Lead artist Jonathan likes to do what he calls “non-destructive drawing”, in which layers or other methods are used to separate different steps of an illustration in order to make changes to specific parts.
This can result in a lot of layers being put down but it’s nice to be able to go back and see how the rough sketch led to the final drawing :)
Jean Essex in her prime! In Rebellion she’s an old woman who hires X-Key to do a job for her.
Sharing another older design. X-Key in flight gear, she wears her hair differently with this outfit.The mask for this outfit is also a little different in the final version. Because she often changes her looks I try to use little touches on the designs and symbols to represent X-Key
