Scribbled this down quickly as an idea. More just a way to get started than an actual WIP. Its pretty stereotypical but i just wanted to get the creative juices flowing.
Its the secret agent faces the mad genius in his lair scenario.
Its a start anyway - but as yet i'm not sure what style i want to use to tackle this or who my secret agent is.
Will probably muck round with a heap of compostion ideas so this is just the first.
Best of luck to everyone in the challenge - hope we all have a heap of fun on this!

Started working on my secret agent design. At this stage i'm going with a girl character (don't draw girls a lot so i think i need the practice). Not sure whether this is the style i will go with yet but just starting to try and get a feel for the character.

[Darksuit]

like the agent concept design there. Certainly worth watching how this shapes up...=)

Loving how this is looking so far, keep it up mate def gna be following this one!

Still mucking around with the first concept layout but am still concerned about having the main character looking away from the viewer.
Will definitely explore some other compostions in my next post.

good artwork and good style compostion. You have great art skill this will become an advantage when you do your work. Nice sketches so far can't wait to see the completed piece take care for now.

[MartinNielsen]

Good stuff for sure :) She reminds me of a comic book styled Lara Croft.

Here's another attempt at mucking around with the compostion, this time with the main protaganist running towards the viewer. We have the characters in heavy shadow to obscure fetures and lend that air of mystery.
Still not sure this is working so will keep looking at a few more options.

And here's another quick idea whilst its in my mind

[Hamlet-ID]

Both sketches are very good. I can stop seeing spider-man in the last one. :D

[redfrog]

Madness - Ha! Now you mention it that's all i can see in that image. Yeah, definitely not enough secret agent like i think!

Thanks for all the feedback so far folks! :)

[rePLAY]

I really like the last one and the girl.

[niruf]

hey! really like the last 2 concepts... esp the splashing water..could look really good when its done IF you're going with that idea that is :)

[shavedmonkey]

Some great ideas here, love the running figure one and the base lair one...perhaps you could make the villain the focal character? Or put the heroes face on the screen maybe? Very nice comic noir style too, keep it up! :)

Still mucking around with the compostions and trying to find that one scene that really jumps out at me.
Here's another concept - still pretty stereotypical.

Actually some really cool ideas there - hadn't even thought of giving the villain the focus, and the fade on the screen is another good call to solve the main character facing away from the viewer.
Definitely something to try! thanks!

Hi CraigGreat stuff.:thumbsup: The 4th sketch is my fovourite.
keep it up:beer:

[Terraplex]

I love all of those. There aren't too many in here that I've seen where the agent is facing off the villian like your first concept... I do like that loner one though. Very tough to pick a favorite. I really like the style you used for the one where the chick is being chased by robots.

All of yours have GREAT potential. :thumbsup:

[Zazill8]

Hey Redfrog, your no fun, you don't leave a lot of room for any comments. These are cool, but i think the best is yet to come. Hidden somewhere beneath that sleeve of yours :thumbsup:

Here's another concept with our secret agent on the run and trying to blend in with the crowd. A digital screen in the background may show a public announcement of the agent's face as a wanted individual.

[redfrog]

Thanks folks for all the encouraging words and valuable feedback. Hopefully in the next few days i should find a direction i'm happy with :)

[Hamlet-ID]

It’s a good idea, it remember me a lot to assassins creed. There are concepts that you can use for inspiration, but watch out it doesn’t look the same.

Heres another concept - taking shave monkeys idea of bringing the villain more into the focus. This one would allow me to show the face of my secret agent.
