Several years back, my friend Chad kicked a webcomic idea my way about a guy (I can’t recall the character’s name now, sadly) who was a reality repairman. I loved the idea, and I did a few initial character sketches, but nothing ended up coming of the project because (1) I couldn’t manage my time and (2) I was actually busy as hell working full-time, just getting into my relationship with the woman who would become my wife, and taking graduate classes to earn my teaching license. And I was still doing Crooked Halo, so I had a pretty full plate.
So this sketch is based (loosely) on what I recall of the original character design. I still love the idea of him having kind of a frat-bro look about him, with the casual-looking-but-it-actually-took-effort hair and the douchey goatee thing. Also, I had this idea that he’d probably solve most of his problems with a hammer. What? It’s not any less-probable than the Doctor fixing everything with that screwdriver of his, sonic or otherwise.
Sketches From Memory 
I have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger’s Award for sketching such bizarre things! Your sketches frequently make me laugh, so thank you!
Thanks! Is there anything I have to do for such an award? Is there an acceptance speech to give? ‘Cause I’m up for that.
Indeed there is! You have to (well not really have to; you don’t HAVE to do anything!) choose 7 bloggers (or 15, depending on whose rules you choose… I went with 7, I was in a rush!) that you recently came across and admire/who’s work you enjoy, and tell us 7 things about yourself.
I just put mine on my about page, seemed to make sense…
There is a Salman Rushdie story called “Horun and the Sea of Stories”, where Horun wakes up and finds a strange little man holding a strange wrench-like tool standing in his room. He’s basically a dream plumber, and the wrench is for turning off his dreams. Sound like a good sidekick / crossover?
Had to follow you after reading the comment about the Doctor and the sonic screwdriver! Love the artwork too.
