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! Click below to enlarge!

for the cover, all spotlighting the 
imprisoned Tao Boy, and his
dismantled robot partner.

in this rough ink sketch!

get closer to the final, finished cover!

by other details, in order to fully develop the
figure!
