Maxx

I've always loved the Maxx.  He's big, purple, muscular, lumpy, and always smiling, what's not to love?  This comic had an ultra-stylized look with amazing painting style.  I was thinking of the light throughout the whole process and I think it has helped pull the whole composition better.  Unknowingly, I put this guy in a working triangle composition.

 
Draft 1:  The rough + silhouette

 Draft 2:  Pencil rough

Draft 3:  Working on a much more dynamic style of inking.

Draft 4:  The black and white render.

Draft 5:  Trying to work with a more realistic color gradient in this round than the last few paintings.  I'm pretty happy with the final.
