I Got Something Fun from a Book Fair

I haven't seen some of this material. New (for me) Mike Mignola stuff is always great, his 80s and early 90s stuff especially. I'm only really familiar with his latter career. Seeing his shift from then to what he does now is just amazing. So much he dropped since those earlier days and so much that he retained and refined over the years.
Good mister Mignola used a lot more profile shots back then, a lot more empty shots too. The hatching he was doing a lot even in the latter parts of his pencilling career but it was done a lot more in these times. His art, last two pics, was real different too. It's too noodley and meticulous in the linework and detail. It's likely the inkers.

Hath not a Sketchbook drawings? III

Some character designs for a comic I'm working on between projects.

The robed fellow's design isn't his final. There are some (uncommitted to paper as of yet) other designs. The guy in the fancier looking clothing? His design is final. It's just an adaptation of another person's design unto paper but with my drawing sensibilities building it up than its original basis.

Below one can see the thumbs of the project. These are the preliminary thumbs. They're now covered with notes for the changes that should happen to them. I may post the changed thumbs in a week or two and keep doing that until it's all good. It'll be then a matter of working out the composition in the more complicated shots before final drawing.
