An old character design for the canceled Sam & Max Freelance Police game. I like working in this rough pencil with built-up acrylic wash style. It's quick and can look remarkably finished even though it's loose. Does that make any sense?

I love Flint Paper!
ReplyDeleteEveryone who I have talked to about this agrees; in a live action Sam and Max, Bruce Campbell would fit the role perfectly.
nice i like
ReplyDeleteI was always kind of hoping for a Flint Paper comic... and I still am!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, where are my brushes?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the burst of inspiration.
I think it makes sense. I find that a rough sketch shows the flow, movement, and of course the construction of a character.
ReplyDeleteI will also have to say that I love Flint Paper. He's my favorite.
Nice, he kinda has a Humphrey Bogart look to him. Or maybe it's just me. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of flint. But I'm really a fan of this style. Rough yet polished. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI know this drawing, I don't really like it.
ReplyDeleteNot as good as you can usually do Mr Starchie !

ReplyDeleteAhh, I think you're inspiring me to post some more of these. Stay tuned!
Inspiring drawing, character and technique, thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh I remember the old game of Sam & Max, when they exit of your office and hear a few shots from inside the office of Flint Paper, and Sam say: "Oh I love the sensibility of Flint" and Max response: "Sam, please, don't use the word sensibility" jajaja. Is great!
ReplyDeleteHey Steve,
ReplyDeleteGreat illo. Always got a kick (in the head) from reading Sam & Max. It made me even laugh out loud. Any new comics in the works?
Best,
Gary
neat, he kind of looks like Bosco here.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I don't see that character working in Sam 'n' Max...
ReplyDeleteRight now I use watercolor to block in shapes and colors before going over it with charcoal pencil.
ReplyDeleteCan you give me more detail on your process? Maybe do a start to finish blog?
I haven't used acryclics since I was in high school. Maybe I should give them a try again.
