As I usually do when I
work with artists, I try to provide images of some things I have in
mind. I went online and did a search for “Bo-stick vs. Katana,”
and I found a few youtube videos of martial artists engaging in
fights with these two weapons. Then, I paused at a few cool moments
and took screen-shots of the image. Here is an example of an image I
liked (one of the eight images I sent to John). I've also taken some
of the original Solar Echoes artwork by Jay Darnell and made a few
sloppy alterations with photoshop so I could make the Omul look like
he was wielding a katana. Of course, the final poses drawn by John
Fell will be different than these, but this is almost like a
“story-board” piece of preliminary concept art to help visualize
a few things. I can't wait to see these two in battle, and I'm
excited to see what John does with the poses. Making an Omul look
like an agile ninja-type warrior with a katana is going to be a
challenge, but it's going to be really cool!
