Preacher Development

I have started illustrating the second poster design for my Preacher editions. Herr Starr is an unusual character. One who is definitely a villain but has some quirks. One of my favourite scenes is when he is in a training camp and he has to do a line-up with all the other applicants. He is standing shirtless and you see that this very serious character has a nipple chain. In the comics his character is a bit more 'out there' but I like how the show kept the characters essence using subtleties.

My draft for this image is based on that scene. With the classic Herr Starr stance and air about him. i haven't decided what other elements to encorporate to have it feel more like a sister poster to the Amazing Ganesh, but I still really like it regardless.   

I really enjoy doing my drafts in red pencil. It has a nice line quality and it allows me to work with less pressure. I then turned the line black on PS and have a decent image to play around with. I am going to spend a lot of time developing this digitally. I have an old Ganesh draft that didnt end up being the one that I printed, picture attached, and I think its minimal quality might make it go well with this image.

Theres more i'd like to do to this design however. I think with there need to be more elements in the image that point towards Herr Starr's storyline.
