I'm choosing to use the limited color pallet for a nice contrast to the fully rendered paintings throughout the actual story. It's kinda neat how the limited color in old comics and posters was a cost issue but really created a beautiful aesthetic for the artform. That aesthetic can really be seen in some of the old Hammer posters, which they have recently made a pretty friggin neat book out of.
In a time where artists can use literally countless colors and filters and effects to render, it's good to remember that sometimes less is just what the doctor ordered!

Love the limited palette! Are these gonna be tradong cards? I love that each one has a cool self-contained bio-story
Thanks Sherm! I haven't thought of trading cards, but that's a great idea! These are just pages in my latest SUPERMONSTERAMA full color widescreen comic magazine extravaganza...:)
These are great! Great names too.
Thanks! I'm partial to MUTATOR the most:)
Ted, your work is terrific. I grew up watching films such "Kronos", "The Colossus of New York" and "Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla". Your work has a quality that evokes those old movies which were much more fun than today's overproduced CG fests. Keep up the good work.
