The Becoming

4.18.2012 EDIT: Apologies, this page was supposed to have gone live last Monday and for whatever reason it didn’t upload successfully and I didn’t catch it.

We need to take a brief intermission but will resume on April 30th.

In the meantime, here is a”new” character design by DK to enjoy. I say “new” because it’s actually pretty old, but I don’t think it’s ever been posted before. At least not here.

Anyway, this particular character is in charge of “recreational services” on the 2nd floor of Hooligans. Originally planned to be introduced in vol. 1, we decided to hold her back until Vol. 2 due to an already overcrowded cast. Watch for her to cross paths with Percy in Vol. 2. It should be…interesting.

See you on the 30th!

In case you missed it on Facebook or the chatbox to the right, DK’s still working on the lineart for Page 93 due to the amount of detail it requires and will have to wait until Tuesday. However, here is a sneak peek of her progress. Please note the rest of the page is finished, but this panel still needs a background.

You’ll want to click to enlarge and see the detail on the City Guards uniforms.

And since I forgot to post it last week…

NOTE: Open in a new tab/window to see the progress animation.

Before we settled on The Becoming, we were originally going to do a series set in dual realities, one being the “real” world and the other being the world of a simulated reality game. I would have drawn the “real world” sequences with DK doing painted art for the fantasy world sequences. Obviously, it didn’t come to fruition, but in any event, if there is any curiosity about what we were up to before The Becoming, here’s a glimpse of what it would have been like.

Unfortunately, the art DK produced for it is mostly MIA being that it was long ago burned to discs and tossed in a drawer somewhere, but I’ll be sure to post any that I find in the future since I’m sure that’s a tad more interesting then my early comic page attempts lol.
