Finally got The Broken Knight bedded down, so now the long process of chapter 3, The Generals. First order of business, re-design Hector to make him sexier. Not sure about short hair or shaved head yet, in any case first time we see him is going to be in the middle of a battle so he might be a bit shaggy around the edges, in need of a shave.
The armour is going to have to be simplified for the final comic, but I thought I'd play around with the design. Designing armour for a comic is a tough process. You want it to be detailed so it looks cool, but they you are going to have to draw the bastard over and over again, so you want it to be as simple as possible as well. At the start I had a kind of generic WoW feel to the Men of Weare but it was a bit boring. So, given they are religious nuts, I went for a kind of roundhead/conquistador vibe, with a bit of leather fetish corsetery and straps thrown in. It ended up looking pretty Judge Dredd but that's not a problem, old Joe has the fascist fetish thing down.
