The Mesh

A row of suspects 26-09

Here’s the (almost) final batch of Whodunnit portraits: a Disgraced Heir (custom character), and a few Ominous Fortune Tellers and Eccentric Professors, one of them customized with a pet harpy eagle.

Although of course there’s some repetition in costumes, I tried to work different poses and accessories for all.

Characters no one took: Retired Explorer, Foreigner Count, Suspicious Maid.

I’m still working on one remaining portrait for patron Tablesaw. If you see your portrait here and didn’t get an email from me, please let me know to send you the files. My secretknots email sometimes glitches.

Also, if you asked for a portrait and didn’t get a reply, let me know too.

Other than that, we’re reaching the end of this theme, because almost immediately we’ll start with the traditional October spooky portraits: there will be a poll for the theme later this week.

Thanks for playing!

New comic, finished – “The Reclusive Artist”

Just a quick note to share the link to the finished comic. You’ll see that it has some very small changes from the progress pages I uploaded. Little things, like a pose change for the singer in panel 2, and text boxes with the time progress in the TV interview parts.

So, here it is. Let’s delve into the strange world of a one-hit wonder, resurrected by the power of streaming shows and his own quest into unknown regions of anonymity.

I’m preparing a dossier on the subject, with sources of inspiration and sketches, as usual.

Huge thanks again for your support, which makes these stories possible.

Juan.
