Another Character with big boobs...

Noob to the void but the concept is incredible. Looking forward to getting involved and contributing.
I'm a big John K. fan, just found Stripsearch through Katie Rice who I found through JohnK's blog. So much insite and incredible information there, really hope I've applied some of it with this first design submission to the Void.

The character is based on an old friend. I won't tell you much about him, hoping his details tell enough of his story, but in short he's a jolly but seasoned ex biker in a nomad punk rock band that is touring the world in indie band purgatory... playing the same bar to the same kids in different cities.

As far as the drawing goes I was aiming for a gorilla. His mouth should be simian and arms longer than normal. The front facing version too few fingers and a crushed left (our right) shoulder... and there's a problem with the sideview's shoulder. I included my "non photo blue" structure drawing to get tips on that part of the process.

Hope the community enjoys the work. Hoping to submit as a character soon, any help an critique will be welcomed!

Coming to this page after reading the title made me smile. Seeing a ton of potential here, but I'm going to withhold any judgment until I see your intro pages. It's one thing to make a fun character, but it's a whole different game to make a good comic! Can't wait to see what you produce!

Cool character, but dude.
What are the squiggles on his face?  >.>  He looks diseased or something. Are they really screwed up moles?

I'll run the pages by here before they're published too. All kinds of issues are coming up, like writing, persepective, drawing interesting extras... But I think this site is a really cool place to grow. It's what I've been looking for for months.

The squigles on his face are meant to be a patchy beard. Maybe he needs a 5 oclock shadow...

I think you should stick with the squiggly beard myself, it makes more sense and would look better with your style i think. Keep it up!

Post your work-in-progress pages anyway so we can improve them ~together~

I would like to know about the squiggles on his face too.

Oh oh, maybe if you did the face squiggles, in a darker brown color, and not shade them? Then they might look more like scrappy beard bits, instead of creepy skin flaps?

Definitely not going for creepy skin flaps. Also I may need to adjust the construction a bit for easier posing. I'm shooting for a stretch and squash tex avery style but I'm having a hard time keeping things consistent between poses... since it's not animation.

After a few scrapped ideas and convoluted jokes I spent some downtime at work scripting something simple for an intro page.



After reading a few comics here on the void I'm seeing that my original intent, an episodic slice of touring life webcomic, won't fit in with the idea of void. Please point me to artists here doing that sort of thing so I can get a feel for how it works.

In that case my thoughts on a story for this character go like this:

Mcgee is a pathological liar. He'd rather have you call him Benedict Comfortpatch, or Baron VonSquall than the name his mamma gave him. After bedding a guidette herogroupie he discovers some strange new powers... everything he says comes true. With the power to bring the whole place down will he harness his new genie-out-of-the-bottle power before his bullspit makes a monkey out of him?

lately feeling like he needs a sidekick... Open to wild and crazy suggestions...

Very late in saying this but nice to see you in void! Liking what you got so far.


I personally think this character is great already, but if you have an idea for a sidekick that would push this character into a potentially better character, then I say go for it. Unfortunately, suggestions aren't flowing in me right now, but I might throw some later on this week

He could use his genie like power to bring his dead dog back to life...

Here's a quick attempt at Undead Dog. Tinkering with having his skull visible through a gelatinous form.



The dog could resent him for it, be self destructive, and give them an edge and a nice opening for visiting the "other" side every so often...

Heh, you could use an apple-head chihuahua for reference for the giant skull. I have one, and his head looks pretty much like what you drew already in real life, just with bigger ears, haha!

Been a rough couple weeks. Needed a break. I have no clue how all the incredible artwork on here gets done. This was done in photoshop, but I'm thinking I need to plan in photoshop, ink in illustrator and color back in photoshop... Learn't motion graphics this week. If anyone has a well layered file they'd like to see move a bit I would love to test out my skills...

I suggest checking out manga studio. It will give you cleaner lines than photoshop, and is faster than illustrator. You can also draw vector lines in manga studio. Speaking as someone who is a professional Illustrator ... Err Illustrator, 1000 points to you if you have the patience for inking in that program, but man, I couldn't do several comic pages in it without going crazy.
Manga studio also makes doing flats much faster, so you could ink and flat in manga studio, then finish in photoshop. It's also on super sale quite frequently!

Also, wow, butt.

Manga studio is cool. Waiting on a surface pro (1) and looking forward to sketching in sketchbook, inking in illustrator and coloring in Manga studio. Meanwhile I've started and stoped about 6 pages. They all suck but for one that has a convoluted story... Hope to enter the void sometime this year :(

just keep working.
i´m still surprised to see you using illustrator for the lines but you must know that for yourself. MS is still a good choice however you use it.
would love to see your guy around here.
oh and dont overthink your pages maybe. i understand the urge to give it your best and droping try after try but it get you nowhere.
trust me i do that since i joined and thats a looooooooong time and i didnt achieve a thing. (negative example work best ;))

I do like the first dog, but I feel the one with the pupils is way more identifiably. Maybe you want that, maybe you don't, is a corpse after all...?
