Damned Dirty... Vampires?

It's been too long since I posted here, but the POPX team hasn't been idle. Gene, Ian and I have all been plugging away, slowly producing some great (or so I humbly believe) interplanetary adventure.

As evidence of our diligent toil, here's a pencilled panel from Issue #2, featuring one of the lost planet Xylos' more nightmarish lifeforms – baylocs, or four-armed vampire gorillas.

This panel is a marvelous example of Gene's skill and imagination. I really love how he made the baylocs look credible, with a variety of naturalistic poses and some very expressive body language.

I mean, it's easy for me to write "Hawke and Odyri come across a large group of vampire gorillas with bat wings," it's another thing entirely to make that scene work visually and also seem somehow believable.

Fortunately, our Mister Gonzales is more than up to the task.
