Who Are You?




From the ancient flat file strata, character sketches from some long-forgotten development project.

I've seen the girl before somewhere, but can't place it right now. Maybe the abandoned game?

Gorgeous light values, Steve. It's nice to see your drawings once in a while.

Oh wow, these are so good. The shading on the first guy especially. I have no idea what property they're from, though.

I'm with Yosef. I know you most of all because of Sam and Max, but these are great sketches.

No clue but I feel like ive seen the girl's sketch before. No clue about the guy. Have you ever published these before?

I have no idea what those are for but I'm dying to find out. I can't get over how nice you drew that highlight in the dude's hair ... I just love the zigzag shape of it because it describes the form so perfectly and has flair. You're so dang good it hurts sometimes. Alright, all the time.

These sketches were development for The Thief of Always correct?
You and Garrett did some amazing drawings on that project. I think the girl's name is Lulu and the guy is the Rictus. As always, it is so much fun to look at your drawings.
