#rotfable

It occurs to me that a lot of time has passed and I have gained a lot of followers since the last time I posted Rotfable, so:

Rotfable is, roughly, the story of two kids who are between life and death, but it is mostly the story of Apollo who is trying to mind his own business, and the god who will not leave him alone.

And on your left, you can see me, practicing speech bubbles and lettering with original jokes that are probably not nearly as funny out of context.

Veil’s design consists mostly of different shades...

He’s so beige that it’s making me imagine the snake that lives in his skull cavity popping out of his eye socket, going “PHWEE” like a rainbow party favor.

And, just for the heck of it, both gods together.

It’s very interesting to see what changed and what didn’t. Unlike some of my other characters who I’ve had for much, much longer, and who are now almost completely unrecognizable from their first incarnation, Ange is pretty distinctly Ange; void-powered, never feet, general air of Knows More Than You, even the staples on either side of her jaw, though they later became rings. 

The first incarnation of Ange was a witch, not a goddess, and there was some nebulous plot of her looking for her eye, that she gave up to... someone, for some reason. I never really thought that through much. She also looked a lot younger than she was for... some reason. I think being a Giant Woman (tm) suits her much better, personally, because the biggest shift between here and current canon is that she’s very, very larger-than-life. 

So, fun fact, the first time I ever drew Veil Grave, I was suffering from period cramps and drew a sad guy with a hole in his chest to... have someone to commiserate with, I guess. This has contributed several longstanding traits to his character, among them the fact that he looks perpetually some degree of miserable. Unless you’re talking about his daughter, where he metamorphoses abruptly into Maes Hughes.
