7th Serpent is a third-person shooter modification for the Max Payne 2 game engine thrusting players into a world of corruption, secrecy and vengeance as they control Damon Pryce - the main character - who has been subjected to experimental testing and is left to his own devices in order to extract the truth from those who keep it from him.

On the last update I talked about our crazy composer, so now it only seems fitting to give you a peek into our Graphic Novel artist. His name is Mates "Avatar" Laurentiu and he hails from Romania. He draws really, really well so when my team saw some of his pencil work we were stupefied. I mean, just look at his old material for crying out loud! Is this guy good or what?

So the first thing Mates managed when coming onboard was doing what he does best: character drawings. He sketched up concepts for all our main characters and they came off really well. Taken from our Media section, below you can appreciate some of them:

Right after doing the concept art pieces, Mates started working on our Graphic Novel segments for the first episode. We don't want to spoil much for you before you play the game, but here and here are two early panel designs he started with at the beginning. After finishing the sketches and doing some heavy coloring, you can see what he ended up with next:

It looks very, very awesome. I expect that it will be another definative mod for Max Payne 2 (along with Hall of Mirrors). The graphic novel art look absolutely amazing.
