Cool and Cute Chinese Vampire Toy and Web Comic
Aaron Young / Funkytwostep created “Street-Tripping” – a web comic that’s inspired by his Chinatown and New York surroundings.
Here’s the synopsis:
Street-Tripping is about a girl named Grapes who helps out at her auntie’s grocery in Chinatown. Ever since she was a baby she was prone to bad luck, which resulted in numerous self-injuries.
It turns out that tiny spirits called Jinxes (singular Jinx) were absorbing all the luck from her. No one can see these Jinxes. Therefore everybody thinks Grapes is just a clumsy little girl.
One day, she receives a crate from overseas. It turns out to be a late birthday gift from her Great Uncle Lam. Inside the crate is Hops, a small Chinese vampire. Hops does NOT like Jinxes! What makes him special is that he can see them, and he smacks them dizzy with his chain!
Will Grapes’ luck change with the arrival of this peculiar “gift?”
Here’s issue 3 – issues are now up to issue 8 on his site and seem to be updated every few days.
Aaron also has big plans for Hops – the Chinese Vampire in his tale, which is currently in production as a three inch figure. Here’s an initial sculpt.
Anyway, I love the whole idea and what Aaron is doing, so I’d recommend you click over to his site and have a peruse!
