The unseen paintings of War Dog
August 27, 2009 » Illustration » Comments 0

Recently I have been able to finish two digital paintings of an imaginary comic I have been forming since high school. It’s about a race of people who are born with the ability to warp, control and even produce gravity. However, these people are outcast and only a few of them can activate and control their powers. Most people believe they are legendary and the creation of wives tales.
After being inspired by Mike Orduna, I started these paintings about two years ago. Working on them every now and then, I completed them about a year ago. The two characters depicted are Jay and Link who are loosely based on my best friend and me. Jay and Link are mixed breeds (and unknown to them are decedents of a special linage) and are part of an elite and secretive military squad.
An my comic legends has it, this elusive race originated from demons, which might very well be true (still working out the details). Jenny, who is depicted here, is a direct descendent of this race and is of special linage. As the love interest, and later the femme fatale of the comic, Jenny is enticed by the ultimate villain of this story (who is still unnamed). He is able to activate and enhance her power. Alas, Jenny’s powers are enhanced beyond her and the villain’s control. She becomes an uncontrollable beast, or something to that effect.
