Read about this on JoeMadFan.com a little while back, very cool news. I hope Joe actually does some pages and not just a pin-up, though that's cool too. Love that Wonder Woman, remember when he did that, totally kick ass.

Wayfinder Character Artwork by Joe Madureira

I've collected as much artwork as I could find from Airship Syndicate's new game Wayfinders that I believe is Joe Madureira's work. Enjoy the collection! First he's some early concept art for Project Skylight (Which is now Wayfinder). Next here's some marketing artwork for the game featuring the main heros (aka Wayfinders). Here's some high resolution images of the individual Wayfinders: Wingrave The Seeker Wingrave is a templar clad in spell-forged armor and sustained by his faith in the Architects. He's a natural leader and true champion, always ready to defend the innocent and to smite the forces of evil. Silo The Tactician Swift and precise, Silo makes every shot count.

Take your pick. I use them all. Sometimes I work on paper that’s a little different ( smoother or more coarse ) and I may move up or down to an H or a B lead if needed. But I find H and 2H digs into the pap er and is too hard to erase ( Which sadly I do a lot of ) and B is too soft ( smudges like a mofo.) B is fantastic for going back over lines, darkening , and adding weight to your lines. Basically, ‘inking’ with a pencil. **Just keep a sheet of scrap paper under your hand or you will smudge the shit out of your drawing!!!** HB suits my needs 99% of the time. Really no need to switch it out, just adjust your pressure. Harder or lig
