Introducing Kiefer to y'all.

For Intro to Sequential, we had to create a character, who we would later use in a comic strip, a one pager, and a three pager; so here, I have Kiefer Droozmin (last name curtesy of the Illustrious Crackpot), who works for the galatic government, some place in space; originally, I reeeeeeeeeeeeally hated him, but now he's one of my favorite characters I've created thus far.

For one of the assignments, we had to make up ten expressions, and then match them up to body language in silhouette form. This is where I started to like Kiefer, just a little. Actually, it was only after I'd finished; actually drawing Kiefer is a pain in the ass. But I'm usually happy with how he looks afterwards. Usually.


I got a little carried away, and gave him a family and all. These doodles weren't for class, I just felt like drawing them; I figure since he's pretty much epic fail in most areas of life, and all his coworkers hate him, he needs at least one place where he's wanted. So, he has a good family. His daughter is Lucy; his girlfriend/fiancee is Tina. I wanted to make them married, but I don't know. I kinda like this scandalous relationship. :P


This is the comic strip we had to do; basically, our character had to climb over something, no dialogue.


The one pager; same gist, just make it one page. Out of the three assignments, this is my least favorite. The upset fish kid in the last panel is named Harold; my friend Jen named him. She said he seems like the kind of kid whose birthday would get ruined every year.


And the three pager! Despite its many, many flaws (that I won't go on about here), I am really proud of this. Lucy came out so adorable, I nearly cried while drawing it. Don't ask. I'm too emotional when it comes to cute kids. I also added Harold in again, but he doesn't seem as wonderful as he did in the one pager. Oh well.




My teacher (Chris Schweizer) drew this one. :) Since I drew his characters awhile ago after reading The Crogan Adventures, he did this in return. Which is especially awesome, because I wasn't expecting it. So, yeah. I aim to become better than this one day. Just watch me.


Whoo, big post! I'm still planning to work on the Galileo and Bohemia thing this summer, but Kiefer shall get his fair share of doodles too. Though I miss drawing Norman, so I think I'll get to that soon.

That is all, my dearies.

Later days,
