Hackberry Hollow

Well, a raven or a crow. She’s one of those two. I guess both species look so alike that it doesn’t matter too much. But one thing for sure is that she is all crazy.

Recently a lot of the character design concepts I’ve been posting on the blog have been flat shaded or two-tone. For today I wanted to post a character that has been painted. We are not exactly sure what style the comic is going to be rendered in, but I seem to come back to this painted-outlined style a lot. It ‘s a lot more organic and raw than the inked and filled look that you see in animation and many other webcomics, but it’s loose enough that I don’t have to fully paint every detail, which the outlined aspect of the style works very well with.

We are going to experiment will tons of different rendering styles and post the results.
