Do You Have a Character You Wish Would Just Die Already?

[scribesunlimited]

Every time you feature it in a comic page, your blood rises, your teeth bare, your head aches, or you grumble and think, "why do I have to keep drawing/writing this character?! I so f**king hate it so much!"

That's where we are with David from "The Depths."

He was a nuisance before. Now he weighs like an albatross we want to chain and sink into the ocean. =P

But we can't because he's too important still.

Maybe not that rage inducing, but yes. I have a character that I sincerely wish I'd found another way to use.
Only problem is that she's important to the story and will be around probably for the entirety of the comic. Whee.

Yes but if I said who it would be major spoilers.

For my previous comic, this guy:

Like 15-20 pages in (out of 70) I was already super sick of drawing his jacket, but since the story takes place over the course of 1 day, basically, it wouldn't have made sense to get rid of it. It's just way over the top and required many more lines to ink than any other character in the whole story xD Thankfully on Page 44 this happens:

And he is temporarily written out of most of the 2nd half of the story

For my current project, I have a similar problem (I guess I didn't learn the first time??) with this character:

His armor is just too complex, takes too long to draw, and is hard to keep consistent for a main character (for me, at least xD) Thankfully I'm getting to "kill" this outfit in a number of episodes. I'm giving the whole cast a outfit swap and paring him down to this more stylish, chainmail jacket:

Ahhhhhhhh so much better.

Ah, we have a word for this, well, two. "Majorly f**ked".

I have an upcoming character death in my current chapter, and I just kind of want to get it over with...

[Crusoe]

Nick is pretty much the only character that's actively terrible in the story and he's a side character that doesn't feature much. One of my readers suggested he should get a snowball in his face tho which I drew for the qna and that was definitely nice.

[sefra114]

Interesting question ! It actually brought to mind a random character from a movie I watched a few months ago that I forgot about.... Oh... truly, some characters are too insufferable to forget, haha!!

[indagold]

Simple answer, I make characters I hate so much I love them.

[Maps]

Yes. Yes I sure do. Oh yes.

[Cavechan]

This is a very interesting question. ha ha.

ha ha ha ha ha...
