Designing a character is very much a “fuck around and find out” sort of a process. You have to iterate as much as possible. One of my college professors would always push the mantra “Fail faster!” to encourage us to draw as much as possible until we find the right one.
Well, Kyra started out way different than she did today. Here’s the first bit of exploratory drawing and silhouettes I went through to design her.
Ah, yes, “triangle with hat.” It’s gotta be one of my favorite genders. haha!
I can’t believe that I’ve finally made three episodes of The Forester! It’s been a wild journey learning about comic creation, discovering my own style, and learning how to improve my art skills.
I’m planning on making the episodes be shorter than the you’ve seen in the first three. This is so that I can deliver a regular weekly upload schedule instead of one episode taking me almost two months to create! I know how the internet is and if I don’t feed you readers regular stuff each week, I can kiss my dreams of making this a full-time gig goodbye.
Thank you for reading The Forester!
You can read episodes for free two weeks early on my website: https://flyingweaselcomics.com
