@Darktiste:  I guess the reference would have been this painting by Michael Malm:  https://secureservercdn.net/45.40.145.15...tings2.jpg

@Rotohail:  Heheh thanks dude, I've been building this world for around 5 years or so - I guess when you've been dreaming things up over that amount of time you accumulate a fair number of ideas :).  Also, thanks for introducing me to Tsutomu Nihei, I'm loving his work!

@Pubic Enemy:  Thanks for dropping by man, funny you should mention the heavy metal music thing - I'd often imagined a scene with this character striding into battle with some kind of heavy music playing!

@TrevArr:  Hey welcome to the forum and thanks for the ideas - I love the faceless hero idea especially - I might cycle back around to this storyboard at some point and try these out!

@Leo Ki:  Thanks man - I like the diagonals - makes the sequence feel more dynamic - although I've always been a fan of boring rectangular panels because it requires very minimal effort on the part of the reader to read the panels in the correct order.  I think I might prefer to tilt the horizon and increase the dynamism that way but thanks for taking the time anyway dude.

Here's something I'm working on for my church.  I've also used this as an opportunity to push my invention process more - basically I take an idea and iterate and refine over and over slowly nudging it towards the finished piece.  The keyword in my head is "iterate".  Also I want to look into "ideation", I've seen this word before and it seems to describe some of what I'm trying to do here.




And here's another perspective drill.  With these I'm trying to train myself to draw scenes in perspective.
