Inktober 2017, #6, The Metabaron v.2

During last year's Inktober, I drew the Metabaron from Alexandro Jodorowsky's Incal and "The Metabarons" series, but that rendition of him fell short in so many ways. First off, he looked like a complete schlep, evoking the image of Herman Munster rather than the indomitable mercenary from the comics. The proportions were all wrong, the expression bland and ... well, you get the idea.  (If you want to look at this insult to the character, you can find it here: panspec.deviantart.com/art/The…)

It was with all that in mind that I decided to revamp him and finally get an image of the character that I could live with. I still think there's some things to twiddle in it - mainly refinement of hatching - but  maybe I'll leave that for next year.
