I did this for his birthday, which we are still unsure about being on November 11th or November 24th. But, either way.

I would like to thank BE for the references on clothes, though.

Various character designs (some unused or since changed) for a 2-page gangster comic I’m doing for a class - Vic, Conrad (“the Canary”) and Magpie.
Since it won’t be in color (it’s all sepias), I suppose it’s fun to see ~what might have been~ here.
