Doc Wottsit Update 5 (Patreon)

The last two days I have been working on sketching and inking the prologue pages for the test comic.

It’s much harder than I was expecting and I can tell you this for certain; when I begin the full comic I am definitely making some changes to the way I do things. Sizes, programs etc etc.

The goal of the test comic was to find issues like these, and to get a feel for the world and characters of Doc Wottsit. When it comes to Doofer, I have succeeded. I have a much better idea of who he is and what he is about. He evolves more every time I work with him. For example; finding new ways to use his face screen to help him emote seems like a fun pastime. 

I also had the most fun designing a forest of Arbadrylo trees.  Arbadrylo trees have multicoloured fruit containing a pigment used in popular hair dyes. The trees are pollinated by fibres that attach themselves to Plagders who fly from tree to tree. The Arbadrylo fruit’s 6 color look, along with some other elements I wont mention right now, have lead to the LGBT community of Doc’s Homeverse adopting it as their official fruit. Drylotinis are very popular and the drink of choice for famous drag queen Barbra Drylo. 

I also did some work designing logos for Doc, another character and the instagram style app they all use, but I’m not fully happy with it yet. Maybe next week.
