Description The Laikana Army, noted for their use of prosthetically enhanced soldiers.

This is part of a "Dogs of War" series that I have been playing around with for a little while. The character in the foreground is done in Micron pens and Tria Pantone grey markers. The other two are done in 0.7 HB soft lead on Strathmore Sketch paper.

Fantastic pencil work. Reminds me of Frezatto's style... What size is it?

All of the work was originally done on 11 x 14 sketchpaper. The three images were compiled through PS, so the actual sizes of each individual character is roughly 6 x 11, all being about the same size. Pretty dinky materials, soft lead (usually 0.7 lead in a mechanical pencil) and Strathmore recycled sketch paper, not withstanding the Photoshop CS assistance. Thanks for the questions and interest in the gallery here.

I can't possibly comment on the originality, detail, and style of this.

Have you published comics yet? I'll love to read your work.

Very professional looking work! The detail is exquisite. The armor design reminds me of Akira Toriyama's manga work a little bit (I mean that as a compliment, he does some great looking mechanical designs).

Oh, I really REALLY like this! The designs are great and you've gotten so much emotion in the faces, especially the fellow with the monocle. First rate! Great stuff! Many other compliments!


...oh, and btw, your line art is so clean, I hate you.

Oh my gosh... this is truely amazing. You did so many small details on this picture. I'm just wondering though, how long did this take you to do? I can't believe you'd have the patience to finish this!!!

The forefront character was done in a day, while in between responsibilities at the cubes. The grey tone wasn't added until about a year and a half later, and it took about 30 minutes. The BG characters were done in about a little over an hour just a few days ago. So in actuality, it took about almost two years to finish.....

we demand color!!

The way you give a human look in the eyes to your non-human characters... astounding.

Lovely armor as always. Looks very sci-fi, contrasted by the use of a sword.

"With Ate' by my side, come hot from hell, shall in these confines with a monarch's voice, cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war!" Muwahahahaa!! Oi...it's been a few years, but I think that was the quote...*scratches head* Anywho, very impressed with the detail on this one. Plus I love dogs, so very nice. ^_^ *wishes she had your mad skillz*

Spiffy stuff, hermano. But I want to see it in color.
The armor is great, the facial expressions are awesome, the only problem I can find is
that I think it would look tons better in color.

It's called "Contrasting the forefront character with the BG characters, so as not to confuse the eye when looking at all of the detail if they were the same saturation", love. Or, wait.... it's just called contrast....yeah, contrast......take that.
