SSB Preview (Patreon Repost)

Hey so I'm working on turning what used to be Dead into Second Street Blues. I'm writing everything from near scratch, using the old notes and stuff I have from Dead and I quickly recorded this little bit from what I've written today.

This is super bare bones (there's not even music) but with the final version of each episode I'd like to do something more akin to what I did with the last episode of The Hunted that went up (I literally have the next one written and I'm just waiting for a day I have the silence to record for a long period of time) and have a bunch of sound effects and music in it.

I just wanted to post this here for y'all to hear and give me any feedback. I'm going to be workshopping the voices I use for everyone (the cast is big, 11 main characters...) so this definitely isn't final.

Some VERY old Dead (Patreon Repost)

That one is from 2010. It was the first thing I drew after I'd come up with Jack, Clem and Victoria. The rest of the cast didn't exist and the story was completely different.

That was the entire page, I never finished it, lol. Trivia: the last panel? is actually a photo from my home town that I drew over.

This was a little while later. Sometime in 2011. Still only Clem, Jack and Victoria existed. Vicky has always been anxious.

DEAD Cover - Jack and Clem.jpg

The original cover. I spent forever on that thing and goddamn does it look like shit now. I don't hate the composition though.

This was later 2011 I think? After I'd decided how Jack was going to die. I'm still gonna use this scene I think.

Who needs to draw action? BIG LETTERS!

I also don't exactly hate everything about this page either. I mean it looks like shit but some of the angles are decent. What happened to me?

Okay I really need to work this design into current Clem honestly cause I still really dig it. I don't mind this cover.

GODS I remember doing that fucking book page. Also Gabby, please, don't do close ups on faces you can't draw them right.

Alright I don't hate those first three panels. I actually conveyed movement for once. And her arm exploding is kinda cool. Huh...might have to use this stuff again.

I remember I was living in Texas when I drew this. I remember specifically waiting for Doctor Who to come on while I finished up the lightning. Huh, weird.

So yeah that's a trip down memory lane. Maybe I can find some old files for Hunted at some point too.
