Meet Globeman!

Later today on the OWC blog, you’ll see the first of two commissioned comics featuring the OWC mascot, Globeman, written and drawn by yours truly. His original design (which you can see on the OWC blog now) didn’t sport eyes or a mouth (two important attributes to have for a comic character to emote), so I had to make those adjustments to the character.

Below you can see a few preliminary concepts of the character that I developed and sent to OWC for their approval:

One of the big differences in the panel up above vs the concept drawings is that I used the circle tool in Painter to provide a much more consistent body for the character. (Drawing large, round perfect circles with the Wacom stylus took me a lot of trial and error.)

Anyway, you should be seeing the first comic up later today. I’ll be updating two comics per month on the OWC site for at least the next two months – if you dig ’em, please let the folks at OWC know. Thanks!

Enjoy! :)
