Skullkickers Win The Eisner?

Okay, not exactly…

The Eisner Awards are the comic book industry\’s highest honour.

This year, at the 2010 Eisner\’s, Image comic\’s Popgun V3 won the award for \’Best Anthology\’. Since Popgun 3 included a Skullkickers short story called \’Interlude\’, that inadvertently means the Skullkickers are Eisner Award winners!

or, more accurately…

Skullkickers

Exploding from the Eisner Award-winning Popgun anthology in to their own series!

I think it\’s got a nice ring to it. What do you think? 🙂


Character Designs – Part 5

Who is this guy Edwin sketched up?

Hmm… guess you’ll have to wait and see. 🙂


Character Designs – Part 4

As Edwin came on board the Skullkickers book, he utilized Chris’ designs but gave them his own spin.

These were Edwin’s first attempts at capturing the feel of the dwarf and human, and they were almost dead-on. By the time he got a few pages in to drawing the actual comic he was really cooking and hasn’t looked back since.

These two sketch pages by Chris Stevens really hit the mark in terms of character expression and solid form.


Character Designs – Part 2

Two more character design sketch pages by Chris Stevens from when we first started working on the comic series.
