Progress Update + What I'm Up To

SO this month I got a new apartment and moved into it. I'm all set up for work to continue now, but it was a bigger hassle than I expected (of course) and I probably lost about a week of progress to that. But, I'm back on track now.

I've also r...

Shortly before starting to draw the actual comic, I got some Copic markers and went to town. That one of Magda on the couch is one of my favorites.

I tried, briefly, to ink the comic traditionally, because that's how cool cartoonists do it. I'...

First three are the girl from the gaming club.... I like her style.

The girl in the hat is another character who may or may not appear in another chapter.


The towers... well, there was a point at which the story was going to be set in...

More Magda and Poobahs. With the poobahs, I considered making them more bizarre, like by giving them creepy eyes or teeth, or making them weirdly phallic. In the end I decided it'd fit the tone better to keep their design a little more subdued.

I knew what Vincent would be like as a character, but spent a long time agonizing over what fort of face to give him to reflect it. He existed as a concept well before I ever actually thought about what he'd look like. Some of those unused eyes are p...

I spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about what the characters looked like before I finally started drawing The Vapors. This was the first page of concept sketches I ever did.
