dolariAWFW and CS are updated.
I have a really bad habit of blabbing plot twists and story ideas to people. I'd like to think I kept quiet about today's CS.
AWFW has kicked in, and after much wrangling has been re-edited twice. There a story as to why it's so wierdly put together. Originally, it would have been one panel of the house, and then one gigantic panel of Andrea and her Aunt & Uncle Lording over her. I made andrea MUCH too small in the pencils and decided to break it up into 5 panels instead. But for the first time since Episode #3, the entire strip was drawn on one sheet of paper.
As for CS, I have one comment: I really need to learn hw to draw people sitting down. They have NO hips And a conviently placed word balloon hides the fact that one character seems to have broken her spine.
I had a LOT of trouble putting CS together, though. If you look in my comics, there's never any thought balooons. I've never used them. We should know EXACTLY what the other characters know "about each other." We are privy to their conversations but not their thoughts.
Well, when the heroine is in a ball gag, it's hard to vocalize your thoughts. :) And since I had no real design for thought baloons (my square balloon style hasn't changed since I started drawing comics), I decided to just use the standard Quoted Box.
The tansparent box is supposed to be a completely different conversation. I was trying to figure out how i ould make two people talking look different when we never saw them talk. I gave up, and just decided that we'd make sure one ALWAYS responded to the other. The result? This comic has more quoteation marks in it than any other one I use. Plus, I deviated from my usual quotes rule (only beginning quotes in every box until our character finished talking) to make it an easier read.
Drawing comics CANNOT be healthy. I spent the entire day planted in this chair working ont these comics, and got up ONCE to get dinner.
Andrea has a Red Velvet cake - my fave kind of cake.
