So much to do these days. Have to finish that city illustration with the fox and monkey, I have another of them to do, perhaps two for a panel I'm going to be co-hosting in may AND I have to really put my nose to the... thing and work on Ghiroy. I thumbnailed out the first chapter, but since I want this to have a broader appeal, I, once again, took a look at my character designs. While I like them, the characters aren't exactly appealing. So, after having bought some art supplies today (it's been months since I actually had a sketchbook), I started drawing and this came out of nowhere. And I think it's exactly what I need. It's really hard to not copy too much from the source material, to abstract it as a cartoonist would and keep things consistent. But I have to try. So here's another first step, one of many.
