Joke sketches of Curley and Nellie from a couple months back. Curley is designed and constructed more like a generic comic character from the 1910s, while Nellie has oddly realistic construction.

3D "wooden puppet" models of Curley and Nellie.

3D "wooden puppet" models of Curley and Nellie.

Made these earlier last week with intent to use them for something soon.

What for? Now that would be spoiling the surprise, wouldn't it?

Happy #Halloween from Nellie, who seems to feel a bit catty this year!

Curley would have joined in, but I'm told he's sporting a headless horseman getup - and unfortunately he's misplaced said head...

Calling it for the night, but it's nice to be back thumbing these out! Got a page and a quarter done today as a good start - would like to keep that momentum going so that there's a healthy reserve of pages to continually work on overtime.

Considering a minor name change to the comic given the shift in direction I want to take (just a simple simplification down to just calling it Ruckusville), but that's still something I am still gauging is worth the trouble of adjusting the website to accommodate. We'll see!

Revised size comparison between Curley and Nellie. Slightly simplified the hair curls on the latter and generally made her body a bit more average. Dress detailing will vary dependent on how I feel the day I draw her!

Been spending the past couple of days exploring refinements to some of the Ruckusville designs as I plan to return to it. Most of it is slight changes, as can be seen here with Curley.

A comic where Nellie is curling her hair. Being unable to see the back of her head, she turns the mirror around to its back side - which inexplicably does the job in helping her see the back of her head.

To my #denizensofruckusville readers: As of writing, it's been ONE YEAR since I started the comic! As such, the "late spring cleaning" website refresh has gone LIVE, with THREE new strips to accompany the occasion! Take a look at the differences from the old (left) to the new (right)...

Update for those who follow my webcomic: I've been working on a site overhaul in the past few days, largely because having to work with the older website's code was the straw that broke my back.

Everything's technically good to go, but I'll be working on extra art for it.

Sketches for a currently in-progress character sheet for Curley. Two drawings are shown, one where he has his hands on his hips, and another where he's screaming obscenities through a phone.

Felt the urge to do some character sheets again as a sort of prep up for what I want to do next with these characters. Might as well share a peek.

Curley noticed his reflection in the mirror is not correct, and attempts to rotate the mirror to fix the problem. As it turns out, all he does is make the problem worse as now he’s standing on the ceiling, indicated by the ceiling light being present.

Near a tree, Curley and Nellie are hugging. While Nellie obliviously comments on how strong Curley's "hug" appears to be, Curley is nervously eyeing a snake - rather frightening for his size - that has wrapped the both of them up.

Panel 1 - Curley talking over a phone, looking visibly concerned
Curley: Oh, gosh - I'll be right over!

Panel 2 - Curley sees Nellie in bed, reading newspapers. The implication is that though she's sick, she doesn't seem to be.
Curley: I don't get it, you don't seem sick! What's the issue?

Panel 3 - A closeup of Nellie holding onto the paper, explaining to Curley why she's in bed
Nellie: I know I'm not, but the Smiths are nixing hard-earned cash from me - and I'm not getting out of my bed 'til they pay up!

Panel 4 - Curley hops onto Nellie's bed, causing her to flinch. He reveals that he's also been skimped out on money - and the implication is that he's just found out.
Curley: Move over then - if they're skimping, they owe me DOUBLE!

Panel 1 - Nellie is on a ladder, sorting out some of her books. She and Curley (who is offscreen) are having a conversation surrounding it, though it's clear Curley is not really paying much attention.

Nellie: I need a fair bit of help here, Curley. Do you think you can handle the English language?
Curley: Of course - My knowledge of it happens to be one of my greatest assets!

Panel 2 - The aftermath. Curley lies dazed on the ground with a comically thick English dictionary having been hurled straight to his face, leaving a noticeable dent in his head.

8 YEARS OF CURLEY #8 - Now

2024 marked the debut of the #denizensofruckusville webcomic, which features Curley and Nellie as charter characters. In the span of two years, I managed to decipher what I wanted out of these characters. Two strips for an example...

The second panel sees him walking away with the back of his head visibly frozen over, with him saying "It ain't the cold that bugs me - it's that polar breeze that sneaks up behind you!"

The final panel reveals that Curley had still been dreaming the whole time, and that the hypnic jerk he had been experiencing caused him to fall right out of bed.
