Kzo - Tomb Raider

[Kzo]

Hi everyone!!!
I thought i'll have the time to do this one but i don't think i'll be able to finish it :( Anyway i had some fun.

I wanted a good mix of knowledge and strength for this character, so i made a middle aged guy:

i like the 8 and 9

i worked more on faces:

In the same time i imagined a story, taking place in a fantasy world with a huuuuuuuuuge canyon. But nobody flies in this canyon, the winds are deadly foes as they push you right towards the rock-faces.
Many legends leads to this place, but one is true :
There lies the tomb of the last King, the greatest of all kings, before the Great Collapse.
After 17 years of hard work, the notorious tomb-raider Greys has find the location of the most wanted treasure on Earth.
Gathering his crew he went to the town of Harbor, to find a pilot crazy enough to fly in the Last Journey Canyon.
[...]
Greys spent all his money without hesitation to hire the ship "SteamLady" and her crew.

here's a quick illustration showing the SteamLady in the canyon flying to the Last King's Tomb :

Not very inspired, i like the moods but i hope i'll find a better attitude for the raider.

Very good concepts and very defined style, I like a lot the painterly look of your sketches, I hope my final paintings were as your first sketches, hehe. Good work!

Excellent work for the moment !

Waht can I say a part that I reaaly like defenitely the character # 8 and the face #5.
The #2 is very cool, but I can imagine him more in the Scorpion comic book or in story of the 18th century.

Well... I think we are all waiting for more !
Excellent work once more !
