OK, here are some more A3 sketches (just to get the character designs right.)  The Demon fellow's armour's from a book on the making of Gladiator so I won't use that on the final piece.

Nickillus:Love seeing your thought processes in the mill, Will.  You show all the early workings you want - please. Great to see you back and seemingly at full speed again. I wouldn't say full speed yet, but I'm getting there.  Thanks for the comment Nick, I'm glad you're here to cheer us all on!  Oh, I must ...

Lusion:Great sketches Will!! So much energy and it is strange how I work in similar way to you in my sketchbooks. I will upload some soon. Are these A5 books also? I am indeed looking forward to more of yours. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Lusion!  Good to see someone is still lurking around.  I like your Mecha work, get some more up ...

Here's the final group (on the right) of weird, scrawny fellows. I have some larger sketches I'll put in here later.

More of the satanic-looking knights and their gear.

And here's some more sketches; this time I'm trying to design a monster (some kind of demon).  And also some satanic, evil knights.

OK I'm not expecting any feedback until I get on with more of this stuff but if you're about - then hello to you and thanks for looking at my work.  These are just compositional scrawls, I have much more to add.

Thanks nickybeats and cheers fabledgoat!  Nice to see your true form at last!  Yes I wasn't too chuffed about the news, many thanks for your kind words. I'm having a bit of trouble getting the energy I need at the moment; I picked up a virus whilst undergoing radiotherapy but I can't use that as an excuse more than once so ...

Well done TAS on winning last week's Challenge. This one's shaping up nicely;  we'll see if something pops into my head.

Well done TAS!   A great picture.
