Author notes

Just been sitting on these pages of late and haven’t been able to give them the love they deserve since been at work longer than normal. Anyway this is page 9 to 11 of the Cyrax comic. - 21/04/2021

I drew this just some days ago, in my personal head-canon Cyrax is a big tech guy and has a personal workshop in the Lin Kuei temple where he developed much of the technology that makes the Cyber Lin Kuei.

Cyrax Origins [part 1/3]

Another little peak at where I am with this Cyrax comic this is the second draft to page(8/19). I coloured this pages background grey to help with reading at night. Although it is strange to look at when it is grey.

I started numbering all the panels in this stage of drafting, using purple ink to help label effects.

I was working on the Cyrax comic again, I am very happy with this pencil work, you can tell by the roughness of this comic page it is a WIP.

The panel in the bottom right was very tricky to work with, I made this strange mistake many times work over how that little bit would look but in the end I am ok with it.
