Mel is my one handed comic heroine.  Echoes of Distant Stars.  Starting to compile images for a collage comic;  I’ll just post sneak peaks as I go.  Once I have the basic story done, I’ll collage the pieces into photoshop.

Image 1: Mel’s Portrait.  Graphite and colored pencil on wood.  I asked my fiance to write some code to incorporate into an art piece.  The above is what he wrote with a smirk and said every coder started with that sort of thing.  I thought Hello World seemed appropriate for meeting Melonia.  So that’s what the text says.

I like the name Mel.  I have a childhood friend named Melody.  That was the initial name, but I decided to change it to a more foreign name to embrace the surreal aspect of the comic.

Image 2: Mel meets the clover Fennec.  Pencil and digital.  Fox with clover on head.
