Needles to say we've been busy…

Curio & Co. - Mantagon Model Sheets for Spaceman Jax Project

I've been busy – Here are some of the work I've done on Spaceman Jax since the last post:

Some of the inked and color material that will be used in the model sheets that Curio & Co. will be releasing at our next trade show.

Above is a snap shot of the work in progress for the Mantagon General - Yes, I'll post some of the color work on this mollusk soon ;)

Red has been the character that gave me the biggest challenge from the whole Spaceman Jax cast.  The character design had to be a balance of attractive, capable, tomboy, fearless, young woman.  But, I got it! The design is done.

As I mentioned on a previous post I was going to make some minor changes on Star Cowboy, here are some of the pose sketches that reflect those changes.  Namely the star on the buckle, and a leaner chest.

Stay tuned more to come as always…  

Curio & Co.'s Mantagon for Spaceman Jax

I've been working on more Mantagon Private sketches for the Spaceman Jax animation project.

Our Curio & Co. project list is bottomless pit; do any of you know where we can get some minions?

Curio & Co.'s Spaceman Jax Character Designs - The Mantagon General

I've been working on the entire set of character model sheets for the Curio & Co.'s Spaceman Jax animate show; 95% of the designs are done and now it's just the issue doing the leg work.

1. Finish all of the poses for all of the characters.
2. Complete the model sheets.
3. Finish pitch package for the agent.
4. Polish model sheet designs for the upcoming trade show release (set of prints).

During this week I took pencil to the paper to do some pose designs for the characters as well as ironing out one last character that keeps on stepping on my toes.  But it's just a matter of time… I'm almost there to have that final design…  I really enjoy having paper and pencil to work with, it so much more rewording to see a pile a drawing rather than a hard-drive.  But, I can't imagine doing what I do without a computer and a Cintiq.

Here a just some of the pose sketches for the Mantagon General.

RT Robot Model Sheet for Curio & Co.'s Spaceman Jax

I've been working on the poses that will be part of the final model sheets for the Spaceman Jax Character Design set.  All of the Characters for the Spaceman Jax animated TV show are fully designed, and we are well on the way to have almost of the characters model.

Curio & Co. is scheduled to have the model sheets available as prints for our next trade show.

This character is definitely not to be trusted…

Red Cocept Sketches for Curio & Co.'s Spaceman Jax

For our Curio & Co.'s Spaceman Jax animation project – A version of Red that didn't cut the mustard. The design just didn't match the character attitude. But! I think there's an other character here that may join the Spaceman Jax universe.

Mantagons Concept Sketches for Curio & Co's - Spaceman Jax

I was looking for some Spaceman Jax designs for Red and… I bumped into these concept sketches for the Mantagons I did in 2010.  At the time we brought on Luca Fattore to work on the development of some of the characters and help to set the style of the project.  It really was a great experience working collaboratively. Luca and I were on design and the Kirstie from the content side.  I had previously done some initial work on the characters: Jax, Dekkin, and the Mantagons, which we passed on to Luca and within a couple of month of back and forth of design revisions we had Jax and the Mantagons locked in.

Since then we developed more characters and other products of the Curio & Co. universe, and also published a total of 5 books one of which features Jax as a main character: Spaceman Jax - Through the Mantagon Minefield. It's been quite a ride so far…

Time flies!

So many projects to realize such little time.

Back to work…

Continuing design on Curio & Co.'s Spaceman Jax
