New Banner

I thought of a new layout for my site banner. I have the 7 main characters here (no actual historical characters though...)

Page 1

First page of the Mexican Samurai!

This page introduces a trio of American gunrunners on their way to deliver weapons to Carranza  who was in Sonora at the time. 

Nogales is a city on the Arizona (US)/Sonora (Mexico) border. The trio is going through the Sierra Madre Occidental in order to bypass border guards.

Mexican Samurai meets Cactus Face

Final version of Mexican Samurai meets Cactus Face title page.

Jenna Sanders helped me with the idea of cactus face, but I cannot give away the details on why this cowboy has a cactus face just yet!

Mexican Samurai vs. Cactus Face

Here's a new title sequence without the writing effects. 

Orson Character Concept

ORSON

Orson spent his whole life fighting in the streets. At the age of 17, he became a world renowned boxer. He was able to take on opponents even larger than him. His record was 33 KOs out of 33 matches. Despite being such a strong fighter, he was known for his compassion and optimism. His manager decided it would be a good idea for him to fight a kangaroo for a promotional event. Orson couldn't hit the kangaroo though. He had realized that he could not harm such a creature. The kangaroo kicked him  so hard that he fell on his back and bruised his spine. His career ended with 33 wins and 1 loss. 

Out of a job, he became a bodyguard for a train. There he met Gamble and Basil and has been there greatest ally ever since. 

Group Concept Shot

Cecilia, the Goat, Azael, and Gamble (from left to right). 

I believe this is the first time I've drawn Azael's goat. It belonged to his former master and is the reason

he was known as the Goat Samurai. Azael similarly is nicknamed the Goat Swordsman within Mexico.

Basil Frost Character Concept

BASIL FROST

Basil is a mysterious, cynical friend of Gamble and Orson. The three of them make an interesting team. Basil is the realist and oftentimes will find solitary places to hang out rather than spend time with his friends. He is a long shot, with sniping abilities that trump any other person in all of North America. It is said that he used to be a lawman of some sort in Texas. His past has not been disclosed to either Gamble or Orson. Yet they all trust each other with bonds as strong as brothers. Despite being solitary, it is clear that he is loyal and that he deeply respects his friends. (age 40ish)

Cecilia Character Concept

CECILIA

Like Gamble, she is very emotionally charged, often regarding things with a lot of optimism. She also has a social sweetness about her that gives her ease in talking to anyone she meets. She also has good focus (unlike Gamble) when planning or working on her machines. She is a romantic by heart, fighting feelings for Azael and awaiting her dream lover. Ever since she was a child, she wanted to go on an adventure. Her father and her lived in Germany til she was 13. They then moved to the small Mexican border town that Azael lived in. (Age 18)

Gamble Character Concept

Gamble is a contradiction. He is a man of strong protective loyalty in regards to his friends, yet at the same time a womanizer who can’t commit to women. In regards to protectiveness, he rivals Delphine, in his fierce bonds he feels with his brothers. His loud and confident attitude contrasts against Azael’s silent demeanor. He has a soft spot in his heart for animals. He is also trigger happy and often very reactive to his emotions when he gets heated. (Age 28)

More Old Pictures

Just thought I'd show some of the original animatic since I don't have any new work done on it today. This is the last 20 or so scenes. I need to learn how to post a flash video one of these days, haha.
