And Earl Grey the cat - more commonly called Earl, and referred to as "The Earl".

I want to just draw a comic but there's just so much surrounding stuff that I need to finalise. This was meant to just be a fun little spin-off of Specimens, but the more I do anything with any character or setting or moment or dialogue, the more I realise I haven't fully thought through everything else. It's a pretty convoluted way of writing the saga (I'm writing the either fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh chapter at the moment depending on chronology), but I quite like it. I think, like a jigsaw, while the concepts are slowly fitted in all over the place, I will eventually finish it.

Speaking of the proposed comic (I will feel better about it, perhaps, if I come up with a working title), here are some very unpleasantly drawn character designs that I didn't feel like sharing but I s'pose I should:

 Dan Stoke (x2), Urika Irving and Blaze Trevethen

These will be the three very young (this is a more youthful, naive sub-plot of Specs, so they're only around 10-11) protagonists of the comic. They are reworkings of characters I wrote about years ago, so I do feel comfortable with them.

I'm about ⅙ of the way through writing the script for the comic, then I'll make some storyboards, then... maybe actually draw something. It's been a very long time since I've done any kind of art project, and I really do miss this.
