More Swift concepts

The colored "turnaround" is where I'm at with Swift's redesign so far. then I just started doodling her in some goofy poses.

This drawing style being used here is more in the direction I'll be going with the drawings for the comic pages.

The Bloodspill version of this sheet will be posted exclusively to our Patreon supporters!

Re-working Swift's design after putting more thought into her character has really made me fall in love with her. Previously I had a bit of a love-hate relationship with her. I liked what she stood for in my mind, but never really got to the point with the old story where she made any interesting or meaningful decisions. So what we saw of her was just wasn't that interesting. Reader's love and support for her ironically just compounded my disappointment with her. She was the star and symbol of the BBA world - yet wasn't up to my standards -I thought she could be more. After I stopped the old comic I never wanted to draw her and she's been the hardest character to revive and redesign. It's been a struggle. But I finally feel like I'm almost there with her, and really feeling the "closeness" that an author wants to be able to feel with their main character.
