A War Criminal vs. A Terrifying Trio Of Judges
Strange Insect Kingdom Justice Is Decided By Deadly Combat
The Tribunal Terrible are three judges: Justice Reegen, then Chief Justice Kane and Jr. Justice Sprinkles. Prosecutor Dorenda is at the far right.
The previous comic's look as a vectory, cartoon style was a good basis for this new book. The style was directly derived from 60's cartoons from Hanna Barbera. Rounded designs with a limited art style are the style for this one too but with more attention to the details.
I like using cartoony characters because it's practical. My art, writing and publishing team is one person.
This time out of the gate, I want to be more faithful to the type of action oriented books that I've been reading for 15+ years. These types of books include Kentaro Miura's Berserk, Arakawa's Full Metal Alchemist, the Drifters series, K&K's Lone Wolf and Cub and Stan Sakai's Yosagi Yojimbo.
All of these books I love for their style and their depth of character. These tales are multifaceted! I am humbly working to make something 1/10th as awe inspiring and emotionally moving as these master artists and writers. Especially Miura and Arakawa who are the biggest influences on me today.
Above there are four sketches of a small female judge. Right at the top of the concept art piece is Justice Reegen. She is a ball of crazy energy and a hyperactive creature with a background in archery. In dark green robes, at the bottom right is the vicious and self-righteous creature Chief Prosecutor Dorenda.
How will this next leg of this webcomic series go down? Stay tuned, True Believers.
