Description
Hey all! Some peoples were curious about what the oooooold days of CTV looked like, so I went and found the least embarrassing panels from 02 and 03! These are all from long before I started putting CTV online as a webcomic. Most pages had at least one panel that was decent, and sometimes on rare occasions a whole page would look mostly good! I chose these images because for the most part, they aren't getting eaten by the dialogue balloons and they still hold up (somewhat!). Let this be a lesson in perseverance, if I can improve through just doing, everyone can!Also, the biggest tip I can offer is don't skip pre-sketches. i just slapped the pen right on there and just worked my mistakes into the drawing instead of starting with a solid foundation to work from. Therefore, most of my archive (and the former half of the web version too!) is hard to look at! Don't try to run before you can walk! (my inking still sucks though...It's crushing when you spent an hour forming an image with your pencil and then your stupid hand wobbles the pen and ruins someone's face forever, uuggh!)
*EDIT* And yes, I'm aware that Zeno's totally using the wrong "your" in the first comic, it's because the dialogue was supposed to be "you're a werewolf, it will regenerate anyway" and after changing the sentence halfway (running out of room was a constant problem) I forgot to change it to the correct one before inking

Woah... And some of these were completely redone... Namely that second to last one, which, as I recall, was at a completely different angle... I think I saw it recently... This is just so fun. It's like seeing the original sketches for pacman from the creator*...
I really wish I had drawn more when I was younger... But it's not too late! Maybe I should start my own webcomic... ABOUT A ZOMBIE VIKING!!! Oh, wait, no... Or maybe...??? Actually, that's pretty much what the character you inspired is. Not intentionally a rip off, but his character is much more than that, and the story itself would not be the same as that of CTV. Unfortunately, the only style I can draw even remotely well in is far too stylized and cartoony for the seriousness of the plot to be portrayed properly... Oh and did I mention I can't write dialogue? TT^TT...... All hope seems lost... BUT... That is why I am going to college; to learn the skills I need to get my story published, although I believe an anime would do best, and I'm totally rambling... ANYWAY, Thanks again for the inspiration you continually give me.

Woooow... you've really had this story going on for a long time, huh? There's stuff in here that I recognize from much more recent work... My goodness.... Though my favorite is the slavering Menu, he's so adorable and disgusting at the same time!

Aaah, 2003...seeing the latter half of those doodles cause days of Drunkduck nostalgia to come rushing back.
Those were some fun times, drawing #85 and chilling with the webcomic peeps.

The Tony raccoon is too adorable! I want that on a shirt. But I think my favorite is Charby and Zerlocke staring at each other with this surprised look on their face.
