This is a character design for my comic book called The Grocery. His name is E.J. The piece on the left was done traditionally by hand, using prisma color pencils and watercolor, with a little color correction and effect work in Photoshop.

His description reads as such.

ATTENDS LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE

DISLIKES: Cleaning Feces

LIKES: B.O.B (Battles of Battle Craft [online game])

nigh impossible bagging feats.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

For three consecutive years, Mr. E.J. Hilter has won the tri-state Bagger Race. Honoring PubliK store #384 with three shiny plastic trophies.

E.J. also dreams of wanting to have taken part in the Grocery Wars, when many a bagger like he fought in the great Bagger Uprising. Alas that was before his time. Now he yearns to one day lead and avenge his fallen Bagger Brethren in the next great
Grocery War!
