Blam Blam Blam




Our 'school girl' fighter. She lets her bullets do the fighting. Unfair? Yes.

Man Eater

I'm digging this 'Amazonian Warrior' gal we're working on. There's something with a girl with an axe in her hands and a skull on her head that's irresistible.

Head Game


A quick sketch n' paint of our man Stan.

Smoking is bad for you by the way...

Sha-wing!


She's gonna cut choo mang!

Ninja Ninja



Sketches for our 'ninja' character...

Quick split

Collide

Another quick sketch of Stan and one of our other fighters ;)

Head Room


A quick sample of a set of studies I'm doing of one of the character in the Stan universe.

Expresssions






Some real early expression sheets for Stan. Afterward we both agreed that he looked a little too laid back, with a " I'd rather make pottery then street fight" attitude. I then did the set of sketches below to 'liven' him up a bit.



It was'nt just his eye's that were the problem either. Stan was a project me and Jamar had tooled around with in prior years and in prior sketches he was more on the skruffy side. When I picked the character back up I was in this Manga school of thought where everything had to be clean shaven. Stans' design was influence by Spike Spiegel of Cowboy Bebop, so I suppose after awhile I sort of got lost in the sauce, losing the true essence of the character. The moral of this story? Sometimes references can either work with you or against you. There's a point where an artist must learn to work on his/her own feet.

First Frame


Heya guys, welcome to the Stan dev. blog 1.0. We'll be slowly updating things as we go along here.
