There has been this reoccurring character in my sketches lately. I’m not sure what to make of him yet. I named him Ocot the Wanderer. (pronounced: Oh-caught) I think the cartoon bug is biting me again and if I keep it simple enough I might be able to keep up with this one. I did have a Wizard of Cheese comic going a few moons ago but it just got too time consuming, between sketching, inking, coloring, etc. Anyway, I have not really developed a back story for this guy yet…heck i haven’t even thought of what type of creature he would be. Some ideas that are floating through my head are that he’s a stuffed animal…figure…character that acts out when the evil one(owner) is not around. Or maybe he can be a really deep thinker that ponders the hows and whys of the universe….eh….there’s no way I can pull that off. When I look at the sketches I think he looks like you would want to pick him up and give him a hug. Other times he looks like he/she/it should have a shank or a bloody screw driver in his/her/…it’s hand. I don’t know.

Anyway, I need some ideas. Here is a sketch of Ocot I did in a graphics app. There will probably be a few incarnations of him but this is roughly what I’ve done so far.
