Appreciation For The Search For Henry Jekyll

Hyde without a Jekyll

Hyde without a Jekyll

@kcolled 3 years ago

After hearing of how one of The Glass Scientist's audience members has been sending anonymous hate messages to the creator of an amazing J+H web comic (The Search For Henry Jekyll) over Tumblr, I would like to say that the person who sent those messages does NOT represent in any way the audience of TGS. So as an apology to the creator and all of the fans of The Search For Henry Jekyll, I would like to propose a discussion dedicated to our appreciation for TSFHJ. I encourage the members of the role playing scientists and the fans of both TGS and TSFHJ to describe what they love about TSFHJ; post fan art; share they're favorite character, page, and ship; and let Midori know how much we appreciate TSFHJ.

If you have not read TSFHJ please do so it is an beautiful comic and a wonderful spin on J+H

Here's the link to the first page:

http://thesearchforhenryjek...

Also if you have read TSFHJ, Catt Hatter suggested that we post "send nice comments" on your favorite page of the comic.

The Search for Henry Jekyll - Comics - Ch. 1 Cover

London, 1891: While the police are tangled in the recent line of murders, it may be up to Doctor Henry Jekyll and his mysterious companion to close the case. But when the clues start to point towards old friends, will the good doctor be able to get out alive?

ah. I just thought I ask cause Hyde doesn't show up until like chapter 2 or 3. Hyde is my favorite especially the way he acts with utterson.

Thanks! I'm usually no good at 2D things. I was using 5 different pictures as reference so I'm happy with how it turned out.

When I try to learn a style I usually go and trace a bunch of pictures of that style. It helps me learn the subtle nuances that make the style what it is. Plus, I get a bunch of art I like that I can hang on the wall without using a printer! X3

For my two bits, I found TSfHJ before TGS. I read the whole thing through in one or two sittings, sleep be darned! :D

The artwork is pleasing to the eye, elegant and well drawn. But my favourite aspect of the comic is how visceral it is! Dealing with more of the nitty-gritty, ugly side of humanity's psychology. It's fascinating!

I agree! The psychology aspect was very intriguing and the comic does (in my opinion) and excellent job dealing with the reactions of people who experience this darker side for the first time. The art also captures the emotions of the characters excellently!

Hey Guys! I took Catt's suggestion and posted a comment to Midori on my favorite page and Midori wrote me back!! SQUEEEE!!Thank you Midori for writing back to me it truly means a lot!! And I encourage all of you to go and write a comment on your favorite page!! Stop the Hate and Spread the Love!

Here's the message that I wrote:

"Hi! I love your comic! I've actually binge read it many months ago (It was an amazing 2 weeks!) and I've got to say I'm super impressed by your art and the story you have written. You keep key J+H elements while making something unique. I love Edward and how he ships him and Utterson together cracks me up...I also ship them...I guess I'm no better. After reading all the pages and chapters you have given us so far this is my favorite page. This page summarized Hyde and for me at least it's very relatable. I love how Hyde gets done killing a bunch of people and turns to Utterson and asks if anything is wrong. AND HIS EYES!!!! The look of madness is perfectly captured! That is a very hard thing to do so I give you props for that!! The pet name just pushes the juxtaposition over the edge and the blood dripping from his face AGH!!!! I also love how the strings boarder the panels adding even more meaning. With so little words this page says so much!!! AMAZING JOB!!

Now I also want to make one more comment before I finish. I apologies for the member(s) who are sending you harsh and uncalled for anons. They do not represent The Glass Scientist community. The members of the Role Playing Scientists wanted to apologies on behalf of the TGS community and created a Disqus discussion showing they're love for TSFHJ. I do hope that who ever is sending the anons stop and I also hope that you don't hold their cruel and unauthorized actions against the TGS community. Here is a link to our Appreciation for The Search For Henry Jekyll Disqus discussion I do hope you enjoy it: https://disqus.com/home/cha... scientists/appreciation_for_the_search_for_henry_jekyll/"

Midori was super awesome and was kind enough to write back to me!!! Here's what Midori wrote:

"@Hyde without a Jekyll: Oh gosh, thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! I'm happy to see how much you liked this page (I certainly loved doing it) and I'm really touched to all the people in this community for doing something like this for my sake. I hope the anon(s) do pass soon too, and thanks again!"

ALL THE FEELS!!!! It took them a long time to get to the amazing drawers they are. I bet if you have the determination like they have you'll get there too! You're already an excellent drawer!

No worries dude, it ain't autocorrect. I just looked up the definition of "drawer" here it is:

"One who draws; one who draws an order, draft, or bill of exchange. A sliding storage compartment in a piece of furniture that may be pulled out and pushed back."

Turns out it means both, sorry for giving you a hard time over it. I was teasing. :p

I would have no problems with Al and Oswald getting together. They make such a great team!!! But Al and Hyde is probably my favorite.

i love this comic!! the style of drawing is not my favorite (because it doesn't have colours) but the plot is amazing! who would ever guess that hyde is more than a voice in jekyll's head!

Yah I do with there was some color however I think the choice of not using color gives the comic such a different mood! The grayscale reminds me of old monster movies and gives me some nostalgia but luckily the story line is much, much better than the movies. And yah, Who would have guess surely not I. ;)
