Randomness

Trying to keep the updates a little more on the timely side. Here are a couple of character sketches.

It's been really nice to draw again, even though I'm under the gun with a couple of coloring deadlines. So if you're really jonesin' to see something new while waiting on DLG news, head on over to Geekenweizen. John and I are constantly updating with new art and beer reviews.

As always, drop me a comment. Let me know what you think.

What Was

Thought I'd start out by telling a little about the project and posting the two page story that I did.

She's a character that is inspired by my 4 year old daughter. Who, in the upcoming episodes, will be doing a little writing and drawing of her own for it.

The story behind DLG started with me coloring a book for Lawdog Comic's Jim Heffron, called Territory 51 (you can check out some pages in my Gallery section).

In the process of making that book, Jim and my family became good friends. When I brought up an idea that I had about a character based on my daughter, he told me that he was going to be putting together a "jam book", the Lawdog Primer, and he basically made me draw the 2 pages that are in there. ;)

I had talked to my wife about my ideas but was having a lot of trouble thinking of a way to tie them all together, and she stepped up to the plate and did all the writing. And those are the 2 pages that appear here as well as in the Primer.

After the book was published, we talked a lot about how we didn't want to put another "Wednesday Addams" clone out there. There are enough little spooky "goth" girl characters. We really want DLG to stand out. So we've completely revamped the premise! Turned DLG's world upside down and I'm really excited with the new direction.

So...even tho I'm a little embarrassed by these 2 pages, if it weren't for them, this project wouldn't be where it is today.

Beginning

Here it is. Hopefully, the first of many posts to keep everyone up to date with the latest happenings of Daddy's Little Ghoul.

We're completely reworking the core concept of DLG and I couldn't be happier. New direction, new characters...new everything. Unfortunately it's pushed the launching of the site back a bit but it's definitely going to be worth it.

Our goal is to have the site up and running by this year's San Diego Comic Convention and have merchandise for sale at Wizard World Chicago .

In the meantime, keep checking back here for exclusive sketches and designs as we count down the days.
