Learning to Crawl: Studies for a Cast of Thousands for WOTI #4

Here are some of the sketches and rough layouts I'm doing for War of the Independents #4. It is the all-humor issue of the biggest indy crossover of all time, and I'm doing my homework, learning to draw everybody else's characters in the universe.

Rough layout for the page two splash next to sketchbook studies of The Toxic Avenger, The Tick, and Protoplasman. Above right is a print out of Dave Ryan's page one with Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkaman. Characters are ™ and  © their respective creators.

Betty, Veronic, Jughead, Super Duck, and Archie studies (along with The Shield). How to reconcile Bob Montana with Dan DeCarlo? Characters are ™ and  © their respective creators.

Pokey, Gumby, and the Toxic Avenger. Characters are ™ and  © their respective creators.

Felix the Cat, Bone, Cerebus, Mr. Spook, Flaming Carrot, and Yosagi Yojimbo, with Zippy the Pinhead and Milk and Cheese, all in an early state. Characters are ™ and  © their respective creators.

One decided advantage is I can model for The Toxic Avenger without hardly trying! Scary.
