Ah Isabelle. Like most of the characters in The Sovereigncy, she is from a RP, though her origins are different here, she’s got special meaning to Cross.
There was actually supposed to be a stand alone ‘photograph’ to go along with this scene, featuring Seb and Maddie standing by the coffin with Jake and Bella almost off camera. Unfortunately we never got around to getting it done.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is one of those rare ‘Cross had an idea and wanted to do it’ scenes. Drawing it first then adding in the dialogue. Kris supplying the dialogue for the last seven panels.
Short and simple, yet still holds some favorite independent panels.
The script called for this press conference to be inside the palace. But I had this awesome image of a city I wanted to use, so outside it went. ~ Cross
Bella at the end there, really enjoyed doing that one. I love emotionally charged images, always hope they come out. ~ Cross Photo reference for the stairs: Deviantart’s faestock
Here Kris thought I should have had Seb’s laughing fit last two more panels. He was right. I should have. ~ Cross
Used the first panel of this scene in one of our promotional post cards.
Oi. So here, Sev’s whiskers/beard. A post-scan addition. Due to a miscommunication of what character was what, they had to be added in photoshop. ~ Cross
This pretty much marks the true beginning of my enjoyment of taking the time for additional panels just for the sake of body language and expression. ~ Cross
My sister likes the couch. Go figure. ~ Cross
I wanted a Bella scene. Kris obliged. ~ Cross Not so much miscommunication on Sev at this point as misunderstanding. ~K

Ah Seb. I’ve missed you. ~Cross

Man SO much stuff in this one. I always get apprehensive when it comes to special effects and the ability to execute them. But this strip actually pleasantly surprised me. Especially with the red energy snake on Missa, and the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
One of the joys of drawing comics to me has always been seeing the writers reaction to a piece. Sometimes you hit it dead on other times you don’t, then others you make the writer geek out. Those times make[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This was one of those strips that really afforded me the opportunity to stretch myself when it comes to emotion and facial expressions. It also allows for a bit of an experiment in seeing how well if at all does[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I think the cell is improving. Oh and those giant crystals, I usually ask Kris what colors some things should be, didn’t with those but turned out my gut was right to go with red (Serenity is represented in red)[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Chapter: The Sovereigncy One
Really had NO idea how I was going to do the visual part of the explanation on this one. This my people is what we call a happy accident. ~Cross
Enjoyed figuring out how to make a long two person conversation visually interesting. And favorite panel/shot? Third to last panel. ~Cross
Another one of my characters made it in! Neph. Finally. ~Cross
