So, I’ve been working on the mindgator comic pretty much constantly. There was a story outlined and even pages drawn before I started but somewhere in the posting of pages I realized a lot of the larger themes breathing just beneath the surface of my story. Some unexpected left-turns were made to answer those themes and now I am in unscripted territory.
But this is not the first time. Elbis was drawn in much the same way. A kind of “gonzo comic” of my life in Tokyo. Although I suppose in the world of art, that could be a bit redundant.
The “maneki” cat above is the chapter symbol for chapter 1. It is taken from the object dangling from the end of Mai’s electro-gun on page 10. It is a symbol of luck or wealth depending on which arm is raised. My idea being that you’d want a little luck or wealth in your job so in this case, Mai puts it on her gun, her work tool.
The evelution of the chapter titles is something that I’m currently hammering out for the print version of the book but for the time being I’ll leave the titles for chapters 1 and 2 in their current state. Chapter 3 is the final form of chapter titling I’ll be using, I think.

Ryoko Hakubi, from the “Tenchi” series, and one of my all time favorites.
I was listening to my music earlier, and Ryoko’s theme happened to pop on. I took a little break from what I was working on to sketch this.

Fabienne Verdier paints with unconventionally large tools. She creates her own brushes, made from substances like sheep hair, duck down, or horse hair, sometimes reaching 6 feet long and over 150 pounds. The brushes are suspended with rope, and then handled physically, or with the help of a pair of bicycle handlebars
