COLOR PANEL TESTS

here are some test panels for my project, Zombie West. Im hoping to come up with a template of what a finished panel will look like before I pencil and ink the entire story. Here are a few of the more successful images. although I still think I haven't yet nailed the look .

I am trying to keep it simple, so each image can be colored quickly and try not to have the color compete with the line. I need to keep making test images because it has to look very hot and dusty to really sell the western feel.

This image is from my sketchbook. I wanted to get back into the habit of making color sketches as a way to stay loose and have some fun. I don't want to worry so much about the concept but just making something that looks interesting and strange. I am going to try and post a color sketch once a week. we'll see if that actually happens.
