QRPing my bad decision sheet because why not

Here's my comic character design #baddecisionbingo sheet, with two lonely good decisions. In other words, it IS possible to lose even worse than me!

Pogo alone could fill 13 squares and gets bingo all by himself.

I officially love Nomad Sculpt. Learned the program and built a reference head in 1 day. Now I can draw this bastard's nose correctly at any angle. 😆 #demonoftheunderground

Model shots, process shots, and links to the tutorials I used are up for Secret Gallery patrons!

✨ OC vs their living space! ✨

I like it when a character's home looks like them. 🙂

It's finished!! And it only took me a month. 😄 Read on if you want to learn about my idiots.

Hey it's the weekend and I haven't done one of these here, so let's!

22. OC I didn't expect to love.

"Love" might be a little strong. And no one is *supposed* to love Troy. But after writing him in Merritt's Story and in part of an unreleased Troy POV short ("Troy Story"), this jerk has grown on me. I do love writing him.

21. OC I didn't expect to be popular.

Belmont, particularly in #merrittstory. AFAIK, he's my only OC to have had an actual fan club. He was a HUGE risk. No one knew it was enemies to lovers, and I let him go full unbridled bastard enemy for 200K words.

Not so invincible anymore, are you, Belmont?

20. An OC regret.

As an author: No regrets.
As an illustrator: No regrets.
As a comic artist: So. Many. Regrets.

17. Oldest/Youngest OCs

Old: Quinn from #lychgateseries (which I haven't republished since 1st pub went bad). Undead, regenerates FAST, won't use oven mitts, leaves charred skin on her pots & pans.

Young: Annie!! Only ~1 year old. (we don't talk about ferret lifespans here) #demonoftheunderground

16. Tallest and Shortest OCs.

Keeping this to adult humans, both are DOTU characters. Tallest is Gray at 6'5"; shortest is Noble at 4'10". Both are equally terrifying. They share a strong taste for vengeance, lol.

Demon of the Underground is still updating for patrons while Into the Smoke is on between-chapters hiatus, and today's update was a big win for the Troy haters. 😄

14. OCs I neglect.

Pogo, these days. It's not smart, since he's probably responsible for most of my income. But I've been writing him nonstop since 2006 without a break. I just need to broaden the relationship and see other OCs sometimes.

10. Villain OCs

I *love* my villains. They suck. 🙂

But for years and years now, one man has been hated WAY beyond all others. (And his board of advisors too. 😆)

Along with my art, I'll share my favorite reader memes.

4. Fav OC design

I do love Pogo's demon form (Demon of the Underground). HATE drawing it, though. 😆

Also Blaze's "exorcism" outfit (Into the Smoke) and Rainey with her ridiculous hair and missing tooth (DOTU).

(yes, I suck at picking just one)

To be fair, I did use licensed models in other parts of ITS, so I get some of the "cheat" benefits.

I made all my own DOTU models, though. It's just not so easy to find pre-existing goatercycles and drug chandeliers and underground tournament arenas...

Demon of the Underground is an LGBTQ+ urban fantasy #webcomic about Pogo, a bi half-demon thief who falls into an underground world where 4 warring factions all want him for different reasons. (And he has a ferret named Annie!)

Hey new (and old) people! I'm a cartoonist, author, and illustrator with several projects. Here's a thread with a rundown of them so you know what everything is and where to find it!

Rereading Demon of the Underground looking for sample pages, and I was reminded of that moment where Pogo threw down a fingerless glove to challenge Samsid to a (very high stakes) duel.

For the record, I DO have "serious" art of all these guys. But, y'know, get a man who can do both or whatever.

I never made my requisite first video post, so here it is! I still want to finish this montage of DOTU ladies someday...

QRP with how you draw men.

Am I drawing men correctly?
