And here...this is the Main Character, Kyle with what is a F4 behind him...now do you get what I'm trying to do here?

This story is set to be a Manga-esk style Sci-fi Fantasy about this man's battle....againsts Mother Natures strongest force.

Look out everyone, because the script is IN DEVELOPMENT NOW!! Wish me luck on a interesting tale of Man vs. Nature!

Developing A new story! (One I've been waiting on) 2:21 AM

This is the initial concept page. After discussing it with one of my friends, a good German writer and story teller, I created concepts for a small pair that will initiate the story. You can see that I have idea of the body types for both characters thought out, and now I’m playing with the look of the two. During concept of the story, I had told my friend that if I create a realistic story feel, I wanted a male lead, and with the cartoonish I wanted a female lead. So he had suggested a Male backup for the female role. UPON FURTHER THINKING OF THE STORY AND CONCEPT, I decided that Cartoonish was not the right path for the story’s world, and changed to a more realistic feel for the characters and world. I mentioned earlier that depending on the style of the world, the Main character would be either male or female, and that stayed true. The Main Character is now a male and the female is a secondary MC in the story with ties to him. Here I began working on how the faces would look by borrowing feature from other characters that I could imagine playing the same roles in my story. What comes from this is seeing what I like and don’t like, so that I can move onto rough-ing out what will become the first draft of the first appearing characters in the story.This is the first body shot of the Main Character. This was created in order to confirm my drawings with my ideas. Being able to see the figure in your head running, moving, and whatever else you imagine helps out so much. You can see that he has some similar elements to the first conepted girl from above. You can also see that I shortened the girls pony tails. I didn’t like the long lenght and thought shorter would suit her character more.

The first Face portraits without reference. This takes all the elements I liked about the previous designs and really shows me what I can and cannot do with the character. From here these faces will be used to reference for the final designs. Also, the character can be given names now. I’ve developed them to a point where I can put them into a scene and can see them react to it without influence from my own personal life.

You’ll also see that two more characters have appeared. Maybe all will have strong roles in the story to come.

There is also a small Height Comparison. Just to give me a idea of how each person stands next to each other, and also shows me when beginning a character that starts next to another, where their heads will begin. You’ll see all four have circles drawn where their heads are.

Finalized Character Head Sketches! Get used to this because this is the appearance of the four character in the story, and how most other characters style will be. Now that the face are final, I can begin thinking about how other people will look, the world, and most importantly, what kind of clothes will these characters have! Exactly what is shown here. These three now have their body types and clothing drawn out for the first chapter of the story! Of course I will draw them again when props have been decided, but for now I can take these characters and fully diverse them into the world within my head without any roadblocks!

This is my design process that takes from a week to maybe months depending on the characters and style. Take a look and let me know what you think.

King of Fighters XII Fan Art Entry Sketch ( TEAM PSYCHO SOLDIER!!) - By: Christopher Taylor
King of Fighters XII Fan Art Entry Lineart( TEAM PSYCHO SOLDIER!!) - By: Christopher Taylor


So after having a look at Kevin Cameron's Blog, and discovering that there is in fact a new King of Fighters Game coming out, AND discovering that they're having a fan art contest....I decided to join. This will be my entry. Colored version coming soon.

As for the interview which some of you have asked about, I didn't get the job...but, I did get great help on my CV/Resume which you can see under the blog has been updated, and hopefully a good business contact for the future. Its back to the drawing board for me...literally, as I'm here again thinking of what path to focus myself on.

Duke and Tamara's Short story comic I need to get back on the ball and finish coloring those pages so I can finish drawing out the rest of the story, and Riven I need to be at a stable set of mine to finish drawing and coloring those pages at well. I don't want to draw one of my favorite stories while questioning every ounce of my pencil work. Its not fair to the story.

Otherwise I hope to have more updates soon. Possibly something rent money changing for me!

OH! Don't forget to stop by CHOCONILLA COMICS for some random sketches and comic stories of our lives!
