...sketchbook studying/readjusting - more continuing regardless. Thinking about situating story inspiration... Murdoc's rendezvous with Rosie at their New Venus suite leading to his abduction by Dr. Octagon. Nurse Noodle in the corner there doing her best to not to blow her cover... [Remembering Sal Buscema with a Red Skull design for the Dr.] (Col Erase / Mechanical Pencil / TVPaint)

...sketchbook readjustment - process for working up the next panel of the current page of my spontaneous comic. Lost track of the Gorillaz lore & swore that Murdoc was immortal... part of the Four Horsemen? Walking Embodiment of the Black Plague or something...? The inspiration here was a Kelley Jones panel composition - digging the transition from the space station down to Murdoc rather than Dr. Octagon's head speaking (in the ruffs) / mix of Space Dandy & Ultra Heaven for the space station... also looking at Hewligan's Haircut for some Jamie straight jacket styles (Col Erase / Mechanical Pencil / Ink / Scan Cleaned in TVPaint)

...been really under the weather lately but continuing to sketchbook (on paper that is far too thin for this) with ideas for a Dr. Octagon character - basing his design this time on a mixture of some Alex Horley / Simon Bisley / Tomm Coker while trying to get him in the same world as the Gorillaz stuff I been doing - included Jamie's Frankenstein Girl as nurse & a prototype Boogieman Baby Briefcase from the lab - could that be a cloned Murdoc in there?!
