Some of the feedback I’m getting is that my new “realistic” style of drawing is not mashing well with my previous cartoony style of drawing. People feel like Brent’s dad walked in from another comic strip.
I can see that, I really can. But I want to stretch and push myself more. It might take time for the mainstay PvP characters to catch up, but I’ve seen a mix of styles in other comics too (Liberty Meadows, Bone, Lil Abner, etc).
I don’t have the time to sit and sketch all day so I tend to experiment in the strip. I hope that by doing so I’m not rocking anyone out of the story or their enjoyment of the strip. I’ve never enjoyed drawing comics as much as I have in the last month or so since I started really pushing my art.
I’m not willing to stop.
I was inspired by the exclusive prints that everyone in webcomics is making for this con. Dave Kellett, Meredith Gran, and even Strauby are making these awesome prints special for Emerald City Con. I was all…”Man, I WANNA make a print too”
Anddd…thanks to modern technology and 24 hour print shops, I can do it. So I whipped up a Seattle, based moment with Skull for MY special print. You can pick one up at my booth this weekend. YAY!
