Cave Stupids


50 years ago I wanted to do a comic with cave-girls, but never really got around to it, other than doing silly character sketches. I like coming up with designs but then I don't do much with them.


The idea was called "Cave Stupids" and was going to be exactly how it sounds- stupid prehistoric people doing stupid stuff. Since lately I have my job and Skadi as priorities, and then 2 personal projects I'm trying to keep quiet on the side, I thought I'd at least do some redesigns for fun since I want to have something to post here. Here they are! New cave-stupids for you!



The girl above is named Yark (duh). I'm not sure about her, I suppose she's the sexy one? I don't know, can you have a horizontally oblong head and still be sexy? Or have grey skin and be cute? I don't know!




Meet Miak. She also lives in a cave and is also stupid!




I imagine this one is some sort of medicine (wo)man. I gotta come up with some guy characters too- so far the sketches all look like a weird Captain Caveman. Euuurrrghghghghg!

OK now for some last minute weirdstuff, here are some original drawings I did from '03 or '04, I'm not sure.

OLD DRAWINGS ALERT!!!!!!!
(I don't want anyone thinking these are modern >__<; )



I think Skadi's design evolved out of this redhead girl.




I like these but they're kind of generic or something. I prefer marker coloring still, but when you're confined to the computer all the time, real coloring and drawing becomes a luxury!





This green-haired girl's attitude reminds me of Skadi, too.





Actually I kind of like this one! I wish I had a bone guitar.

Ok that's it for old and new Cave Stupids! I hope you like them! Maybe if I get a break sometime I'll do some little mini-comics? I don't know, will there ever be time?? *sob*
