Meet the Office Crew

Continuing to introduce the characters of my upcoming webcomic, Working Actor (in progress)... Of course, the characters and their likenesses are subject to change by the time the strip comes out, but this is who they are at the moment:

Here are five of the characters comprising Jeff's workmates. These are still works-in-progress so expect changes when you see them in the strip. At least one, possibly two of these characters will get cut; I'm still refining the "office" aspect of the strip, so this whole side of the webcomic is somewhat in flux. Figuring out what I want to say and what kind of humor I'm going for when Jeff's at work will be the determining factor on who stays and who goes. I haven't started drawing any of the "office" strips yet, but I have several ideas jotted down and will probably get to that this weekend. This is all somewhat important to the success of the strip so I should perhaps give thoughts about it more gravitas, considering that the title Working Actor loses it's puniness if the main character isn't sometimes actually at his desk job, working, and not on a set somewhere. It will be assumed the title just means he's a working actor in the traditional sense, which isn't the case.

Anyway, I've been designing the look of the new website over the past couple of days, and have completed pencils on a couple of the strips. I'm getting more and more giddy as the launch date approaches. I've missed enough deadlines at this point to withhold that information until everything's in place, but I can say it'll be soon. Fingers crossed.

I don't see worker "Heat". When this becomes a movie, who in the hell am I suppose to play? hehe. The cast looks pretty groovey. I wish my sticks looked half as good.
