Description
From left to right: Ren Raz, Diana, and Cillian.Okay so I decided to upload this because if I didn't I would pick at it for the rest of my existence. I know, I know. 'But where's the background?' you ask. Half way through I liked how it looked and imagined it as a cover to a graphic novel or something and then 'BAM!!', I decided to leave it as is for now. But I do intend on adding a background eventually. At the moment I'm too distracted by whether I go with overlay or soft light to focus on anything else in this pic.
Also I know I could have cleaned up the lines more. shaddap.
These are three central characters in my story, Dirty. As a brief summary, the story centers on Diana, who has become the main subject in a documentary about the Big Waste; a large wasteland that is the result of a nuclear war located in the southern part of the U.S. populated mostly by the poor and immigrants that can't afford to live in the major cities to the north.
All of their designs have somewhat changed since I first created them but I think I'm getting a sense of what I want now.
All characters depicted belong to me, .

i absolutely love this! especially the lack of of background. the flatness of the background, or lack thereof, further accentuates the depth of the characters.
ps. you are awesome.

Your story reminds me a lot about a town in Russia that, during the Soviet union, was converted into a town to build a factory... legit story, these people are there to this day with a broken down nuclear facility that is poisoning their rivers, and at least half the citizens in this town have cancer but the government is trying to cover up that they even exist.....
I love that your story has a bit of truth and message behind it, both futuristically, apocalyptically, and of course how people are affected or swept over by politics..... it's so obvious in your characters' faces, I would love to see more!

I wanted to add depth to my characters and their world as opposed to my early ideas where Diana was just a bounty hunter doing "cool stuff". I felt like if I gave her world a bit of texture it would bring about some revelations in her character and force growth so that's what I did.
That's also why I draw them how I do. They enjoy things and moments but despair finds a way to stick around.
Thank you for seeing past the surface of my work as well as giving me an idea with the story of that Russian town.

I love seeing your art of Diana, and I love the others as well
The story sounds really great, are you planning to do something with it, like a graphic novel?

Thank you. I enjoy drawing her. And yes I'd like to eventually make a graphic novel but right now I'm focused on ironing out the story and starting on the comic. I just don't want to rush in to it like I did my last comic.

This doesn't need a background. Looks good just the way it is! Keep up the amazing work mate!

Thanks! Appreciate the comment! I was considering a background as an alternative image by itself. Not really as a finished version to this one. But I think I may agree with you.

That's what I have found with some drawings. The characters are better left to tell the story themselves
