In between my other comic projects I found myself working on something I'd wanted to do just for fun for a long time. When I self-published my Little Brother graphic novel, being about a soul retrieval I performed on myself to reconnect with and heal a younger part of myself, I included one of the earliest comics I'd ever drawn to honor that young boy of me to see his work actually published. The comic was a four page adventure called Space Shark about a race of space-faring sharks.
In Little Brother, though, I just included what were basically photocopies of my original work, which was drawn in pencil on lined paper. So recently I took those photocopies as if they were my own penciled pages, and I inked them in, trying to stay true to the original lines as if the younger me had done the inking. Then I uploaded them, ran them through a couple filters, and used an editing program to attempt to clean up the splotches as well as the original college-ruled blue lines, leaving, in essence, what the comic may have looked like had the younger me drawn it on actual drawing paper and had finished it off by inking it.
It was a fun side project and I'm happy to present it here:
