Space Corps

Here is a concept sketch for a character in an comic I've been thinking about doing. The series would be an analogy for the island hopping campaign in World War II, except instead of islands there would be planets. There is a lot of inspiration to draw from. I'm in no rush, but I've always wanted to do a comic book and this would be a fun project to attempt.

    As one of your favorite "insiders" I would be interested to learn which planet you'd be hopping to first. Inquiring minds want to know!
    Great concept! Keep it going!

    Hey Dad,

    Just working on concepts at this point. The story is rather vague.

    Hey Gannon, its Travis. I heard you and tom talking about that comic, and the idea is really cool. Hope that works its way out! did you post the work-out decks somewhere and i just cant find them? There's nothing to do at home and id love to run in circles and do star jumps to pass the time.

    Love the scetch... you should make the guys abdominal area look more buff... he's got a huge chest... it needs to hold it up somehow... and make him look tougher :)

    Travis - Thanks for the comments on the drawing. It should be a fun project. I'm planning on posting the workouts in the next day or so. I have to check with my friend Tony if it's ok. He helped develop the workouts, so I want to make sure he is fine with me publishing them here.

    Killroy -- Good point. I need to mean him up a bit. I'll keep working on some concepts. I thought it would be fun to make him a robot -- steely, cold, -- the opposite of warm and fuzzy. I just need to tweak the design some. Thanks for the feedback.

    Travis -- Everything is posted now. I'll tweak it later as I think we may have adjusted it in spots. This should get you through the week:
