Complex City / Inktober 2026 – LADY

While Rob was struggling with his inner self, there she was; all along, she was always there. If only he’d seen her for what she was, Rob Bosco’s story would have developed very differently.
Complex City extract.

Thumbnail Sketch

This scene is another one that has played in my mind a lot. Sometimes things happen differently, but the scene and location remain. Beth is waiting for Rob at Ned’s Café, and after this encounter, Rob’s fate is sealed, in a way.

Middle Sketch

I wanted to ground things a bit better, but my first version of the location was too generic, too basic.

I wanted something with more personality, so I kept the basic layout and adapted it to a more stylized place.

Final Pencil Sketch

There were some problems, like the carpet, but I tried to keep almost all the elements.
