Deadly Sins - other parties

GOD DAMN IT THIS POST WENT LIVE WITHOUT TEXT!

(But I think you got the gist, haha :D)

Basically, with the sheet above I was trying to formulate my "bible" of coloring choices for Giulia. I was imagining our book almost like Batman:Black Glove - J.H. Williams did some mad stuff there with every character being drawn is slightly different style (also damn - for the last million years I was sure that that book was colored by Dave Stewart, and I vividly remember that one article praising his coloring in the book... But it was actually just Williams himself? WTF is this Berenstein Bears memory glitch?!!

UPD - no Berenstein Bears. Just internet failing to credit the colorist!) 

I'm not sure how good these attempts came through to the end, but Giulia definitely had a bunch of stuff to keep track on 24/7. I tried to color most of little things like freckles, hair and scars in the lineart myself to make it easier for her, but we both kept missing panels with Dapper's makeup! It was maddening to find a few of those in the very last days of editing the book :D

(I'm still somewhat sad that father Threadgill got scalped so fast and I only got to draw his mane in a few panels).

It's very funny to me for normal sheriff Todd looks here - and how immediately after that I turned him into "fat skeleton":

Pale Horse - the fearsome Comanche warrior who was actually a white dude kidnapped as a child - was quite hard to nail down precisely. He was coming out too brutal, so we tried to tone him down, make older and kinder, but still scary in required moments. I really dig his huge nose and some of the panels we put him in!

(and this is a photo of the real-life Pale Horse's prototype)

And I think that's it with the designs! But we still have loads and loads of pages and videos to go through ;)
