We are keeping our foot on the gas with another page of Wheel Saint and I’m here with more details and art.
This page features two of the things I was most excited to draw during this series. I had a lot of ideas about how Sam might pick up a soul but this image of the GNX has been in my head since the very beginning.
First, here’s a look at how the sketch for this page started.
I imagined Sam power sliding through the soul and collecting them right into the passenger seat. This was a really hard sequence to figure out and draw especially since I’m new to drawing car action like this. The truth is I jumped into drawing this whole project without really knowing if I could pull it off. IMO that’s the most fun way to work. Looking back on it now I think I got about 80% of what I wanted onto the page and I’m very happy with that figure.

When we first started discussing the idea of the Beast car I immediately saw the hands pressing against the glass. Jerry and I talked about a bunch of other cool ideas for how the Beast might look inside but I always came back to the hands and I’m really proud of how that panel came out.

This particular story will wrap up on Friday but trust me when I say we have a lot more stories to tell. We cut some ideas from this page in particular that I just didn’t have the space to draw out properly. I’m positive we’ll be back at some point with more Wheel Saint.
