I was keen to get it published in time for Halloween.

I'll continue to update (paint, etc) it as I go.

It started out with this creative brief that I put together about 6 weeks ago. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rs3-yULaMdj9TkU8sQNEAnDP5w8GQg7rC8D0eEIq-Jw

After the brief, I laid out all the frames in chalk on the wall (guaranteed to be super rough sketching that way haha)

Love the art process, from wall sketches to studying poses and characters. Page layouts are good, very creative.
Main points to improve, that are sure to come with more time at the drawing board: anatomy, textures and style!
