Description
I'm working on a number of new art pieces right now but, until then, here's an old unused page of "Opey the Warhead". I've got a number of false starts on the comic where I'd draw out the first few pages, scrap it, and start it over again.Here's one that would have started the comic in Tokyo, with a style that has a hint of manga in it. The comic, in this version, was more adventurous in tone, and had Opey pursed by a curvy security force officer named "Yoshi". Alas, it didn't go anywhere.
Lots and lots of hatching on this page.

you'll need to draw her more
I picture in color: her hair could be purple with a black hair thinky or black hair with a purple one...
She sooooo cute:3

Purple hair would be pretty cool, actually. I'll keep that in mind.

Yep. I never used it in the Opey story. Before settling on the final version of Opey I have here in my DA gallery, I made a number of false starts. I'd draw up the entire first or second pages, reject them, and start all over again. This ritual I repeated a number of times. I have a number of Opey pages I never used.

Huh... interesting, wonder why they were chasing him...

If memory serves me right, they were chasing a Japanese schoolgirl who had in possession a certain living nuclear bomb.

Ahhh, hostage situation?

The Japanese schoolgirl was a runaway who just so happened to have Opey in her possession. She was trying to keep Opey out of the hands of government types. I felt the concept was so cliche, I abandoned the concept.

Now you've mentioned Opey The Warhead... What's happening with him? I love him to death, I swear.

I've got plans for the little guy. I've got Issue 5 mapped out but I just haven't got the time yet to work on it. This year has been hectic and I've had to spend my spare time working on things to bring in money. But Opey is not forgotten. I'll be returning to work on the comic soon.

Yay, Opey will be VERY happy to hear you say that but before telling "him", make sure you warn "him" not to blow up with the excitement.

who's answering the guy with the beard, the chick at the front or those guys?
About the chick, I loved how you don't draw a typical line around all her face, but you do the same idea with the shadings and hair near her right chin!

The chick at the front is answering bearded dude. A form of bearded dude may show up in the official final version of "Opey the Warhead" but he won't be bearded.
As for the shading technique, I learned it from an underground artist named Frank Stack. He's an amazing artist.

Very interesting shading. I like the design of the body armor.

I love these once hidden jems.

Thanks, Larry! I have a lot of Opey extras. It's insane, sometimes, how many versions you have to go through for a comic before you can nail it down.

I guess with my process I just don't have that many, and those that I do have, I'd rather not show for them being so bad.
