The NEWW Fund Drive reached $200 earlier this week, and I promised Girlbot development art and thumbnail sketches in return for the support of you lovely people. So here ya go…

One of the very early drawings of Girlbot, doodled before I even started writing the first strips. She’s mutated some since then, but the basic idea remains the same.

The first set of thumbnails, along with more little brainstormy doodles. Raccoon #1 was originally meant to look more like a real raccoon, as you can see.

Shortly after launching Girlbot, I decided to make an alternate version of her to make into a big old-fashioned comic strip to enter into a project called the Big Funny. These were some of my brainstorming sketches and notes for that.

And these are the thumbnails for the Little Miss Mechanical comic.

This is a big scan of the most recent strip thumbnails in my special Girlbot sketchbook, over a month’s worth. They go from strip #164 to strip #186, which hasn’t even been finished yet. Good luck telling what’s going on in the yet-to-come strips!

Next goal is $300, when I’ll make a set of hi-res PDFs for everyone to download!
