KRAGG in hi-fidelity technicolor

Kragg The Savage One... in color

KRAGG!

Here's a look at the monster from the forthcoming story by Scotty and I. I've begun referring to him as KRAGG, in true old school Marvel fashion.

I like this drawing because it's incorporating all the aspects I picked up from doing the monster in different artist's style, but hopefully let my own shine through. I was focusing on keeping the tree-trunk arms and fluid tendrills. I forgot the four eyes thing and I don't like the open hand all that much.

I included the raw scan on the inks w/o any of the much needed clean-up and the prelim pencils.

Monster From The Grave

So this is one that I'm really quite proud of...a rarity, so that's nice.

That forward most tentacle still bugs me because it's not fluid like the rest (I may change it). I think I finally nailed some of the Kirby-monster stubbiness that I was going for in earlier prelim stuff.

I might have done a wee bit of borrowing from Khary Randolph...or rather totally swiped the pose from him.

Of Man and Monster colors

More prelim stuff for "Of Man and Monster." Some colors...even though the story's in black & white. I should probably have my head examined.

Of Man and Monster inks-

More prelim stuff for "Of Man and Monster." Raw scan of the inks.

Of Man And Monster -Fourth pass

Scotty and I are working on a short little horror story for the next issue. We're basically both coming up with designs and then smashing them together to see what works. Here was my fourth pass at the look of the monster.

This one, I just kinda went nuts with texturing and heavy inks. I wanted to throw out some of the other themes that I'd been sticking to, just to play with it. This is one that I never considered a serious contender because it's not hulking enough.

Of Man And Monster -Third pass

Scotty and I are working on a short little horror story for the next issue. We're basically both coming up with designs and then smashing them together to see what works. Here was my third pass at the look of the monster.

This one is a drastic change- I started incorporating stuff that Scotty was doing in his. I also wanted to try a more serpentine look by slendering him up a bit. I used a Mignola drawing of FingFangFoom as a base mdel. Scotty added a cool mane of tendrils to one of his, while mine end up looking like wild medusa hair.

Of Man And Monster -Second pass

Scotty and I are working on a short little horror story for the next issue. We're basically both coming up with designs and then smashing them together to see what works. Here was my second pass at the look of the monster.

Some edges started rounding out and the gut-tentacles are becoming more prominent.

Of Man And Monster -First pass

Scotty and I are working on a short little horror story for the next issue. We're basically both coming up with designs and then smashing them together to see what works. Here was my first pass at the look of the monster.
