Thaddeus - some sketches

Thaddeus is the main character of a graphic novel/comic I'm currently
in the process of creating. At the rate I'm working on it right now,
it should be done by 2068.


Thaddeus' main goal in life is to make his way to the ocean and find an
octopus to befriend. His dreams are full of tentacles.


Finally under the sea, all Thad finds are some jellyfish - wherever could the octopi be?

Pierre disdains his common English cousin.

Bearacters

He's never seen without his headphones.


His skinny jeans cut off the circulation to his tear ducts (or else he'd be sobbing all the time).

Crested Auklets - a motley bunch!

A sailor, a snob and a slummer.

A sailor:


Meet Mr. Johnson Eleanor Swick, sailor. Whatever you do, don't ask him about his middle name.

A snob:


Sir Fowler really is insufferable, but his generosity when it comes to Cuban cigars and vintage port ensures him an invitation to every party.

And a slummer:


A secret billionaire, Mr. Beanstein inherited a fortune at the age of 12 after his parents' tragic death in a log flume accident.
