Stardancer.org: Spots's Lullaby

"Spots's Lullaby" 2010-08-19 • Blog This Up to the art listing by Project(Spots the Space Marine). Random Image by Project(Spots the Space Marine).
Prior image: Gun is Done! This illustration for the "Lullaby" episode of Spots was completely unplanned, and in fact I did it before I wrote the scene which means I missed the opportunity to draw Claws into the final tableau. (I guess I should have known when he insisted on showing up in the drawing at all, even standing uncomfortably in the back, that he was going to end up more important to the scene than I thought.) The scan is... actually pretty close to actual size which is why I had so much trouble getting all their facial features in. Lessons learned. Also, embraces with aliens with multiple limbs? Very hard! I can certainly tell why there's no Spots the Space Marine graphic novel. This took me an hour and I haven't even inked or painted it yet. Nevertheless, I really like it. So here it is...! 6 people have marked this as a favorite.
