Panel 3 Complete + w.i.p's

This panel is the 3rd showing the direct effect of The Executioner's strength. I have once again, included work in progress images to show my changed and possible thought process. This panel was very difficult. It had a very complex pose and angle meaning I had to use a lot of reference. Now that it is complete however, I will now have a bit of breathing space before another complex pose, so to speak.

Panel 3 - Laying the Smackdown

This panel is the next to follow showing Karl Matthews being slammed down to the ground. I used an image from the spider-man comic for reference and it really has some impact, which is what I am trying to also get across with this image. I think it's on the right track and just needs to be worked up a bit more before I start inking the image. I added SLAM in large letters not only to add to this, but because the move is also, literally a slam - fits well doesn't it.

''My god King, he's just broke him in half!''

Establishing Shot - Near Final

This will be the first panel establishing the scene in which the event is taking place. Alter some feedback I altered each side of the arena, as to make sure that the viewer does not get disorientated with each panel. Adding signs was an easy way to do this and was something I should have done regardless to add more to the scene. All that is left to do now is to add a caption, if there will be one.

Panel 2 Complete + w.i.p's

It's been a a couple of days or so since my last update of panel 2. It has been tough, but with reference I have managed to complete it to a fairly accurate degree. Some aspects still need touching up on but for now, I will push on to panel 3 in which Karl Matthews is being thrown down to the canvas with full force.

Below are the work in progress shots of the panel and images I used as reference.

Reference Images: 

I was heavily influenced by a section of an Ultimate Spider-man book which featured wrestling. It gave me an idea of when to apply comic book style effects and what panels should follow others. I looked at Bill Pearl, a Mr Universe winner from around 1955 for anatomy reference, and also superman images for where to apply ink to my heavily muscled Executioner. 

Panel 2 w.i.p

Tough is a word which springs to mind. I have chosen a tough area for this project. It relies heavily on action and therefore a high knowledge of anatomy and perspective. Both of which i am not very well accustomed to yet.

This panel is still in early stages but hopefully I can really add to it and start to make it look right. I know the anatomy is off, I just have to work out how to fix it....and this is only panel 2.

Title Screen Rough

For my title screen I wanted to have a vs pose just like in real wrestling matches. This is a rough idea of what it may look like/will look like. It's very simple. I included test box's at the bottom as a means of giving more information to the user about each character. It also looks reminiscent of text box's used in comic books which is a nice touch. This screen and the establishing shot give a lot of information to the audience about the promotion, who is champion/contender and therefore what the match is about, highlighting it's importance. Little touches like this are necessarily in order to give information without a lot of text.

Est.Shot coloured v.1

Few more tweaks, it's getting there. Taking much to long especially with the many other panels I will need to do, although this is the most detailed they will get.
