TPoH: Update!
For those new followers- this is an ongoing web comic that I update once a week called The Property of Hate. It is very odd, but maybe you will like it if you’re here because of possessed children. New readers can find the first page here or here!
WIP of German, Russian, Chinese, Dutch, Polish, Esperanto, Swedish, Latin, Hungarian, Norwegian, French and Spanish translations!
Anonymous asked: Hero is so cute- how do you do it? I love how unique she is too, can you tell me some of her influences?
I’m so glad you feel that way! :D honestly Hero was so important that I spent a huge amount of time thinking about her character and design- RGB came to me much more naturally and practically fully-formed, but it was so critical that Hero was Hero, not just ‘a’ hero.
There are a lot of disparate influences in her, but one of the ideas that came to me first was that she should be simple and toy-like. Her design was highly inspired by teddy-bears and stuffed animals (Winnie the Pooh, Paddington, the Velveteen Rabbit etc.), not only in her attitude but in her movement. She has a tendency to hold her arms very straight, as if they really are stuffed-toy arms, and with her over-sized wellies her gait is similarly clumpy and stiff. When she’s being active, however, like up in the tree, she can demonstrate that she really is like a real animal too. Hero is a scrambling, climbing, curious and generally very creature-like child, and I hope I’ve communicated that so far!
