Beast hunting?….Bounty hunting? well one things for sure they are BATTLE BADGERS!

Well the insides are pretty much done, and the cover is coming together. Issue one here we come!

What happens when you squish six years of Beast Quest reference photos in to 39 seconds!

Logo a go go!

Hmmm, to bounty hunt or beast battle!!? What they do is bounty hunting, but then the draw of the story is mainly the monsters so would be good to put "beast" in the title. Also should they hunt or battle? It's not like they actively go hunting and killing things, more like they are there to sort out any beasty thats causing trouble! oooh decisions decisions.

The stages of the pages…..

First things first, gotta get that scene out of the old bonce and down onto paper.
Helps to work fast and small (8cm x 11cm) that way you can get a good idea if the comoposition is working well or not.

 Now for the fun part, I blow that little scamp up to full size (25cm x 38cm) to use as a guide for the pencils. Everything is in place, just a case of fleshing it all out.

With things starting to take shape it's time to lay out the word balloons. At this stage elements can still be tweaked and twiddled with should there be issues with my intended layout.

Then when it's all scribbled in and shaded out and the bubbles are working the way I hoped, it's time to crack out the pen pot to lay down the law with some lovely blacks.

All done, just a bit of toning…..

…and tiz all done :)
