In the backer forms for the Rita kickstarter, I asked people who were getting a sketch what they wanted. A lot of people said “whatever”; a few people asked for my dragon self. Of those expressing a preference for a character from Decrypting Rita, here’s the statistics:
Rita1 (blue, robot): 5
Rita2 (red, human): 1
Rita3 (orange, dragon): 5
Rita4 (green, Timelord): 0
Barrett3 (orange, elf): 1
Also there was one vote for whatever, maybe either Rita1, or maybe Rita3 because they figure I’ll be drawing a lot of Rita1.
NOBODY LOVES MY GALIFREYAN FAN CHARA WAAAAAAHHH but about 1/4 of the people who didn’t specify A Particular Rita or something else entirely will probably get her!
It looks like all the drawings are going to be on the inside back cover. That and the inside front cover are the only places I could actually find any white space to draw in. So when you get your signed-and-drawn-in book, don’t be disappointed when the flyleaf just has a signature!
The picture you put in mine is absolutely adorable. I got a Rita and Barret, done in the style of Calvin and Hobbes. Rita was the little girl leading her alligator friend Barret over a log! So adorable!
Glad you liked it! That one’s going in the post of “Alternate Ritas I Drew During The Kickstarter” once I pull all those pics off the phone…
Actually I <3 your green rita. she's my favorite, honestly. I can't stop imagining her in a parade of ludicrous hats!
I have a sketch of just that. It’ll probably get colored to fill out book 2 or 3! Or the eventual omnibus.
