Engine Jones

It’s been a while since I last drew something for the Modern Strange Cowboy series. Maybe one day I’ll update the other three of them to reflect my current style (though at this rate I’ll have to do that every couple of years)

I’ve been struggling to get together a solid design for Engine for several years. This is actually the second time I’ve drawn him; after deciding I hated my first attempt I swept it under the rug for a bit. I’m glad I did, because I’m really really happy with this design. Over the years I had started compiling a bunch of characters whom I wanted to draw from while designing him (Tarrlok from The Legend of Korra, Silva from Shaman King, and most recently Mink from Dramatical Murder: re:connect) and though you can tell I drew a ton from Mink, I think I managed to make Engine stand apart from his influences.
