"The Lord's Men" is the title of the graphic novel series that I'm working on right now. Currently, my only drawing is the sketch I just put up, but that should be changing shortly. For "The Lord's Men" I decided to use a different drawing style, my own unique drawing style (as opposed to a manga/anime style). I figure if I can't draw cartoons and I'm not Japanese I might as well stop trying to draw like other people. This sketch took me about an hour or so to finish, with shading and everything. I'd like to do a close-up sketch like this for every main character, then do a sort of "group shot" with each main character having a certain pose, etc. Well, yeah, I hope you enjoy the sketch, because I have a feeling most of you will enjoy the writing.


Anyways, here's an excerpt from "The Lord's Men."


"I have always believed I am special...I should have died the night I was born...Since that day, I've been this close to death countless times...Choking, drowning, suffocating, falling, burning...But never dying...I guess the first sign of what I was came when I was little...Six other kids trapped me under a small dome...They had been playing with it, and decided to see how long I could go without air in the dome...They were all bigger than me, and all six sat on top of the dome, holding me down...I don't like tight spaces.

I saw white and my mind went blank...I went into a berserker rage...My blood was on fire...Though there wasn't room in the dome for me to sit straight, I stood up and hurled the dome away from me...The other kids lay five feet away, where I had thrown them...Two were unconscious, the other four lay moaning nearby...Nobody asked me if I was alright...The children didn't know how I had gotten out, and the parents didn't realize anything was amiss...But by then I had started to see...

My calling...His calling...To become one of His..."
