Comicon Challenge 2009 | damagecontrol | Ghost Rider 2099


damagecontrol has entered the competition!

Here's some initial quick sketches. I kinda like the idea of a head phone motif just cause this character could less about the world's corrupt society.

I also wanted to push the more hacker nature of the character.

nice stuff man, keep going. its looking good

[Amethyst]

Wow, I love your sketches. You already have a handle on what you want to create!

[damagecontrol]

@ l33t, Amethyst - Thanks! Appreciate the support.

I know the original GR 2099 had a hovercraft bike but I want to bring a tron/knight rider/akira style to the mix.

[damagecontrol]

another quick sketch. Trying to get a feel for the type of GR 2099 I want to make.

[damagecontrol]

Still trying to get a feel for this character. I kinda want to give him a more cyberpunk/hacker-like quality. More wires and circuits will be flowing thru this version I think.

[Razvan-Sedekiah]

OOooo! I love this idea! Great sketches too!!!

Oh! A night time scene with glowly head and other glowy lights might be fun!

[WarNoodle]

wow! very cool, I actually was thinking of doing ghost rider in the future.. Happy to see someone did it! looking great! keep it up!

[PaperDoll]

Beautiful sketches, damage. I really like the pose/epic quality of the first pose in post #6.

[Ksan]

These sketches are really nice, especially the figures. I like the last one you posted a lot, keep going.

[Paulo Peres]

Great job, man.

The sketches are really good. Keep going!

[damagecontrol]

@Razvan-Sedekiah - Thanks! I was thinking about doing a night shot. Still not sure whether to have him riding on it or standing in front yet.

@WarNoodle, @PaperDoll, @Ksan, @Paulo Peres - Thanks for your support, guys! I have some new ideas that I'll explore soon. I will be doing some more work consistently after this weekend.

Here's a reference sheet of what the original version looked like as well as some influences and inspiration for my version. Missing from this sheet is some Ghost in the Shell refs and TRON refs.

[WhiteGuardian]

Oh shit. I think you will join 3D, but 2D.
Ghost Rider in futuristic/robot style is really nice idea. Keep it up man

[damagecontrol]

@ WhiteGuardian - Thanks! Yep. this time it's 2D cause it's honestly what I do better at...at the moment ;-)

Here's another version of GR 2099. Trying to integrate some TRON and Ghost in the Shell elements as well as re-introduce some key GR 2099 accessories.

[grimdc13]

Awesome stuff , glowing lights.

[Cristian G]

Great idea and sketches!
Keep going
Good Luck!

[Jono-GHOSTWORKS]

I really like the drawing of his profile in your first post. I personally don't like the spindly legs, but the technique and style is top notch!

[Mr.Jenkins]

very cool! this is great direction. keep it coming.

[damagecontrol]

@Mr.Jenkins, @Jono-GHOSTWORKS, @Cristian G, @ grimdc13 - Thanks, guy! I'll do my best.

I was going to switch brushes but I like this style so I might play with it a little more. Here's a sketch of the back.
