SDCC Sketch Doll – Rich Schleifer

During Comic Con 2010 last weekend, I ran around the con floor and other locales with a bag full of blank dolls, searching for artists to vandalize them. These are the results.

Rich Schleifer turned my blank doll into his character Stabby. Â Stabby likes to play MMOs. Â She goes online, and stabs things. Â She’s pretty rad.

Rich took his time on this one and added in proper hair, even a ponytail in the back!

Rich was at Comic Con debuting his Stabby book, which is a collection of one page mini comics and short stories he wrote during his time playing her in Lineage 2.
