I hate conventional wisdom. It annoys me that exercising and eating right makes me feel stronger and more energetic. It also annoys me shitless that practicing every day and planning ahead makes for a tremendously better quality comic. WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS BE RIGHT, MOTHER??
Share my pain, if you like, with these practice sketches.
- Grimmy! (And Ash and Hazz and the battle llama.) Still not quite right.
- The raccoon. (And Hazz.)
- The Collector and assorted scenes from the Enchanted Forest. Including Ash (wearing an alpaca turtleneck), the unicorn, and Hazz.
- Mister Un-Bear and his unnatural thirst.
- A Penis Gypsy (or why you should always wear pants when you answer the door). This was not intended to have anything to do with the comic, but is the direct result of something that happened at work.
- The other girl shadow knight. Crystal suggests she looks like Tank Girl. I think she shows a big dollop of Terroquita's influence, a la Thunderstorm Trouble.
- Hazzanghoul, brooding in bed, and then charming Ash out of a sulk.
