art by  daq character sketch for a proposed comic project

Older version of Jamie Snow

Snowie & Me is my self described Ranma ripoff (or call it a tribute to that manga/anime.)
It tells the story of a typical suburban household on an anthropomorphic planet. In one such house dwells Jane Snow and her bratty little brother Jamie.
Jamie like most little brothers in comics, spends most of his time making life miserable for his older sister by playing pranks on her & her friends. Things change when a new family moves into the old Baskerville place. The daughter in that family, Circe St. Cerebrus by name, makes friends with Jane just as Jamie unleashes his latest prank.
But this time the girls find they have a weapon to take revenge. Circe puts a curse on Jamie that will change him into a girl. And then........
nothing happens!
Circe's family moves away and all is normal again, until a day 8 years later when a mysterious female cat is spotted at Jamie & Janes high school.
Snowie & Me was a long planned project that went through a couple of artists before DAQ came on board. He liked the idea and the characters. Still uses them occasionally for his holiday pics AND has said he'd be interested in reviving the strip as an online comic.
So if you like what you see, maybe you'll see more.
Next week I'll post the first 8 pages of the strip in rough form.
