firefly- poster

the image all of these character drawings have been leading to. i tried to capture as much as i could from the show... the way the characters look, the lighting, the colors, the western feel and a little chinese thrown in there. i love this show. thanks for sitting through all of my character posts. i hope you dig the big group image.

firefly- the doctor and the prodigy

while mal, zoe and jayne may handle most of the plot and action, simon and river tam are the other real heartbeat for the show. simon gave up a promising career as a doctor to save his sister, river, from some creepy alliance experiment. the two are fugitives and while that complicates the lives of everyone else on serenity, it also gives them all purpose. what was the alliance doing to river? what secrets are in her head? watch the show and then watch the movie. seriously. you'll love it.

group image is next!

firefly- the shepherd and the companion

i paired these two together for this post because they both hold more hopeful and spiritual presence, guiding the others and providing some conscience. book is a shepherd, a preacher, and has a very western faith... as well as a mysterious past he keeps hidden. inara is a companion... a high class prostitute... and has more of an eastern spirituality ...as well as a huge crush on mal that she keeps hidden.

two more!

firefly- the pilot and the engineer

rounding out serenity's crew are the pilot, wash, and engineer, kaylee. wash is a leaf on the wind when he's flying, and he's also kind of the chandler of the group. yeah, i dropped a 'friends' reference. while wash provides the humor, kaylee is the heart of the group. and she also knows way too much about ships and machines.

still more coming!

firefly- first mate and enforcer

next up are loyal first mate zoe and i'm not exactly sure what he does (not public relations) jayne cobb. these two are the ones who always accompany mal on missions. zoe the warrior woman and the hero of canton, the man they call jayne. i mentioned with mal that i tried to get the intended look for the character as well as resemblence of the actors, but i forgot to mention i was also trying to get some of the color and lighting the show had.

firefly - malcom reynolds

i recently watched firefly on dvd for the first time. if you haven't seen it, you should. the show is amazing. it's funny, it's dramatic, it's dark, it's light and it has action. oh and it's a space western. anyway, i loved the show so much that i started working on a picture of the crew of serenity, starting of course with their captain. i tried to capture the look of both what mal would ideally look like and what the actor who played him (nathan fillion) looked like.

watch for more of the crew
