I happened upon this site a few days ago but did not wish to register until I had something to contribute. I work a bit slowly sometimes, though these days I have a bit more time to dedicate to drawing. This is a preliminary sketch of a furry character that I am planning to create some stories around. I hope to have an inked, and finally a color version posted before very long.
Comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks!
Here is an earlier sketch. The character looks very different, I changed the way she looks because this version looks a bit like a character that a friend of mine published many years ago (well, with about 175 fewer lbs of muscle) and I wanted to avoid any concern over copyrights. This sketch was drawn in 2002. Now, this isn't what I meant when I said I work slow! :-X
re: Stories… Due to some problems with my hands (RSI and arthritis, affecting the index/middle fingers on my right hand primarily) I am spending a lot less time on the computer (and the XBox) and that has provided me with lots of extra time to draw. So I decided I would try to get published again, aiming for something like an anthology comic. I was published in Radio Comix' FURRLOUGH many years ago, and it seems like a nice fit. I won't be under a deadline if I provide completed stories, and since it's an anthology I am under no pressure to produce X number of pages on any sort of schedule but my own.
Of course, this assumes that they won't turn down a comic based around mild Lovecraftian horror themes with a muscular female protagonist! But if that is the case, I will just post them on my website and no one comes out any poorer.
Did you contribute to Radio Comixs? I remenber seeing that type of character in FURRLOUGH 🙂
I did the pencil artwork for a story that ran in issues 24 and 26 (back in 1993 or 1994).
They don't run superhero stories in FURRLOUGH, that is correct. I would not be offering them a superhero story. While the protagonist will be a tall and muscular character, she won't be wrecking buildings and juggling automobiles. She'll be doing more straightforward adventure stuff, and hopefully looking downright fabulous the whole time!
In any event, it's a good thing FURRLOUGH isn't a color strip, I am just lost when it comes to coloring anything, as you'll see below. First, the inked drawing (no shading, just linework) and then the color version…
More artwork to come soon (less fur, more human!), though I have a busy week and weekend ahead.
