Nicholas Jericho Sketch

Months ago, when the main characters were conceived I gave Milton and Felipe very brief descriptions. I didn’t want to be too specific here and let the artists envision our main characters without any influence except that provided by the “high concept” of the series.

When first we talked about it, I told them that the series could be roughly described, in a Hollywood-pitch kind of way, as “Flash Gordon meets Lost”.

The physical description of Major Nicholas Jericho was:

“Nicholas Jericho is a tall and sturdy man with light brown skin.”

I remember that first I envisioned – long before presenting the pitch to the artists- Jericho’s personality akin to that of “dark characters" like the Authority’s Midnighter but then decided that wasn’t a wise decision for our protagonist.

He became a “clean, square jawded” hero molded after (not referencing there just trying to channel by memory, with the distortion implied by that) that of Gordon, Rogers or the “space heroes” of yesteryear.
