It’s later than I’d like, but here’s today’s sketch. In keeping with my theme, I’ve done a model comparison of Jerome. As usual, there is something I like about the classic, original model, which has very clean lines and a t-shirt that was always striped the exact same way regardless of what direction Jerome faced. He was tricky to re-imagine, though, because I really wasn’t sure how to give him a distinctive hairstyle and look that would harken back to the original but still show progression. The hair stayed basically the same, though I’ve added a bit more detail to it, and the beard made sense considering he started growing facial hair of various designs in a couple of storylines from the old comic (the Pirate Choir and the Lazy Summer, specifically). I also decided to give him a new shirt (in the planned-but-abandoned Crooked Halo 2.0, he’d have gone on to become a game designer who’d made lots of money creating some game for smartphones, and the shirt would’ve been either his company logo or the main character from his game).
