Gemini :: Early concept art







Top of the morning to you!!!



It's good to see a little traffic coming through recently. I like it. Keep visiting, and I shall keep the art flow going.



For todays small delight I am going to give you an early piece of concept art I did for Gemini. Pictured here are the 2 characters we first get to see in issue 1; Rumble and Gemini.



Both characters ended up looking quite different in the final book, but there is still something about these designs which I quite like.



In my original idea for Rumble, I thought of him as a UK punk bruiser type of dude who had been genetically enhanced. Like he had taken way too many roids or something. Very aggressive. But then I designed the guys who fight Gemini in the junkyard scene, and they had a sort of punk/gothic vibe about them, so I decided to go a different route with Rumble. He became more of a military experiment gone wrong.



As for Gemini, this here was pretty much the first of about 2000 designs I did for him. I slightly exagerate. But as you can see I was on a completely different path to what we ended up with.



Does this info actually interest anyone?



See you again soon blog!

Huh, I like the original Gemini (not as much as the current mind you...), especially the suction cups on his head and shoes.

Keep up the great stuff!
