From The Archives: The Keeper

This is a character design I developed for a vampire story I was working on in the early 90's.  He was supposed to a druid type, a defender of the "world tree", and a shape changer.  At that time, I was very influenced by the Image comics style, thus the eye tattoo.  I cringe looking at this now, but I'm sure I'll cringe looking back at some of the work I'm doing now.  In the end, It's all just history.

Wind of the Gods Integration: Marvel Comics Omega Prime Sentinel

I drew this Omega Prime Sentinel sketch as practice for a page layout involving Alpha Flight.  I wanted to explore what might have happened in Canada during Operation: Zero Tolerance.  I love hard to beat robots as adversaries for comic book heroes.  I guess it all boils down to seeing Terminator in my formative years.

Wind of the Gods Integration: Manhunter

Developed drawings of DC Comics Manhunter.  I beleive this version was Mark Shaw.  It could just as easily be one of the robotic versions.  I dig big red robots.

Wind of the Gods Integration: Alpha Flight

This is the first time all of these pieces have appeared in the same place at the same time.  They have been posted elsewhere, but in the spirit of integration, I would like them present here as well so that they are all together.
