Hey, it\’s the same nasty guy from that earlier post again.
Who is this guy?
Wait and see. 🙂
Artist Edwin Huang is interviewed on comic news super site Newsarama about his big break in to professional comics with Skullkickers. Check out the article to gain a greater appreciation of Edwin\’s immense talent and to see samples of his earlier portfolio work.
I was interviewed by The Fabler about Skullkickers and the work I do at UDON. The article includes some exclusive sneak peeks at Skullkickers pages, new background info of how the series came about and my vision of fantasy hijinks.
Here it is:

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? 🙂
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.
Two more character design sketch pages by Chris Stevens from when we first started working on the comic series.
Here are two pages of Chris Stevens’ original character sketches once we moved past the Popgun stories and headed in to development of the regular comic:
More sketches coming soon.
