Law of the Nomad - the comic

I've begun my journey into comic books, and my first big step is the Law of the Nomad. The Law of the Nomad is an original story created by myself and my brother Lucas Soto. It follows the journey of Makya, a Nomad, which in this world is a wandering law enforcer; he is on a mission to track down and capture a rogue Nomad by the name of Nashoba, whose intentions threaten to upset the current order laid out by the government.

The first chapter/issue is complete. However as I am trying to get it off the ground and hopefully make some money, I don't want to post the whole thing to the internet quite yet. So here are the first few pages, as a taste.

The bird's hair is the wrong color, I just haven't corrected it yet.

Some Texture Painting Practice

With the help of a tutorial in Vertex i created a couple of practice textures

Gadget Punk Character Concept

 Gadget Punk is the scrappy little robot who is the star of his own rogue-like sidescrolling adventure game!

Design inspiration came from small scraps and tools you can find around a mechanic's shop or in a toolbox.

My Early Idea Sketches

Merry Christmas Bear!

Christmas in the eyes of a child.     20" x 16"     Oil on Canvas

This year I was asked to create and donate a painting for a local charity event called The Festival of Trees. The event is run by the Mercy Foundation, and volunteers team up and put together a 'Tree' package that follows a theme; people then bid on the package and the money raised goes towards helping children in need. The theme of the 'Tree' my painting will be with is "Christmas through a child's eyes" or something along those lines.
