Hey, guys!!! My name is Roye and I’m the writer/creator of E.X.O. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been hooked on superheroes. And that’s why I dropped everything to start a company (YouNeek Studios) that revolves around creating them. But personally, it’s more than that. My goal is to create superhero stories based on diverse characters, from parts of the world that don’t get enough attention when it comes to said stories. Hence the birth of E.X.O., a superhero story about redemption set in a futuristic 2025 Africa (Nigeria to be specific). E.X.O. would be nothing without the fans. Last April, I ran a Kickstarter campaign for E.X.O. PART One and it more than exceeded its goal ($3,500) by raising a whopping $10,000!!! And not only that, the buzz from the fans allowed me to get interviews with CNN, Forbes, BBC, Mashable, Huffington Post, and many more! These were things I could have never imagined in my wildest dreams. So, I’m hoping if you supported E.X.O. in the past I can count on you to join me for another journey, and if this is your first time hearing about it I hope I can get you to join this awesome ride. It’s time for us to make history… Once again!!!

I took time out to draw this sketch of Wolverine using a Wacom Ituos Pen and Touch (small) in Photoshop CS5. I watched Patrick Brown’s Scar-face tutorial by Mad Artist Publishing to achieve this hope to get better with practice and video tutorials online. Here is a breakdown of the processes in pictures below:
