The classic actor analogy is a good one, worth more mining. I like the Bronson gut-check for Harkness, although he seems a little too ... Sleek. Lee Marvin? Evergreen is definitely on the right track with this graphic, This is splitting hairs, good basis to work from. Borgnine seems better reserved for Billingsley, although I get the visuals for those two mixed up in my head. "Battered prizefighter" might be reused?

What made those characters memorable was more their attitude than appearance, which doesn't come through well here. Fists up helps, I suppose, but it's more ... personal ambiance. Doesn't help much with graphic novels, but at least the air of restrained menace of the classic actors seems relevant to me.

Definitely works! I would put the old example with the new example to have a comparison or evolution of a character done by the artist(s). That's my only nitpick.

I thought Lee Marvin when I saw the pic too.

Awesome! Tell the art team that morale has improved; the beatings can stop. :)

Thanks for listening!

Evergreen Studios wrote:With the launch of the comic and the website we have been paying close attention to your notes, comments and criticisms and wanted to address one of them directly here with regards to Horace Harkness. We read your feedback which was quite universal about his build and physique, and agreed that he was not quite the character you would imagine in the book. We sent the art team to work on it and below you'll find our revised Horace Harkness. We thought we'd take the opportunity to post it here first, see what the thoughts were and then update the website.

Let us know what you think.



as he's been a 'bruiser' for a long time' he should show some damage, scar(s), broken nose that regen didn'y fix, etc

Everyone regens. It just works.
