The Ghost who never was

One of these character studies that Gaby usually does. This one is for a ghost woman who appears in the corner of a panel in the first page of the book, to be finally covered by a caption text.

Spare a coin, missus?

Chris and the Sheriff Foley

Another Chris Luna color sketch, and the sheriff  of  Crooksville, Sheriff Foley, a character that appears in issue #2. We don’t know his forename. Paul, maybe. Yes, he looks like a Paul.

Chris Luna in all her smokey glory

Sheriff Foley... the weasely side of the law!

First illustration…

…we rejected. This was the very first color illustration done by Gaby, before attempting the pages.  It had the feeling we wanted for the series, but we felt we were missing something. “She’s ugly”, we agreed. “Do you really want to draw an entire miniseries about an ugly girl?”, I asked him.

“Why not?”, Gaby shaked his head. “You said Luna wasn’t the big boobs babe of the month”.

The Veil, very first illustration

“Right, but she scares me more than the dead in the background”, I replied.

Then, Gaby kicked my ass and redraw Chris Luna’s face.

Ashley Wood!

We were all “Ooh, wow” when we saw The Veil cover that Maestro Ashley Wood did. It’s also the first drawing about the characters done by other artist than Gaby (don’t count me and my rough scribbles on bar napkins).  When you see these interpretations on your characters, you feel strange (your child in other hands!), but overall you feel amazed at it. And when it comes from Ashley Wood…  you know, all jaws dropping and “Ooh, wow”.
