Heeeeer'es Jonah!


Of course it isn't entirely finished, otherwise it wouldn't be an original "Shobo". His left hand is still missing since I have no idea how to draw it, but this was a lot of fun to finally put down on paper.

I'd like my copy signed, please.

That'll be... let me see... 5 kroner, 10 kroner, 50 kroner! Oh wait, that's another 10 ...

I love the retro style and the texure, the color scheme is great too! So what is the status on this, is the story finished, are you printing them?
And by the way, if you look at the end of your left arm I think you may find all the hand reference you need.

Hi Michelle,

THanks a bunch! The status is that the story for the first book is finished, I'd like to print them, but the first book isn't drawn yet. If I can get my portfolio pieces done by my August 3rd deadline I'll be moving on to tackling the art for the book itself.

Also, my left arm is steadfastly refusing to co-operate.

This is fantastic. I can't freaking wait. I love this character and I love the story.

Thanks Shane, I actually just got done with page one last night, hopefully I can keep working at a steady clip and get a decent amount of work done over the next two months.

This is beautiful shooboo! The colors are so cozy and nostalgic. I'm going to pre-order a copy for Lucy to read. Then I'll make her read them "REEEEAD IT!" I'll shout.

HEY ERICA!!

That's so sweet, I'll sleep soundly at night in the knowledge that somewhere out there, Lucy's first words will be "In the vastness of SPACE!..."
