This is Character Concept/Test for "High Ground", it needed the black and white to represent the shadows and expression of the 1930's era.  I drew the top scene with the concept of competition and class, I wanted to show frustration between the characters but through exaggeration.  The first image ended up being used for the Indiegogo's Gallery page, and Facebook.

The portrait was an image I drew, just for pleasure, for Jeremy Stebens.  I loved this character idea, and really wanted to project the overall personality that I read from the script.  Unfortunately, the movie will not be animated, due to budgeting reasons, but this image was used as a project "pitch" idea.  Drawn with basic pen and ink on mixed media paper.
