Midnight Walk

“Midnight Walk”

Remember this character? Anyone who has been following me since 2013 does. This is Al, and I used to use her in my Dan comics from 2012-2013. She’s based on two girls I was friends with in real life, both of whom I had a crush on and one of whom I later dated for a while. The character has been on my mind for a while, and one of the sketches I made yesterday somehow transformed into her, so I said, “Screw it,” and inked and colored it.

I was struggling on what background to give the pic, as I was half-tempted to put her in a messy room (though I’ve never shown her own room before) or in the corner at a party, but after one of my friends on Discord made an edit of it with a city background, I decided to do that using the pic they found as the background as a basis for my own background. (I can’t find the source of the original pic, but if any of you know where it’s located, please tell me so I can add that!)

Al is portrayed as being very quiet and introverted, barely speaking much and only talking in monotone when she does. She also never shows her eyes and has said that she hates people. Because of that, I imagine she’d enjoy nightly walks on the town.

Hope you enjoy the pic! I may draw more Al soon, so look out for that.

So I decided to make a comic with Al, the girl from the Dan comics I made years back. This one will be called Eight-Layer Inferno: Semesters of Hell! It stars Al and a girl named Sabrina, pictured above in a colored sketch, and will be a mystery-comedy story with supernatural tinges. I already have the first chapter entirely written and can’t wait to start drawing it!

Here’s some information about the characters.

Alexandra “Al” Roth Gender: F Eye color: Unknown Hair color: Purple, though this may change Other notable features: Gray hoodie, very pale skin Profession: High school student Bio: Al is something of an enigma. She barely ever talks, and when she does, it is usually a sarcastic remark. Asocial, she claims to “hate people,” which makes her instantly have a disdain for high school, where social interaction is basically required. The closest thing to a friend that she has is Sabrina Rose, who Al tolerates. Not much is known about her family.

Sabrina Rose Gender: F Eye color: Brown Hair color: Brown Other notable features: Big round glasses Profession: High school student, student council member Bio: Unlike Al, Sabrina is very happy, outgoing, and generally friendly. From the day Al arrives at school, Sabrina tries hard to befriend Al. English is her best subject, whereas PE is by far her worst. In addition to being a highly achieving and knowledgeable student, Sabrina is also on the student council and has some power in the school. She has two brothers and one sister.

You, uh, do realize that most people hated Anakin, right? I think the hate for Rey pales in comparison to that.

Like, I get the sentiment, but y’all are complaining about a thing that was never a thing to begin with.

anakin, a 9 year old, somehow successfully navigates a fighter plane into space and achieves a military victory and rey is the mary sue 

Patrons only!

Nice! I caught them in Washington, DC last year. The show was amazing, with the drones flying everywhere and such, and it was helped by the 360-degree setup. And the set list was also great—they played “Citizen Erased”! Honestly the best show I saw all year.

Looking forward to the new album?

I noticed that your username is taken from the title track to Muse's most recent album, Drones. Did you manage to see them on the Drones Tour?

hell yeah, saw them last year in london. honestly it was incredible and i’m seeing them again in reading this august

I sure hope so. There’s only so much sadness I can take in a comedy series about a cartoon cat solving mysteries!

That last Lloyd episode was sadder at the end than it had any right to be. Good job.

Thank you :). The finale has a nice ending.
