Meet guitar duo Aggronomy, a.k.a. Desmond Pennycooke and Bea Blaze. I’ve been wanting for a while to populate the wider music scene in my comic’s fictional world, and Comix Warriors gave me an excuse.

The present Comix Warriors challenge (until April 8) is to, “Create 2 new characters and make a comic about them.”

I had a rough idea pretty quickly, and I thought I could get something posted quickly for once. (I’m getting very tired of last-minute entries.) Well, halfway to the deadline, I still had to customize some props—specifically their guitars—and start rendering. I thought this would be days quicker!

Well, it’s OK. I seem to have a normal pattern now: sculpting and prepping for the first few days, in between working on other stuff that somehow doesn’t become a strip; then rendering and composing a strip on the last day. Maybe my last day can be Monday this time, instead of the actual last day of the challenge.

P.S.: Comix Warriors challenges are open to anyone, and normal people just draw a comic instead of trying to build everything in 3D. If you can throw something together for this week’s challenge and submit it before I get finished, well, I dare you to do it!
