A few sketches of potential covers for ‘Jasper’.

Through the course of working on Sirens, I would take breaks from writing/painting to sketch out ideas. This was a color ‘sketch’ of two Asura fighting over the right to feed on the cowboy’s soul.

An early design for one of the Demons.

There was a sequence in the original Sirens story where the Bio-form was going to fight the Minotaur in the maze leading to the Siren’s tomb. This segment was cut to bring the size of the story down.

Trying to re-familiarize myself with the insanity that is Zbrush (god how I wished Mudbox didn’t lose that battle), I decided to model one of the inhabitants of the City. I didn’t actually use this model as a reference during the making of Sirens, it would have made things easier if I had.

Nine fully-painted issues, what a journey! But I’m excited that it’s done. Now all I have to do is find a publisher. Just because I can, I’m going to post a few images from the development of that story. This first one was for a sequence that I ended up having to cut.  

This is one of too many pages that never made it into the final story. I really should have had a better game-plan for such an ambitious book.

Jasper is a four-issue fully painted comic that takes place in the Sirens Universe. You can find all four issues on Comixology: https://www.comixology.com/Jasper/comics-series/128074?ref=c2VhcmNoL2luZGV4L2Rlc2t0b3Avc2xpZGVyTGlzdC90b3BSZXN1bHRzU2xpZGVy Jasper is the story of a young woman who finds herself on a terrifying world where she is rescued by an alien killing machine that’s forgotten what it is.

Here is a super-short four-page story that was done as an art test. Any and all feedback would be gratefully accepted.
