Ok, more art is going up on the site almost every week! I’ve been alternating between posting new (or at least “new to you!”) illustrations and con sketches and new Soul Chaser Betty stuff. This week, I’m adding some new Betty stuff that is actually quite old, but never before seen by a lot of fans: original character designs!
First up, we have our core cast of characters. It was actually way back in 2014 when I decided to start a new Soul Chaser Betty story. That book, Slumber Party of DOOM!, wouldn’t see publication until 2019 (hey, I had a day job and I did my best, you know) but there was a lot of work put into it before I even started drawing the first page.
What you’ll find here are my “re-designs” of Betty, Rolf, Grammy, Tonya, and Keith. The original series had ended in 2004 with issue 6, and the last time I had really drawn these characters was probably 2007, when I went back and cleaned up some art and added new scenes for the graphic novel release. So that was 7-10 years of being away from these characters, but my style had also evolved quite a bit over that time. I needed to remind myself how to draw the characters and update them to something more “Modern BMAN.”
So, here they are with some commentary. These will now live in the Soul Chaser Betty Design Gallery. I’ll be adding more over the coming months with these updates, including costume and creature designs from Slumber Party of DOOM! as well as the new story!
