A Few Additions

This last round has already been received and colored so I'm a little slow to post.  I'm currently in the early stages of organizing the next round.  I have loose outlines as to where the story pieces go (Except for Captain V Space Dog but I'll get to that in a moment).  The dragons and even Station 13 are more exploratory for me.  Since I have no real direction I can create what I'm interested in at that moment.


 
Frank and Charlie's journey has been outlined with major plot points or turns and even the dinosaur story has started to round itself out.  Of course I'm stretching Dino history to draw dinosaurs I want to draw.  Soon the Triceratops and the Stegosaurus families will meet and this would have never happened because they did not live at the same time.



As for Captain V, I've decided to add a nemesis and shift gears from an exploratory mission traveling to each planet to a "high-speed" space chase traveling to each planet.  This story has not been thought out except to where and how it might end.  The chase will definitely take Captain V and 7 to all the planets but how and why are a mystery even to me.



Here we have a few color editions I've been working on.  The first is an initial concept piece for the bad guy Drogo Blekk (I will not lie, I wanted a Cthulhu-esque character) and his ship the Cuttlefish.  The next is a Helicopter Rescue Team modeled after the Coast Guard.  The crew though is what was always important.  My brother Steve and of course our Dog "V" and rounding out the crew on either side is James and Joseph my nephews.  I had a blast drawing it and they just loved it.  I tend to steer away from people due to lack of confidence so this was a great project to begin my therapy.

Last but certainly not least is Venus.  After months (if not years) I've finally dusted off the camera and attempted some more photography.  Venus is easy subject matter and I don't think I could ever take enough photos...
