The Punkster idea came after the
creation of the first character. The first character that was
developed is the one displayed on the right. At the time I
created the character, I did not have a name for him. Eventually
I named him Bang, short for Gerald Bangston.
I created the character and the image in Daz studio. At that
time I had no plan to really create any more of them. |
|
Then I thought, what the hell, let me
see if I can create a couple more. So I did and then I created
the image to the right with the three of them.
At that time, I started to think that I might be on to something
here. So I decided to create an imaginary Punk Rock band and so I figured
a quartet would be better than just a trio. That's when I added
the singer, Crash; who is added in the image below. |

So now I have all four members of the
band, Bing, Bang, Crash and Boom. As far as the names are
concerned, I just thought that I would go with destructive
sounding names. I thought that would be cool because Punk
rockers have sort of a reputation for being rowdy.
Then I thought it might be a cool idea to make a comic strip
using the characters I had just created. I also decided to add
even more
characters to the mix. |
|
When I created each character, I basically
outlined some of their personal characteristics. I figured that
would give me more to work with once I started to do the comic
strip. Basically, I was right because it did make things a lot
easier once I started to create the strips.
So this is how it all originally got its start. When I did the
first strip, I decided to use the first character I created.
That was just the beginning of what I hope will become something
big.
