Here is a final design sketch for one of the Rapper/Henchmen characters in my story. He's the big-guy who doesn't talk much, but let's his size do the talking for him. I really like how his final design came out.

  
I wanted to add a female Rapper to my story so after a series of preliminary designs I came up with this final character design. Her belt houses her microphone kinda like a holster for a gun.
She's cute and sexy in the b-girl kind of way, but still can be taken seriously.

Hip-Hop DJ

This 2nd concept design for my DJ character. The story takes place in the future so I wanted to give him some sleek looking turn-tables. I also added some glowing lights, glowing-discs and flashy color panels to enhance his futuristic design.

The other character-face serves as the DJ's sidekick and computer buddy.

Redesign of my latest character from my upcoming graphic novel. This guy is basically the "big-boss character" aka the" main bad guy" in my story. I really enjoy drawing his character and basically wanted to create someone who could have an intimidating presence but still look cool.

Two more characters from my upcoming graphic novel. This one here is a hip-hop DJ. I decided to make him asian so I could diversivy more of the characters in my graphic novel. Hip-hop has such a following in other countries like Japan, so I think this character fits in well for my story.

This is another one of my character designs for my graphic novel. He is definitely a hip-hop inspired character as well as one of the bad-guys in my story.

This is one of the early concept illustrations for my current graphic novel that i'm working on. I illustrated the character in pencil, added inks, then scanned the picture and colored it in photoshop. I'm a big fan of japanese animation so I like to use their cell-shaded style for colors and shading in my pictures.
