Kickstarter Sketches
Shaenon: I’ve been busy filling orders for the Skin Horse 3 Kickstarter drive, and I’m up to the backers who get bonus character sketches. The above was for either Artie or a Hot Goblin, so I did both.
A couple more sketches:
Channing: Artie’s secret shame: Revealed! Also, is there anything more adorable than the simple joy Dr. Lee experiences when contemplating brains? No.
ahh brains
such a nice example, im so impressed by the form of the hippocampus here
Ooh, Unity’s reading Shelley! Oh, the other Shelley…
“Just a little one, medium dry, and Alfred Lord.”
Unity under a patchwork quilt. Cute visual pun.
(TUNE: “Have You Ever Seen The Rain”, Creedence Clearwater Revival)
When I had a book to make,
Lots of money it would take …
I know! I’ll just use Kickstarter!
I will draw a sketch for you,
For an extra buck or two …
Come on! It’s not that much harder!
[CHORUS:]
It’s quite a show! Have you ever seen a brain?
Smooshy like dough! Have you ever seen a brain,
Coming out in the light of day?
Artie’s brain’s inside his head …
Ginny’s is already dead …
Which one, if you had to choose it?
Unity’s is just like flan …
Got it from a Congressman …
It’s fresh, ’cause he’d never use it!
[repeat CHORUS]
Oh my goodness, that Unity is adorable.
I asked for either Dr. Lee or artist’s choice, and got a lovely picture of Dr. Lee with a brain in a jar. And, as a bonus, a picture of a silverfish on the envelope, and a small sketch of Sweetheart above the book’s signature. (I suspect everybody got those last two, but I’m going to pretend they didn’t and it was just for me.)
I feel spoiled.
