Now the question is, just how dead is he?

Oh, and if you can't see exactly what's going on, Clarisse has just been dropped in a swamp and is soaking wet and muddy whereas Amser is perfectly dry without so much as a speck of dirt on him. And that dress was brand new.

I know she look wonky, but this was one of those days where no matter what I did to the sketch, it just never looked right. This was the best I could do. I kept it mostly 'cause I really like how Amser turned out (back view) and it made me laugh.
For even more of a laugh, click this (it's safe, just youtube): [link]
It has the perfect music for it. :lmao:

This is interesting, because it seems like a sneak peek at how you'd draw comic pages.

I know this is from a series of sketches, but I can't help myself. For the part where she's yelling, I think it would've been better if her talking bubble was jagged-edged.

For when he says "Egads!" I love how the dash stretches the bubble out, too. XD;

I was also thinking, their designs are unexpected. They match a time period feel, but it's weirdish that they don't have a lot of accessories, fancy buttons, and frills. Maybe it's just the fashion-obsessed us talking, but we wanted to point it out.

Sorry for rambling about tiny comic nit-pickings. o_o;

A bit, though my comics are usually better planned out than this. ;)

Hmmm, a good point. I've been trying out different ways to show yelling as the jagged bubbles aren't working with the page design right now. If you have any suggestions for it, I'd love to hear them as my bubbles come out as either weird looking or not yelling (more like talking loudly).

(you know, there's no good emote to show a chuckle...) That's pretty much how the word ballons will look, though I'm thinking of removing the black borders and having them as just solid coloured wonky circles. I still have to pick a font, though...

Yes, it's true, they don't. Mostly because I will be drawing them a lot and a lot of accessories will make each page even longer to make, but I do intend to give Clarisse more of a fashion flair (maybe she'll get buttons). Sadly, Amser will remain fairly simple as he's a simple clothing kind of guy.

Not at all! I love nit-pickings over concept art. It helps me make it better for the final versions!

Looks good. I like some of the frizzle in her hair, perhaps when you ink this maybe accentuating with drizzle/dripping lines from her upper arms and hair to really put in the idea of soaking. Great pose on her (and him)! Perhaps some of the wonky will disappear if the wet dress has a bit more weight between the hands and the raised leg.

love your style!

When I get around to this part of the comic, it will look 100% better than it does here. It will also be a lot longer, probably spanning a bit more than just a page. That, and she will look much more wet. ;)
I think I may have figured out what went wrong in the sketch. I only drew her face and some of her upper body with construction lines, then did the rest free-hand which is why her legs and hips look really weird (at least to me).

Thank you!

Thank you!
Her head is too tall and her legs and hips don't line up properly, but hey, whatever. When I get to this point, it'll look much better. :)
