I admit, I’ve been swimming around a void as far as inspiration goes so I decided to go back to the basics and basically use Glen as a paper doll like I used to do as a teenager. Isn’t he a peach?!
I know, these music genres seem really random, and they are! I chose them by which I thought would be amusing to draw. I may have missed the mark on a few but the rest? Adorable. And yes, circus and bubblegum are real music genres, if you don’t believe me ask YouTube.
The Making of Glen
This week’s Glen started with a random image in my head of Glen covered in bubble gum, weeping piteously because it popped on him, but could I make that into a whole comic?! It was a stretch but yes, I managed.
What did I learn? I learned that making a caterpillar look angry is REALLY hard. I need to work on his facial expressions hardcore. Also it’s no easier to put make-up on Glen as it is myself. Fucking impossible. I don’t know how you ladies, painted gents, and other make-up lovin’ folk do it. Seriously. HOW?
Also I didn’t mean to cross dress Glen, and maybe I didn’t, but there’s a little playful genderfuckery in here. I appreciate that. I think so do these musical genres. I still have no idea how Glen ended up looking so feminine in the punk one though… that… I just have no explanation for.
