A new face

I've grown weary of my face avatar. It just seems small, inorganic, and a misuse of space. On a card it seems alright but in a 300x300 box on the interwebs it just doesn't look the best I can do. After commenting on a couple of webcomic sites I've realized I haven't changed my previous avatar:

I really like it's simplicity, expression and style. I would use it again, but my hair is longer and I want to do something that cartoonizes my current look. Here's some sketches of what I've done so far:

I kept the white eyes and the straight face and added the facial hair. The one at the bottom is more realistic, but I liked the design of the others.

This is an inked version. I might add a bit of shading to it. what do you guys think? Too stylized? Needs work? And if you think it's too creepy, let me present the creeper versions of myself:

Also on comics, I haven't been doing any comics on here lately because I've been busy preparing a few for a new site. I should have them up soon and hopefully the site will be ready to visit, but if all goes well and I'm not crazy with my schedule, I should have three new comics to show you guys! Well, two new comics, one of them I've already done on here(try and guess which one!).

Brother Rabbit and Christmas

I had a lot of fun with this one. I like Brother Rabbit because he's so easy and fun and creepy to draw. Expect to see more of him.

And yes, the header is making fun of the yogi bear poster.

I kind of want to make "HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS OR ELSE" Brother Rabbit Greeting cards, but I'm not sure who would buy them. Maybe when he gets a larger following.

What do you guys think? Too creepy?

Also, this was for a secret santa project.

Brother Rabbit and Acquaintances

Finally got to finish the comic I started Friday. This month I wanted to do some comics dedicated to Brother Rabbit(even though the month is half over)! It'll give me a chance to focus more on my storytelling and my backgrounds. Also, I'm going to try out the Monday-Wednesday-Friday comic schedule, so Wednesday is going to be my big 150th comic celebration! Wooo!

The return of Brother Coon

It's the return of Brother Coon! I really want to bring these guys back because I love the style and creepiness, but I'm totally lost as to what the story should be.

Oh and if you're completely lost as to who this is, you should check out these four comics!

Brother Rabbit and Brother Coon Part 1

I know I haven't put up a comic in a couple of days, but that's only because I've been working on this! It's based on a homework assignment I found in the book "Drawing Words and Writing Pictures" (which is very informative on creating comics). The assignment is to create a comic based on the old African American folktale "Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Coon, and the frogs." So obviously, I tried to make it look as creepy as possible. This is part 1 of a 4 part mini series. So hopefully I'll have the next one up by tomorrow and the next 2 by next week.

Hooray!
