Under the bridge.

I wanted to create a character who was physically imposing. His suit is ruffled and his tie isn't straight. Again I wanted to create the impression of a character that despite his outward respectability wasn't entirely trustworthy. 

 As I've said before I like clean lines. I don't like to clutter pieces with too much that distracts the eye. One thing that bothers me about some graphic artists is they render these wonderful frames, that while beautiful to look at, tend to slow the story down.

The background was based on a section of the High Line in New York (urban regeneration scheme lower Manhattan) , but I thought it could stand in for a dodgy underpass.  

Images were scanned from my sketchbook and touched up in Illustrator and Photoshop.
