Characters from Here Come the Space Marines

A lot of my posts in the past year have been in reference to my new book "Here Come the Space Marines".

Before I even wrote one word of the novel, I was experimenting with characters, scenarios and ideas through my digital art drawings. The previous posts were filled with them. Some depict scenes from the book, while others are purely concept pieces.

I spent a lot of time with the characters, developing their individual looks and styles. Much like my last post about my Literotica characters, I made character strips for most of the characters in the story. If you have read the book, you may have already formed a picture in your mind of what the characters looked like in each stage of the story which takes place over a seven year span. If you have yet to read the book, these character strips as well as the concept pieces from the previous mentioned posts might entice you. You can find the book here, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XLPFLSM
