A Step By Step Drawing Of X-key. From Pencil To Final.

Hey all! Sorry for not posting lately, I’ve been really busy with class and work but we’re still working on X-Key’s comic, Rebellion. The fourth issue is just about done and needs to be uploaded.

Anyway thank you so much for liking X-Key and remember to check out Rebellion at highoctanerevolution.com

This started out as a simple drawing of X-Key with permanent markers. Then I decided to color it ...then one of the members of the team looked at it and told me "You should add a background." Short version; I ended up spending a lot more time with this pic then I planned, but it was a fun distraction. Sharpie and pencil, colored in photoshop.

Hello everyone!

Today is the first day of our Halloween Social Media Giveaway. Many of you are new to the Team X Visual page and were not fans of the page when we did our first promotion. As stated in our Post New York Comic-Con video, we will be drawing sketches of our fans in the style of X-Key. Some of the sketches from the last promotion are viewable on our (www.teamxvisual.tumblr.com) Tumblr account. If you want to see yourself in the world of X-Key, read the rules below and participate. The contest ends when 25 people have responded across the various social media platforms or on November 3rd at 3:00 PM CST.

  The following are the rules for the giveaway:

  1. We will be awarding the first 25 responses on each of our social media platforms with a sketch of yourself in the world of X-Key. This means if you are not one of the first 25 on Facebook, you can still aim for Tumblr, Twitter, or Instagram.

  2. Follow us on Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, or Instagram.

  2a: Facebook (www.facebook.com/teamxvisual), Tumblr (www.teamxvisual.tumblr.com), Twitter (www.twitter.com/teamxvisual), Instagram (www.instagram.com/teamxvisual).

  3. From your social media account (Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, or Instagram), leave a comment answering the following question: “What would you like to see from a Team X booth at either C2E2 or New York Comic-Con?”

4. Please be thoughtful with your responses as we are taking these suggestions seriously for next year’s convention circuit.

  5. We will contact you if we do not have an image of you that we can use to draw from for the sketch.

  6. BONUS: A number of the sketches will be cleaned up, inked, and colored. The selection will be at random (so as not to play favorites).

  Enjoy Halloween in a safe way and thanks for following us!

Happy Halloween!

Sharing another rough animation clip. X-Key doing a jump kick.

Bases for illustrations…flat colors with no effects. You can see the originals in an earlier post. 

An old rough animation of X-Key doing a backflip.

Here’s some rough marker and pencil sketches.

Since it was turning into a week of Lilith we decided to go along with the trend. Here is a new piece of original artwork inspired by "Days On Edge".

Found this really cool rough composition of X-Key while looking through our archives!
