This page was one of the most complicated ones I've drawn in a long while, but I'm very happy with it. It first because complicated when I read the description of this panel in Adam Prosser's script:
Large panel. Cy in the foreground, running towards the camera, into the jungle. Behind him we see Antonio being thrown off by Carniciero, as the anglo struggles to his feet. Behind that, we see a helicopter zooming over the village, and the xurupe fleeing in dismay. It has machine guns and is opening fire on Cy.
On top of this, I knew I would have to include other details, like the placement of all the huts in the village, and the fact that Cy-Boar had his robotics disrupted and couldn't run. After drawing several preliminary sketches that I wasn't happy with, I decided to build a scale model with action figures. Here is one of the photos that didn't get used:
Some of the figures I used were:
Helm of Xaanm from the "Seventh Kingdom" series of animal warrior figures is the perfect stand in for Cy-Boar
Teemto Pagalies (Star Wars Ep. 1) stands in for Anahi
Red Star (GI Joe 25th Anniversary Figure) standing in for Carniciero
Fire Fly (GI Joe 25th Anniversary Figure) standing in for Anahi's Dad
and a Polly Pocket car stands in for that black sedan.
I don't usually use references like this, but I was very pleased with how this one turned out…
