Sorry! Life is being hectic and didn’t have the time/energy to finish it. I work four days this week and still recovering from Mother’s Day and my mom is in the hospital. Not the best week… Will be completed tomorrow after work!
::UPDATE:: — Strip finished!
::UPDATE 2:: — and I fixed the strip title LOL
Hee hee:) This is shaping up to be a lot more fun than originally intended.
Also, there will be a bonus sketch for Mother’s Day, this Sunday, and I’m working on a pin-up inspired by the last panel here. Weee!
Grab tissues and three… two… one… Yes, you’re supposed to feel for Velvy. His story is tragic! ;)
Artist’s Note: The first panel might be hard to make out because Cindy’s yell is in the way but this is actually a side view of both characters and a cross-section of the door. And as a side note, you might see a few changes to Cindy’s design in the future. She is supposed to be any princess, every princess. I don’t have any Disney style characters in here yet, as far as the drawing style. I did a few head studies of Cindy in the Rapunzel style and they were used as partial models for this strip. They turned out really good so I might alter her style. The only reason is because lately I’ve been having trouble drawing her pretty. It sounds funny but she is supposed to be gorgeous. If my art doesn’t reflect that, it just won’t come across.
Also, if I run out of time for a post for the 9th, I’ll post the Disney Cindy head study instead. If I manage to complete a strip in that crazy time schedule of working as a florist in Mother’s Day week, then it’ll be posted on Mother’s Day instead as a bonus sketch:) Here’s for hoping I can do a strip on the 9th so I can give it to you as bonus content!
Heh:) I didn’t put a scene change mirror thing at the upper left because, even though this is a short intermission set of strips, because it clearly says Cindy’s Room in the upper left already ;) Poor Velvy’s just fallin’ apart, isn’t he?
Story Points of Interest:
1.) Cindy put a hole in the paper so she could see out her peep hole in the door.
2.) Cindy’s room plaque with her name, as well as the door handle, have changed since last you saw them. That would be the library’s doing. As a sentient entity, it has a tendency to alter things as it will. I think it might like Velvy more than Cindy right now.
Note: The “I” is for Icarus. He’s spying. Just so’s ya know.
I was reading the comments to the newest strip for “Selkie” and realized that you all might like some new background on the comic for each strip… if I have any. Just so happens that I do!
In the strip where Alice uses her baton whips to tie up the werewolves, it was a last-minute decision to add this part in. In the original roleplay run-through, the heroes set off Red’s traps, then discovered her, actually captured her, and took her to HQ. I thought this made Red look weak, because she is truly a formidable character, and wrote it a little different for the strip. It gave the readers a chance to see Red’s character more, and how she despises Velvy and all “abominations”. This left one problem not in the original run-through: what to do with the werewolves? I knew they’d be blown up but the heroes didn’t know that. I also know that Alice will need her batons again shortly so I discussed it with TB and we decided it would be okay to have the whips detachable. Problem solved:)
For this strip where we start to see more of Icarus, I love that I get to show his glowing eyes! He’s pretty silent and has been moving forward stealthily in each panel. I hope that came through for the most part in the art.
Red has an impressive collection of weapons. This is only a small part of her arsenal. For those of you wondering about her tech, Daedalus makes it all. Hence the sea green glow any time something is used that he’s made. The bomb blast, for instance, has the very slightest discharge of sea green light (The color associated with Daedalus in the comic is sea green).
If you recall from reading Shakespeare, “wherefore” means “why” ;) Aaaaand… Miss Muffet is showing her inability to tell right from wrong.
Our heroes aren’t doing so hot this mission…
