Granger and Samarol scene

Done some more research looking into boxing fights and things like that, wanted one more scribble at a sketch before i start working on a chosen idea in more detail, kind of like this sketch although im not sure if it has enough energy i want in the piece.

Granger and Samarol fight scene thumbnails

Some quick sketches to start with some ideas for the next painting i need to do, its a scene in the book where granger is almost in a battle arena where he has to fight various oponents, what i want to show is where granger nocks the helmet of the samarol character revealing the bare human skull underneath

Hookmen Boat scene wip 2

Some more progress with the boat scene, blocked in most of the buildings now, more happy with it and feels like its getting somewhere, Ive also thrown in some of the Hookmen.. which need some serious work, drawing people small with a pose that reads from a distance and showing character is so hard! Next i want to work on a few of the buildings in the background, to try and show some of the constant construction going on in the world to escape the rising waters, possibly some cranes on the top of the buildings.

Hookmen boat scene wip

Started working on some thumbnails for the Hookmen boat scene where the Hookmen come to collect Granger. Wasn't too happy with the thumbnails i did, couldn't get down what i was visualising in my head. Then i came across a really nice image that would fit the scene perfectly as a starting point, I'm not sure if the image was of somewhere in china but it had Chinese lanterns scattered around everywhere. After a quick painting over and adding the 3d boat in the scene i think its starting to shape up nicely.. just need to make the buildings a bit more rough looking and botch built. Also the Hookmen are pretty important, i think i might have one guy stepping of the boat onto the steps then a few at the back of the boat or something.

Just a quick paint over of the boat concept, just thought it would be nice to see it in some water... probably wont use this at all but was nice to do..

Hookmen boat

Concept for the Hookmen boat, from the thumbnails i went with a mixture of number 1 and 6 and came with this small rusty old fisherman's boat. I first blocked out a 3d model then took some renders to paint over, not sure if I'm going to work on the back view yet... might just do other orthographic views so anyone can see how the rest of the boat looks.

Some thumbnails for the boat that the Hookmen arrive on to capture Granger. I imagine the boat to be more of a smaller looking fisherman's boat, all rusty and quite old looking. leaning towards 1,2 and 6.
