Tessa 2010

I did a search on my name and found my online friend Moho/Affinity's links to my old Tessa story that I did back in college and posted a few years ago. It was only partially finished, and I've been thinking of finishing up at least some of my old things that I always thought I would get to, so I pulled up the old files. There's no pressure now so I'm just discovering how to ink all over again. It's a little weird going over my old pencils from over 20 years ago, because I recognize how I used to draw but I don't draw like that any longer. I sometimes wonder while I work if I should keep the integrity of the pencils, or, since they're my pencils anyhow, and try to make it look like I inked over another artist who just happened to draw like I did 20+ years ago? Plus I think my style was better suited to comics back then, having been heavily influenced by them at the time.

I'm just going for it, I think, and doing whatever I feel looks right. But it's fun to revisit. This here's one panel from the few I did tonight.
