80's David Bowie to play Volt


For some reason I keep drawing Volt as Bowie now grrrrrr I think zee is on volt sketch duty from now on before I start drawing volt in full Labyrinth getup dancing around with a load of goblins singing "dance magic dance" ah memories
anyway more less bowified sketches tomorrow (maybe)

and in other news Ive finally got back into Snatcher and it really is the stuff of legend, apart from Hotel Dusk a while ago I've never played an adventure game quite like it.
The game feels so fresh despite the limitations of the hardware creating a generally ingrossing world with so many levels of depth that many games lack today.

Lady Owl





Lady Owl is the cool headed espionage expert of the team (aka spy) and helps Volt by gaining intelligence stealing documents and picking the pockets of overly gulible buisness men who've had a little too much to drink at the siren Hilton.
Originally Owl's was designed for a completly different comic that I never quite started for a manga short competition, The original concept for the story was an Indiana Jones style character that jetted around the universe finding alien tombs and artifacts (yep indiana jones in space), anyway that didn't really work out but I really liked the character.

the long road to the starting line starts here


Ok finally after a month or two of being a bum and working Siren is finally back on the agenda (well until Mario galaxy comes out).
anyway i would like to talk about what Siren is all about and go into the backstory a little evetually but for now I'm just going to be a lazy bum and post a load of crappy sketches of mine.
and I apoligise for my writting with some luck this should all make sense someday

first off Id like to introduce you to the stars of the show Volts crew the EX-arms
Being the big Ghost in the shell geek that I am I really wanted Volt to be the leader of a team much like section 9 in GITS.
During the war that precedes the Siren story The Ex-Arms were one of the most respected and highly sort after group of mercenaries in the world getting involoved in all sorts of espionage, assasination and inteligence gathering.
However times have changed and the organisation Volt and his comrades belonged to ARM-12 is now long forgotten but the skills of spies and gunmen are still very much in demand in a city as corrupt as Siren.
