The cover pencils and layout for issue #5. This was the most simple but it was probably one of the most fun. It gave me the opportunity to draw a lot oc characters I haven’t been able to before now, like Pyott & Pruitt. The art nouveau frame was something I created on a whim while doing the pencils.
This is the pencils and layout of Issue #3’s cover. Generally, after I have a layout I’m happy with, I scan it into the computer and then blow it up to actual drawing sise, which in this case was 11″ X 17″. Then I would very loosely and lightly trace my initial layout on the page as a very rough, and I do mean rough, underdrawing for my pencils.
This is the Pencils and Layout of the cover for Issue #2. As you can see I switched the two versions of Myles on either side. I did this, so that Myles in his gentlemanly attire would have the more prominent portion of his apparatus. I did the layout while I was out and about and mistakenly thought it was on the other side.
Rosejack’s full name is Catalina Alexandra Rosejack, however, no one calls her by her given names. Her father was a wealthy Scottish merchant and former pirate. Her mother was a Caribbean spanish beauty much younger that he. Rosejack is already a legend when the story begins, with a long list of adventures, conquests and stories told about her. She defies all convention, ignoring the station of women as willfully as she does common decency. She loves risks and danger, using everything in her arsenal to achieve her goal weather it be her blades or her abundant sexuality. When the story begins she has been working for Myles for a few years. It is worth her while, as Myles is constantly under attack and be provides her all the best weapons and gadgets a girl can ask for.
Rosejack was one of those characters that just sort of leaped into existence in the mind and just up and roared when you put pen to paper. I always knew red was going to be her color. With a name like ‘Rosejack’ could it be anything else?
This is Rosejack’s least used weapon, her throwing daggers. She has a number of these hidden in various places on her person.
