This poster/front book cover image depicts one of my action comedy-drama series, Nerd Boy & Geekie, if I am to adapt its first season/volume into a novel. Each character has a backstory, and the first season would unfold over at least 12 episodes/chapters. I do not intend to reveal the synopsis yet to avoid spoilers.
All characters were hand-penciled, inked, digitally scanned, line-refined in Adobe Photoshop and/or Illustrator, and colored (using a stylus pen) in Clip Studio Paint. I used Adobe Illustrator to create the typography for the title and the author’s name.
Project Size: 7" x 5".
To find out more about each character, view and read the characters and captions below.
The bookish Brendan Leibowitz/Nerd Boy (left) wipes his glasses and the toreador descendant, Karina Ines Montañez (right), performs a palm-to-fist salute. They glare at their artistic and eccentric friend, Percival Períergo/Geekie (center), who flexes at the viewer.
The erratic PussicaTatonic (left) challenges the predatory troll, Toback the Horror (right).
Fidgy Fly (left) propels forward with his rocket-powered skates. The Muay Thai kickboxer, Heinous Hare (right), jump kicks.
Flax Death (left) winks and spins in a dance routine. Neuro Mangler (right) trances and reaches his hands forward.
