Side comic character concepts (Patreon)

So seeing how I'll be freelancing next year and might actually try harder to make this comic work (if I'm not buried under work for hire stuff), I decided to dig up a side comic me and Io started and do a bit more drawing (and a bit of writing) on it. Can't reveal much plot-wise yet other than it will be dealing with Lin's background which I'm sure many will find fascinating :D I don't think I'd have it freely available, but it would be a great material for Patrons and a printed/PDF edition once it's complete.

Consistency is a huge issue for me so I thought I'd be thorough with designing the new character's features. I'm sure he'll continue to evolve, but hopefully it'll get to the point where I can draw him from any angle with little struggle (meanwhile Dan remains impossible to get right...It's a curse.) Should probably stop being lazy and do a proper render in full-height, too.

And here's some Lins. (both designs are legit, just from different time periods)

Speaking of younger Lins, here's my first attempt  at her design back when she was just a dopey weirdo student. It became redundant once I came up with some actual background/origins for her, but still fun. And here's another one , closer to her current country girl look (and paired up with a weirdly tall stick figury Eve for some reason)
