Description The 6 main characters for the short comic I'm working on. This is mostly a reference image for me for character details and relative sizes, it probably won't be very definitive when it comes to color (the story will probably be B/W).

Drawing barbarians is fun. I first started kicking around versions of these guys about 5 years ago, so it's been a cool challenge to redraw them more interestingly this time around.

Sadly, once again I fell into the muddy brown trap. Boo. Worst colorist.

Correct. I am. And I used to work at the Comic book shop. So you and I have met before.

This kind of reminds me of the D&D cartoon

The woman with the fur cape... does she have owl-like hair or is it a hood or headdress? I like the dynamic poses.

It's kind of a headdress. It'll be more apparent once she gets a closeup in the next page of the actual comic (even though the big cape itself didn't make the cut...can't imagine THAT being comfortable in the jungle heat).

Glad you like the poses!

Are any of these fine young barbarians also fine young cannibals?

I definitely wouldn't rule out at least one of them on that front.

Title's more of a Bowie riff than a Fine Young Cannibals one, though. "Young Americans" and all that. I halfway want to rewrite the song with lyrics to match, but then I remember that a)I'm not the writer on this project, and b) that's such a stupid, stupid idea.

LOL - sometimes one must embrace the stupid. Regardless, they look great!
