ART POST - Stylistic experimentation doodles (Patreon)

The folks on discord have probably already seen these, but I was doing a bit of stylistic experimentation over the weekend with the Ladykillers cast + Seb and Octavia!

I've reached a bit of a crossroads in terms of the look/feel/aesthetic of the different comics I work on, and I wanted to make an effort to be more intentional about the stylistic choices I make in both.  To that end: I've been thinking of leaning into a more noir-inspired aesthetic for Kismet, with more high-contrast shading/more intentional use of silhouettes. And for Ladykillers, I was thinking of pivoting into a more cartoonish look, to complement the screwball comedy elements!

I'm still playing around with things, but I figured I'd put my thoughts down on paper here so you guys have a bit more insight into what's going on with my creative process. 😁
