Green Monk
So I'm trying to beef up my portfolio, especially in the storyboards area, cause that's what I want to do more of. In order to do this I've decided to start on a comic book project that's been bouncing around in my sketchbooks for several years now. It's the story of young Russian Orthodox monk that wanders around a mythical Medeivel Russia fighting with a giant blade of grass.
I'm trying to decide on a style. I know I want the atmosphere to play a big role, so much so that I'm not sure I want to draw the human figures very realistically. I'm persuaded that something like Chester Brown's Louis Riel biography would be a nice direction to take.
So here's what I've been playing with lately. See if you can guess which ones I like the best.

Niiiiiiice! Really loving the energy in these! Plus the structures in your faces are always great!
great range of styles on these. Im gonna say the fourth one down?
Sounds like a fun project and look forward to seein what direction it goes
there are some good drawings here, but I would recommend going with one of the more simpler styles. I am interested in storytelling here, and I think you are as well. If you want to work on a quick style that you can use for compositions I think the second or third down lend themselves the best.
The first one has a great feel to it, but I'm going to guess you're liking the 3rd one down -- it's got a little bit of a Nausicaa thing going for it, and I think that your Grass Monk story has a little Miyazaki flava.
And if that ain't yer favorite, it totally should be. :)
Three and Four are definitely the direction I want to head. I'm gonna play around with both and see what happens.
