Welcome to what I am calling an intermission between graphic novels. It’s a short story I drew recently that serves as an introduction into We Shadows Book III. It is called The Secret Origin of Goat and goes far back into the main characters past to explain their origins.
You might notice the style looks a bit different in this than in past We Shadows stories. The main reason is that I drew the other stories over 5 years ago for Tokyopop. So there’s naturally a progression of growth. Another reason is I am not trying to draw in a style that will suit Tokyopop’s line..in other words; as close to Japanese manga as I can manage. This book was drawn exactly the way I wanted it. Totally in my style. Which if I had to describe it would be Wendy Pini meets manga meets Bugs Bunny. But of course I’d love to hear your own assessment of this style.
It will take about 2 months to show the whole book online. Or you can see it all at once while simultaneously becoming a patron of self-published comics for only $5…simply by ordering a hard copy in the right column. That will certainly help ensure that I can afford to take the time to keep producing this obsession of mine.
Is that a little Cthulu playing the harp beneath Oberon’s bat/bird mount?
um…yes
that is amazing, Cthulu not only cause glorious insanity and destruction, but he also plays the harp
wow looks like Oberon invited half the kingdom to come watch the queen gettin it on.
Back then his train went with him everywhere
Is *that* his peeve? But in the present he doesn’t seem to care much for the crown at all.
Maybe that’s it. He feels that Titania and Robin’s affair has robbed the crown of all value.
Revenge often denies itself of any true goals for the sake of more revenge.
This takes place shortly after the nuptial day of Theseus and Hippolyta (at least according to a Midsummer Night’s Dream). So this is THOUSANDS of years ago. Back then his crown was important. He’s changed over the many years
Is it just me or does one faerie in the first panel resemble Krillin in the face?
Maybe it’s the eyes. Although I’ve drawn Krillin thousands of times over the years so i wouldn’t doubt it
LOL. I think it is the eyes.
So I am like the evil Pini
Maybe you are?
I think he’s mad. A bit.
Is that at all like playing pat-a-cake?
