Description
Enter Otto!I stayed up really late one night making that "Jupiter" logo. Why didn't anyone tell me making logos was so hard? Glob, it took like three hours! It ended up looking kinda graffiti-like, which is... good?
Otto's one of my favoritest character designs to date.
He seems pretty simple, but it's soooo much fun to draw a character who's older, freckled, blonde (yes there are idiots who judge people by their hair color), has a big nose, and is a little over weight (which you can't see here since it's a frontal bust shot, but you can see it on his design sheet or on the next page.). And he's a main character. Usually dudes like this are the sidekick. I'm having a blast drawing him!
Anyway. Hopefully my artsy cover here tells you something about his personality. You can see the textless version of this on my Tumblr .

Logos are indeed hard. I seem to struggle with them myself. However, I say your efforts pulled through. That's a pretty good looking logo. Really love this technique of yours (as always). Really good colours and lighting here.

did I ever mention that I really dig the coloring texture in your comics? because I do. it really keeps the pages from becoming too plain.

Thanks! I'm glad you think it looks good. It's the best method of coloring I could find that I could do in under half an hour. ^.^

Otto, the Everyman Hero, I like him already.
I've always wondered why characters like Otto have been relegated to the "sidekick" role for decades, many (like Andy Devine) I found more interesting than the "hero".

I think TV thinks we're not ready for people who aren't conventionally beautiful.

Hm, maybe if this one gets really popular you'll see a Jupiter tag on a train one day.
