Diabloville: More Peeps!

The menagerie of folks in "Diabloville" grows on. Here are Benton & Nela, Chit & Chat, and Padre Calderon.

Chit & Chat - Twin brother and sister, Tip-Top took them in after their parents met an unfortunate end. Since then, he's raised them as his own (with plenty of help from Coretta). The only children in Diabloville, Chit & Chat are rambunctious little squirrels... cute, but sturdy. Both are forward, adult in ways, and possess a taste for curious adventures. Chat is a bit more sensitive than his sister. Chit has a heart, for sure, but she also won't hesitate to cut a fool! She takes her role as big sis' (by two whole minutes) very seriously.

Padre Calderon - He's been around a bit longer than Tip-Top. As a priest, he has a special relationship with Diabloville and its haunted grounds. Quiet, stoic, and with a judging eye, most of the townfolk fear and despise the Padre. After all, isn't it his fault God hasn't saved their town, yet?

Nela - Newlywed to Benton, Nela was so happy to finally leave Diabloville. But her dedication to her husband compelled her to make one last trip back to the cursed town.

Benton - He and Nela left Diabloville to be married. But he insisted on returning, to retrieve an old family heirloom -- a sacred Mayan pendant. Benton had planned on going alone, but Nela wouldn't have it. There was no way her loving man was marching back into that bedevilled burg without her at his side.

Diabloville: Enter The Douglass!

Progress on "Diabloville" keeps on truckin'. Here's Douglass, one of the few youngsters left in the town. He's friends with Coretta and has had eyes for her since they were little. So, of course, he's none too pleased when Patton steps onto the scene. Can you smell the setup for tension?

Douglass - Like Coretta, he's got a bit of the messy-haired, Los Angeles Latino rocker to him. Including the spandex-tight jeans.

Douglass is also an avid skateboarder. But, for all his "cool factor" interests, he's just an insecure, lovable nerd.

Diabloville: Tip-Top, ya'll. Don't stop, ya'll.

Finished a few more character designs for "Diabloville", yesterday, including Ernesto "Tip-Top" Villalobos. He's Coretta's father, and the local inventor/repairman.Tip-Top - father, inventor, detective, drinker of fine coffees

I also did some work on one of the main villains. But what fun would it be if I just showed him off here and now. It's a bit early for that!

Diabloville: Patton & Coretta Live!

Work on my new comic, "Diabloville," has been rolling right along. This week, I'm knocking out all of the character designs. And, of course, the first characters I've got down pat are my protagonist duo -- Patton & Coretta!

Patton -- drifter, motorcycle enthusiast, and considerate lover


According to my Lady and our friend, Caitlin, I've made Patton "hot."
What can I say? I like my heroes rugged, with a dash of dreamy.

Coretta -- the only cool girl in a dying town, with
a quick temper and a talent for graffiti stencils

Don't expect Coretta to sit on the sidelines, looking concerned like
the geeky girls on "24." This kitten has a whip!


That's all for today. So far, this book has been a blast. I'm looking forward to sharing more, soon.

-For now, though, it's Bunker, out.
