My first journal entry, how exciting
Okay, I have begun work on re-vamping and creating new strips for a comic I made 4 years ago. It's called
Penny Dreadful: A Victorian Lunatic
I'd forgotten all about it! I'm so excited that it's finally coming together! And I cannot wait to start sharing them on DA.
It's about Penny (obviously) a wayward Victorian girl who really doesn't think she's insane, but she really REALLY is. It follows her escape from the asylum, and the adventures she has thereafter.
The artwork is a mix of anime and Tim Burton/Roman Dirge style characters.
It features cameos from Jack The Ripper, Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett, and Penny's love interest, August, a crazed hat maker driven mad from mercury poisoning (yeah,yeah, he's pretty much The Mad Hatter from the Alice books, but I couldn't resist a nod to one of my all time favorite books of the era!)
The comic is a tribute to my love of horror, gore, comedy and the Victorian era (even if, historically, it's often a little innacurate)
I hope that, once complete and posted on here, everyone will enjoy my creepy creation. I truly do.
