Little Big Damn Space Cowboy sketch
I'm a huge fan of the SF series "Firefly" by Joss Whedon. Known as "Big Damn Space War Firefly" in Japanese (宇宙大戦争).
This is Mal. Mal means bad, thus the character for bad (悪 'waru').
This was done in Zen Brush, an app on the iPad.
This is one of the characters that was designed by Tomoko Hirabayashi for our webcomic Hexenringe. I just love her character design. Rockin' Heroman is a rock-a-billy Ultraman cross-hybrid hero and will be showing up in the strip eventually. I like him so much I'll be using him in some spin-off strips that I'll draw myself. I've nowhere near the skill of Tomoko, so my sketch today is practice so that I don't do too crappy a job. Next I'll have to practice "kime" poses that live-action heroes are always doing.
This is from the cover of 100 Bullets #30. Awesome series by the way. Hard-boiled heaven. Amazing dialog, gorgeous dames, every page and every panel a noir masterpiece.
