More stuff for the Hero comic, this time some fooling about with character design, background style and texture. The background style will eventually be looser than this, but I was pretty happy with the addition of the watercolor paper texture to help split the fore and backgrounds. This will make the comic look more like animation, which is what I'm hoping for. So, ink, Illustrator and watercolor paper. No Photoshop, which is also an aim.

Someone new for an upcoming fite! comic. He's not going to last long but I was watching a lot of Tom and Jerry cartoons and was inspired to design him ahead of time. Ink and Illustrator as always.

The other comic. This is a character from the other comic to come after fite!. The fox is named Zippa. I'm trying to keep a more abstract approach to this comic both as contrast to the hero comic and to what I did in fite. No otters! The others are coming along. I'm also trying to keep away from the brush as it's too easy to just use the same tool all the time. This is micron and AI. Likely I'll switch to dip pen later on.
