The rocket headed mafioso.

This is a little more Go Nagai-ish and I love it.

Palace Mafia's number 1 assassin, she has shooting fingers.
Yes, she has two brains drawn over her ass, Perfumed Metal always aims for the head.

Her name comes from Chrome's song

Gorio Granfalloon

Gorio's a bodyguard for the Palace mobsters' boss and sort of Helios' nemesis.
This is his common appearance, his alien race's power allows him to mutate shape in certain cases.

The surname comes from Vonnegut's Cat Cradle, Granfalloon is a group of people who unite for a meaningless purpose.

I wanted to create a mix of elegant and strange clothing, he's supposed to be a weird character and I think his clothing reflects it. Went a little rougher for this one.

Witchcraft Trial, Bitter Blood At Coalstone Cliff

The blood in the orb will tell if she's a witch or not.

Had this one in the drawer for maybe more than a year; so I decided to adjust and complete it before starting to do anything else. Maybe I rushed a little bit, I'm not entirely happy with the results, although I really like the redhead's clothing. I think it may be resurrected once again in a while, maybe work a whole different way through it.

Helios Creed

Here's a design development drawing for the protagonist in my upcoming science fiction comic.

Helios is part of a group of private agents, working borderline cases that cross the boundary between reality and supernatural events.

The name comes from Chrome's genius guitar player, the next bunch of comics have lots of homages to bands I like and are a constant soundtrack, and inspiration, when I draw.

Virtua Mondo

Since she got great success here's a full figure drawing of Virtua Mondo, double crossing spy.

I retouched as little as I could from the first sketch I made of her; my first inspiration came from Roni Fugate from P.K. Dick's The Three Stigmata Of Palmer Eldritch.
I had fun designing her clothes; I drew inspirations from modern clothing, Star Wars, a little bit from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures and added some subtle ethnic elements.

So now she's definitely in the comic. =)

Some sketches

Here are some sketches of characters for my new sci-fi comic, since I don't know if they'll make their way to the comic I'm posting them here.
The first one on the left is a villain inspired by Kirby's ones he has no name so I'm calling him Kirbo.
The curly girl is Virtua Mondo, I like her a lot thus she may be redesigned a little bit and make it as a double crossing agent and a love interest for the main character.
Last one is some sort of warlock/counsellor for the enemy mob.

I'll start working on a new short comic these days, it's a story that's been sitting in my drawer for a while and I want to pick it up before focusing on the sci-fi comic, so updates soon.
Stay tuned!
