Update - Chennai underground
































































Update #1 : OK folks - here are some concept sketches for 4 of the 5 'Chennai Underground' characters. Remember, the characters may look nothing like the versions in the movies (especially Iyer) cos' I've taken some creative control over their looks. Plus, the sketches shown are the characters in their 'vigilante' avatars. The unmasked versions would resemble their big screen counterparts closer. I'm really sorry for the poor quality of the images as I was limited to using MS Paint as a touch-up tool. Hopefully, I'll have a version of Photoshop by the next post...
These are just the preliminary designs. The looks will definitely be undergoing a radical change during the detailing phase. In the next 'Underground' update, I'll try to include some full-sized views of the characters...
Update #2: A little bit of googling has brought me to the fifth character which has fortunately turned out to be from the Telugu industry...and no, its not Chiranjeevi... I guess most Andhra-ites might be familiar with the Junior NTR starrer 'Yamadonga' - about the guy who cheated death himself. Well, to be honest I'm a recent but BIG fan of the junior tiger (the guy is THE God of dance - check out this video to find out why) and think that his character in the movie - Raja, has ample scope to be developed into a full fledged superhero. Concept sketches will be posted soon.
In other news : The Children of Light pages are still pending. I'll try to shake off the lazy bug and have an update for you tomorrow.

Thats all for today, folks!!!!

Ciao...
