 | Well, here it is, the late-night trip which started it all. Yes, it's the very first drawing I ever did of our darling Zebra Girl, preserved here for all of time. Subtle changes are obvious, but the basic design has remained more or less consistent. Ah, this brings back such memories... one at least.
|
| God, I hate doing two takes. Funny story though, the lighting guy screwed up so I was in silhouette the whole time, and it seemed a little cool so I toyed with the idea of remaining in shadow and not showing my face. Of course, the inking proved overwhelming and Max BlackRabbit probably would've sued me or something. Oh, most of the dialogue's been boxed out since I deemed it too embarrassing to show. Plus I'm a selfish prick.

| See that one on the top? That was my first attempt at a Zebra Girl comic strip. As you can see, I had no idea what I was doing. This later became the basis for comic number 4.
|
| This is another one I started way before I actually got to it in the storyline. By then I had noticed various ways it could be improved and replaced it with what became comic number 15, but it was a tough choice. When you work on something for a long time your expectations for it are hard to let go of. Still, I can't deny how much better Sandra looks in the second version.
|
 | This was my first concept of what became Jack. I called him Hentai and made him for a role-playing game which never panned out. The emphasis was, of course, clearly on the "pervert" aspect of his personality. I was always especially fond of the Hypervert armor design.
|
 | This was to be Sandra and Crystal's initial meeting with Sam (Re:) until I realized the schedule called for one big comic rather than two little ones. See, we cartoonists are wild rebels, and therefore subconsciously reluctant to follow any kind of routine. Yeah.
