i recently rescued it, and 2 others like it.
i’ll guess i made this around ‘99. it’s a model sheet (reference art to help draw characters consistently), and there are several others i made for the project. a project that i abandoned.
please forgive the quick and dirty cleanup i did on this. i didn’t have the heart to touch it.
i remember being very excited about the character on the bottom. i wanted her to look like a flower. i remember that when i tried to draw arms and hands on her it spoiled the flow of her design. i didn’t know what to do, and then i realized that she didn’t need arms and hands. just because humans have them, why must she? as an artist, i took a step forward.
anyway. these were incidental/supporting characters for a series that i had created and was quite excited about. it started out as a one page filler; worked its way up to 3 pages, and was poised to debut as a main attraction. i’m not sure what went wrong. i remember being unhappy with the story... thinking it was a bit too cliché. i also remember being unhappy when a certain artist turned down my offer to collaborate on it. there were other factors, but i think they best stay forgotten.
the little ghost made a tiny cameo in another of my comics.
the series that these were made for is supposed to have a x-over in the comic i am currently working on. will it happen? we shall see.

I really love the designs of them. Very impressive.
The skeleton looks like a young version of death. I love the added touch of the chain that it carries.
And the flower girl. Very adorable. She really does look like a flower.
Might I ask, Why block out the character names?
i blocked out the character names because i didn't want to give away any story details.
ummmm. well. it seemed like a good idea at the time.
