Top Cow Talent Search

My first attempt at drawing Witchblade.

Pursuing the dream. I'm attempting to throw myself into the comic world mix by submitting penciled pages to the Top Cow Talent Search. Top Cow is a leading comic book producer under the Image publishing house. Led by founder Marc Silvestri, they have developed some of the most amazing talents, including David Finch and Kenneth Rocafort.

My reference book for this assignment. Thanks to Alan at Comic Grapevine in Lodi, CA.

I am choosing to attempt the pencils to the provided script for the Witchblade series. I admit I am not a follower of this book title. I am attracted to it as an opportunity to show my ability to draw dynamic women. The challenge is to redraw 8 pages from issue 165.

It took some effort but again thank you to Comic Grapevine.

I am using the pages as a storyboard to expand upon. I will attempt to put an intense spin to the previous pages. I've found that I don't fully understand her costuming so I've drawn her a few times to sample and explore the possibilities.

I hope to showcase the process and the finished pages soon.
