SWITCHFAST BY WILFREDO TORRES

This sketch of Switchfast was drawn by Wilfredo Torres at the 2009 Megacon. Wilfredo has worked on a number of different series including Salem: Queen of Thorns, Demon's Regret and Gnome and the Boogeymen. He got a great clean style that caught my eye as I walked around the Con floor. Since I was trying to get some different characters from SENTINELS this time around, I had prepared some character sheets for artists to choose from. Wilfredo picked Switchfast to draw and I gave him the reference and told him his powers. The one thing I forgot to mention was that the things Switchfast wears in his hair are kind of focal points for his powers. Like hair clips I guess, lol, but not really. As you can see in the sketch the clips weren't really clear I guess and Wilfredo thought that they were animal ears, lol. He kind of looks like he has fox ears here. I still think it's a great sketch though and Wilfredo's art is top notch. I love the power effect he drew for him too. Check out more Wilfredo art at http://www.mightyfineline.com/ .

Lol, I have to admit, at first I wasn't sure what they were either. I had to get Luciano to clear it up for me.
