I realize that I left you, darling reader, with a bit of a cliff hanger. A new comic will be forthcoming next week…but for right now you must make do with more new-old content. Namely, early character sheets! Holy evolution!
Old and crappy. Nice.
This first one is probably one of the earliest surviving drawings of the kids (minus Shelley, she came a little bit later). You can tell, because at the time they were still attending an elementary school instead of a boarding school for geniuses. I can’t remember exactly when I switched over, but it was canonical (HA) by the time I started my first mini-comic with the kids in 2001.
You can see from this drawing of Been that the core of the characters was there early on, but the designs have changed quite a bit over time. A lot of times simply because I changed the tool I was using.
Not worse, but not better.
I think this one comes from right around the time I did that first mini-comic mentioned above. Maybe if you’re lucky I’ll show you that someday. It really looks awesome. Honest.
