Archons

Continuing my rough sketches in the Archon universe, this is a villain I call the Penultimate Lord. In developing the concept for his appearance I inadvertently came close to another villain from one of the big league companies. I'll let you guess which one. The Penultimate Lord is infused with entropic energy and has no story similarities so I think it's probably fine. I might further delineate the differences in some more sketches. He's meant to be an entropic being in futuristic powered armor.

I don't want to let anything go just yet regarding the origins of this fellow, but lets just say he's obviously got some connections with the end of everything. Which reminds me - I haven't yet drawn even a lick of Entropy.

It seems like ages since I've sketched out anything more than doodles on actual paper. I got a couple sizes of Moleskines for my birthday a few months back and have been putting them to use in the last few weeks. The subject is Archons, which you may have seen here before.

This morning I decided to plug my tablet into my new PC and doodle.

I'm running Vista (mainly for DX10) and using a Wacom Bamboo. I've been setting up a lot of Linux flavors at work and loving my mactop so it's put me in an open source frame of mind. My photoshop and open canvas are all sitting on my old laptop, so I decided to give GIMP another whirl. Seemed kinda cool, but it was totally jacked with the wacom. Anyways...I settled on Paint.NET and started doodling.

Here's what I ended up with...
