TAO BOY AND ENGINE! The Cover Roughs!

The most fun I've had in comics! Drawing three issues of TAO BOY AND ENGINE (written by the talented Bret Bernal) was a real blast, as the fantasy tale involved wonderful characters, imaginative settings, and crazy creatures! It also pushed my artistic boundaries, as any challenging assignment should! Here are a bunch of my sketches done in preparation for creating the captivating covers for the three-issue epic!
