So I've decided to try and push forward with my comic Darkness Within, you'll notice I've replaced the tattoos with glowing veins..

Old one:


I am definitely going to stick to this idea with the veins I think, what do you think? And I'm still trying to find a name for my character.. And I don't mean like "red-vein guy" or "emo dude" I'm going to steer from the usual superhero thing and make my hero more real. Like more believable ;) Might call him Jack or something...

Let me know what you all think of my concept.. He's almost ready, and then I will map out all the pages and begin making this comic :D

Dude, This is some Intense stuff man! Lovin' the face and red veins idea. Such a dynamic stance, and really great Glow affect! Love it man nicely done.

I was taking a look at some of your other concepts, I love the style too, but to be honest it looked a bit much like you were trying too hard to give it the goofy affect, which I totally Dig! But this one looks much more natural and fluid than the older guy you did. The Angles are much more natural and complement the character more.

The white eyes are a MUST! They're so damn cool!

So overall;

Vision: 5 stars man, insane!
Originality: 4.5 stars, great pose!
Technique: 10 stars if possible :P Awesome style bro.
Impact: 5 stars, such an itensity to it man it's really eye catching!

Nicely done man! Keep up the great work! :)

Wow dude very nice. This is far more comic looking than your regular style. Is this a permanent style change or a style you will lock down for the comic? A name like Jack is good it think. You are right in thinking that a name like that makes him more real. Steve or Dave, Jack or John. The veins are cool, yet I can't help thinking they are a little cliche (don't ask me where from it's just a feeling, sorry) This style I think is definitely a goer for the direction you are taking this comics. Its a little more dark and can be taken more seriously I think than your older style. Don't get me wrong your usual style is great. But I think this will lock you down into the comic store and feel like home a bit more. I like the sketchy style of the line work. It has more passion and emotion in it. I think if you push this style you will more easily be able to communicate the character and what he will go through.

Vision: Great

Originality: Fair (the glowing veins i'm not sure about)

Technique: Fantastic. I love the new direction in style. Be weary about loosing all the highlights though, Don't make everything so diffused. Try using highlights to your advantage to help accentuate areas of interest. I can appreciate this is a night scene though.

Impact: Different from your other image of "Jack" Last time it was strong and forceful like he is standing up for something. This feels more like you have caught him on a CCTV camera or something. Like he is on the run. Good over all impact though.

Name him Carl.
He just... He looks like a Carl.
<.<
Plus... I prefer the veins to the tattoos. Makes it seem a little more 'grungy' instead of all magicky.
