So I’m back on track with Magenta Star. The hairstyles for a couple of the male characters are giving me trouble. The only style that works on the character code-named “Silver Spoon” makes him look entirely too much like out buddy the Archduke. What can I say, sometimes a design just works! So I’m going to need to move in a different direction with S.S.

Another character, code-named “Piggy” bounced off the page when I was sketching this weekend. I was struggling with him as well, but he finally clicked. His hair isn’t working either. Sometimes I wish I could make them both bald, but that just makes them look old, and we’re going for youthful.

You say you want to see these character designs? Sorry, gang, it’s top secret. Official art is to come, I promise, but we’re not there yet.

Meanwhile, I’m going to start up a new blog with some videos of me sketching. So I guess it would be called a “vlog.” More info on that soon.

Here is Miss Star dressed as Mr. Beat. See? Things are being drawn!
