I stopped drawing Crooked Halo about seven or eight years ago, right in the middle of a storyline. And I always felt kinda bad about leaving it unfinished. This wasn’t exactly the way I intended to end things for it, but it’s the end it’ll get.
Next week, back to our usual hijinks.
Concludes tomorrow!
Dun dun duuuuuuuun!
Drawing backgrounds is hard, y’all.
Getting back into the writing style for these guys is a bit challenging, but fun. Forgot how much I enjoy writing these guys.
Characters from my old comic, Crooked Halo! What will happen? Stay tuned to find out!
Today’s sketch is a reminder of why I really should not try to draw my characters in profile (I’m not good at it). Three-quarters view all the way! Anyway, the joke is that Jerome is really bad at using tools and is very likely to injure himself.
I’ve done 60 whole days of this, can you believe that? It’s, like, two whole months or something (someone check my math there).
Today’s sketch features two of my characters, Jerome and Simon, though one of them appears to have been replaced by a masked avenger of the night…could it be? Could Jerome really be the Dark Knight Detective?
No. The answer is no.
My friend and co-comic creator guy, Adam, pointed out that I could find the whole archive of my old comic, Crooked Halo, here. So hey, you can go cruise through the archives and read all 500+ comics.
I’ve been reading through them myself since yesterday, and noticing how my art’s changed in the almost 10 years since the comic began. So today, I used the old look for the main character, Simon, and the revised character model I came up with last summer when I started drawing again (with the intention of picking up Crooked Halo several years later, but I haven’t been particularly happy with my scripts, and I need to get a decent scanner again). It’s interesting to see how the character’s changed over the years. I kinda like the clean simplicity of the original design, but the newer design is definitely stronger.
