So, I've been working on a new graphic novel story for quite a while, and I'm now in the character design stage. Because some of the character designs are based on artwork I had a friend of mine do and he hasn't sent me all his sketches, I only have a few characters drawn at this time, and none of them are the protagonist, so I decided to share the ones I have:


This is Stick Man. He is one of my earliest characters, and he appears in every single signature I've done since 2001. He is a supporting character in the story.



This guy is Stick Man's evil twin brother, who went through an experimental procedure in prison that made him human, thus why he has two different appearances. He's also a supporting character.


These guys are representatives of three different groups in Sticktown, the setting of the story. The two gangs are at war with each other, and the police incompetently do little to stop them.


This is Tubbo Crape, landlord of some really slummy apartments in town. He plays a very microscopic role in the comic because I can't stand his character.


This guy's name is Wendell, and he's a clerk at a local convenience store, plus a bartender.



Finally, these two images are of Mr. Smiley, the main antagonist. One picture is of him as human, and the other is of his other form later on.

I will post more pictures when I make more.

Keep in mind that these are still concept drawings, plus I'm trying to keep the character's personalities under wraps, otherwise there would be nothing to read about.

How are the stick figures, zombies, and the smiley guy, supposed to fit together in one comic? I can't see it...

They actually aren't zombies. Their green skin looked flesh colored to me because I'm partially color-blind with reds and greens.

Anyway, I will have some new drawings up soon.

There be more here now.



These images are of the supporting character Holyirontony, a former paladin displaced in time and eventual pizzeria owner, mostly because he thinks of pizza as "the greatest food ever conceived". He's so obsessed with pizza, he even remade his sword to look like a giant pizza cutter:


And, of course, no comic would be complete without a protagonist. Here he is, my username namesake:

He was a former superhero who decided to go back to that life, at least until he lost his powers in a fight with Mr. Smiley. Now, he's trying to make up for lost time and abandoning his friends. I've still yet to draw him in his superhero get-up.

And before you ask, I'm trying to keep the superhero references to a minimum as I was more inspired by the cosmic horror of HP Lovecraft and my own old humor comics when writing the story (the characters mentioned have all existed, in some shape or form, since I was in high school). I'll put some more drawings up when I get the chance.

But it is!
 
 
"You tell yourself to just
enjoy the process," he added. "That whether you succeed or fail, win or
lose, it will be fine. You pretend to be Zen. You adopt detachment, and
ironic humor, while secretly praying for a miracle."
