The Sean C Art House

I took a shot at the Fantastic Four - always liked these characters, even though Mr. Fantastic’s a jerk.

Also, I’ve been working on a major section of The Way of the Geek’s how-to guide for webcomic production. You may have already seen the first entry, and the second one’s a beast; I’ve been creating art for examples like crazy for the visual concept chapter. We’re hoping to collect the final result into a proper book that we’ll distribute, hopefully, for free.

This is Anthem, a supporting character in the Goldskull universe. Credit for his creation goes to my good friend Jason, who came up with the concept. I’ll admit I tweaked the idea, Jason, changing the sword to an energy hammer. It just doesn’t seem too heroic to slice up the bad guys; blunt trauma works better for that. Powers include flight, psychic generation of his energy hammer through his staff, and the ability to redirect energy attacks.

I’ll tell ya, the costume was a pain to design. Armor isn’t my strong point, so I wanted something that I could handle from multiple angles consistently, and I think this works. Some silver, white, and a touch of regal purple, and voila.

Always wanted to take a crack at this character, but never really got around to it until now. Went for the Turner-esque green design, looking to make it more organic rather than metallic. So much texture, but I think it was worth it.

Venom’s always been one of my favorite characters, and this was a fun one to do. Massive, hunched over, and threatening. That’s the stuff.

This one’s Phosphurious, a more minor villain in the Goldskull universe. I had a lot of fun with this design, and took the opportunity to practice some more shading. I’m not settled on that shade of green, or even if I can get the effect that I have in my head, but for now, this works weel enough.

I haven’t forgotten this blog, but my scanner went down for a couple weeks, which led to a backlog of images to work on. I’m working on Goldskull pages now, and hopefully it will launch sometime this month.

New art will come soon - promise.
