worked on this one afternoon while debating over another project.

contest entry: wolverine and the x-men comic cover

a little something for a contest on facebook. there are rumors that the short lived cartoon series might continue as a comic, so the contest is to draw a comic cover based on the previously mentioned plans for season two ... which look a lot like age of apocalypse.

i tried to incorporate a lot of the show's character design in to this image because that's probably what the comic version of a cartoon show would do.

firefly- poster

the image all of these character drawings have been leading to. i tried to capture as much as i could from the show... the way the characters look, the lighting, the colors, the western feel and a little chinese thrown in there. i love this show. thanks for sitting through all of my character posts. i hope you dig the big group image.

aim to misbehave

firefly- the doctor and the prodigy

while mal, zoe and jayne may handle most of the plot and action, simon and river tam are the other real heartbeat for the show. simon gave up a promising career as a doctor to save his sister, river, from some creepy alliance experiment. the two are fugitives and while that complicates the lives of everyone else on serenity, it also gives them all purpose. what was the alliance doing to river? what secrets are in her head? watch the show and then watch the movie. seriously. you'll love it.

group image is next!

firefly- the shepherd and the companion

i paired these two together for this post because they both hold more hopeful and spiritual presence, guiding the others and providing some conscience. book is a shepherd, a preacher, and has a very western faith... as well as a mysterious past he keeps hidden. inara is a companion... a high class prostitute... and has more of an eastern spirituality ...as well as a huge crush on mal that she keeps hidden.

two more!

firefly- the pilot and the engineer

rounding out serenity's crew are the pilot, wash, and engineer, kaylee. wash is a leaf on the wind when he's flying, and he's also kind of the chandler of the group. yeah, i dropped a 'friends' reference. while wash provides the humor, kaylee is the heart of the group. and she also knows way too much about ships and machines.

still more coming!
