Hey there. Traveled over after seeing Locus advertised....hum, somewhere, anyway... and thought I'd keep on going. I'm a very visual person when I read comics so the art always makes or breaks my experience and that means I love Locus. Story's not half bad either ;) Seriously, though, I saw this pic and wondered: How did you teach yourself anatomy on a creature that doesn't really exist? A lot of bat wings? I was also looking at the extended 'foot' on Eden here which was pretty cool.
Thanks for checking out Locus! She sure has gathered a larger female audience than I was told she would. :)
As for the succubus anatomy: I've refined their physique over the course of about fifteen years or so, just tweaking wings and hooves until they seemed more realistic. I started with bat wings, but moved on to a different design. The bat-like wings on most succubus art just doesn't seem "right" to me for some reason.
I'm currently working (in my scads of free time--har de har har!) on getting all the sketches and notes under one cover and putting it up for sale, hopefully in the next six months or so.
Adam Black was found as a mewling infant in the desert by a clan of leather-clad, hard-drinkin' narwhals, and raised on a steady diet of heavy metal (both the music genre and the magazine), spicy foods, slasher flicks and strippers.
He started making comics in the mid-1990s, back when everyone and their brother were publishing independent black & whites, and moved on to RPG illustration shortly thereafter, choosing his clients with the phrase, "the weirder, the better".
In 2007, he began working on Kiss 4K, which he would eventually take over entirely (as writer, artist and letterer) for four issues--the first person in history to do so.
When the Kiss gig dried up, he moved on to his own project, Locus, a comic best summed up as "Boobs, Blood and Bad Language"(tm).
When not drawing demon girls with their tits hangin' out, Adam sits around and dreams up new ways to draw demon girls with their tits hangin' out. It's what he does. It's all he does. And he absolutely will not stop until he is dead.
If you read that last bit in your head using Reese's voice from the Terminator, it's a lot funnier. Try it!
