Description ~SageHazzard asked me to help out with a comic hes starting, and do some concept art for a character of his called sledge

SLEDGE

Age: 21-25
Height: 6 foot 3
Body Type: Lean but Fit
Hair: Black, messy, longish (uneven, but some strands over the eyes)

Clothes:

Pinstripe suit, black, buttoned up usually, black dress shirt, buttoned all the way, nice and neat, black pants, red tie. Now, the boots... I want him to have "powerful" boots but his pants are over them. It's hard to describe how they look because it's fuzzy in my mind. Those kind of boots where there's the area the foot's in, then where the bottom of the foot would be, but then there seems to be another 2-3 inches of shoe on the bottom. Also, they'd probably have steel on the inside of the toe. These are skull crushing boots. Sadly, they'd only be seen from below the ankle. He also wears brown work gloves. Just plain looking gloves that are the kind a constuction worker might wear.

TFP (ten foot pole):

This is a massibe ten foot staff with a ball shaped thing on the end. So it'd come to about 12-13 feet. The ball is metal as well as the staff, but they aren't from the same mold. In other words you can see where the ball's part ends and the staff beginds but if sillouted it looks otherwise... hope I didn't over explain that.... Anyway, it has spikes on it. You can have some fun with the spikes, they don't have to be exactly uniform. Sledge holds the staff differently but the "grip" part of it is at the very end of the staff. Now, with an ordinary human they'd have problems swinging such a long weapon by holding it at the end, but Sledge is super strong. It fits into his suit jacket. There's a holster area that's built into the lining of the coat where the staff goes into. The ball part of the TFP would be up, above Sledge's head. The staff goes through the holster and out the bottom of the coat. He's usually just carrying the TFP but he does where it in the holster at times.

Pose/Etc.:

You can draw him swinging the TFP or whatever, it doesn't matter to me. In fact, I'd love to see one where Sledge is not swinging it and one where he's going all out with it. Maybe he could be hitting multiple people with it. See, since it's so long and he's so strong, it has a way of "catching" multiple people in it's swing, so it's great for brawls. But that's up to you if you feel like it.

But, for now just draw him holding it in a cool pose or something. Since it's so long in relation to him, it might be hard, so let me know the limitations on that.

Oh, and could you maybe also sketch a picture of just his face and have him wear a hat? A black dress hat with a red hat band. I'm toying with him wearing a hat sometimes. Just sketch it loosely so I get the visual picture. You can e-mail that one to me, since you might not want to put up a sketch on your gallery.

------------------------

alright well pinstripes aside (nah. didnt work.) i think this pretty much fits the bill hopefully

if you want more, man, just ask. i think ill give that cover art a try next unless youd want more concepts





id just like to stress this was all done with me wacom tablet ....

So this is what a wacom can do in the right hands.
I love it.
The character is so angry, dark and good looking.
From the spikes on the mase to the way his head fades out.. brilliant.

Mice suck. Do you hate mice.

nice effect i really love the pencil shading in the suit *nods* very nice. The pose is dynamic even if you use that angle a lot it -is- effective. Shows a lot of motion and emotion in your characters. Good stuff.

So this Sledge, he actually uses a mace... I guess I'll accept it if the MUSKETeers use swords.

hmm this is damn good stuff man, i really like this - it reminds me of the Arucard character out of the Hellsing anime/manga... but with a big whacking think instead of a huge pair of pistols

either way this is damn cool

You're right on the second guess. He's pissed as hell and he's got good reason to be.
