#gone unsupervised!

The whole thing

A closer look under the cut:

If any of my followers who's been around since the beginning still remembers these guys, holy crap.

Anyways, this is now for a comic strips/series of short comics project titled ‘Gone Unsupervised!’ and also for my reference when I draw them in general.

These characters have been with me for over 10 years now and this may be the first time I've actually done a lineup of them digitally, haha.

Extras below:

Moving onto the lines

lol (removing his glasses)

Here’s the first four again. Beginning by outlining their body types.

First is for reference, next is for getting an overview of the variety (which hopefully exists, because I don’t want two characters to be too similar, haha). Also, doing this would be useful for when I draw their different outfits over them in the future.

Suppose the only two characters who I deliberately made similar in both height and body shape was Jaqui and Ben 2.0, since I’ve come up with scenarios where they’d cover for each other with crappy disguises.

Anyways, I’ve actually increased the height of Ben 2.0 a little. Here’s the whole lineup so far, again

Part of the '2.0 Movement' involves writing "icles" after "MATHS TEST" in secret

A time they went crabbing. This should last the twelve of them a couple dinners if they're lucky. Felix is trying to convince everyone it's about time to pull up one of the nets.

No blur under the cut:

The whole thing

A closer look under the cut:

I did the remainder of the first part of the line art just now.

Here’s the second four. I dunno why I added numbers to their shirts, I just felt like it, haha.

Kind of unrelated, but Eric is low-key reminding me of Ulgar Zweig from Astra Lost in Space…

Not just in his hair and expression, but also [mild spoilers] how he’s so caught up in revenge and exacting justice. …Although Eric is to a more comedic extent.

Here’s the third four. Note that these guys are all somewhere between 160-170cm, it’s just that their heads might be too big due to cartoon logic, haha.

I actually increased Ben’s height a tiny bit, here. I know he’s the youngest of the twelve (14-15, birth month December), he’s short and one of the thinnest, but I still wanted him to look like teenager. I might have to adjust his appearance later on.

Also, maybe I want to change a little bit of Barley’s appearance…

Here’s the whole house together now.

Thinking about the heights, I don’t feel like they’re the most accurate… maybe I need to adjust those too, because holy crap some of them are actually so tall. I mean, sure, they’re not the most normal teenagers in the world, and a lot of their surnames sound totally ‘alien’ and as if trying to mimic humans, but still.

(Another note about their weird surnames: some of them are pun names. Some of them are part of old pun names combined with their first names and turned into something else. Some of them were pun names and re-spelled to imitate the sounds of certain languages. At least one of them, I made up on the spot. I have been using these since 2014-2018 and I don’t think they’re changing any time soon, haha. Whatever, these guys are weird)
