The winning One-Shot script for September is one themed around getting more content of Corinne Crane. For those who don’t remember her, Corinne is an Applebridge character I introduced via pin-up back in 2020. She was basically just a design I wanted to try out, but I didn’t really have much for her beyond that. As a result, that pin-up is all that’s existed of her up until now. For this comeback comic she’s got a somewhat random assortment of partners, but I guess that’s somewhat fitting given her directionless history. I do think for most of them individually you can pick out one reason or another for the pairing, though.
So this is a new character for Applebridge. She’s sort of a work in progress… I imagine most of you immediately noticed she’s got hair poofs very much like Jazmine’s, and that’s because I’ve been wanting to steal that hair style for a while. But Corrine is actually an amalgamation of several half-baked design ideas I’ve had for a while. She’s basically five or so incomplete characters mushed into one new character. I did this pic for a couple reasons. One is to flesh out and canonize these elements, see them come together into a complete image. Another reason is just to try and get a feel for her. Corinne’s mostly a design, I’m still working on fleshing out her character and role in Applebridge. I know she’s a high school student in the same grade as the Twinson sisters, but beyond that I’m still developing her. Sometimes drawing a character an help me get a better grasp on who they are, and I do think I understande Corinne a bit better now. Anyway, I hope you all like her. I can’t say when she’ll appear again, but I’m happy to at least have been able to introduce her to y’all.
