Introducing: Charlie the Dude

complex — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 01:57:29 +0000

Charlie is a young man ready to tackle the world, well that is until he realizes there is a roach living in his apartment, and a talking owl, and seemingly complex systems that don’t’ always make sense except to bring the man down.

He moves into apartment 1337 in building 6 at Club Oasis Apartments (let me tell you, far from an an Oasis…) in an unnatural suburbian city in the desert (Phoenix).

What happens when Charlie gets out on his own is what happens to everyone when they are independent, the katana blades of life come flying.

The charlie character sheet page will continually evolve.

The characters of complex the comic are in iteration two and still sketches per se. Follow their progression and launch into comic strip at complexcomic.com.

Introducing: Chache the Roach

Chache is a roach. Yes, probably the first lovable disgusting bug in a comic strip.

Why would I choose a roach for a main character? Well I like challenges, and I have a complex in making walls extremely large to overcome.

Chache is a creation of something which we will learn later, he has inhabited apartment 1337 in building 6 like a mafia don for a long time. Each unknowing tenant either had a nervous breakdown or transferred over time. Charlie is the new tenant and we can see how he will react.

Chache represents the psychologically complex roach in all of us: lazy, ignorant, overly confident, under appreciative, slime ball, and arrogant but he can have a good time, but is definitely a bug.

The chache character sheet page will continually evolve.

Well, we have been working on a full 6 week set that we will start slowly streaming out probably 1-2 per month and hope to pickup. We mainly put some comics out there to dip our toe in the water and to test characters and start getting our content and IP out there for complex the comic. Over the next weeks we will be posting character sheets and more info as well as general web comic news.

We are also updating the blog and presence to be more comic ready and friendly to feedback. The place should evolve over the next few weeks.

Hope to see you around!

complex. the comic. episode 1 – enter the roach

This is the beginning of the comic strip called complex. This introduces the main characters, charlie (some dude) and chache (some dude like life-sized roach)

This series will be reproduced again more clean and probably in color. I can’t decide yet whether I will use color all the time. But I wanted to start establishing the characters and putting something out there helps with this greatly.

I read that it is not ideal to start your webcomic with character backgrounds, this is not the really beginning of the strip so to speak but some iterations to refine the characters and to help have interactions to help define the characters.
