A Head's up

My Melon & Post saga started because I wanted a legitimate reason behind the change in Post's appearance, and also for a way to get away from the in-joke nature of the Melon & Post pics and actually explore the world, treating them as their own characters in a real story. I'll admit it to you, I had no idea where I was going with it. After some developments and progressions, I now do have an outline of the story, and it's going to get bigger, weirder, and hopefully end in a satisfying conclusion. 

Since I have more of an idea where to go, I know what the next chapter is about, and it involves the sometimes seen Easter Island head character. Now, I was fearing this part, cause frankly I can't draw him consistently to save my life:





The third one is particularly terrible. What the hell, man.

But if I wanted to develop this guy some more, he needed some damn solid ides put down first. So I looked at him, and decided on a primarily geometric design, to make it easier when more extreme angles get used.


I wanted to make him look more badass then before, to contrast what I plan on being a goofy kinda guy who startles easily. Now, technically, the Profile view is wrong, I used some 2D cheats so you can actually SEE the eyes. This is not a big problem, as I never draw any of them in Profile anyway, the way I draw the eyes on most characters simply makes it look wrong. 

Anyway with a solid idea to stick to now, the next chapter should roll around soon and not feature such terrible art. Actually, as Melon & Post grows, I'll probably be shuffling it off to it's own separate site soon to make it more isolated. I figure around the time I hit part 10, M&P will have a new site so it doesn't take up so much room here.
