Description
For a project I'm doing with a friend of mine, Rachel.It's hard to explain but basically it's about the old legend that if you put someone to rest the ghost of the person would be so grateful that they would protect you afterwards.
Playing off this idea, we created people and their protector ghosts. Well, I've always had Brad, but anyways. It's just for fun.
From left to right - Bradley Traux, Pence, Isaac, and Gabby. Pence died setting down the railroads back when America was just colonizing and Gabby accidentally 'commited suicide' when she fell asleep smoking a cigarette. Isaac and Gabby are not mine, they are Rachel's. D:
Hope you enjoy! Illustrator is God.

Love this one, and part two as well. Nice linework. Cool characters. What kind of project is it. A comic, an animation, toys?

It's a sort of controlled RP run by my friend and myself I suppose, where people who join get arts by me. I wish it was toys....

These are some spiffy character designs! My favorite is Pence in all his ghostly glowiness. Gabby's color scheme is lovely, too. Isaac is a bit scary, though, I mean the way he is staring at me. And Brad has a nice hat.

Your coloring compliments your style so well. Pence's hair looks magnificent. Jolly good.

That's an awesome premis. I do wonder though, exactly what happened to Pence that he's missing an arm and has two railroad spike's sticking aout of him.

A keg of gunpowder exploded near him sending spikes into him and they removed his arm in an attempt to spare his life, but it didn't work and he bled to death anyways and they buried him by the railroad. I almost put a smiley at the end of this but then I realized I was tlaking about someone dying.

*blush*!! Thank you! You're so sweet, and I'm glad you noticed Brad's out fit clashing, cos that was the point and I absolutely love it because it's ridiculously comical to me. Heheheh. Pence was a victim of someone blowing up a keg of gunpowder too close too him and getting hit with railroad spikes while he was working. They lopped off his arm in order to save his life but he bled to death on the table so they just buried him on the side of the rails.

*very* nice vector coloring here, I especially like the lighting effects. Hehe. "Accidentally committed suicide" isn't exactly the most stereotypical way for a ghost to go. This is sounding pretty interesting. ^^.

Writing about the afterlife is the best.
a) it's totally nifty
and
b) No one can tell you you're wrong.
Unless they're dumb.
Then you can laugh at them.
This looks great.

Oh. My. God.
THAT HAT. I WANT IT!
Permission to make that hat when I learn to use circular knitting needles?! OMG.
I might have issue with the zigzags, BUT I REALLY WANNA TRY TO MAKE THAT HAT FOR THIS FALL. OMG.
I love all of these characters, they all look so independent and original to themselves, not just carbon copies of each other :3

Awww thank you, and of course you are allowed to make that hat. That'd be hot. D:
