Preliminary Sketches

Before Duke had thrown his first round house kick or Mai Daisi had flashed the first gam, there were sketches... many, many sketches, in which Joseph and I worked out what the characters would look like on the page.
My first view of Duke. I was in love!

Color looks great, but didn't fit my comedy noir vision!
Mai Daisi's first appearance.


This really captured Duke and Mai's chemistry!


Loved the toothy grill...Duke looks a bit decrepit.

Isn't Mai one sexy houndette?

I really like this version of the rescue.


The car hauler jump sequence.



The many faces of Duke.
