Creating Jules Jedi
As many of you should know, Jules is
me. This was stated in the 3rd comic but, is not
entirely true. He is the image of me. He is also an important
character in my comic.
I created Jules more than a year before
I created Ikky; maybe it was even earlier, I’m not quite sure.
All I know for sure is that I created him before I knew what D&D
was.
At the time, my older brother had
recently designed a caricature for himself and had a cool
nickname to go along with it. I was so inspired that I decided
to create a character for myself but, my initial attempts were
disappointing. This discouraged me resulting in my abandoning
the idea.
When I grew my Jedi braid is when I
started drawing Jules (about one year later). He mostly came out
in the form of quick doodles drawn in my high school planner
but, occasionally, I drew him in a reasonable good sketch.
The name “Jules” only occurred to me
during the creation of the comic. I’ve had a lot of nicknames in
my life; Julie, Sparky, Jay the French Fry Kid and, after I grew
my braid; Anakin, Obi Wan, and Luke for some reason but, no one
ever called me “Jules”. I must have heard it from some other
source. |
