Hi Res Early Access: JennyCave Special Edition (Patreon)

At last, for your Throwback  Thursday, it's the all new version of JennyCave!

The original JennyCave isthe first art I posted on the internet--on a Yahoo Club for She-Hulk fans. It was sketched in pencil, traced on a lightbox, scanned into the computer and colored (with a mouse!) in either Adobe PhotoDeluxe or an early incarnation of Photoshop Elements. It was then imported into, I kid you not, a Word Document, where I used the shape tools and the dreaded Comic Sans to letter it, making it my first digital comic. It was very well received by the club, and so began the long and winding path to an actual art career.

Now, over 20 years later, I finished an update. Sketched in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil, then inked, and colored in Clip Studio Paint Pro on the same iPad. Lettering was done in Clip Studio Paint EX on my laptop, using balloon materials included in the program and fonts from Blambot.com including BackIssue, Blowhole, One Two Punch and Damn Noisy Kids. What a crazy 20 years it's been.

The comic is actually based on an old Incredible Hulk newspaper strip that I remembered reading as a kid. I found it online and you can see it below:
