Design sketches for a character called the Necrojack. With a lot of characters I think their physical form or place in a story. Moe and Detritus were sketched out before I thought of their names. King Roach was an idea before he/she had title. Necrojack, however, was a name first. Necrojack sounded cool. Who was he? Was he even a he? I didn’t know.

I’ve never found a name for this guy. I’ve given him a number of different roles in a multitude of unwritten stories. He is both intelligent and athletic, clever and energetic. Most of the roles have required him to be heroic and he’s managed to take on fearsome foes without the benefit of superpowers. Perhaps one day he’ll get a name.
Weirdsmith After
It took me longer to find this image than I expected. Turns out I’d burned it to CD way back before I got an external backup drive. This version of the image appeared in my 2003 Calendar. It’s also probably the only color version I’ve got of this image. I seem to remember that I flattened, saved and then closed the original Photoshop image. Normally I save two versions of an image – one as a layered Photoshop document that I can make changes to if needed in the future, one as a flattened tif that can be easily moved around.
I should be back posting on a daily basis. I’m now using the “new” version of Blogger. It shouldn’t make much difference to your experience.
Weirdsmith – Before
There isn’t a finished version of this anywhere on the net. I submitted the finished version to Epilogue.net and it was rejected. I don’t remember the reason now. I’ll locate the final, color version and post it tomorrow.
