Crosstech - Outland Monster

This is a quick study I did last year of some of the more frightening monsters in the eventual Graphic Novel: Crosstech. It gives away a little of the storyline, but I won't say just yet how much this creature exposes (no pun intended).

Crosstech Environment Sketches

These are a couple of shots of some of the scenery for the graphic novel Crosstech. I wanted to make a post-apocolyptic look, and would like to re-imagine these early designs to include a few more futuristic tones to make the robots seem like more natural inhabitants.

This last one is a scene shot of the discovery of the last human. I mimicked a certain pose to make it clear that she is being reborn into this world, and used a soft blue-green to show that it is not a corpse, but a living thing inside of the sphere. The blood red was also used for that purpose, but also to hint at her future.

Crosstech - Character Sketches

This is concept art for the characters of a graphic novel in process called Crosstech. The robot is named Cross, and the young girl has no name, so I call her "the last human". The story is set in a time far in the future, where robots inherited the earth and humans were the stuff of legends... until the unfortunate robot Cross finds the last human being on earth, preserved in a secret underground laboratory. Cross and "the last human" must discover what happened to the human race, and for what purpose this child was saved. It's a story I'd love to expand when I have more time.
