Redrawing some of the early episodes of ill fame to prepare for print and its wild to try and ape my own style that I tried really hard to evolve out of. Anyway, here’s a version of the weary and cautious Frankie and Rhys from the first episode, drawn in my current style
I think you’re allowed “comedic nudity”, whatever that means
Thank you 🙏 Three chapters down, 113 to go!

I love the way Tillie Walden and Jillian Tamaki used limited colour if you need some extra inspiration
Same, never really made character sheets either. Too busy trying to get the comic drawn 😅

i have to believe that, at the end of the day, craft will save us. That our attention-spans can and will make time for it, both to slow down and make the thing you're proud of and for the person who encounters it and stops to soak it in. It's the only thing they can't take from us.
