Finally back to working on Tobi again! Including the integration of his little bro Dex into the comics! I've always wanted to include him in the comics but I didn't really know how to do so. So I ended up asking one of my friends for an idea, said idea involved Tobi, Dex, and a tacky computer.
The whole comic is honestly just my excuse to draw computers, they're very cool (especially old computers haha)

So two days ago I found out that I had completely unused sketchbook I bought back I believe last year, so I felt like using it once and for all! (since I've been meaning to get back into sketching silly doodles) so I'd thought I'd show off the first two pages of the sketchbook.
First up is a collection of Mickey Mouse doodles, mostly drew these because I felt like I forgot how to draw him, I also decided to draw King Mickey from Kingdom Hearts, along with a tiny Minnie Mouse and Walt Disney, mostly because I didn't know what else to add to the page lol.
And next is some doodles of my character Dex dressed as a hunter wielding a pop gun. the raccoon hat was mostly taken from Big Johnson Bone from Bone, the Poncho was just added because I thought it would look cool. Also I drew him meeting a certain Wascally Wabbit, I wasn't gonna color Bugs but I did like how it came out, purple doesn't look to bad on him now that I think about it.
Something I've been thinking about for a while, Giving my green goober a sibling, more specifically a brother! so I doodled up this piece of concept art a while back for how I want him to look.
The main idea was that he was more dorky and nerdier than Tobi and tends to mostly outsmart him, the name Dex came from both the word Poindexter and Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory, explaining the big glasses... And then I got my hands on the first three Bone comics for Christmas of last year, and I recently got back into Osamu Tezuka's work, so I decided to change up his design at least a little bit.
One change that may be obvious is that his body has a more lighter shade of green, specifically Lime Green (though you probably can't tell due to how the camera quality looks), and the shoes were changed to be a darker shade of red. This might not be the final color palette for him, but I don't wanna stray way to far from how he looks in the original Concept art haha.
I based his expressions more or less off of Fone Bone the main character from Bone and the glasses went from being inspired by Dexter to being more inspired by the Tezuka character, Tamao Ome. Heck the last doodle's pose is taken from the Shakespeare Manga Theatre where Tezuka drew himself dressed as Shakespeare. I might make a proper digital drawing of him some day, heck he'll probably appear in the comics whenever I get back into working on those. Though for now it'll remain a silly idea in my head :P

Something I completely forgot to post when showing off my various sketches are these doodles of Bonkers D. Bobcat ! I drew these for the 33r...
