Of Goats and Pandas

Terrance was one of the characters I spent the longest working on before I finally started his story. Initially I didn't plan to take Terrance into Episode 8, but so many people really liked Terry, so I decided to alter the plot a bit to include him. Hey, he may even find some use beyond Episode 8 as well. As you can see, his design has changed a whole lot. Even earlier designs have him way chubbier, too. Here Terrance is pictured with an early version of Lowe the gravedigger, who will show up in Episode 9.

Here is another early version of Terrance alongside some early versions of Gorton. He started out being more grunge than goth, but that wasn't what I was going for. I altered his design a bit, and as you can see in the middle, made him one of the shorter members of the cast. This gives you an idea of how long Terry was in development; I was working on him even before Episode 5 started.

Surely by now you've heard that Lancaster is being thrust, kicking and screaming into the print dimension via Radio Comix. Since the earlier pages have a lot of really bad art(and some good ones! don't get me wrong!), and because I've wanted to change a few story ideas without any kind of retconning, I'm redrawing the whole story from scratch.

Lancaster is being serialized into Radio Comix's 'Furrlough' magazine, and though the issue of Lancaster's debut is about to hit the stands, that's not gonna stop me from showing off some of the pages a bit early. Be back here tomorrow to see a few side-by-side comparisons of the original pages with the new ones to give you an idea of what to expect.
