"There once was a man called Wright,

He could travel faster than light.

He went off one day

In a Relative way

And came back on the previous night!" - Old limerick, author unknown

Allow me to remind my new Watchers, and those who may have forgotten:

The comic I'm busy writing is set in an alternate, pseudo-Victorian world where magic is real, and co-exists alongside Mad Science. A portion of this world's population are Historical Paradoxes (people from the history of our world (the Old World), currently consisting largely of Victorians, and their family tree that preceded them) and Literary Paradoxes (people, characters, and things from canonised literary works, i.e. Alice, Wendy Darling, Victor Frankenstein, John H Watson, Dr Henry Jekyll, et al). This is very relevant when we look at this guy.

Quentin Wells-Wright is HG Wells' hot-shot, better-at-everything cousin, and currently the owner of a more pristine, well-maintained, better-functioning model of the Time Machine. Quentin is the wealthier of the two cousins, although no one is entirely sure what he does for a living.

Quentin is only a Half-Paradox, because he never existed in the Old World's timeline, and his existence in this timeline can be attributed to a slight change in the family tree (in this case, Wells' father had an extra sibling, a sister who went on to marry a man named Cedric Wright). Unfortunately, there are some areas in Alzechron where these so-called "half-breeds" are discriminated against...

(P.S. "Alzechron" is the name of the world where most of the comic takes place. I'm hinting towards things now!!)

Anyway, this is my current design model for our dear Time Traveller, just for reference when drawing him throughout the comic. I feel like the big one on the left would be him posing for a fancy photograph. Then there's a side-profile, a sketch of him frantically running, and the above-quoted limerick. I also drew him probably exploring some distant time (where he's wearing the goggles), and one where he's leaning on dear little Wells' head. Lastly, there's the one just above that...
