Anthology

Teamed up with 4 classmates to pencil out a story for an anthology collection published by our school.  It is titled, The Dragon King Tournament, written by Ken House.  It revolves around Olive, a pink afro-haired video game character who fights her way through a myriad of opponents and obstacles for a very important reason.  I was assigned part 4 of the story; it is the showdown (in the girl's washroom) between Olive and her evil 'twin' counterpart, Violet, a la evil Ryu/Ken/Sakura from SF or orochi Yashiro/Shermie/Chris from KOF. 

Jedi Fight

Penciled a 2 page action sequence featuring a Jedi warrior fighting 2-3 battle droids.  Missing 2nd page.  Will upload it later.

Avengers

Penciled an 8 page sample script from The Avengers.  Scene is a showdown between Magneto, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Janet van Dyne and Hank Pym.

Character Design 3

Individual turn-arounds.  In this Post-Apocalyptic future, my characters are advanced infantry super soldiers, genetically engineered through recombinant DNA technology.  They also all have personal twinned hover drone "action computers".

Head%Girl:   Spliced with avian and feline DNA.  Enhanced protein structure, muscle flexibility.  Optimized for hand-to-hand combat, Jungle Ops, in addition to unconventional biological warfare.  Prone to seizures.

RE:/books:  Spliced with chameleon and elephant genes.  Battle Processor, primed for Desert/Artic Ops.  Genius intellect housed in enlarged external grey matter exo-skeletal arm, for Heuristics.  A bio-synth, his cybernetics run on alcohol and constantly expel excess 'bio-slurry'.  Is a paraplegic.

Bjöfulsins Gründsdottir (Gill-Boy):  Spliced with piranha and ungulate DNA.  Acclimated for Aquatics Ops.  A munitions and explosives specialist; ideal for amphibious sabotage.  Superfluous volume/mass needed for buoyancy control and resilience under extreme external pressures in atmosphere.  Lacks human vocal chords; requires human/electronic communications interface.

Panda Balls Baby Boomer:  Spliced with starfish and bat DNA.  Optimized for black ops reconnaissance, infiltration, and assassination.  Interrogation/coercion specialist.  Cartilaginous fibres instead of endoskeletal bone; does not fracture on the battle field.  Suffers from Werner syndrome, a form of progeria.

To make a fool of yourself in the autumn woods just leave your love at home and walk in dying colour knowing the reds and yellows of her absence, letting the wind unpick your mind as it eases the leaves from their branches.  (Sketchbook Assignment, putting pictures to words)
sketches (been watching Damien Rice, Farscape, and The Tribe)
