More December 1999 sketches of:
My still unnamed Werewolf character.
Trying to find a “look” for my Werewolf’s Human alter-ego.
And struggling to develop my new Female Vampire character, propelled by the first sketch of her (discussed in my previous Newsletter).
I questioned whether to make the Werewolf’s human form look humorous and cartoony, or more realistic. The scar-faced tough-guy version with the axe, was based on an entirely different character I created for a previous comic book project, drawn in 1993 when I was in Art School.
I have no memory of coming up with the name Batsy. One minute, she had no name, and the next minute, that name popped in my head and I jotted it down on one of the sketches. This may in fact be the first time I ever wrote it.
