Thumbnails for a Silverwing based piece, using my previous character design for Goth. I've always wanted to draw the final conflict scene between the two protagonists, Shade and Marina, against the two giant cannibal bats , Goth and and Throbb. I think it was the fact that the scene was set inside a storm cloud that made it very dynamic and appealing for me.
It was either watching the trailer for Legend of the Guardians or the trailer for the Silver Surfer that I got this image of Goth emerging from a black storm cloud in epic slow motion. As you can see the first set of thumbnails had Shade (and eventually Marina, for when I read the book again I realised I missed her out) with Goth. However I didn't find these dynamic enough. So I thought about it, watched some movies and thought, "Jez'! Wouldn't a P.O.V shot be good!? Like we were the small runty Shade seeing this monster of a bat emerge from the clouds like a winged vision of death.". .. yeah, I'm that metaphorical with my thoughts.
So I'm going with the last thumb. Just need to decide how those wings are going to be posed.

Thank Zotz for this bat reference.
