Adverts!

 

After getting back on the horse with deciding to bring Bone Boy Billy back to life last October the first thing I realized I wanted to do was complete a series of advertisement drawings for the comic. Little pitches to give you the feel for the main characters you're gonna meet. I drew one back in 2023, which was the first post of the blog, but I had several in mind. 

George's was pretty easy to figure up. Little demon baby, he's up to no good. Summoning some trouble. How can that baby even read? I was never sure if I was gonna keep the goatee or not and I'm glad I dropped it. The 'stache is enough for the little dude. 

My very first advert idea. I still really love this slogan. 

Zindy's advert. Was still getting a feel for drawing her character again after not drawing her for a whole year. She doesn't actually have a broom in the comic. Again, these were more about capturing a certain vibe of the character. Convey that she's a hippie witch mom. 

Nancy's Advert. I drew this one second to last because I just couldn't get the angle/perspective I wanted on the sword. It's still not entirely right. Looks more like she's got a massive sword rather than she's pointing it at you. Oh well. It conveys the character nicely and again no, she doesn't really have a sword. She only ever really uses the trustee Stab-Bat.

Oltan's Advert. I never really came up with a joke that fit him as well as the others. Re-used the "I'm like the wind, baby." concept art because that's my favorite image of him in my head. Just this overly confident little dude.

Our final advert and it's for Max, the Vampire Skellington! I'm actually working on his debut right now! It's gonna be our first multi-part story and lots of fun. Max is a character I'm super excited to share with you all. This is one of my favorites as I feel I worked out a few more details of his design while drawing this.

If you like the comic, I'd really appreciate you sharing these little adverts to help get our name out there!
