sketch 001

updates to the book are not ready, so i'm posting a recent sketch of mine instead.  the inspiration for this was the lack of realistic black characters in comic books, so i drew a version of storm from the x-men if she were to have dreadlocks instead of the platinum blonde halle berry wig.

would the character still be the same if they changed her hair?  probably not — but, then again, why does there have to be only one?  can't a comic book superhero team have *gasp!* two black women?  i'll be mighty surprised to see that happen in any mainstream title (though i admit to not having read many in recent years.)

more photos, sketches, and comic installments to come.
