Gettin' Design-y on Yer Ass




Okay, so it's been awhile since the last entry, but I HAVE been working on stuff. See?
.
Character design is probably my favorite part of the comics process at the moment so I'm really having fun with the designs for Episode 2 of THE HOLIDAY MEN. The main characters won't change too much, but I wanted to update them a bit, add some more detail, and well, the next part takes place at the North Pole, so these guys have to dress for the weather right? Plus, I have to draw these friggin' guys for 27 pages, so I had better dig their duds.
.
A lot of photo ref was used here. Though not at all on Bunny's junk. I have that shit memorized.
.
These look pretty sloppy, so don't judge too harshly, but they should do rather nicely for reference throughout the upcoming arc. I am by nature a pretty sloppy penciller, usually refining the drawing after retracing it a few (sometimes more) times and then inking it all nice and tight. Thank god (or more specifically Steve and Fiona) for hooking me up with a light table on my last B-Day. It is intrumental to my process and was probably the best present I've ever received.
.
I've actually done a few more designs, but they are of new characters and I don't want to spoil the surprise. But I will say, I cannot wait to start drawing this comic again.
.
That being said, me and Foley will probably be submitting a comic to Zuda. Before or after Episode 2? I'm not sure. But it'll take some prep, as I'll be modelling my style after a classic artist, which will be fun, but definitely a challenge.
.
Drink and Draw tomorrow! Yes!!!
