Ryder's Character Sketch Version 1

So below is the first concept and design work I received from the amazing Maria Jose Barros, or MJ for short. Suddenly I feel like Peter Parker, I have my own MJ, sweet! Anyway, Maria lives in Santiago Chile, I myself live in Vancouver Canada, so all our corespondence is done online. We had talked back and forth about the story and she blasted this concept out of Ryder and I'm telling you, to try and articulate the joy and overwelhming emotion I felt when I got this pic ... well it was like no other to say the least. It's as if finally everything clicked in my life. I come from a film industry background and I wrote a lot of spec scripts and often ran into producers asking to change this or that because it's just too expensive to do. For a writer this is often very hard. The surrounding environment, the action and challenges your characters face are so instrumental to the story and yes you must compromise in life but it's hard to see wicked scenes get cut because of budget constraints. But not anymore. Now MJ creates her magic. I have been a comic fan my whole life but I can't draw to save my life. Like I'm really really ... really awful fucking bad when it comes to drawing. So moving into comics never really seemed to fit.

Please keep checking in, more to come.
