A little late with this wip post than I intended but here he is after a couple days on an evening sculpting. hopefully he is recongnisable as the character that he is intended to be, and that is Blacksad the private detective. Written by Juan Diaz Canales and illustrated by Juanjo Guarnido, Blacksad is a beautifully realised graphic novel. The characters are all portrayed as various animals but what makes it especially nice is the facial expressions that the artist uses. Highly recommended if your not familiar with the character, check it out at all good comic book stores.

Firsty can you recommend a good comic book store ?

Secondly I've not heard of this which means Kinnon isn't doing his job,but I had a look online and found some info.Good sculpt so far,but there are still shades of Gary there.

The books are indeed fabulous, they had all the French language editions in a comic book store on my recent trip to Annecy, hope they hurry up and translate them for me!!!

Nice sculpt, squire!

Also think, personally, that the collars of his overcoat would improve this sculpt, Ian. Just my two-pennarth, he's such a dynamic character.

I was planning on doing his overcoat as well, as I think that it is part of his character. It looks cooler too.
