Allison Friday, The Chronicles of Crosarth

I've been drawing and writing The Chronicles of Crosarth since last fall, and one of the first characters designed for it (of course) was Commander Allison Friday, commanding officer of the HMS Hummingbird.

As I'd been planning a costume change for her in Chapter Five of the comic (which is currently in Chapter Four), I decided it was time to sit down and develop some new control art for the character.

Now as I've been drawing the comic, and have now practiced doing something other than stick figures, my skill has, at least in my opinion, improved. There are several things about Friday's old control art that bugged me which I've attempted to correct in this new version.

Y'know, like the fact that she has fingers now.

Some of these are changes I'd already been making when depicting her in other positions, while others are new (like I said before... fingers). I'm also going to try to be a little more consistent with her hair (as you can see, it varies in length even in the original control art), and the ever size-changing bag she wears on her belt.

Who knew that taking a character's jacket off would be so much work, huh.
